The European museums have more money, and they can make very fast decisions.
Researchers are exploring ways to use these properties to make very fast transistors, sensors and even transparent electrodes.
This simple method naturally treats topological mergings and breakings, produces no overlapping regions or vacuums, and can be made very fast.
Renger, upon his arrival at Merck, had set up a sleep laboratory that could make very fast, semiautomated measurements of the sleep patterns of rodents and monkeys.
One mid-level employee, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, said late yesterday: "A lot of changes have been made very fast in the past year.
Other researchers have made very fast transistors using expensive semiconductor materials such as indium phosphide, but these devices only operate at low temperatures.
Dr. Heckerman will show how these methods can be made very fast, facilitating their use on large data and will also describe some additional tricks to get more power out of association studies.
There are times when routine business decisions can be made very fast, but when companies face newer occasions with far-reaching consequences, more time needs to be spent thinking about how to adapt and respond.
A museum curator told me recently that he finds something "ravenous and voracious" about the new collectors, a tendency to devour all the information they can find about an artist, and then to make very fast decisions — the same way they make decisions in the financial markets.
"If you want to win stage races at World Tour level, you are up against the most complete bike riders in the sport – Contador, Quintana, Froome, Nibali – so they have made very fast progress," said their directeur sportif at Orica, Matt White.
