As importance of quality control in corporate environments is increasing, new methods for quality control have been suggested by various researchers. Based on gamification theory, this study suggests a new method for quality control. Firstly, this paper defines three problems of quality control that can be easily faced with in corporate environments. Secondly, three gamification methods aiming quality improvement are suggested. Finally, a survey is provided to prove the effect of the suggested gamification methods. Comparing the suggested gamification methods with the existing quality control methods, this study found that the suggested gamification methods could improve the level of quality control.

Objectives: Control methods against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) aerosols have been introduced. Airborne spreading theories for SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed in this study. Methods: Control methods for airborne microorganisms were discussed. Studies on theoretical estimations for airborne spreading of SARS-CoV-2 were presented and analyzed. Analytic calculations were conducted for explaining control techniques for airborne microorganisms. Results: Control methods for SARS-CoV-2 aerosols can include physical or biological procedures. Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols and massive clustering infection cases of COVID-19 support the airborne spreading theories of SARS-CoV-2. It is necessary to consider the disadvantages of control methods for airborne microorganisms. Conclusions: A study on control methods against bioaerosols is necessary to prevent the spreading of viruses. Airborne spreading theories of SARS-CoV-2 were supported by the current evidence, but further studies are needed to confirm these theories.

Stepper motor is widely used in positioning applications due to its durability and high torque to inertia ratio as well as low cost and ability to be easily controlled with open-loop. Due to increased resolution of position control and improved stability of motion control, microstepping has drawn attention in industry since it was introduced in 1970s. With the increase in computational power and decrease in cost of embedded processors in recent years, drives and control systems for stepper motors have become more sophisticate than ever. Thus, closed-loop control methods have been developed to improve the performance of the stepper motors. In this paper, we review not only basic principles of conventional control methods used for stepper motors but also that of microstepping control. In addition, we surveyed recent development in nonlinear control methods applied to stepper motors. The nonlinear control methods are presented in the view of Lyapunov stability. Nonlinear torque disturbance observer, sliding mode control, and nonlinear phase compensation are also presented.

In this paper we develop a new procedure to control stepsize for Runge- Kutta methods applied to both ordinary differential equations and semi-explicit index 1 differential-algebraic equation In contrast to the standard approach, the error control mechanism presented here is based on monitoring and controlling both the local and global errors of Runge- Kutta formulas. As a result, Runge-Kutta methods with the local-global stepsize control solve differential of differential-algebraic equations with any prescribe accuracy (up to round-off errors)

The present study proposes efficient procedural modeling methods for enabling the growth and creation of various trees with minimal user control. Growth volume algorithms are utilized in order to easily and effectively calculate many parameters that determine tree growth, including branch propagation. Procedural methods are designed so that users' interactive control structures can be applied to these algorithms to create unique tree models efficiently. First, through a two-line-based interactive growth volume control method, the growth information that determines the overall shape of the tree is intuitively adjusted. Thereafter, independent branch control methods designed to control individual branches are added to the growth deformation in order to enable the growth of unique trees. Whether the growth processes of desired trees can be easily and intuitively controlled by the proposed method is verified through experiments. Methods that can apply the proposed methods are also verified.

Torque control methods of wind turbine are mainly classified into two methods: torque-mode and speed-mode methods. The traditional torque-mode method, in which generator torque proportional to square of generator speed is determined, has been chosen in many wind turbines but its response is slower as they are larger in multi-MW size. Torque control methods based on both speed-mode and torque-mode can be used to make response of wind turbine faster. In this paper, two torque control methods based on the traditional torque-mode method are applied to a 2.75 MW wind turbine. It is shown through some simulation results for real turbulence wind speeds that torque control method based on torque-mode has the merit of reducing fluctuations of generated power than PI controller based on speed-mode.

Whereas in non-symmetrical distribution manufacturing process they are not plotted relatively on the centeral line but plotted on the skew of right-hand side or left-hand side. That is to say, for the prupose of producing either upper-specification-oriented items or lower-specification-oriented items, and when we carry out tighter control so as to have them pass only its specifications, the distribution shape naturally has a non-normal distribution. In these cases, we could use either compressed control limits or variable transformed logarithm control charts. It the above mentioned methods were not available, we should use special purpose control chart-Mode control chart or Gram-Charlier control chart. These are proper methods for manufacturing process control which uses control chart method. In spite of these methods, domestic manufacturing and mining companies are utterly ignorant about these methods. That invites practical problems in their companies. To enhance this improvements, I proved the property of practical applications of control chart method by comparing and analyzing the case studies of practical application of speical purpose control chart method, and also by introducing the application methods.

While the engine dynamics is, in nature, a uncertain nonlinear system, practical control methods for nonlinear systems are presently limited. This paper discusses important issues of engine control such as fuel economy, exhaust emission control, and driveability. Recent development in engine control technologies is reviewed. New control methods which appear to be useful for engine control are introduced.

Controlling spillway gates of dams is a complex, nonlinear, non-stationary control process and is significantly affected by hydrological conditions which are not predictable beforehand. In this paper, control methods based on dynamic fuzzy control are proposed for the operation of spillway gates of dams during floods. The proposed methods are not only suitable for controlling spillway gates but also able to maintain target water level in order to prepare a draught. In the proposed methods, we use dynamic fuzzy control that the membership functions can be varied by changing environment conditions for keeping up the target water level, instead of conventional static fuzzy control. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods based on dynamic fuzzy control produce an accurate and efficient solution for both of controlling spillway gates and maintaining target water level defined beforehand.

Moisture content of ultrasonic treated breast meat was higher than that of control, fat content of control of breast and leg meat were higher than that of ultrasonic treatment, and protein of control of breast meat was higher than that of ultrasonic treatment. Hunters L(lightness)-and a(redness)-value were not different between cooking methods, L-value of breast meat and a-value of leg meat were higher without regard to cooking method. Hunterb (yellowness)-value was not different among cooking chicken meats. Cooking yield was not different between cooking methods, pH of ultrasonic treated chicken meats were higher than that of control. Water holding capacity and salt soluble protein extractability of ultrasonic treated breast meat were greater than that of control.
