    chemistry (Proportion of "active" molecules or atoms) Arrhenius number = Svante Arrhenius: chemistry (ratio of activation energy to thermal energy) [1] Atomic weight: M: chemistry (mass of one atom divided by the atomic mass constant, 1 Da) Bodenstein number: Bo or Bd

  4. Omega-3 fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid

    The omega (ω) end of the chain is at carbon 18, and the double bond closest to the omega carbon begins at carbon 15 = 18−3. Hence, ALA is a ω−3 fatty acid with ω = 18. The terms ω−3 ("omega−3") fatty acid and n−3 fatty acid are derived from the nomenclature of organic chemistry.

    Intake of large doses (2.0 to 4.0 g/day) of long-chain omega−3 fatty acids as prescription drugs or dietary supplements are generally required to achieve significant (> 15%) lowering of triglycerides, and at those doses the effects can be significant (from 20% to 35% and even up to 45% in individuals with levels greater than 500 mg/dL).

    Tipler identifies the Omega Point with God, since, in his view, the Omega Point has all the properties of God claimed by most traditional religions. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Tipler's argument of the Omega Point being required by the laws of physics is a more recent development that arose after the publication of his 1994 book The Physics of Immortality .

    It is a subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), [2] and has a morphology resembling the Greek capital letter Omega (Ω). Omegasomes are the sites from which phagophores (also called "isolation membranes") form, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] which are sack-like structures that mature into autophagosomes , and fuse with lysosomes in order to degrade the ...
