Pet (disambiguation)

Pet is an English noun denoting a domesticated animal, such as a dog, cat, or bird, kept primarily for companionship, amusement, or pleasure rather than for practical utility like work, food, or research.^[1]^[2]^[3] The word originated in the 16th-century Scottish dialect, initially referring to an indulged child or favored domestic animal, and later extended to senses including a term of endearment for a cherished person or the verb "to pet," meaning to stroke or caress gently.^[4]^[1] In broader usage, "pet" or "PET" appears in proper names (e.g., the band Pet Shop Boys), acronyms (e.g., positron emission tomography in medicine), and other contexts like geology or slang for sulking moods, distinguishing it from its core zoological connotation.^[1]^[2]

Technical and scientific uses

Medicine

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that utilizes positron-emitting radioactive tracers to visualize and quantify metabolic processes in the body, enabling detection of pathological changes at a cellular level.^[5] Introduced in the early 1970s through pioneering work on tomographic reconstruction of positron emissions, the first human PET images were produced in 1972, with initial clinical scanners like the PETT I developed by 1973.^[6] By the 1990s, advancements in radiotracers such as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and hybrid PET/CT systems facilitated widespread clinical adoption, surpassing standalone anatomical imaging modalities like CT or MRI in sensitivity for functional abnormalities.^[7] In oncology, PET excels in staging, restaging, and response assessment for cancers including lung, lymphoma, and colorectal malignancies, where FDG-PET demonstrates superior accuracy over conventional imaging—often achieving sensitivities of 80-100% and specificities above 75% for detecting metastases—due to its ability to differentiate viable tumor tissue based on glucose metabolism.^[5] ^[8] Empirical studies confirm PET's incremental value, reducing unnecessary surgeries by identifying occult disease sites missed by structural scans. In neurology, it aids diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease via amyloid or tau tracer uptake patterns and localizes epileptic foci with hypometabolism detection, offering prognostic insights not afforded by MRI alone.^[9] For cardiology, PET assesses myocardial viability and perfusion using rubidium-82 or ammonia tracers, with viability accuracy exceeding 85% in predicting functional recovery post-revascularization, grounded in direct measurement of blood flow and oxygen utilization rather than indirect anatomical proxies.^[9] These applications underscore PET's causal emphasis on biochemical causality over mere morphology, though radiation exposure and tracer costs limit routine use.^[10]

Materials and chemistry

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a thermoplastic polyester resin, serves as a primary material in rigid packaging, single-use beverage containers, and polyester fibers for textiles.^[11] Synthesized via polycondensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate, PET exhibits key properties including high tensile strength of 55-75 MPa, optical clarity exceeding 90% light transmission in amorphous forms, low density around 1.38 g/cm³, and effective barrier characteristics against gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide.^[12]^[13] These attributes enable its widespread adoption in applications demanding durability, transparency, and lightweight construction, such as carbonated drink bottles where it maintains structural integrity under pressure.^[14] Developed in 1941 by British chemists John Rex Whinfield and James Tennant Dickson at the Calico Printers' Association through esterification of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol, PET was initially patented for fiber production before commercial scaling in the 1950s under brands like Terylene by Imperial Chemical Industries.^[15] Independent development occurred concurrently at DuPont in the United States, leading to Dacron fibers, but the British origin marks the foundational innovation for industrial PET.^[16] Global production capacity surpassed 70 million metric tons annually by the early 2020s, driven by demand in packaging (over 50% of output) and textiles, with Asia accounting for the majority due to manufacturing hubs in China and India.^[17]^[18] PET's role in single-use plastics highlights its mechanical recyclability, where sorted flakes can be reprocessed into new resin with retention of up to 90% of virgin properties after multiple cycles, outperforming many alternatives in established recycling streams.^[19] However, natural biodegradation remains negligible, with PET persisting in environments for centuries due to its stable carbon-carbon and ester bonds resistant to microbial hydrolysis under ambient conditions, necessitating engineered enzymatic or chemical depolymerization for effective breakdown into monomers like terephthalic acid.^[20]^[21] This persistence fuels debates on plastic pollution, where empirical data underscore recycling infrastructure's efficacy—evidenced by over 30% recovery rates in bottle-to-bottle systems in Europe—over unsubstantiated claims favoring outright bans, as virgin PET production requires less energy (around 20-30 MJ/kg) than many bioplastics when lifecycle emissions are assessed.^[19]^[22]

