Accelerated Reduction in \(SO_2\) Emissions from the U.S. Power Sector Triggered by Changing Prices of Natural Gas
(American Chemical Society, 2012)Emissions of sulfur dioxide (\(SO_2\)) from the U.S. power sector decreased by 24% in 2009 relative to 2008. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) approach was applied to isolate the factors responsible for this decrease. ... -
Accelerating Correlated Quantum Chemistry Calculations Using Graphical Processing Units
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)Graphical processing units are now being used with dramatic effect to accelerate quantum chemistry calculations. However, early work exposed challenges involving memory bottlenecks and insufficient numerical precision. ... -
Accelerating Correlated Quantum Chemistry Calculations Using Graphical Processing Units and a Mixed Precision Matrix Multiplication Library
(American Chemical Society, 2010)Two new tools for the acceleration of computational chemistry codes using graphical processing units (GPUs) are presented. First, we propose a general black-box approach for the efficient GPU acceleration of matrix−matrix ... -
Accelerating Discovery in Virtual Chemical Libraries
(2023-05-15)High-throughput virtual screening (HTVS) is an essential workflow in molecular discovery programs that aids researchers in prioritizing compounds for experimental testing within large libraries of molecules. The application ... -
Accelerating drug discovery with quantum chemistry, machine learning, and molecular dynamics
(2023-11-21)Drug discovery is a long and expensive process. Bringing a new drug to market takes an average of 12 years and costs $2.9 billion (USD, 2013). Most new candidates fail during pre-clinical development, and 90% of the remaining ... -
Accelerating Markov chain Monte Carlo via parallel predictive prefetching
(2014-10-21)We present a general framework for accelerating a large class of widely used Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. This dissertation demonstrates that MCMC inference can be accelerated in a model of parallel computation ... -
Accelerating MCMC with Parallel Predictive Prefetching
(AUAI Press, 2014)Parallel predictive prefetching is a new frame- work for accelerating a large class of widely- used Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. It speculatively evaluates many potential steps of an MCMC chain in parallel ... -

Accelerating Resolution-of-the-Identity Second Order Møller-Plesset Quantum Chemistry Calculations with Graphical Processing Units
(American Chemical Society, 2008)The modification of a general purpose code for quantum mechanical calculations of molecular properties (Q-Chem) to use a graphical processing unit (GPU) is reported. A 4.3x speedup of the resolution-of-the-identity ... -
Accelerating the functional prioritization of gene regulatory biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia
(2021-07-12)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a blood malignancy demarcated by skewed hematopoietic differentiation and unregulated cellular proliferation, leading to poor mortality rates among adults. While therapies have been developed ... -
Accelerating the Understanding and Design of Intracellular Biosensors by Massively Multiplexed Experimentation and Machine Learning
(2021-01-06)Recent progress in large-scale DNA synthesis and next-generation DNA sequencing technology have enabled studies of biological processes at a massive scale. These studies can be further coupled to advanced computational ... -
Acceleration of galactic supershells by Lyα radiation
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Scattering of Ly alpha photons by neutral hydrogen gas in a single outflowing 'supershell' around star-forming regions often explains the shape and offset of the observed Ly alpha emission line from galaxies. We compute ... -
Accelerations of Water Masers in NGC 4258
(IOP Publishing, 2000)The water masers in NGC4258 delineate the structure and dynamics of a sub-parsec-diameter accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. VLBA observations provide precise information about the positions in the plane of ... -
The accelerator store
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2012)In recent years, circuit reliability in modern high-performance processors has become increasingly important. Shrinking feature sizes and diminishing supply voltages have made circuits more sensitive to microprocessor ... -
An Accelerator-Based Wireless Sensor Network Processor in 130 nm CMOS
(Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Networks of ultra-low-power nodes capable of sensing, computation, and wireless communication have applications in medicine, science, industrial automation, and security. Reducing power consumption requires the development ... -
Acceptance of Mobile Technology by Older Adults: A Preliminary Study
(2016)Mobile technologies offer the potential for enhanced healthcare, especially by supporting self-management of chronic care. For these technologies to impact chronic care, they need to work for older adults, because the ... -
Accepting difference, seeking common ground: Sino-Indian statistical exchanges 1951–1959
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2016)Starting as early as 1951, and with increasing urgency after 1956, Chinese and Indian statisticians traded visits as they sought to learn from each other's experiences. At the heart of these exchanges was the desire to ... -
Accessible Mutational Trajectories for the Evolution of Pyrimethamine Resistance in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium Vivax
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)Antifolate antimalarials, such as pyrimethamine, have experienced a dramatic reduction in therapeutic efficacy as resistance has evolved in multiple malaria species. We present evidence from one such species, Plasmodium ... -
