Testing the Accelerator Hypothesis

OBJECTIVE — Previous reports have predicted greater risk of type 1 diabetes among people who were heavier as young children. The Accelerator Hypothesis predicts earlier onset in heavier people, without necessarily a change in risk, and views type 1 and type 2 diabetes as the same disorder of insulin resistance, set against different genetic backgrounds. Insulin resistance is a function of fat m...

The FuturICT education accelerator

Education is a major force for economic and social wellbeing. Despite high aspirations, education at all levels can be expensive and ineffective. Three Grand Challenges are identified: (1) enable people to learn orders of magnitude more effectively, (2) enable people to learn at orders of magnitude less cost, and (3) demonstrate success by exemplary interdisciplinary education in complex system...

The Silicon Lattice Accelerator∗

Previously, the generalized luminosity L was defined and calculated for all incident channels based on an NLC e+e− design. Alternatives were then considered to improve the differing beam-beam effects in the e−e−, eγ and γγ channels. One example was tensor beams composed of bunchlets nijk implemented with a laser-driven, silicon accelerator based on micromachining techniques. Problems were consi...

The PLUS Accelerator

Our plan is to demonstrate a workstation accelerator (called PLUS) that not only executes the current speech recognition systems in real time, but that will also support the increasing computational demands of speech recognition systems in the next several years. The accelerator will also be useful for other compute-bound applications. The accelerator will be replicated and made available to ot...
