The thermal explosion revisited.
The classical problem of the thermal explosion in a long cylindrical vessel is modified so that only a fraction alpha of its wall is ideally thermally conducting while the remaining fraction 1-alpha is thermally isolated. Partial isolation of the wall naturally reduces the critical radius of the vessel. Most interesting is the case when the structure of the boundary is a periodic one, so that t...
متن کاملThe Biointelligence Explosion
Genetic evolution is slow. Progress in artificial intelligence is fast (Kurzweil 2005). Only a handful of genes separate Homo sapiens from our hominid ancestors on the African savannah. Among our 23,000-odd protein-coding genes, variance in single nucleotide polymorphisms accounts for just a small percentage of phenotypic variance in intelligence as measured by what we call IQ tests. True, the ...
متن کاملThe Patent Litigation Explosion
This paper provides the first look at patent litigation hazards for public firms during the 80s and 90s. Consistent with our model, litigation is more likely when prospective defendants spend more on R&D, when prospective plaintiffs acquire more patents and when firms are larger and technologically close. Public firms face dramatically increased hazards of litigation as plaintiffs and even more...
متن کاملThe Cambrian Explosion
The Precambrian genesis plus Cambrian explosion scenario also implies a perplexing view of a major evolutionary radiation: a long period of cryptic speciation with increasing developmental complexity and anatomical sophistication, yet without substantial behavioural or ecological modification or diversification, followed by a sudden increase in morphological and ecological innovation.

متن کاملThe Cambrian explosion
The sudden appearance of fossils that marks the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' has intrigued and exercised biologists since Darwin's time. In On the Origin of Species, Darwin made it clear that he believed that ancestral forms 'lived long before' their first fossil representatives. While he considered such an invisible record necessary to explain the level of complexity already seen in the foss...
