Over the past two decades, substantial research has been conducted to investigate the idea that alterations in short-term nutritional intake play a role in influencing cognitive behaviour and mood. A portion of this research has examined specifically the effect of meal intake on the performance of mental tasks and subjective feelings of mood. Results of this research indicate that a number of v...

Total energy intake and the frequency and size of meals are profoundly influenced by the socio-cultural context in which it occurs. Simply eating with one other person increases the average amount ingested in meals by 44% and with more people present the average meal size grows even larger. The impact of social facilitation of energy intake on the individual appears to result from genetic effec...

Introduction : Nutritional status of any community is influenced by interplay of various factors including beliefs, customs, food availability in the region. Children from tribal groups are particularly under privileged. They have higher rates of morbidity and are known to receive less than desired nutritional intake. The present study was conducted with the objectives to study the feeding prac...

Following the Smith compensator the parallel compensator designed for difficult, e.g. nonminimum phase plants is applied to systems with relay control. The compensator connected in parallel to the plant changes its properties so that the replacement plant model becomes simpler and may be shaped dependently upon the goal of the control. In the case of regulation on a constant level a first order...

Although major research efforts have focused on how specific components of foodstuffs affect health, relatively little is known about a more fundamental aspect of diet, the frequency and circadian timing of meals, and potential benefits of intermittent periods with no or very low energy intakes. The most common eating pattern in modern societies, three meals plus snacks every day, is abnormal f...

OBJECTIVE To assess food intake and meal patterns in adolescents, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 228 adolescents from a public school, SP, Brazil. METHODS Total energy, macronutrients, calcium, iron, and vitamin A intakes were evaluated. The food pattern was compared with the eating patterns established by the Food Pyramid for adolescents. Meal frequency was assessed to identify m...

Obesity is a global public health priority. Restrained eating is related to obesity and total energy intake but associations with the eating patterns are unclear. We examined the associations of restrained eating with the size and frequency of intake occasions among 1213 British adult (19-64 y) participants in a cross-sectional analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2000. The Dut...

Two feeding trials were conducted to determine the optimum feeding frequency in growing Korean rockfish, (Sebastes schlegeli) reared at the temperatures of 15°C and 19°C. Fish averaging 92.2±0.7 g (mean±standard deviation [SD]) at 15.0±0.5°C and 100.2±0.4 g (mean±SD) at 19.0±0.5°C water temperature were randomly distributed into each of 15 indoor tanks containing 250-L sea water from a semi-rec...

RFID is an emerging innovation and has viable connection to animal tracking. A sensor system which utilizes remote innovation is proposed for checking the livestock. Using RFID Livestock can be monitored efficiently against missing animals and new animals can be included in stock and the vaccination procedures can be monitored in a regular basis. This paper contributes and delineates the other ...
