The stability of red ginseng saponin in aqueous solution was studied with the acceleration test method. The degradation rate constant of ginsenoside Rb1, an index component of red ginseng saponin, was $2.371{\times}10^{-4}\;day^{-1}$ at $20^{\circ}C$, and the shelf-life was about 570 days. The pH-rate profile demonstrated that the most stable range was pH 6-8. Mannitol and benzyl alcohol, common excipients for injection, exerted no influence on the degradation reaction of ginsenoside Rb1.

The stability of Bi-based superconducting wires cooled by a cryocooler was studied by considering the temperature dependency of critical current and electrical resistivity. The critical current measured in 23 K was about 7 times higher than that measured in liquid nitrogen of 77 K. The stability behavior of Bi based multifilament wires subjected to a thermal disturbance, which was simulated with a electric heater, was investigated by measuring the variation of voltage drop with time. Current sharing was occurred, and recovery to superconductivity was measured in the wire after removing heater power.

Globally stabilizing adaptive fuzzy state- and output-feedback controllers for the fully nonaffine pure-feedback nonlinear system are proposed in this paper. By reformulating the original pure-feedback system to a standard normal form with respect to newly defined state variables, the proposed controllers require no backstepping design procedures. Avoiding backstepping makes the controller structure and stability analysis to be considerably simplified. For the global stabilty of the clossed-loop system, the self-structuring fuzzy system whose memebership functions and fuzzy rules are automatically generated and tuned is adopted. The proposed controllers employ only one fuzzy logic system to approximate unknown nonlinear function, which highlights the simplicity of the proposed adaptive fuzzy controller. Moreover, the output-feedback controller of the considered system proposed in this paper have not been dealt with in any literature yet.

Structural vibrations are among the biggest concerns in developing high resolution DVR(Digital Video Recorder) monitors. The vibrations in DVR monitors are mostly originated from the excitation sources such as the HDD and the cooling fan. In this study, the vibrations generated from the excitation sources were investigated in order to analyze the individual effect on the structural vibrations of the monitors and further to establish the design alteration to suppress the vibrations for the stability of the structure and for the better quality of the screen. The result shows that relatively simple design alterations can improve the stability of the structure substantially.

This paper concerns collocation methods for integro-differential equations in which memory kernels have a singularity at t = 0. There has been extensive research in recent years on Volterra integral and integro-differential equations for physical systems with memory effects in which the stabilty and asymtotic stability of solutionsl have been the main interest. We will study a class of hereditary equations with singular kernels which interpolate between well known model equations as the order of singularity varies. We are also concerned with the smoothing effect of singular kernels, but we use energy methods and our results involve fractional time in fixed spatial norms. Galerkin methods for our models was studied and existence, uniqueness and stability results was obtained in [4]. Our major goal is to study collocation methods.

A simple and inexpensive colorimetric spectrometer for determining total cholesterol has been developed,comprising a diode laser as the light sourcoptical fibers for the light guide and a photodiode as the detector.The stabilty and performance of the new system was investigated by obtaining the calibration curve for stan-dard cholesterol solutions. The total cholesterol in humanserum was also measured by the analyzer and com-pared with the value obtained by a conventional spectrometer. The results showed that the developed spectrometer was useful for the determination of cholesterol levels. The visible diodelaser used in the study exhibited good spectroscopic and operational properties for colorimetric absorption spectrometry and could be a key component for the development of a simple and economical analyzer.

Bacillus polyfermenticus KJS-2 (Bp2) was isolated from $Bispan^{(R)}$, a commercially available probiotics consisting of more than 4 strains. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of three-layer coating on the stabilty of Bp2. Bp2 was microencapsulated with sodium alginate using an air atomizer. The Bp2 loaded pellets were also coated with HFP-chitosan and HPMCP for oral delivery system. When compared to the uncoated Bp2, the survival of the three-layer coated Bp2 increased to approximately 63% (p<0.01) in a 30% ethanol solution, 54% (p<0.05) in an artificial gastric juice (pH 2), and 53% (p<0.05) in the bile acid (pH 5). When coated beads were stored at $100^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$, Bp2 in coated beads was very stable (p<0.01) compared to uncoated Bp2.
