This paper proposed a bias stability circuit that compensates the degradation of MMIC's performance for the variation of the process and temperature. The proposed bias circuit proved the superior effect compared with the conventional bias circuit using the constant current source. It designed and fabricated simultaneously two amplifier on one layout for comparison in same conditions. One is amplifier with conventional bias circuit using constant current source and the other is amplifier with proposed bias stability circuit. The chip was measured the microwave performances under process variation that classed the level NOM, MIN and MAX. The amplifier with a conventional bias circuit using constant current source has 6.4 dB gain variation and 7 mA Ids variation at 1.8 GHz, but the amplifier with the proposed bias circuit has the 2.1 dB gain variation and 3 mA Ids variation. As the result, MMIC having the proposed bias circuit shows the superior compensation of the quiescent point than the MMIC having the conventional bias circuit under the variations of the process and temperature and can improve the yield of the MMIC. The fabricated chip size is 1.2 mm $\times$ 1.4 mm.

$\beta$-glucosidase derived from Aspergillus niger was immobilized by (1) covalent linkage on chitin and chitosan with glutaraldehyde, (2) adsorption on DEAE-cellulose and Amberite IRA93 after succinylation, and (3) entrapment on alginate and polyacrylamide gels with various cross linking agents. The retention yield of $\beta$-glucosidase immobilized on chitosan was 31.5% and operational stability was 69% after continuous operation at column reactor(5$0^{\circ}C$ at pH 4.8) for 15 days. The retention yield and operational stability were 24.7% and 60% respectively, in adsorption on Amberite IRA 93. On the other hand, the entrapment method by alginate and polyacrylamide gel was identified to be not appropriate due to the continuous elution of inlmobilized $\beta$-glucosidase. Optimum conditions for the immobilization on chitosan were also studied with optimum pH of 4.8 and glutaraldehyde concentration of 0.4%(w/v). The properties and stability of immobilized $\beta$-glucosidase are also investigted. The conversion yield of cellobiose to glucose was also analyzed using the column type enzyme reactor to evaluate the effectiveness of immobilized enzyme.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the stress distribution effect of tightening torques of different abutment screws in a custom-abutment implant system on the abutment-fixture connection interface stability using finite element analysis. Methods: The custom-abutment implant system structures used in this study were designed using CATIA program. It was presumed that the abutment screws with a tightening torque of 10, 20, and 30 N·cm fixed the abutment and fixture. Furthermore, two external loadings, vertical loading and oblique loading, were applied. Results: When the screw tightening torque was 10 N·cm, the maximum stress value of the abutment screw was 287.2 MPa that is equivalent to 33% of Ti-6Al-4V yield strength. When the tightening torque was 20 N·cm, the maximum stress value of the abutment screw was 573.9 MPa that is equivalent to 65% of Ti-6Al-4V yield strength. When the tightening torque was 30 N·cm, the maximum stress value of the abutment screw was 859.6 MPa that is similar to the Ti-6Al-4V yield strength. Conclusion: As the screw preload rose when applying each tightening torque to the custom-abutment implant system, the equivalent stress increased. It was found that the tightening torque of the abutment influenced the abutment-fixture connection interface stability. The analysis results indicate that a custom-abutment implant system should closely consider the optimal tightening torque according to clinical functional loads.

The effects of the hindered and non-hindered water soluble long-chain disulfide bonds on the stability and cytotoxicity of the ricin A chain (RTA) immunotoxin were examined. The RTA immunotoxins were prepared with the Fab fragments of anti-common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) monoclonal antibody (Fab-RTA) using sulfosuccinimidyl-6-[(-methyl-(-2-pyridyldithio)toluamido]toluamido]hexanoate (S-LC-SMPT) and sulfosuccinimidyl-6-[3-(2-pyridyldithio-propionamido]hexanoate (S-LC-SPDP). The prepared Fab-RTA immunotoxins were evaluated for their conjugation yield, immunoreactivity, thermal and disulfide bond stability and cytotoxicity. The conjugation yield of the Fab-RTA immunotoxin from the water soluble long chain crosslinking agents, S-LC-SMPT and S-LC-SPDP, were comparable. Both Fab-RTA immunotoxins exhibited a similar immunoreactivity and thermal stability in aqueous solution. However, S-LC-SMPT -mediated Fab-RTA, sterically hindered, showed an enhanced disulfide bond stability in vitro over S-LC-SPDP mediated one. In the cytotoxicity against antigenic cell Daudi, the S-LC-SMPT -mediated RTA immunotoxin maintained a comparable cytotoxicity, compared with S-LC-SPDP mediated Fab-RTA immunotoxin.

