This study was conducted to investigate the dietary pattern of children with unbalanced diet in school feeding. Children who eat only what they like among elementary school students were selected for this survey. The general characteristics, nutrition knowledge, eating behavior, food intake frequencies and food preferences of the subjects were investigated compared with control group. The subjects were consisted of a total of 160 children : 92 male students(unbalanced-diet group, 46; control group, 46), and 68 female students(unbalanced-diet group, 34; control group, 34). There was no significant difference in nutrition knowledge between the unbalanced-diet group and the control group. Dietary behavior of control group turned out to be more desirable than that of the unbalanced-diet group. In addition, 68.7% of the unbalanced-diet group and 13.8% of the control group hated to eat vegetables. The result of food intake frequency indicates that the control group turned out to be higher in their intake of fish, cereals, vegetables, seaweeds, fats & oils and Kimchi compared with unbalanced-diet group. Intake frequency of minerals and vitamins of the control group was higher than that of the unbalanced-diet group. On the other hand, the unbalanced-diet group turned out to be higher in sugar intake. Children showed the greatest preference of fruits. The unbalanced group turned out to prefer sugar and beverages more than the control group. These results suggest that the desirable dietary habits of children should be formed with the help of nutrition education designed for behavior modification.

Stand-alone inverter supplies constant voltage to loads. However, when a three-phase stand-alone inverter supplies unbalanced load, the generated output voltages also become unbalanced. The nonlinear characteristics of inverter dead time cause a more serious distortion in the output voltage. With unbalanced load, voltage distortion caused by dead time differs from voltage distortion under balanced load. Phase voltages in the stationary reference frame include unbalanced odd harmonics and then, d-q axis voltages in the synchronous reference frame have even harmonics with different magnitude, which are mitigated by the proposed multiple resonant controller. This study analyzes the voltage distortion caused by unbalanced load and dead time, and proposes a novel dead time compensation method. The proposed control method is tested on a 10-kW stand-alone inverter system, and shows that total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced to 1.5% from 4.3%.

Transverse flux machine (TFM) has been considered as a promising driving machine especially at the low-speed applications because it has higher power density, torque and efficiency than the conventional electrical motors. However, it has complicated structure, large torque ripple and sometimes unbalanced magnetic force due to its inherent structure. This paper investigates the characteristics of torque ripple and unbalanced magnetic force of a rotatory two-phase TFM due to the teeth geometry by using the 3-dimensional finite element method, and it develops a rotatory two-phase TFM with herringbone teeth to reduce the torque ripple as well as to eliminate the unbalanced magnetic force.

This research addresses flow time prediction in the dynamic unbalanced job shop scheduling environment. The specific purpose of the research is to develop the job flow time prediction model in the dynamic unbalance djob shop. Such factors as job characteristics, job shop status, characteristics of the shop workload, shop dispatching rules, shop structure, etc, are considered in the prediction model. The regression prediction approach is analyzed within a dynamic, make-to-order job shop simulation model. Mean Absolute Lateness (MAL) and Mean Relative Error (MRE) are used to compare and evaluate alternative regression models devloped in this research.

In order to investigate the effect of liquid balancer in washing machine, we identify the vibration characteristics of suspension system of washing machine and formulate the 4 D. O. F. system dynamic equations. As the washing machine rotates higher speed, it is emphasized to reduce the ecentric force due to unbalanced mass. Nowadays, the most effective cancelling method of eccentric force is known as the usage of liquid balancer. To determine the liquid distribution in liquid balancer, the fluid statics is considered. The system dynamic equations are solved by Runge-Kutta method and represent the good characteristics of real washing machine in X-Y plane. The accuracy of the numerical solution was examined by experiments. The simulation results show that the unbalanced mass has so much influence on vibration magnitude and the rotating shape of spin-basket. But the effect of mass reduction due to the dehydration of the spin-basket has little influence on transient vibration.

The unbalanced heavy-loaded elevation-driving system is composed of link-mechanism, hydraulic cylinder and compensator for the static unbalanced moment of the load. Control and compensation of elevation-driving system is very difficult because these mechanisms imply highly nonlinear properties due to hydraulic fluid characteristics and mechanical rotation of link-mechanism. In this study, through the analysis of the link-mechanism, the optimal design of the link-mechanism is suggested. Also to estimate the control performance of the unbalanced, heavy-loaded servo-controlled system, modeling and simulation of nonlinear system are carried out. To prove the validity of performance estimation program, simulation results are compared with the experimental results. Both results are similar, therefore this program will be helpful to study the improvement of the system control performance.

In this paper, we propose a series active power filter control method to compensate current harmonics and unbalanced source voltage. The system is composed of series active power filter and shunt passive filer that are tuned 5th and 7th harmonics. In this conventional system, series active power filter complements drawbacks of the shunt passive filter, namely improves harmonic compensation characteristics, and compensates unbalanced source voltage. In the proposed algorithm, compensation voltage for harmonic reduction is calculated by performance function, and compensation voltage for unbalanced source voltage is calculated in based on a synchronous reference frame. So, ultimate compensation voltage is sum of those two compensation voltages. By computer simulation, we verify the excellency of proposed method.
