The electrical properties and stability of ZPCCY-based varistors composing of $ZnO-Pr_{6}O_{11}-CoO-Cr_{2}O_{3}-Y_{2}O_{3}$ ceramics were investigated with sintering time. As sintering time is increased, the nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of 51.19~26.70. Among varistors having above 30 in nonlinear exponent, for the varistor sintered for 1h, the nonlinearity was superior to the stability comparatively and, in the case of 2h, the stability was superior to the nonlinearity relatively. Consequently, it is estimated that the varistors sintered for 1~2h will be applied to various fields by trade-off between nonlinearity and stability.

As a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring hormone somatostatin, octreotide has been commercially formulated in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres for the treatment of acromegaly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate stability of octreotide acetate in aqueous solutions at various pH values and PLGA films. Stability-indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed with good precision and accuracy, and it was applied to the stability studies. In aqueous solutions at pH 2.5-9.0, the degradation of octreotide followed approximately first order kinetics and the most favorable stability was found at pH 4. In PLGA films, the formation of acylated octreotides reached approximately 55% of the released octreotides. Various acylated octreotides was structurally identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis.

This paper proposes a new $H_{\infty}$ yaw moment control scheme using brake torque switching for improving vehicle performance and stability especially in high speed driving. In the scheme, one wheel is selected, depending on the vehicle states, at which a brake torque for control is applied. Steering angles are modeled as a disturbance to the system and the $H_{\infty}$ controller is designed to minimize the difference between the performance of the vehicle and that of the desired model. Its performance robustness as well as stability robustness to system parameter variations is assured through ${\mu}$-analysis. Various simulations with a nonlinear 8-DOF vehicle model show that proposed controller enhances the vehicle performance and stability under disturbances and parameter variations as well as under the normal driving condition.

The potentiometric methods have been used to determined the protonation constants (logKiH) for the synthesized 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane-N,N',N''-tri(methylacetic acid) [N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid)] and the stability constants (logKML) of the complexes of divalent and trivalent metal ions with the ligand N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid). The protonation constants of N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 9.70 for logK1H, 9.18 for logK2H, 7.27 for logK3H, 3.38 for logK4H, and 2.94 for logK5H. The stability constants for the complexes of divalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 10.39 for Co2+, 10.68 for Ni2+, 13.45 for Cu2+, and 13.00 for Zn2+. The order of the stability constants for the complexes of the divalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) was Co2+ < Ni2+ < Zn2+ < Cu2+. The stability constants for the complexes of trivalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 16.20 for Ce3+, 16.40 for Eu3+, 16.27 for Gd3+, and 15.80 for Yb3+. The results obtained in this study were compared to those obtained for similar ligands, 1,7-dioxa-4,10,13-triazacyclopentadecane-N,N',N"-tri(methylacetic acid) and 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane-N,N',N"-triacetic acid, which have been previously reported.

Glycolic acid(GA) is well known the most effective cosmetic ingredient on the epidermal remodeling, accelerated desquamation and inhibitory effect on melanin synthesis. The various cosmetic formulations containing GA have not been reported in terms of stability. This study was to investigate the stability of three formulations(gel, cream, and ointment). The stability of obtained formulations was tested chemical and physical characteristics including the composition stability, hot-cool cycling, the variation of pH and viscosity, and the observation of color and odor. The experimental results showed that the gel and cream containing 5% GA, both formulations have proper stability in the centrifugal test, hot-cool cycling test, viscosity, pH stability and the observation of color and odor. On the other hand, the 5% GA ointment did not have stability. We concluded that the formulations of gel and cream are more suitable than ointment to use GA ingredient for developing cosmetic in terms of stability.

In the present study, silk fibroin (SF) was dissolved in $CaCl_2/H_2O/EtOH$ solution at $85^{\circ}C$. After the dissolution, the SF solution was cooled down and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 28 d. The stability of the solution's viscosity and electrospinnability was observed to examine the stability of SF molecules during storage in $CaCl_2/H_2O/EtOH$ solution. The viscosities of $SF/CaCl_2/H_2O/EtOH$ solution and SF formic acid solution did not change during 28 days' storage of SF in $CaCl_2/H_2O/EtOH$ solution. The electrospinnability of the SF solution, mean diameter of the electrospun SF fiber, and crystallinity index of electrospun SF web did not change, regardless of the length of the storage period. These results imply that SF molecules do not degrade during 28 days' storage in $CaCl_2/H_2O/EtOH$ solution.

$\beta$-Amylase was purified from sweet potato by acetone fractlonatlon, Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography and Sepgadex G-200 gel chromatographyl The higher enzyme concentration was, the higher heat stability of enzyme became. After 1 hour 30 minute. At 6$0^{\circ}C$ in pH 5, enzyme under concentration of 30$\mu$l/ml lost its activity completely and over the concentration of 100$\mu$g/ml remained 25% of activity. The enzyme was stabilized at range of pH 4~10 and pH stability was increased by glycerol. Five moles of NaCl inhibited completely of the enzyme activity. SDS of 0.05% inhibited the enzyme completely after 12 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ in pH5. One mole guanidine-HCl and 8M urea inhibited the entire enzyme after 13 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ in pH 5.

We show that two concepts of h-stability and h-stability in variation for nonlinear difference systems are equivalent by using the concept of $n_{\infty}$-summable similarity of their associated variational systems. Also, we study h-stability for perturbed non-linear system y(n+1) =f(n,y(n)) + g(n,y(n), Sy(n)) of nonlinear difference system x(n+1) =f(n,x(n)) using the comparison principle and extended discrete Bihari-type inequality.

This paper considers the problem of robust H$_{\infty}$ control with regional stability constraints via output feedback to assure robust performance for uncertain linear systems. A robust H$_{\infty}$ control problem and the generalized Lyapunov theory are introduced for dealing with the problem, The output feedback H$_{\infty}$ controller makes the controlled outputs settle within a given bound and the control input not to be saturated. The regional stability constraints problem for uncertain systems can be reduced to the problem for the nominal systems by finding sufficient bounds of variations of the closed-loop poles due to modeling uncertainties. A controller design procedure is established using the Lagrange multiplier method. The controller design technique was illustrated on the track-following system of a optical disk drive.ve.

When the enzyme preparations were at various temperatures for 1 hour, the thermal stability for the enzyme was maximum at $30{\circ}C.$ The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was at $40{\circ}C.$ When the enzyme preparations were exposed to various pHs for 22 hours, the enzyme stability was maximum at pH 3.8, and it was decreased gradually as the pH rose up to 4.8, above which the stability was greatly restored. When the exposure period was extended from 22 to pH's 3.0 and 5.9, but the stability tended to rise at pH's below 3.0 and above 5.9. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was obtained at 4.8.
