Just as daunting is the struggle to make sense of the torrent of information that surges out of computers at accelerating speed.
However, the rapid economic growth in developing countries has put the world on course to burn the remaining 330bn tonnes at accelerating speed – by about 2040, unless drastic action to curb emissions is taken.
Renewable energy also continued its upward trend, at accelerating speed.
Which is just as well, given that the Olympic movement is no longer just about sport, but about wholesale urban regeneration at accelerated speed.
In the absence of selection, heterosis should increase linearly with population divergence (Falconer and Mackay 1996), whereas outbreeding depression due to multilocus interactions should develop slowly in the beginning, but at accelerated speed as populations become increasingly differentiated (Orr and Turelli 2001).
"If they're speaking very slowly," Ms. Hawkins said, "you can understand them perfectly" at accelerated speeds.
"People who are listening at accelerated speeds learn just as much, and there's some evidence they may learn even a bit more," said Kevin Harrigan, an associate professor at the Center for Learning and Teaching Through Technology of the University of Waterloo in Canada.
"If you're listening at accelerated speeds," said Joel Galbraith, a researcher in Penn State's instructional systems program, "it forces you to not do anything else, so you're more focused on it".
Talking Book Player www.telex.com The Telex Scholar Digital Talking Book Player, designed for the blind and dyslexic, is a hand-held device that plays back CD's or MP3's at accelerated speeds ($249).
In the static kill procedure, engineers poured 2,300 barrels of mud at slow but gradually accelerating speeds from a surface vessel through a choke line into the blowout preventer on top of the well and into the oil reservoir.
This paper describes a novel test bed environment which offers an interactive graphical interface, provides access to simulation modules that run at accelerated computational speeds, and presents new graphic visualization methods for the interpretation of simulation results.
