This paper discusses the need and suitability for an Empirical Modelling approach for the provision of business optimisation support. This is with particular reference to the fast food industry, with a model of this environment being created. Its limitations, and those of EM as a whole in this area are also discussed.

Fast Marching and Fast Sweeping are the two most commonly used methods for solving the Eikonal equation. Each of these methods performs best on a different set of problems. Fast Sweeping, for example, will outperform Fast Marching on problems where the characteristics are largely straight lines. Fast Marching, on the other hand, is usually more efficient than Fast Sweeping on problems where cha...

The purpose of this project is to analyze the impact of a minimum wage increase on the probability of being employed in the fast food industry in selected states and to test the hypothesis that this impact may be different in different regions of the United States. Our study uses the Current Population Survey (CPS) and focuses on four states divided in two groups. The first group includes Vermo...

conclusions trained emrs like their fellow rrs have the ability to perform fast scan with high diagnostic value in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. objectives this study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy of fast performed by emergency medicine residents (emr) and radiology residents (rrs) in detecting peritoneal free fluids. patients and methods patients triaged in the emerg...

Although the Fourier Transform is the traditional frequency domain analysis tool in communications systems, other transforms are pointed out in the context of orthogonal series representation of periodic signals. Last year, we became interested in the Walsh Transform and developed virtual instruments (VIs) to compute the Walsh transform, to generate the Walsh basis functions and modified LabVIE...

Background: Consumption of fast food, as a consequence of the modern industrial society, has increased in recent years among teenagers and young people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fast food consumption on female students in Yazd University of Medical Sciences based on the Prototype/Willingness Model. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, 245 female dormito...
