Unraveling the Transmission Dynamics of a Novel Norovirus GII.17[P17] Lineage During Two Consecutive Outbreaks in a Spanish Hospital. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT Norovirus outbreaks in healthcare settings pose significant challenges to infection prevention and control (IPC). To prevent and control such outbreaks efficiently, identifying sources and transmission clusters (TCs) is crucial but often limited by traditional outbreak investigations.

Lengths and heights of random walk excursions [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2003 Consider a simple symmetric random walk on the line. The parts of the random walk between consecutive returns to the origin are called excursions. The heights and lengths of these excursions can be arranged in decreasing order.
