The Quality Control Assessment of Commercially Available Coenzyme Q10-Containing Dietary and Health Supplements in Japan
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been widely commercially available in Japan as a dietary and health supplement since 2001 and is used for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases induced by free radicals and aging. We evaluated CoQ10 supplements to ensure that these supplements can be used effectively and safely. Commercially available products were selected and assessed by the quality control tests specified in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia XV. When the disintegration time of CoQ10 supplements was measured, a few tested supplements did not completely disintegrate even after incubation in water for an hour at 37°C. In the content test, many samples were well controlled. However, a few supplements showed low recovery rates of CoQ10 as compared to manufacturer’s indicated contents. Among soft capsule and liquid supplements, the reduced form of CoQ10 (H2CoQ10), as well as the oxidized form, was detected by HPLC with electrochemical detector. The results for experimental formulated CoQ10 supplements demonstrated that H2CoQ10 was produced by the interaction of CoQ10 with vitamins E and/or C. From these results, we concluded that quality varied considerably among the many supplement brands containing CoQ10. Additionally, we also demonstrated that H2CoQ10 can be detected in some foods as well as in CoQ10 supplements

Wireless acoustic emission systems
The development of both commercial and research driven wireless Acoustic Emission (AE) devices has increased in recent years. These have the potential to substantially improve the ease at which AE can be monitored, and so reduce the cost of doing so. Monitoring AE wirelessly has significant differences to other Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) applications; this chapter gives some key challenges faced and an overview of available systems. The development and testing of a state-of-the-art, low power, device for AE monitoring of bridges is also presented. Testing showed this device to be capable of continuous monitoring of a bridge structure, utilizing photovoltaic energy harvesting and novel power saving approaches
