Abstract
This chapter is meant to serve as a brief description of the aims and contents of the research work which produced this thesis. We will introduce some of the problems that we have sought to tackle and how this work is going to help researchers in a variety of fields.
“When you can measure what you are speaking about,
and express it in numbers, you know something about it”.
