Recent abnormal weather condition and accompanying increase in forest fire require more study on the effect of forest fire on the stability of mountain slopes. The aims of this paper are to investigate how destroy of trees caused by forest fire influences the stability of mountain slopes and to propose a safety evaluation method for mountain slopes considering the effect of forest fire, in order to minimize the expected damage due to forest fire. To accomplish this aim, the effects of forest fire on the stability of mountain slopes are analyzed in quantitative way, and a slope stability chart is proposed as a result.

In this paper, the performance of various blockchain consensus algorithms was compared and analyzed as a method to increase the transaction cost and processing time during NFT transactions and to increase the transaction stability requirements that occur during smart contract execution. Network reliability and TPS are evaluation items for performance comparison. TPS and the stability of the Consensus algorithm are presented for three evaluation items. In order to establish a standardized expression for each evaluation item, the reliability of the node and the success rate of the smart contract were considered as variables in the calculation formula, and the performance of the consensus algorithm of the three groups, PoW/PoS, Paxos/Raft and PBFT, was compared under the same conditions. / analyzed. As a result of the performance evaluation, the network reliability of the three groups was similar, and in the case of the remaining two evaluation items, it was analyzed that the PBFT consensus algorithm was superior to other consensus algorithms. Through the performance evaluation equations and results of this study, it was analyzed that when the PBFT consensus processing process is reflected in the consensus process, the network reliability can be guaranteed and the stability and economic efficiency of the consensus algorithm can be increased.

Purpose of the electric power system planning and operation is to supply the electric energy to customers continuously and economically. With the mutual exclusive laws of nature between reliability and economic, finding the meeting point is very important but not easy. Commonly the probabilistic reliability indices of the electric power systems are represented with negatively. And the effectiveness of FACTS on the probabilistic reliability could not be reflected with common methods. In this paper, a method to evaluate the probabilistic arrival power at each load point is presented. With this new proposed method, probabilistic reserve margin at load points can be calculated and which can be used with positive reliability index also. Using the P-V analysis, the voltage stability is considered in reliability evaluation. It is expected that the proposed method will be useful expecially in reliability evaluation of electric power system which has voltage restriction.

Today, the power utilities is setting on the slow load growth and the aging of power equipment, then could spend the efforts on the stability of system performance. The asset management is separated by three parts of essential elements : management, engineering and information. The corporate of these parts should be practiced that seek to balance. Asset management is great way to fulfill the economic investment and the stability of system performance. This paper presents the application of effective asset management considering the economic evaluation for reasonable investment, technical evaluation for accurate control management and reliability evaluation for stability of operation.

This paper presents a new generator grouping method for speed-up of transient stability evaluation in SIME. The critical generators are grouped by new indices in the early stage of time domain simulation. And the simulation can be early terminated by fast stability evaluation using the time trajectory of equivalent one machine infinite bus. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it can be applied to stable cases as well as unstable ones. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested on the PSS/E test system.

Due to the Japan's Kobe earthquake in 1995, a cut-and-cover tunnel, which is one of subway facilities, collapsed unexpectedly. As a result, also in Korea, seismic performance needs to be secured for the cut-and-cover tunnel and currently, the subway seismic design standard is based on the seismic performance. However, there is no standard for the damage level or stability level of a member for securing the seismic performance, and the definition of multi-level seismic performance is not sufficient. By contrast to this situation, in the Japan's evaluation method of seismic performance, design earthquake ground motion having reflected there into the subway driving stability is clearly defined and the seismic performance required for structures is classified in detail. This study analyzes the Japan's systematic evaluation method of seismic performance for cut-and-cover tunnels of subway.

In-line measurement systems are preferred to those in analytical laboratories, since in-line systems provide rapid response to process upsets. If an in-line measurement system exhibits an unstable variation and if this instability in measurement variation goes undetected, it will make the process monitoring procedure invalid. This paper presents a stability evaluation procedure for the in-line measurement system using two independent readings from the in-line measurement system and one reading from the analytical laboratory, which requires less measurement cost and time.

Postabsorptive serum iron level was determined after oral administration of the compounds to human. In serum and whole blood, $Fe^{3+}$ was measured by ion chromatography (IC) using a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) as an eluent. The serum sample solutions were pretreated with I N HCI and 50% TCA. The whole blood sample solutions were treated with 3 N HCI for 30 min at $125^{\circ}C$. The limit of detection (LOD) of the IC technique is $0.2 {\mu}M$ for$Fe^{2+}$and 0.1 $\mu$M for $Fe^{3+}$. The area under concentration (AUC) can be obtained by the above analytical condition. In addition, to compare the stability of $Fe^{2+}$ to that of $Fe^{3+}$ in pharamaceutical preparations, accelerated stability test was carried out. After storing the samples under $40^{\circ}C$, 75%RH in light-resistant container for various time intervals, the contents of iron of different valencies were determined separately by the IC technique and the change and/or the interchange of among those iron species in preparations was investigated. Iron raw materials are stable, but $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source materials was slightly converted to $Fe^{3+}$ by oxidation. $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source raw materials and $Fe^{3+}$ in $Fe^{2+}$ raw materials are determined as impurities. Therefore, IC technique is found to be an appropriate method for comparative evaluation of dissimilar bioavailability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$, stability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ raw materials and preparations.

The effect of vinegar concentration (＋30%, 0% and -30%) on the emulsion stability of mayonnaise dressing was studied by the measurement of theological test and sensory evaluation. The emulsion stability of mayonnaise dressing increased with increase in vinegar concentration. The results of steady shear theological test indicated that C sample of the highest vinegar concentration (＋30%) exhibited higher emulsion stability than other samples. The dynamic shear datas were similar to steady shear theological data. The mayonnaise dressing samples showed time dependence, which was quantitatively described by the Weltman model. Parameters A and B indicated that the structure of C sample exhibited more stable than that of A (-30%) and B (0%) samples. The amount of oil separation was less than that of A and B samples. The results of sensory evaluation were similar to those of theological and emulsion tests.
