In this paper, we investigate the extensions of generalized stable rings. It is shown that a ring R is a generalized stable ring if and only if R has a complete orthogonal set {e$_1$, . . . , e$_n$} of idempotents such that e$_1$Re$_1$, . . . , e$_n$Re$_n$ are generalized stable rings. Also, we prove that a ring R is a generalized stable ring if and only if R[[X]] is a generalized stable ring if and only if T(R,M) is a generalized stable ring.

Compliant bi-stable mechanism allows two stable states within its operation range staying at one of the local minimum states of the potential energy. Energy storage characteristics of the bi-stable mechanism offer two distinct and repeatable stable states, which require no power input to maintain it at each stable state. This paper suggests an equivalent model of the chevron-type bi-stable microactuator using the equivalent spring stiffness in the rectilinear and the rotational directions. From this model the range of spring stiffness where the bi-stable mechanism can be operated is analyzed and compared with the results of the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) using ANSYS for the buckling analysis, both of which show a good agreement. Based on the analysis, a newly designed chevron-type bi-stable MEMS actuator using hinges is suggested for the latch-up operation. It is found that the experimental response characteristics of around 36V for the bi-stable actuation for the 60$mu extrm{m}$ stroke correspond very well to the results of the equivalent model analysis after the change in cross-sectional area by the fabrication process is taken into account. Together with the resonance frequency experiment where 1760Hz is measured, it is shown that the chevron-type bi-stable MEMS actuator using hinges is applicable to the optical switch as an actuator.

Let $R{\subseteq}T$ be an extension of integral domains, X be an indeterminate over T, and R[X] and T[X] be polynomial rings. Then $R{\subseteq}T$ is said to be LCM-stable if $(aR{\cap}bR)T=aT{\cap}bT$ for all $0{\neq}a,b{\in}R$. Let $w_A$ be the so-called $w$-operation on an integral domain A. In this paper, we introduce the notions of $w(e)$- and $w$-LCM-stable extensions: (i) $R{\subseteq}T$ is $w(e)$-LCM-stable if $((aR{\cap}bR)T)_{w_T}=aT{\cap}bT$ for all $0{\neq}a,b{\in}R$ and (ii) $R{\subseteq}T$ is $w$-LCM-stable if $((aR{\cap}bR)T)_{w_R}=(aT{\cap}bT)_{w_R}$ for all $0{\neq}a,b{\in}R$. We prove that LCM-stable extensions are both $w(e)$-LCM-stable and $w$-LCM-stable. We also generalize some results on LCM-stable extensions. Among other things, we show that if R is a Krull domain (resp., $P{\upsilon}MD$), then $R{\subseteq}T$ is $w(e)$-LCM-stable (resp., $w$-LCM-stable) if and only if $R[X]{\subseteq}T[X]$ is $w(e)$-LCM-stable (resp., $w$-LCM-stable).

Images and inverse images of (almost) stable cubic sets are discussed. We show that the image and inverse image of stable cubic sets are also stable. Conditions for the image of almost cubic sets to be an almost cubic set are provided. The complement, the P-union and the P-intersection of (inverse) images of (almost) stable cubic sets are considered.

Stable range of rings is a unifying concept for problems related to the substitution and cancellation of modules. The newly appeared element-wise setting for the simplest case of stable range one is tempting to study the lifting property modulo ideals. We study the lifting of elements having (idempotent) stable range one from a quotient of a ring R modulo a two-sided ideal I by providing several examples and investigating the relations with other lifting properties, including lifting idempotents, lifting units, and lifting of von Neumann regular elements. In the case where the ring R is a left or a right duo ring, we show that stable range one elements lift modulo every two-sided ideal if and only if R is a ring with stable range one. Under a mild assumption, we further prove that the lifting of elements having idempotent stable range one implies the lifting of von Neumann regular elements.

Bi-stable structure can be stable in both its extended and coiled forms. For the un-stressed thin cylindrical shell, the strain energy expressions are deduced by using a theoretical model in terms of only two parameters. Based on the principle of minimum potential energy, the bi-stable behaviors of the cylindrical shells are investigated. The results indicate that the isotropic cylindrical shell does not have the second stable configuration and laminated cylindrical shells with symmetric or antisymmetric layup of fibers have the second stable state under some confined conditions. In the case of antisymmetric laminated cylindrical shell, the analytical expressions of the stability are derived based on the extremal principle, and the shell can achieve a compact coiled configuration without twist deformation in its second stable state. In the case of symmetric laminated cylindrical shell, the explicit solutions for the stability conditions cannot be deduced. Numerical results show that stable configuration of symmetric shell is difficult to achieve and symmetric shell has twist deformation in its second stable form. In addition, the roll-up radii of the antisymmetric laminated cylindrical shells are calculated using the finite element package ABAQUS. The results show that the value of the roll-up radii is larger from FE simulation than from theoretical analysis. By and large, the predicted roll-up radii of the cylindrical shells using ABAQUS agree well with the theoretical results.

We estimate the stable rank, connected stable rank and general stable rank of the multiplier algebras of $C^{＊}$-algebras under some conditions and prove that the ranks of them are infinite. Moreover, we show that for any $\sigma$-unital subhomogeneous $C^{＊}$-algebra, its stable rank is equal to that of its multiplier algebra.

Let f be a diffeomorphisms of a compact $C^{\infty}$ manifold, and let p be a hyperbolic periodic point of f. In this paper, we prove that if generically, f is tame diffeomorphims then the following conditions are equivalent: (i) f is ${\Omega}$-stable, (ii) f has the $C^1$-stable shadowing property (iii) f has the $C^1$-stable inverse shadowing property.

We study the geometry of the moduli space of elliptic stable maps to projective space. The main component of the moduli space of elliptic stable maps is singular. There are two different ways to desingularize this space. One is Vakil-Zinger's desingularization and the other is via the moduli space of logarithmic stable maps. Our main result is a proof of the direct geometric relationship between these two spaces. For degree less than or equal to 3, we prove that the moduli space of logarithmic stable maps can be obtained by blowing up Vakil-Zinger's desingularization.

The horse stable hand workers are one of the most important occupations in horse-racing industry. However, suicide problem of the horse stable hand workers in Korea has raised the necessity of new study on how these workers experience mental health problems such as occupational stress and depression in organizational situation. Therefore, this study investigated the occupational stress and depression level of the horse stable hand workers and identified the structural relationship in the horse-racing industry through a detailed interview. A total of 207 horse stable hand workers participated in this study, and occupational stress and depression level were surveyed using the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) and Korean version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). The results of this study showed that the occupational stress level of horse stable hand workers was higher than the median of Korean population. The significant difference in occupational stress among the detail job grade was also identified. In addition, 34% of the horse stable hand workers showed high risk of depression, and job demand, organizational system, and inappropriate compensation as the subfactors of occupational stress were showed to mainly affect depression. Although there are some limitations according to the field survey, this study also has significant meaning in that it identifies the relationship between the occupational characteristics of the horse stable hand workers and the mental health. It will be necessary to study the diverse organizational situation and individual mental health for new occupations.
