Object-relational impedance mismatch | Encapsulation & Accessibility & Interface, class, inheritance and polymorphism | encapsulation of the object, since many object-relational mappers automatically generate public fields corresponding to database columns. Accessibility In relational thinking, "private" versus "public" access is relative to need. In the object-oriented (OO) model it is an absolute characteristic of the data's state. The relational and OO models often have conflicts over relativity versus absolutism of classifications and characteristics. Interface, class, inheritance and polymorphism Under an object-oriented paradigm, objects have interfaces that together provide the only access to the internals of that object. The relational model, on the other hand, utilizes derived relation variables (views) to provide varying perspectives and constraints |

The smell has been described as similar to strong human body odor, goats, or some cheeses. The odor is generated by a patch of skin called the rosette, on the lower back where modified quills serve as osmetrichia to broadcast the smell. The characteristic odor comes from the R-enantiomer of delta-decalactone. Not present is the S-enantiomer which smells like coconut and is used in flavorings and perfumes.

Osteoblast | Osteoblasts | the major cellular component of bone. Osteoblasts arise from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). MSC give rise to osteoblasts, adipocytes, and myocytes among other cell types. Osteoblast quantity is understood to be inversely proportional to that of marrow adipocytes which comprise marrow adipose tissue (MAT). Osteoblasts are found in large numbers in the periosteum, the thin connective tissue layer on the outside surface of bones, and in the endosteum.
Normally, almost all of the bone matrix, in the air breathing vertebrates, is mineralized by the osteoblasts. Before the organic matrix is mineralized, it is called the osteoid. Osteoblasts buried in the matrix |