Computing and technology

The Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) was an integrated personal computer system released by Commodore Business Machines in October 1977, featuring a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor operating at 1.02 MHz, 8 KB of RAM in its initial PET 2001 configuration (with 4 KB models also available), a built-in 9-inch monochrome CRT monitor, full-stroke keyboard, and Datasette cassette drive for storage.^[23]^[24]^[25] Priced at $595 for the 8 KB version, it shipped with a Microsoft BASIC interpreter in ROM, enabling immediate programmability without additional setup, which democratized access to computing for hobbyists and small businesses.^[26]^[27] The PET's all-in-one metal-cased design addressed reliability issues in early microcomputers by minimizing external connections, and its production exceeded 100,000 units by 1978, contributing to the 1977 "Trinity" of personal computers alongside the Apple II and TRS-80 that spurred the home computing revolution through affordable, functional hardware. Subsequent models, such as the PET 4000 series introduced in May 1980, upgraded to semi-graphical displays via the 6545 CRTC chip and supported up to 32 KB RAM while retaining the 6502 CPU.^[28]^[29] Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) encompass cryptographic protocols and data management techniques that enable secure computation and analysis on sensitive datasets without exposing underlying personal information, addressing privacy risks in big data environments.^[30] Key examples include homomorphic encryption, which performs operations directly on ciphertexts to yield encrypted results matching plaintext computations, and differential privacy, which injects calibrated statistical noise into query outputs to obscure individual contributions while preserving aggregate utility.^[31]^[32] These methods, formalized in frameworks like those from the ENISA since 2019, support compliance with regulations such as the EU's GDPR by minimizing data exposure during machine learning and analytics, with adoption accelerating post-2020 amid rising concerns over data breaches affecting over 1 billion records annually.^[33]^[34] PETs differ from traditional anonymization by enabling verifiable privacy guarantees through mathematical proofs, rather than relying on post-hoc de-identification prone to re-identification attacks demonstrated in studies like the 2018 Netflix Prize dataset breach.^[35]

Organizations

Government and intelligence

The Politiets Efterretningstjeneste (PET) serves as Denmark's national security and intelligence service, operating under the Ministry of Justice to counter internal and external threats including terrorism, espionage, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, sabotage, and extremism.^[36] Established in 1939 as a specialized unit within the Danish police to monitor security risks amid rising pre-World War II tensions, PET evolved from earlier border intelligence efforts and formalized its mandate to protect democratic institutions and public safety through targeted investigations and preventive measures.^[37]^[38] Post-Cold War, PET reoriented its priorities toward emergent threats like Islamist terrorism and hybrid warfare, with legislative updates in the 1990s and 2000s enhancing its capabilities for intelligence gathering while imposing stricter judicial oversight to balance efficacy against overreach, as evidenced by successful disruptions of plots such as the 2010 Copenhagen terror case involving foreign-directed operatives.^[38] This adaptation prioritized causal linkages between identified threats and actionable interventions, yielding measurable outcomes in threat mitigation without the expansive domestic surveillance expansions seen in some peer agencies.^[36]

Companies and non-profits

Pet, Inc. was an American food manufacturing company originally founded as the Helvetia Milk Condensing Company in 1885 in Highland, Illinois, with an initial investment of $15,000 to produce condensed milk products.^[39] It became the first to commercially market evaporated milk as a shelf-stable consumer product under the PET brand, which gained prominence for its quality and reliability in early 20th-century households.^[40] By the mid-20th century, the company, then known as Pet Milk Company, expanded into diversified operations including ice milk under the Mary Lee Taylor brand in 1959 and cheese production via acquisition of Old Cherry Hill Cheese House in 1960 through its Canadian subsidiary.^[41] In 1965, it restructured and renamed to Pet, Inc. to reflect broader food lines, including eventual entry into pet foods, before its acquisition by Grand Metropolitan in 1985.^[40] PET International, incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in the late 1990s following origins in 1994, focused on developing and distributing Personal Energy Transportation (PET) devices—low-cost, hand-cranked three-wheeled mobility carts designed for individuals with lower-limb disabilities in resource-limited regions.^[42] Founded by missionary Larry Hills after observing mobility challenges in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), the organization emphasized empirical user testing to ensure devices enabled practical independence, such as navigating rough terrain without reliance on external power sources.^[43] By the early 2000s, affiliates across the U.S. had produced and shipped over 1,000 units globally, later rebranding to Mobility Worldwide while maintaining the PET cart model for its proven efficacy in promoting self-sufficiency over traditional wheelchairs.^[42]

