Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database (2012)
Thesis
Vundla, S. Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database. (Thesis). University of Salford

The research explores statistical models and techniques which 'have been or might be used' to investigate relationships within the international manufacturing strategy survey (IMSS) database and other similar databases. The sample data for the rese... Read More about Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database.

A dynamic model for evaluating the effects of changes in eating and physical activity on childhood obesity (2012)
Thesis
Abdin, N. A dynamic model for evaluating the effects of changes in eating and physical activity on childhood obesity. (Thesis). University of Salford

Obesity is a term used to describe the condition of excess fat. It has many dangerous side effects for health and well-being. Knowing the negative impacts of obesity, this research attempts to demonstrate the contribution offered by system dynamics...
