This paper describes the variation of the critical speed of an urban railway vehicle according to the change of suspension characteristics. Suspensions of a railway vehicle are composed of primary and secondary suspensions. Generally, main focus of the stability analysis has been the primary suspension. However, secondary suspension has large effects on the stability as well as the ride quality of a vehicle. In this paper, stability of an urban railway vehicle is discussed in relation to the variation of characteristics of both primary and secondary suspension. For this, modal analysis is carried out using a linear dynamic model of a half vehicle and a polynomial fit for Kalker's creep coefficients. Stability along with change of the effective conicity of a wheel is also investigated.

The autoreclosing is applied to power system for maintaining system stability and continuity of supply. Developments on distributed generation(DG) grows significantly by environmental issues and economical issues. If the DG is connected to distribution system, the DG influences the technical aspects such as power quality, protection and stability. It causes the challenges to protection, especially to reclosing. In order to achieve reliability and safety of the distribution system, the rules and guidelines suggest that the DG units should be rapidly disconnected from the network before the reclosing. If the DG is disconnected whenever the fault occurs, it cannot be utilized effectively. This paper presents the adaptive reclosing algorithm considering the DG. The algorithm consists of angle oscillation's judgment, EEEAC(Emergency Expanded Equal-Area Criterion), calculation of optimal reclosing time and re-connection algorithm. The simulation is implemented for the DG technology by using EMTP MODELS. The simulation results show that the transient stability is maintained and the DG is protected against disturbance.

The current definition of Arismatis Rhizoma is the tuberous root of Alisma orientale Juzepzuk in the Korean Pharmacopoeia, but there is still no marker compound. So it has difficulties in quality control. Therefore, in this study, we have established a method to analyze alisol B and alisol B acetate using HPLC as a marker compounds of Arismatis Rhizoma. As the result of the analysis, alisol B content was ranged from 0.02% to 0.50% and alisol B acetate content was ranged from 0.12% to 0.25% in 40 samples. The stability of alisol B and alisol B acetate was investigated during 24 months. As a result, alisol B acetate was significantly decreased. The marker compound of Arismatis Rhizoma is alisol B acetate and the content of 0.05% or more is suitable by applying the stability results.

Fast-grown wood generally contains a high proportion of juvenile wood that results in inferior dimensional stability and durability against biological deteriorations. In the present research, the Acacia mangium wood from plantation forests in Vietnam was treated with high temperature in air. The effects of heat treatment on physical properties of Acacia mangium wood, including mass loss (ML), water absorption (WA), water-repellent effectiveness (WRE) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were examined. The results showed that the dimensional stability and the water-repellent effectiveness are increased by about 15-46% and 8-18%, respectively. However, the mass and dimension of wood are decreased. The results also indicated that both treatment temperature and treatment duration significantly affect the wood properties of Acacia mangium. It is thus concluded that heat treatment demonstrates an interesting potential to improve the wood quality of Acacia mangium for solid timber products. This technology provides an environmentally safe method of protecting sustainable common woods to give a new generation of value-added biomaterials with increased stability without the use of toxic chemicals.

Semiconductor is one of the most internationally competitive areas among domestic industries, the major concern of which is the stability of the wafer manufacturing processes. The packaging process is the final step in wafer manufacturing. Problems in the wafer packaging process cause large losses. The vibrations are supposed to be the most important factors for the packaging quality. In this study, the structure of a packaging box was analyzed through experiments and computer simulations, and further the effects of design alterations to suppress the vibrations have been investigated. The final result shows that the vibrations can be reduced substantially to improve the stability of the structure.

