  3. Phosphatidylcholine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylcholine

    1-Oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholines (PC) are a class of phospholipids that incorporate choline as a headgroup.They are a major component of biological membranes and can easily be obtained from a variety of readily available sources, such as egg yolk or soybeans, from which they are mechanically or chemically extracted using hexane.

  4. Functionality (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionality_(Chemistry)

    In organic chemistry, functionality is often used as a synonym for functional group. For example, a hydroxyl group can also be called a HO-function. [1] [2] Functionalisation means the introduction of functional groups, for example the functionalisation of a surface [3] (e.g. silanization for the specific modification of the adhesion of a surface)

    The TlsGetValue and TlsSetValue functions are then used to read and write a memory address to a thread-local variable identified by the TLS slot index. TlsSetValue only affects the variable for the current thread. The TlsFree function can be called to release the TLS slot index. There is a Win32 Thread Information Block for each thread.

  6. Monitor (synchronization) - Wikipedia

    Another definition of monitor is a thread-safe class, object, or module that wraps around a mutex in order to safely allow access to a method or variable by more than one thread. The defining characteristic of a monitor is that its methods are executed with mutual exclusion : At each point in time, at most one thread may be executing any of its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophosphate

    In chemistry, pyrophosphates are phosphorus oxyanions that contain two phosphorus atoms in a P−O−P linkage. A number of pyrophosphate salts exist, such as disodium pyrophosphate (Na 2 H 2 P 2 O 7) and tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na 4 P 2 O 7), among others. Often pyrophosphates are called diphosphates.
