With the emergence of various high-powered electrical equipment, demand for electric energy has increased rapidly. Subsequently, it highlighted some issues electricity consumption, such as adjustment consumption peak. Although many scheduling schemes have been proposed to adjust and control user load current regulation is not accurate effective because different regional grid users a complex ne...

BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed for female adolescents in the Suihua area of North China. The FFQ was evaluated against the average of 24-hour dietary recalls (24-HRs). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A total of 168 female adolescents aged 12 to 18 completed nine three consecutive 24-HRs (one three consec...

BACKGROUND No previous study has shown the validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in early pregnancy with consideration of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of a FFQ in early pregnancy for Japanese pregnant women. METHOD We included 188 women before 15 weeks of gestation and compared estimated nutrient intake and food grou...

The sharp bounds for the third and fourth coefficients of Ma-Minda starlike functions having fixed second coefficient are determined. These results are proved by using certain constraint coefficient problem for functions with positive real part whose coefficients are real and the first coefficient is kept fixed. Analogous results are obtained for a general class of close-to-convex functions

In one type the 6,are fed into the machine in such a way as to drive the unknowns Xj to their correct values. In the second type, the xf are not driven by power supplied from the constant inputs but reach an equilibrium situation corresponding to the solution by a process of adjustment. We are concerned in this article with the operating conditions for this last type of machine when the adjusti...

This paper deals with the problem of recovering the input signal applied to a linear time-invariant system from the measures of its output and the a-priori knowledge of the input statistics (blind equalization). Under the assumption of an i.i.d. non-gaussian input sequence, a new iterative procedure based on phase sensitive high-order cumulants for adjusting the coefficients of a transversal eq...
