  • This study was conducted to investigate the validity of using a cameraphone for a dietary intake survey method. The subjects were 28 female college students. After eating a standard lunch meal which consisted of plain rice, seaweed soup, bulgogi, cucumber salad, roasted anchovy and kimchi, the quantity of dietary intake, calorie intake & nutrients intake were analyzed by weighed method, diet record method and cameraphone method by dietitian with k without cameraphone analysis training. There were no significant differences in the quantity of 6 foods intake between weighted method and cameraphone method by dietitians with camera phone analysis training. However, the quantity of seaweed soup, bulgogi & cucumber salad intake analyzed by diet record method was significantly lower than the weighed method. And the quantity of seaweed soup, bulgogi, cucumber salad, roasted anchovy and kimchi intake analyzed by the cameraphone method by dietitians without cameraphone analysis training was significantly lower than the weighed method. There were no significant differences in the calorie intake and nutrients intake between the weighted method and camera phone method by dietitians with camera-phone analysis training. However, protein, calcium, iron, phosphorous, Vitamin A, Vitamin $B_2$, Vitamin E and cholesterol intake analyzed by diet record method was significantly lower than the weighed method. And fat and Vitamin $B_2$ intake analyzed by the camera phone method by dietitians without cameraphone analysis training was significantly lower than the weighed method. Therefore, this study suggests that the use of the camerephone may be a valid and convenient method fur evaluating a dietary intake survey. However, systematic and standard education is necessary about the size and volume of dishes and angle of photo for more accurate results.

  • The large-scale power system blackouts have indicated that conventional protection relays that based on local signals cannot fit for modern power grids with complicated setting or heavily loaded-flow transfer. In order to accurately detect various faulted lines and improve the fault-tolerance of wide-area protection, a novel multi-section weighed fault matching and detecting algorithm is proposed. The real protection vector (RPV) and expected section protection vectors (ESPVs) for five fault sections are constructed respectively. The function of multi-section weighed fault matching is established to calculate the section fault matching degrees between RPV and five ESPVs. Then the fault degree of protected line based on five section fault degrees can be obtained. Two fault detecting criterions are given to support the higher accuracy rate of detecting fault. With the enumerating method, the simulation tests illustrate the correctness and fault-tolerance of proposed algorithm. It can reach the target of 100% accuracy rate under 5 bits error of wide-area protections. The influence factors of fault-tolerance are analyzed, which include the choosing of wide-area protections, as well as the topological structures of power grid and fault threshold.

  • This nutritional survey was conducted from September 17 to October 6, 1984, in order to investigate the state of the nutritional intakes of perple living Gapoe-Dong, coastal area of Korea. This survey covered a total of forty houses. The method of this research was based on the interiview-survey with questinaires. All of the food taken daily by the people are all weighed before cooking ; the rest of food after mealing are also weighed. Thus the amount of food taken by people can be come out. The results were summarized as follows; 1) The average intake of all nutrients were below the RDA, especially calorie, vitamin B2, calcium and iron were insufficient. The protein intake was only 55.2g but the contribution of animal protein to total protein was adequate(38%). It was provided mostly by fish and shell-fish. 2) Chief food sources were rice, vegetables, fish and shell-fish, and milk, eggs, oil, potato, and fruits were insufficient. 3) The level of education and the number of family were significantly correlated to the nutrientintake, especially correlation between family-size and colorie, calcium intake were significant.

  • This study was performed to investigate the validity of food photographs for estimating individuals' dietary intakes and compare it with other dietary assessment methods. Subjects were 7 professors, 2 researchers, 12 dietitian and 16 graduate students majoring in food and nutrition. Among the subjects, 20 subjects had research experiences in the dietary intake survey more than one year while 17 had not. Each subject estimated 50 food portions displayed in computer monitor by comparing with standard food photographs, which were weighed portions of 28 foods from typical Korean diet. No significant differences between the estimated value and the weighed value of 17 (34%) food portions were shown in research-experienced group and those of 14 (28%) food portions were shown in no-researchexperienced group. 24-hour recall was the most frequently-used method for dietary assessment followed by in the order of food frequency questionnaire, dietary record, diet history and weighing method. After estimating food portions by photographs, 30 subjects (81%) were willing to use the method for dietary assessment because of its convenience and easy communication between researcher and subject. This study suggests that digital photography method would be a useful and convenient new instrument for estimating individuals' dietary intake. However, it is necessary to create standard database for food portions and carry out systematic education for food estimation in order to apply this method in the fields.

  • One of drawbacks of the inertial impactor measurement is the required long sampling time (Keskinen et al., 1992). In a gravimetric method, an impaction substrate must be weighed and placed on the corresponding collection plate before being assembled. After sampling, the inertial impactor is disassembled and the collection plate is weighted again. The sampling time depends on the sampled particle mass because the collected particle mass must be sufficiently high to be measured by a sensitive microbalance. (omitted)

  • This paper presents an alternative inspection method for counting items of a lot(or kit) in production lines or distribution centers. In this inspection, lots are weighed instead of counting all items of the lots in order to reduce the effort required for the 100% manual counting inspection. Inspection errors of this inspection procedure are analyzed and the impact of the variability of item weights on inspection errors are investigated. Two approaches, the cost assessment approach and the bicriterion decision making approach, are presented for the implementation of this inspection procedure.

  • Scheduling algorithm proposed in this paper is based on both DWRR(Dynamic Weighed Round Robin) method and QLT(Queue Length Threshold) method. The proposed scheduling algorithm guarantees delay property of realtime traffic, not considered in previous DWRR method, with serving realtime traffic preferentially by using RR(Round Robin) method which service each channel equally and QLT algorithm that is dynamic time priority method. Proposed cell scheduling algorithm may increase some complexity over conventional DWRR scheme because of delay priority based cell transmission method. However, due to reliable ABR service and congesition avoidance capacity, proposed scheduling algorithm has good performance over conventional DWRR scheme. Also, delay property based cell transmission method in proposed algorithm minimizes cell delay and requires less temporary buffer size

  • In this paper, we propose the AWLS/MFT (Adaptive Weighed Least Squares/ Modulation Function Technique) devised by A. E. Pearson et al. for the transfer function estimation of a modal system and investigate the performance of several algorithms, the Gram matrix method, a Luenberger Observer (LO), Least Squares (LS), and Recursive Least Squares (RLS), for the estimation of initial conditions. With the benefit of the Modulation Function Technique (MFT), we can separate the estimation problem into two phases: the transfer function parameters are estimated in the first phase, and the initial conditions are estimated in the second phase. The LO method produces excellent IC estimates in the noise free case, but the other three methods show better performance in the noisy case. Finally, we compared our result with the Prony based method. In the noisy case, the AWLS and one of the three methods - Gram matrix, LS, and RLS- show better performance in the output Signal to Error Ratio (SER) aspect than the Prony based method under the same simulation conditions.

  • CARNAC is a procedure for obtaining quantitative analysis of a sample by comparison of the NIR spectra of the unknown sample with a database of a large number of samples with NIR spectral and compositional data. The method depends on the compression of the NIR database followed by a modification of the compressed data which emphasizes the required analyte. The method identifies a few very similar samples and the value of the required analyte is calculated from a weighed average of the analyte values for the selected similar samples. The method was originally described at Chambersburg IDRC in 1986 and in the Proceedings of the FT Conference of 1987. This contribution will describe recent work on utilising new methods for both compression and modification.
