  2. Pentachlorophenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentachlorophenol

    Pentachlorophenol ( PCP) is an organochlorine compound used as a pesticide and a disinfectant. First produced in the 1930s, it is marketed under many trade names. [5] It can be found as pure PCP, or as the sodium salt of PCP, the latter of which dissolves easily in water. It can be biodegraded by some bacteria, including Sphingobium ...

    Motor Trend stated: " Fiorano 's downhill front straight was the only place we were allowed to do acceleration runs, and we couldn't run backward for a two-way average. The data shows the fastest quarter-mile run declining by 18.2 feet from start to finish, or 1.4%.

  4. Phencyclidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine

    Phencyclidine or phenylcyclohexyl piperidine ( PCP ), also known in its use as a street drug as angel dust among other names, is a dissociative anesthetic mainly used recreationally for its significant mind-altering effects. [1] [5] PCP may cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions of sounds, and violent behavior.

  5. Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method - Wikipedia

    The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method ( DLS) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculate the target score (number of runs needed to win) for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstances. The method was devised by two English statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, and was ...

  6. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    Thermodynamics. In thermodynamics, the compressibility factor ( Z ), also known as the compression factor or the gas deviation factor, describes the deviation of a real gas from ideal gas behaviour. It is simply defined as the ratio of the molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure.

  8. PCP theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCP_theorem

    The PCP theorem is the cornerstone of the theory of computational hardness of approximation, which investigates the inherent difficulty in designing efficient approximation algorithms for various optimization problems. It has been described by Ingo Wegener as "the most important result in complexity theory since Cook's theorem " [1] and by Oded ...

  9. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia
