Q: What are some street names for Phencyclidine?
A: Phencyclidine, also known as PCP, has several street names including angel dust, supergrass, killer weed, sherm, embalming fluid, and rocket fuel.
Q: What is the PCP theorem?
A: The PCP theorem is an important proof in computational complexity theory that states that every decision problem in the NP complexity class can be reduced to a problem that can be verified in polynomial time with high probability.
Q: What is a Probabilistically checkable proof?
A: A Probabilistically checkable proof is a notion in the theory of computational complexity that allows for verifying the solution to a problem with a high degree of probability without having to check all of the potential solutions.
Q: What is Pentachlorophenol used for?
A: Pentachlorophenol is a timber preservative that is used to protect wood and wood products from decay and insect damage.
Q: What is Pneumocystis pneumonia?
A: Pneumocystis pneumonia is a type of pneumonia caused by the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii. It was previously known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and is often associated with immune system suppression, such as in people with HIV/AIDS.
