History

Alazocine

Alazocine ((-)-SKF-10,047), or (-)-N-allylnormetazocine ((-)-ANMC), was the first drug discovered to act as a σ₁ receptor agonist (K_i = 24 nM). It has no significant affinity for the σ₂ receptor. Alazocine also acts as a κ-opioid receptor agonist (K_i = 0.4 nM), and to a much lesser extent, as an NMDA receptor antagonist (K_i = 587 nM).

Generator (category theory)

In category theory in mathematics a family of generators (or family of separators) of a category is a collection of objects, indexed by some set I, such that for any two morphisms in , if then there is some i∈I and morphism , such that the compositions . If the family consists of a single object G, we say it is a generator (or separator).

Generators are central to the definition of Grothendieck categories.

The dual concept is called a cogenerator or coseparator.

Examples

In the category of abelian groups, the group of integers is a generator: If f and g are different, then there is an element , such that . Hence the map suffices.

Generator (Foo Fighters song)

"Generator" is a Foo Fighters song, released as a single in 2000 from their third album There Is Nothing Left to Lose. The single was only released in Australia and also released as a limited edition single in Europe.

The song is particularly unique among the band's work because of Dave Grohl's implementation of the talk box in parts of the song. The usage of the device was partly inspired by Grohl's admiration of Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh, both of whom helped popularize it in the 1970s.
