Although semiconductor engineers can now predict with great accuracy the amount of computing power that the transistor advance will bring with it by 2007, computer scientists cautioned that speculating about labor-saving applications or dazzling technological consequences can be more risky.
This has important technological consequences for the design of carbon-based supercapacitors.
Andras Pellionisz, founder of the International Hologenomics Society and the holder of triple Ph.D.s in physics, computer science and biology, says the social, political and technological consequences of what genomic mapping will unleash are enormous.
Finally, our results have significant scientific and technological consequences in the novel design of future generation energy efficient devices and could be useful in further advancement of theory, simulation, and experimental work.
The biological and technological consequences of long-duration, solar-related, energetic particle radiation for manned/unmanned spacecraft warrant that consideration be given to providing reliable space weather predictions for future space missions to planet Mars.
As is the case with any scientific development with important technological consequences, basic research plays a fundamental role whereby appropriate models are designed to explore and predict the physical and chemical behavior of a system.
However, his definition excludes the fact that innovation does not necessarily consist of totally novel things; innovative activities that cause relatively small changes in product performance may also have important economic and technological consequences (Rosenberg, 1976) as they may accumulate over time and result in significant changes (Tidd et al., 1997).
Thus, variation in ELOVL6 expression can modulate fatty acid composition in muscle and backfat and have important sensorial and technological consequences on meat quality [54] and insulin sensitivity [ 7].
And there are books exploring the political, religious, psychological, technological and environmental consequences of the terrorist attacks.
It's natural for us to take events that were to a significant extent the product of guesswork, accident, short-term opportunism, and good luck, and of demographic and technological changes whose consequences no one could have foreseen, and shape them into a heroic narrative about artistic breakthrough and social progress.
