Zinc treatment significantly reduces duration of fever and very ill status in boys, but not in girls, with severe ALRI. Vitamin A treatment of children with severe ALRI had no significant beneficial effect.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a simple procedure for modifying the dynamic coupled soil-pore fluid equations in a manner which allows a stable and efficient staggered solution procedure to be used. The solution method is simpler than an alternative suggested by Park" and has a direct physical interpretation. This stabilized procedure is efficient in numerical time domain analysis of soil-pore fluid occurring in earthquake and consolidation problems. Numerical examples of one and two dimensional saturated poroelastic media demonstrate the procedure.