In this work, dynamic stability analysis of the ball after contacting with the earth in the volleyball game is presented. Via spherical shell coordinate, the governing equations and general boundary conditions of the ball after contacting with the earth in the volleyball game is studied. Via Comsol multi-physics simulation, some results are presented and a verification between the outcomes is studied. Harmonic differential quadrature method (HDQM) is utilized to solve the dynamic equations with the aid of boundary nodes of the current spherical shell structure. Finally, the results demonstrated that thickness, mass of the ball and internal pressure of the ball alters the frequency response of the structure. One important results of this study is influence of the internal pressure. Higher internal pressure causes lower frequency and hence reduces the stability of the ball.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of geometry on the stability characteristics of cylindrical microstructures. This investigation entails a stability analysis of a bi-directional functionally graded (BD-FG) cylindrical imperfect concrete beam, focusing on the impact of geometry. Both the first-order shear deformation beam theory and the modified coupled stress theory are employed to explore the buckling and dynamic behaviors of the structure. The cylinder-shaped imperfect beam is constructed using a porosity-dependent functionally graded (FG) concrete material, wherein diverse porosity voids and material distributions are incorporated along the radial axis of the beam. The radius functions are considered in both uniform and nonuniform variations, reflecting their alterations along the length of the beam. The combination of these characteristics leads to the creation of BD-FG configurations. In order to enable the assessment of stability using energy principles, a numerical technique is utilized to formulate the equations for partial derivatives (PDEs).

This research explores the domain of organic solar cells, a photovoltaic technology employing organic electronics, which encompasses small organic molecules and conductive polymers for efficient light absorption and charge transport, leading to electricity generation from sunlight. A computer simulation is employed to scrutinize resonance and dynamic stability in OSCs, with a focus on size effects introduced by nonlocal strain gradient theory, incorporating additional terms in the governing equations related to displacement and time. Initially, the Navier method serves as an analytical solver to delve into the dynamics of design points. The accuracy of this initial step is verified through a meticulous comparison with high-quality literature. The findings underscore the substantial impact of viscoelastic foundations, size-dependent parameters, and geometric factors on the stability and dynamic deflection of OSCs, with a noteworthy emphasis on the amplified influence of size-dependent parameters in higher values of the different layers' thicknesses.

In the present paper, we investigated the quality stability of mackerel based burger during frozen storage. The moisture and crude lipid contents of products were $60.2{\sim}61.5%$ and $14.7{\sim}14.9%$, respectively. The pH showed a tendency of decrease, while volatile basic nitrogen content showed a tendency of increase during frozen storage. The histamine content was $2.60{\sim}2.81\;mg/100g$, and this value increased slowly during frozen storage. The increasing ratio in the peroxide value, carbonyl value, TBA value, fatty acid composition and color value of vacuum packed product and antioxidants added product were lower than those of air packed product. The texture profile analysis parameters such as hardness and toughness showed a tendency of a slight increase in air packed product and showed less increase in vacuum packed product and antioxidants added product. From the results of chemical experiments and sensory evaluation during frozen storage, it is concluded that the vacuum packed mackerel based burger and antioxidants added mackerel based burger were good condition for preserving the quality during frozen storage of 60 days.

This study was carried out to compare the quality characteristics of korean native black pork (KNP) and modern genotype pork (MGP) during refrigerated storage after thawing. M. longissimus from 5 Korean native black barrows of 65.3 kg and 5 modern genotype barrows ($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Duroc$) of 114.3 kg were frozen at $-80^{\circ}C$ for 1 month and stored at $2{\pm}0.3^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The carcass weight and dressing percentage was significantly lower in pork from Korean native black pigs than modern genotype pigs (p<0.05). The crude fat and sensory quality were significantly higher in KNP than in MGP (p<0.05), and moisture, myristic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, linolenic acid, and cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid levels were significantly lower in KNP (p<0.05). The pH value was significantly higher in KNP than in MGP after 5 days of storage (p<0.05). Drip loss was significantly lower in KNP than in MGP during storage (p<0.05). The TBARS value was significantly higher in KNP than in MGP after 5 days of storage (p<0.05). Overall, KNP had lower moisture and unsaturated fatty acid levels relative to MGP and showed less oxidative stability during storage, however it had higher crude fat content, water-holding capacity, sensory quality and color stability than MGP.
