Selenium was originally developed by Jason Huggins in 2004 as an internal tool at ThoughtWorks. [5] Huggins was later joined by other programmers and testers at ThoughtWorks, before Paul Hammant joined the team and steered the development of the second mode of operation that would later become "Selenium Remote Control" (RC).
Stack buffer overflow is a type of the more general programming malfunction known as buffer overflow (or buffer overrun). [1] Overfilling a buffer on the stack is more likely to derail program execution than overfilling a buffer on the heap because the stack contains the return addresses for all active function calls.
The thyroid gland and every cell that uses thyroid hormone also use selenium, [117] which is a cofactor for the three of the four known types of thyroid hormone deiodinases, which activate and then deactivate various thyroid hormones and their metabolites; the iodothyronine deiodinases are the subfamily of deiodinase enzymes that use selenium ...
An 8-plate 160 V 450 mA Federal brand selenium rectifier. A selenium rectifier is a type of metal rectifier, invented in 1933. [1] They were used in power supplies for electronic equipment and in high-current battery-charger applications until they were superseded by silicon diode rectifiers in the late 1960s.
[1] [2] [3] Selenium belongs with oxygen and sulfur to the group 16 elements or chalcogens, and similarities in chemistry are to be expected. Organoselenium compounds are found at trace levels in ambient waters, soils and sediments. [4] Selenium can exist with oxidation state −2, +2, +4, +6. Se(II) is the dominant form in organoselenium ...
More selenium rich iron selenide phases are the γ phases (γ and γˈ), assigned the Fe 3 Se 4 stoichiometry, and FeSe 2, which occurs as the marcasite-structure natural mineral ferroselite, or the rare pyrite-structure mineral dzharkenite. It is used in electrical semiconductors. [citation needed]
Selenium tetrafluoride (Se F 4) is an inorganic compound.It is a colourless liquid that reacts readily with water. It can be used as a fluorinating reagent in organic syntheses (fluorination of alcohols, carboxylic acids or carbonyl compounds) and has advantages over sulfur tetrafluoride in that milder conditions can be employed and it is a liquid rather than a gas.
Selenium is a component of the amino acids selenocysteine and selenomethionine. In humans, selenium is a trace element nutrient that functions as cofactor for glutathione peroxidases and certain forms of thioredoxin reductase. [1] Selenium-containing proteins are produced from inorganic selenium via the intermediacy of selenophosphate (PSeO 3 3 ...