Arts, entertainment, and media

Film and television

Pet is a 2016 American psychological thriller film directed by Carles Torrens and written by Jeremy Slater.^[44] It stars Dominic Monaghan as Seth, a lonely animal shelter worker who encounters Holly (Ksenia Solo), becomes infatuated, and eventually imprisons her in an underground cage beneath the facility after she rejects his advances.^[44] The narrative examines themes of obsession, captivity, and mutual psychological manipulation, with the roles of predator and victim blurring as hidden traits emerge in both protagonists.^[45] Jennette McCurdy co-stars as Seth's ex-girlfriend Claire.^[44] The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival on March 11, 2016, and was released theatrically in the United States on December 2, 2016, by Samuel Goldwyn Films.^[44] It garnered mixed critical reception, earning a 53% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 17 reviews, with commentators noting effective tension in the premise but faulting the execution for relying on contrived twists and underdeveloped character motivations.^[46] Roger Ebert's review awarded it 0.5 out of 4 stars, describing it as failing to sustain intrigue beyond initial setup.^[45] Audience scores averaged around 5.7/10 on IMDb from over 20,000 ratings, reflecting polarized views on its horror-thriller balance.^[44] In Japanese television, Pet (ペット) is a 2020 suspense drama series adapted from a manga by Ranjō Miyake, consisting of 10 episodes broadcast on WOWOW.^[47] It centers on three individuals recruited by a secretive organization to use their abilities to enter and alter others' memories, delving into ethical dilemmas of psychic intrusion and personal trauma.^[47] The series holds a 6.2/10 IMDb rating from user reviews, appreciated for its mind-bending concepts but critiqued for pacing inconsistencies.^[47]

Music

Pet is the debut studio album by the New Zealand alternative rock band Fur Patrol, released on September 24, 2000.^[48] Produced with a raw, introspective sound emphasizing emotional lyrics and guitar-driven arrangements, it features tracks such as "Lydia," which became the band's signature single.^[49] The album debuted at number 14 on the New Zealand Albums Chart on October 29, 2000, before peaking at number 7 the following week and remaining on the chart for 30 weeks.^[50] "Lydia" topped New Zealand airplay charts, displacing Destiny's Child's "Jumpin' Jumpin'" from number 1 and marking it as the most-played domestic song on local radio in 2000.^[49]^[51]

Literature

Pet is a 2019 young adult speculative fiction novel by Nigerian author Akwaeke Emezi, published by Make Me a World on September 10, 2019. Set in a post-revolutionary society where citizens believe all monsters—metaphors for societal evils such as abuse and injustice—have been eradicated, the story follows 15-year-old Jam, a wheelchair-using artist who summons a carnivorous creature named Pet from her mother's painting. Pet claims to hunt a surviving monster hiding in Jam's friend Redemption's home, prompting Jam to confront the persistence of concealed threats despite official narratives of perfection. The novel received critical acclaim, including a finalist nomination for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature in 2019, and praise for its exploration of hidden dangers and moral responsibility, though some reviewers noted its didactic tone in allegorizing systemic issues.^[52]^[53]^[54] Pet (ペット) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ranjō Miyake, serialized in Shogakukan's seinen magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from July 29, 2002, to October 27, 2003, and compiled into five volumes. The plot revolves around "Pets," individuals with psychic abilities to infiltrate human minds, manipulate memories, and extract information, often employed by criminal organizations or investigators to resolve mysteries, enforce retribution, or cover up crimes in a gritty underworld setting. Themes include the ethical perils of memory alteration and power imbalances in psychic enforcement, with the series emphasizing causal consequences of such abilities in real-world applications like organized crime. It inspired a 2020 anime adaptation but stands as a distinct manga work focused on psychological thriller elements.^[55]^[56] Pet is a psychological novel by New Zealand author Catherine Chidgey, first published in 2006 by Vintage New Zealand and reissued internationally by Europa Editions in 2023. Narrated through diary entries and letters, it depicts 12-year-old Justine, a motherless pupil at a Catholic school in 1980s Wellington, who becomes fixated on her charismatic teacher Mr. Tweed, amid explorations of obsession, authority, and social hierarchies including class and racial tensions. The work draws on real psychological dynamics of grooming and idealization, receiving attention for its tense portrayal of adolescent vulnerability without overt supernatural elements.^[57]

Video games and other media

In the 1998 adventure game Starship Titanic, developed by The Digital Village and featuring design contributions from Douglas Adams, the PET (Personal Electronic Thing) functions as the player's primary interface device. It enables communication with onboard robots via a Chat-O-Mat mode, inventory management for collected objects, remote control of ship devices through the Remote Thingummy, navigation via Designer Room Numbers, and access to a simulated "Real Life" mode for environmental interaction. Released on April 7, 1998, for Windows, the PET exemplifies early integration of text-based AI companions in point-and-click adventures, allowing typed inputs to generate dynamic responses from non-player characters.^[58]^[59] The Mega Man Battle Network series, beginning with the eponymous 2001 Game Boy Advance title developed by Capcom, centers the PET (PErsonal Terminal) as a core gameplay mechanic. This handheld device acts as an advanced personal digital assistant, housing the player's NetNavi partner (such as MegaMan.EXE), facilitating insertion of Battle Chips for virus combat in cyberspace, real-time email and communication functions, and jack-in capabilities to access the digital "Net" from the real world. Subsequent entries, including Mega Man Battle Network 2 (2001) and later sequels up to Mega Man Battle Network 6 (2005), introduced PET model upgrades with enhanced features like voice simulation and expanded storage, underscoring the series' emphasis on portable computing analogies in action-RPG battles against cyber threats.^[60]^[61]

