On supercharging: Electrostatic aspects

Expanding the choice set : Supercharging active

Recent work has suggested that yes/no response formats, or active choice, can increase enrollment compared to opt-in procedures. To encourage even greater enrollment and increased participant engagement in academic research studies, we investigated the impact on participation rates of presenting multiple “yes” or “no” options. We demonstrate that the provision of additional, more labor-intensiv...

Blendenpik: Supercharging LAPACK's Least-Squares Solver

Several innovative random-sampling and random-mixing techniques for solving problems in linear algebra have been proposed in the last decade, but they have not yet made a significant impact on numerical linear algebra. We show that by using a high-quality implementation of one of these techniques, we obtain a solver that performs extremely well in the traditional yardsticks of numerical linear ...

Supercharging proteins can impart unusual resilience.

Protein aggregation, a well-known culprit in human disease,1,2 is also a major problem facing the use of proteins as therapeutic or diagnostic agents.3,4 Insights into the protein aggregation problem have been garnered from the study of natural proteins, where a relationship between solubility and net charge has been noted. For example, it is known that proteins are least soluble at their isoel...
