BACKGROUND Regular self-weighing has been a focus of attention recently in the obesity literature. It has received conflicting endorsement in that some researchers and practitioners recommend it as a key behavioral strategy for weight management, while others caution against its use due to its potential to cause negative psychological consequences associated with weight management failure. The ...

Abstract: It is difficult to weigh the light objects by weighing balance accurately when measured individually. If several light objects are weighed in groups rather than individually then the precision of the estimates increases quite considerably. There are two types of balances one is chemical balance and other is spring balance. Spring balance is similar when only one pan of chemical balanc...

Diamagnetic levitation offers stable confinement of an object from its environment at zero power, and thus is a promising technique for developing next generation unclamped resonant sensors. In this work, we realize weighing scale using graphite plate that diamagnetically levitating over checkerboard arrangement permanent magnets. We characterize the bending vibrations laser Doppler vibrometry ...
