The purpose of this study was to analyze the weight measurement tasks according to children's ages and whether 4-to 6-year-old children use proper measurement equipment to measure weight. The study subjects were 105 preschool children: 37,38, and 30 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old children, respectively. The results showed that young children use 3 to 4 strategies. They used a strategy to estimate objects visually on the first step in measurement by direct comparison. On the second step, in measurement by nonstandard unit, they held up objects with one hand or two hands. That is, two strategies were shown in measuring objects with hands in this second step. On the third step, which is measured by standard unit, they used a strategy to choose the equal arm balance out of suggested measurement equipment.

This paper proposes a design method of ball-plate robot controller using single camera and two motors to balance the ball on plate and reduce steady state control error. To design the ball-plate system, it is necessary to observe state of the ball and maintain balance of the plate. The state of the ball is tracked by using the CAMShift algorithm and position error of the ball is compensated by the Kalman filter. Balance of the plate is controlled by driving two motors and we used DC motors which has smaller measurement error. Due to surface condition of the plate or tracking error of ball's position, there are small errors remained. These errors are accumulated and disturb maintaining balance of the ball. To handle the problem, we propose a controller supplemented with an integrator.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the BeHaS exercise program on balance and walking ability in middle-aged women with knee osteoarthritis. Method: Participants were 36 patients (experimental group: 18, control group: 18) with knee osteoarthritis. Women with knee osteoarthritis in the experimental group participated in the BeHaS exercise program for 65 to 90 minutes per session twice a week for 12 weeks. Data were collected by a structured interview and measurement tool from September 1, 2005 to March 30, 2006. Descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentages, means, SD and t-test, Chi square test were used with the SPSS Win 12.0 to analyze the data. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups for dynamic balance, but differences in balance and walking ability were only partially supported. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the BeHaS exercise program could be a good nursing intervention for health maintenance and promotion of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Further research is needed in order to confirm these findings in elderly people with osteoarthritis.

PURPOSE: This study determined the effect of balance control therapy in the brain activation. METHODS: Twenty-two college students who showed decrease of muscle strength in O-ring test were as participants in this study. And the subjects were randomly divided into experimental group (n=13) and control group (n=9). Measurement device is portable EEG (Nihonkhoden, Japan). Examinations used twenty electrodes attached to the head to capture electrical brain signals during 5 minutes with brain activated states such as the awaked state and the data were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment by balance control therapy, P3 (p<.025) and P4 areas (p<.025) showed a significantly lower ST index in the experimental group than the control group, The variation of ST index in P4 area (p<.025) was decreased in the experimental group but was increased in the control group. CONCLUSION: These results showed that the balance control therapy was helpful to change the brain activation such as the stress (ST) index at the sensory area in the college students.

This study aims to explore the role of Khan's engagement dimension previous study in mediating the relationship between work-life balance and in-role and extra-role performance of salesforce. To measure the data, a quantitative approach conducted through a survey of the sales force in the financial services industry sector in Makassar City, Indonesia. We determine the sample by using purposive sampling technique, and a total of 188 salesforce respondents. SEM-PLS with the second-order model was applied to test the measurement model and the mediator role of the engagement. The results show that the engagement dimension fully mediates the effect of work-life balance on both in-role and extra-role performance direct or indirect effect. the findings in this study also address the great concern of both individuals and organizations that the antecedents of the work-life balance variable are fundamental reasons for improving performance. The results of this study indicate that the work-life balance program positively influences engagement. Overall, we can conclude that commitment not only serves as a means for employees to fulfill formal job requirements. This can also encourage them to take action that goes beyond the precise requirements of their work by presenting them physically, emotionally, and cognitively in the work environment.

저 주파수에서 인덕턴스 단위(H, Henry)는 전기용량의 단위(F, Farad)로부터 Maxwell bridge 또는 LC를 이용한 resonance 방법으로써 유도가 된다. 이중 Maxwell bridge 방법은 국가의 단위표준을 유지하는 연구소 또는 기관에서 가장 많이 사용되는 "product arm" 형의 bridge로 잘 알려져 있다. 개발된 bridge는 ratio-transformer를 전압공급 쪽(source)과 신호검출 쪽(detector)에 사용하여 종래의 Maxwell bridge 평형조절 시 main balance와 Wagner balance의 2개 과정을 진행하던 것과는 달리 main balance, source balance, detector balance의 과정을 진행함으로서 기존 bridge의 불안정한 ground admittance들의 영향에 의해 나타나는 불확도를 완전히 제거하였다. 한편 개발된 bridge는 10 mH, 100 mH를 10 nF의 전기용량표준기와 $1\;k{\Omega}$, $10\;k{\Omega}$의 저항표준기로부터 유도 되도록 제작되었으며. 10 mH의 경우 $400\;Hz{\sim}5\;kHz$의 주파수 영역에서 약 $2.2{\times}10^{-6}$(k=1)의 불확도로 인덕턴스 단위를 유도할 수가 있게 되었다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of thoracic mobilization (TM) on the angle of thoracic kyphosis, and static and dynamic balances by application period. The subjects of this study were 18 adult males and females (${\geq}20years\; old$) who had the angle of thoracic kyphosis equal to or higher than $40^{\circ}$. A pre-test was conducted for all subjects and TM was carried out. Data were collected before the intervention, 3 weeks after the intervention, and 6 weeks after the intervention. It was measured three times per measurement and mean values were used for the analysis. The results of this study showed that the angle of thoracic kyphosis significantly (P<.05) decreased after applying TM. However, the migration area ($mm^2$) of the center of pressure (COP) in the static balance did not vary significantly. In the case of the dynamic balance, when eyes were open, the migration area ($mm^2$) of the COP significantly (P<.05) decreased after 3 weeks. When eyes were open, the migration area ($mm^2$) of the COP significantly (P<.05) decreased after 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Therefore, an intervention for improving the human body alignment and balance should be applied for a long-term, rather than a short-term, in order to be effective.

Considering biological safety, it is very important to measure acoustic power from ultrasonic array probe for diagnostic ultrasound imaging applications. In this paper, to measure acoustic power from each element on array probe for ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, we reconstruct and automate the acoustic power measurement system. The acoustic power from linear, phased and curved array were measured and analyzed. As a result of measurement, the effects caused by directivity of sound beam from curved array were founded. To remove these effects, we developed and applied the correction model. The proposed system is useful to evaluate characteristics of the acoustical output power of array probe.
