BC's Strategies for Obesity Reduction

Global Obesity Study on Drivers for Weight Reduction Strategies

OBJECTIVE To assess factors determining the reaction of individuals to the threats of overweight and obesity and to examine the interdependencies between weight-reducing strategies. METHODS Cross-country survey covering 19 countries and 13,155 interviews. Data were analysed using a bivariate probit model that allows simultaneously analysing two weight-reducing strategies. RESULTS Results sh...

Strategies for Variability Reduction

An important goal of quality improvement in manufacturing is the reduction of variability in product characteristics. Producing more consistent output improves product performance and may reduce manufacturing costs. This article discusses and contrasts five generic variation reduction strategies that encompass all current methods. The five are: output inspection, feed-back control, reduction of...

Postoperative ileus: strategies for reduction

Postoperative Ileus (POI) is a frequent, frustrating occurrence for patients and surgeons after abdominal surgery. Despite significant research investigating how to reduce this multi-factorial phenomenon, a single strategy has not been shown to reduce POI's significant effects on length of stay (LOS) and hospital costs. Perhaps the most significant cause of POI is the use of narcotics for analg...

Reduction Strategies for Declarative Programming

This paper surveys reduction or evaluation strategies for functional and functional logic programs. Reasonable reduction strategies for declarative languages must be efficiently implementable to be useful in practice. On the other hand, they should also support the programmers to write programs in a declarative way ignoring the influence of the evaluation strategy to the success of a computatio...
