Power-on Self Test (POST) is the common term for a computer's pre-boot sequence. Though the same basic sequence is present on all computer architectures, it may go by different names such as IPL, booting, or bootstrapping. The term POST, however, has become popular in association with and as a result of the proliferation of the PC. It can be used as a noun when referring to the code (computer programming) that controls the pre-boot phase or when referring to the phase itself. ...

| postmitotic |
The G0 phase (G zero) is a period in the cell cycle where cells exist in a quiescent state. Cells enter the G0 phase from a G1 phase checkpoint, such as the restriction point (animal cells) or the start point (yeast) usually in response to a lack of growth factors or nutrients. During the G0 phase, the cell-cycle machinery is dismantled and cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases disappear. Some cells remain in the G0 phase until there is a reason for them to divide. ...
