It is well known that ascorbic acid (VC) is an important factor for several physiological reactions. In the skin, VC works as an anti-aging agent due to removing of oxidative stress generated by UV irradiation and stimulation of collagen synthesis. Thus, developing more effective VC derivatives is an important issue in creating anti-aging skin care products. Our study succeeded to develop a novel ascorbic acid derivative, ascorbic acid tetra-2-hexyldecanoate (VC-IP), which is a lipid-soluble pro-VC. The purpose of this study was to indicate the effects of VC-IP as pro-VC and anti-aging agent. First, it was examined whether VC-IP is converted to VC in physiological conditions. Since VC was detected from the cell extracts treated with VC-IP, it was indicated that VC-IP is a pro- VC.(omiited)

Nano-sized PtRu-Ni/VC and PtRu-Sn/VC electrocatalysts were synthesized by a one-step radiation-induced reduction (RIR) (30 kGy) process using distilled water as the solvent and Vulcan XC-72 as the supporting material. The obtained electrocatalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope energy dispersive spectroscopic (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The catalytic efficiency of electrocatalysts was examined for oxygen reduction, MeOH oxidation and CO stripping decreased in the following order, Hydrogen stripping : PtRu-Sn/VC > PtRu-Ni/VC > PtRu/VC$^{(R)}$ (E-TEK). MeOH oxidation : PtRu-Sn/VC > PtRu-Ni/VC > PtRu/ VC$^{(R)}$ (E-TEK). Unit cell performance : PtRu-Sn/VC > PtRu-Ni/VC > PtRu/VC$^{(R)}$ (E-TEK) catalysts.

In the SONET/SDH based ASON, one VC3 connection contains 21 VC12 calls. Hence, it can serve up to 21 VC12 calls. When a new VC12 call arrives, if there exists at least one available VC3 connection in the network, that VC12 call is severed immediately. However, if there is no available VC3 connection, that VC12 call has to wait a certain time, called setup latency, for the a new VC3 connection to be established. This is inconvenient for the customers. On the other hand, if there are more VC3 connections than the network requires, this can waste network resources. In this paper, we proposed the solution for these problems. In order to reduce the number of VC12 calls which have to wait, we setup a new VC3 before all VC12 time slots are occupied. Furthermore, to avoid the waste of the network resources, we do not establish all VC3 connections at the same time, but do establish step by step.

Domestic animals, including ruminants, can synthesize vitamin C (VC) in their liver; as such, the dietary requirement for VC has not been confirmed in these animals. The adequacy of VC has been evaluated by quantifying VC levels in plasma, but the reported values in bovine plasma have been widely variable. Plasma VC concentration is decreased by heat stress, hepatic lesions, fattening, and infectious diseases such as mastitis in cattle. Therefore, VC supplementation is potentially beneficial for cattle with low plasma VC concentration. This review discusses the methods for determination of plasma VC concentration in cattle, VC nutrition, and the efficacy of VC supplementation in calves, dairy cattle, and beef cattle. Additionally I propose a reference range for plasma VC concentration in Japanese Black cattle.

The prevention of D-Dos Attack requires to install filters at As border routers. This follows that finding minimum number of filters - VC(Vertex Cover), which is NP-complete problem. So, We propose improved 'Approximate VC' which is more efficient to real AS topology using topology property. Simulation shows that our algorithm, improved 'Approximated VC' enables us to reduce 25% VC nodes in comparison with 'Approximated VC'.

We review two specific risk management strategies of venture capitalists (VCs): deal syndication and domain specialization with respect to their explicit role in adjudging and managing the overall magnitude of information asymmetry risks. These are analyzed for three distinct categories of VC firms as classified by their funding stage focus (early vs. late), ownership type (foreign vs. domestic) and the human capital composition of the core VC team (entrepreneurial vs. investor). The analysis is based on both secondary data and primary data for active 72 VC firms in India. Syndication is moderately important for entrepreneurial VC firms, but not at all important for early-stage focused and foreign VC firms. This finding is distinctly different from what has been conventionally observed in the literature. Among the various arenas of domain specialization, high-technology focus is important for all segments of VC firms. In the context of investment-stage focus, foreign VC firms exhibit growth-stage specialization, while entrepreneurial VC firms concentrate on earlier investment stages.

