Protocol Control: Protocol Control is a mechanism which a given application protocol may employ to determine or control the performance and health of the application. Example, protocol liveness may require that protocol control information be sent at some minimum rate; some applications may become intolerable to users if they are unable to send at least at some minimum rate. For such applications, the concept of MCR is defined. Refer to MCR.

Personal Computer

PC - The Personal Computer - what this Glossary is all about. Quite Simply a computer designed to be used by one person at a time.

A Personal Computer that is compatible with the IBM desktop computers. PCs that are not manufactured by IBM Corporation are typically referred to as "clones." Generally, programs written on any PC will play on another PC. Most PC users now run under Microsoft DOS or Microsoft Windows operating systems. Newer and more advanced processors include OS/2 from IBM and Windows 2000 from Microsoft Corporation. Programs written on a Mac operating system will not usually run on a PC. Differences between Mac and PC computers have led to constant frustrations for authors since there is no single standard for authoring materials that can be used across the computer market. This is especially frustrating for authors of CD-ROM learning and entertainment materials. PC computers using the early Intel 8088 processor were called XT models. The XT's gave way to the AT models containing the 80286 or higher level Intel processors. Now the model names usually contain the processor specifications such as Intel 386, 486, and Pentium designations. The top-rated PCs at the end of 1994 are Dell Dimension (Rank 1), Micron PCI (Rank 2), Gateway P% (Rank 3), and IBM ValuPoint (Rank 4) according to PC Computing, December 1994, p. 126. Two pages later, that same magazine ranks the best-buys in portables as TravelMate 4000M from Texas Instruments (Rank 1), Latitude XP from Dell (Rank 2), and ThinkPad755C from IBM (Rank 3). (See also Bus , Amiga , Mac , SGI , SUN , and PowerPC )

In computer terms it means a Personal Computer as in IBM-PC

Although PC is usually taken to mean personal computer, in the biomedical arena PC also stands for protein C, phosphocreatinine, et al.

P_c - The plasma concentration of a drug at the mid-point of a particular time interval. Specifically, in computation of renal clearance, the plasma concentration at the mid-point of the time period over which urine was collected. For example, when urine was collected over the time interval (t - t'), P_c is determined at (t - t')/2 and Cl_R = A_U/P_c (t - t').