As one of the most common failure types of arch bridges, stability is one of the critical aspects for the design of arch bridges. Using 3D finite element model in ABAQUS, this paper has studied the stability performance of an arch bridge with inclined arch ribs and hangers, and the analysis also took the effects of geometrical and material nonlinearity into account. The impact of local buckling and residual stress of steel plates on global stability and the applicability of fiber model in stability analysis for steel arch bridges were also investigated. The results demonstrate an excellent stability of the arch bridge because of the transverse constraint provided by transversely-inclined hangers. The distortion of cross section, local buckling and residual stress of ribs has an insignificant effect on the stability of the structure, and the accurate ultimate strength may be obtained from a fiber model analysis. This study also shows that the yielding of the arch ribs has a significant impact on the ultimate capacity of the structure, and the bearing capacity may also be approximately estimated by the initial yield strength of the arch rib.

Objective: This experiment was studied the effects of various levels of crude glycerin (CG) in dairy goat diet on daily intake, milk yield, milk composition, some physical properties and some quality changes of goat milk after sterilization. Methods: Twelve 75% Saanen dairy goats (body weight = $49{\pm}3kg$; days in milk = $60{\pm}12d$) were randomly assigned in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of three experimental diets consisting of 0%, 5%, and 10% CG (dry matter basis) which were formulated to meet or exceed the nutrient requirements of goats. Experimental dairy goats were evaluated for feed and milk yield. Milk samples were analyzed for their composition, including fatty acids, casein profile, fat globule size, and color, and were sterilized to evaluate milk heat stability. Results: There were no significant differences between 0% and 5% CG treatments infeed. Increasing CG supplementation from 0% to 5% increased milk yield from $2.38{\pm}0.12$ to $2.64{\pm}0.23kg/goat/d$. In addition, milk samples from 5% CG treatment had the highest total solids, fat content and lactose content, and largest fat globule size. Increasing CG to 10% resulted in a decrease in milk fat. After sterilizing at $116^{\circ}C$, $F_0=3min$, goat milk samples from 5% CG treatment had slightly higher sediment content and comparatively higher degree of browning. Conclusion: Considering milk yield, milk fat content and quality of sterilized milk, 5% CG supplementation in a total mixed ration has a potential for implementation in dairy goats.

A fundamental limitation of steel structures is the decrease in their load-bearing capacity at high temperatures in fire situations such that structural members may require some additional treatment for fire resistance. In this regard, this paper evaluates the structural stability of fire-resistant steel, introduced in the late 1999s, through tensile coupon tests and proposes some experimental equations for the yield stress, the elastic modulus, and specific heat. The surface temperature, deflection, and maximum stress of fire-resistant steel H-section columns were calculated using their own mechanical and thermal properties. According to a comparison of mechanical properties between fire-resistant steel and Eurocode 3, the former outperformed the latter, and based on a comparison of structural performance between fire-resistant steel and ordinary structural steel of equivalent mechanical properties at room temperature, the former had greater structural stability than the latter through $900^{\circ}C$.

The VDC(Vehicle Dynamic Control) is a control system whose target is to improve stability of a vehicle under lateral motion. A lateral vehicle motion, especially on a slippery road, can lead to a hazardous situation, and the situation can even worsen by the driver`s inappropriate response. In this paper, two VDC systems, a fuzzy-based controller and an LQR-based controller have been developed. The controllers take as input the yaw rate and the sideslip angle of either body or rear wheel, and they yield the direct yaw moment signal by which the vehicle can gain stability during cornering. Simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the control system. The results indicated that the controllers can successfully improve vehicle stability under potentially dangerous driving conditions.