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a known human carcinogen, and it is released to multi-environmental media via several exposure routes. VC was potentially evaluated as a water quality pollutant based on human health risk assessment in Korean water environments. In this study, we investigated physicochemical and toxicological properties of VC, human health and ecological risk assessment, and the regulation of VC as a water quality pollutant in developed countries. Currently there are no standard or guideline values of VC in Korean legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem, except that it is designated as a specific toxic substance and a water quality pollutant. Human health risk assessment of VC was previously performed based on the limited water quality monitoring data. The monitoring level of VC in Korean water system is more higher than other countries'. VC was assessed as potential hazardous chemical based on the US EPA's cancer risk assessment. There were a few ecotoxicity data of VC available using very limited kinds of aquatic organisms, and the toxicity results obtained seem to be overestimated without considering the losses of VC in open exposure system. Therefore it is needed to monitor the VC in various areas and to carry out the ecotoxicity research using multi-level organisms. We expect that these results can be useful information for implementing VC as a water quality pollutant in legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem in near future.

Distributed Denial of Service(D-DoS) 공격을 차단하기 위해서는 AS(Autonomous System) 경계 라우터에 필터를 설치하는 것이 필요하다. 필터가 설치되는 라우터의 개수를 최소로 하는 Vertex Cover(VC)--모든 edge를 커버하는 Vertex의 모임--을 찾아내는 방법은 NP-complete 문제가 된다. 따라서 Vertex Cover(VC) 근사기법 중에서 Greedy 알고리즘과 Approximated VC 알고리즘에 대해 Vertex Cover(VC)을 찾아내는 방법을 적용하여 실험하였다. Vertex Cover(VC)를 찾을 경우 Worst case에서 이론상 VC수의 최대 2배의 Vertex Cover(VC)를 찾아낼 수 있는 Approximated VC 알고리즘의 장점과 적은 수의 Vertex Cover(VC)로 모든 edge를 커버할 수 있는 Greedy 알고리즘［7］의 장점을 모두 갖춘 Vertex Cover(VC) 근사 기법을 구현하였다. NS-2를 이용한 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 Greedy 알고리즘보다 Vertex Cover를 찾아가는 단계 수에 따른 커버되는 층 노드 수를 비교하였을 때. 전체 노드의 75%를 커버하는데 24번의 단계가 필요하여 Greedy 알고리즘의 40개 보다 40%의 단계의 수적인 감소가 일어났으며 전체노드의 90%를 커버하는데 38%의 단계 개수의 감소가 일어났다. 실험으로 제안된 알고리즘이 Vertex Cover(VC) 톨 찾아가는 단계 측면에서 좀더 빠르게 AS 경계 라우터에 필터를 설치하여 D-DoS에 효율적으로 대처해 나갈 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

VC merging involves distinguishing cells from an identical merged VC label. Various approaches have been proposed to help this identification process. However, most of them incur additional buffering, protocol overhead and/or variable delay. They make the provision of QoS difficult to achieve. So it was proposed a merge capable scheduler to support VC-merging (VCMS). However, in situations where all VCs are to be merged or the incoming traffic load is very low, it could happen that there are not enough non-merging cells to snoop. In this situation the scheduler uses special control cells to fill the empty time slots out. Too many control cells can cause high cell loss ratio and an additional packet transfer delay. To overcome the drawbacks, we propose a Sequence Skipping(SS) method where the sequencers skip the empty queues and insert SS cells. We show SS method is suitable for VC-merging and can reduce the cell loss ratio and the mean packet transfer delay through simulations.
