    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromochlorodifluoromethane

    Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]

    [15] k 1 is the rate constant for chemical uptake from water at the respiratory surface (L*kg −1 *d −1). [15] C WD is the chemical concentration dissolved in water (g*L −1 ). [ 15 ] k 2 ,k E ,k G ,k B are rate constants that represent excretion from the organism from the respiratory surface, fecal excretion, metabolic transformation, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane

    Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...

  6. Variant Call Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_Call_Format

    The Variant Call Format or VCF is a standard text file format used in bioinformatics for storing gene sequence variations. The format was developed in 2010 for the 1000 Genomes Project and has since been used by other large-scale genotyping and DNA sequencing projects. [1][2] VCF is a common output format for variant calling programs due to its ...

    The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) is a system to differentiate drugs on the basis of their solubility and permeability. [1] This system restricts the prediction using the parameters solubility and intestinal permeability. The solubility classification is based on a United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) aperture.

  9. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    The decay constant, λ "lambda", the reciprocal of the mean lifetime (in s −1), sometimes referred to as simply decay rate. The mean lifetime, τ "tau", the average lifetime (1/e life) of a radioactive particle before decay. Although these are constants, they are associated with the statistical behavior of populations of atoms. In consequence ...
