  2. Angiotensin II receptor blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin_II_receptor...

    Losartan, the first ARB. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), formally angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT 1) antagonists, [1] also known as angiotensin receptor blockers, [2] [3] angiotensin II receptor antagonists, or AT 1 receptor antagonists, are a group of pharmaceuticals that bind to and inhibit the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT 1) and thereby block the arteriolar contraction and ...

  3. Angiotensin-converting enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin-converting_enzyme

    Angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1), or ACE, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Therefore, ACE indirectly increases blood pressure by causing blood ...

  4. Discovery and development of angiotensin receptor blockers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    The angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), also called angiotensin (AT1) receptor antagonists or sartans, are a group of antihypertensive drugs that act by blocking the effects of the hormone angiotensin II (Ang II) in the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. Their structure is similar to Ang II and they bind to Ang II receptors as inhibitors ...

  5. Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Microcontroller...

    The Arm Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) is an open-standard, on-chip interconnect specification for the connection and management of functional blocks in system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. It facilitates development of multi-processor designs with large numbers of controllers and components with a bus architecture.

  6. Arbitrary code execution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code_execution

    In computer security, arbitrary code execution (ACE) is an attacker's ability to run any commands or code of the attacker's choice on a target machine or in a target process. [1] An arbitrary code execution vulnerability is a security flaw in software or hardware allowing arbitrary code execution. A program that is designed to exploit such a ...

    The consortium was announced on the 9th of April 1991 by Compaq, Microsoft, MIPS Computer Systems, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO). [1] [2] Although the consortium's definition of the Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) specification, indicating the details of an "open and scalable" hardware platform based on the MIPS architecture, [3]: 30 was a significant ...

  8. ACE inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_inhibitor

    ACE inhibitors were initially approved for the treatment of hypertension and can be used alone or in combination with other anti-hypertensive medications. Later, they were found useful for other cardiovascular and kidney diseases [4] including: Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) [5] Heart failure (left ventricular systolic dysfunction) [6]

  9. Adaptation (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(computer_science)

    Adaptation (computer science) Adaptation in computer science is a process where an interactive system (adaptive system) adapts its behaviour to individual users based on information acquired about its user (s) and its environment. Adaptation is one of the three pillars of empiricism in Scrum. [1]