Education and training

Programs and methodologies

Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) is a structured parent education program developed by psychologist Thomas Gordon, first implemented in 1962 to equip parents with communication skills for fostering democratic family dynamics and resolving conflicts non-coercively.^[62] The program emphasizes techniques such as active listening, where parents reflect children's feelings to validate emotions without judgment, and I-messages, which express parental needs assertively to avoid blame.^[63] Core to PET is the "no-lose" method of problem-solving, which treats parent-child disputes as mutual issues requiring collaborative solutions rather than parental authority imposition, drawing from client-centered therapy principles originally advanced by Carl Rogers.^[64] Empirical evaluations of PET have included randomized controlled trials assessing outcomes like improved family communication and reduced child misbehavior. A 2011 randomized controlled trial involving preadolescent families found PET participants reported enhanced parental skills in expressing needs and listening, with sustained effects at six-month follow-up, though child behavior changes were less pronounced.^[65] Another 2013 study on Taiwanese families showed PET led to statistically significant gains in family functioning scores, including cohesion and adaptability, compared to control groups, via pre- and post-test measures.^[66] Meta-analyses of parent training interventions incorporating PET elements indicate modest positive effects on conflict resolution, with effect sizes around 0.3-0.5 for parenting behaviors, but these aggregate data across programs and highlight variability due to implementation fidelity.^[67] Despite these findings, PET's efficacy is not universally supported across contexts, as early reviews noted insufficient large-scale, long-term controlled studies to confirm broad applicability, particularly in diverse socioeconomic or cultural settings where hierarchical family norms prevail.^[64] Claims of transformative results for all families often overstate evidence, given reliance on self-reported outcomes and potential selection bias in voluntary participants; rigorous trials underscore benefits primarily in middle-class, motivated groups, with limited generalizability to high-risk populations requiring integrated behavioral interventions.^[68] Gordon Training International continues to certify instructors worldwide, reporting over 8 million parents trained since inception, though independent verification of aggregate impact remains sparse.^[62]

Transportation

Airlines and services

Pet Airways was a United States-based airline that specialized in pet-only flights, operating from July 2009 until ceasing passenger services in early 2013 due to financial insolvency.^[69] The carrier transported dogs and cats exclusively, with human crew but no accompanying owners on board; pets were checked in at origin "Pet Ports" and retrieved at destination facilities, avoiding traditional cargo holds to minimize stress.^[70] Initial routes connected five cities—Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles—using Cessna 208B Grand Caravan single-engine turboprops configured for up to 9-12 pets per flight, with onboard oxygen, climate control, and mid-flight check-ins by attendants.^[71] Safety protocols emphasized veterinary pre-flight clearances, secure carriers, and avoidance of sedatives, reflecting concerns over cargo-related incidents like temperature extremes that have caused pet fatalities on conventional airlines.^[72] The airline's model highlighted logistical challenges in pet-specific aviation, including high per-flight costs from underutilized small aircraft and reliance on a narrow customer base of owners willing to pay premiums—fares started at around $149 one-way for short hauls.^[73] Expansion plans targeted 25 destinations, but persistent low load factors and funding shortfalls led to flight cancellations by 2012, culminating in grounded operations amid bankruptcy proceedings.^[69] Efforts to relaunch with FAA recertification have continued into the 2020s without resuming scheduled service, underscoring economic barriers to scaling niche air transport amid competition from cargo options on major carriers and ground alternatives.^[74]

Other uses

Language and common terms

The verb pet denotes the act of stroking or caressing gently, typically to express affection toward an animal or person, with this specific sense first recorded in 1818.^[4] The term derives from the noun pet denoting a favored or indulged entity, which entered English in the 1530s from Scottish dialect, likely influenced by Gaelic peata meaning "tame animal."^[4]^[75] Earlier verbal usage from the 1620s meant "to treat as a pet" or indulge, evolving into the modern caressing connotation by the 19th century.^[4] Common idiomatic expressions incorporating pet include "teacher's pet," describing a student perceived as unduly favored by an educator, with the earliest known attestation in 1914.^[76] A "pet name" refers to an affectionate nickname used between intimates, documented from 1807.^[77] Similarly, "pet peeve" signifies a particular personal annoyance or irritation, combining pet in the sense of "cherished" (from 1826) with peeve meaning "grievance" (from 1917), and the phrase itself emerging in 1919. These usages reflect pet's extension from favoritism and indulgence to nuanced emotional or relational contexts in English since the 16th century.^[4]
