Similar curves are given in (b) for the detrended (using a linear trend computed from 1900 to 2009) global warming (black line) and the reversed sign of south-eastern Australian rainfall (red line).
Apical area strain was defined as cell area relative to a cell area trend computed using a moving window of 6 min. High-frequency noise, residual low-frequency and neighbour effects in both area and rescaled myosin signals were removed via a bandpass filter in the range 1 mHz≤ ν≤12.5 mHz.
"If you look at the economics of game platforms and the power of computing on toys, this is a long-term market trend and computing trend," said Dan Reed, the supercomputing center's director.
He elaborated on some of his concerns more recently, saying he was troubled by a trend in computing toward devices that are less open to developers like Valve than they used to be.
The big trend in computing this year is the move from staring at your phone to glancing at your wrist.
Apple sparked a trend in computing of focusing more on the experience than on the specs, and nowhere will that be more true than with Google Glass, which has precious little in the way of precedent.
Much of this talk seems to be based on a fundamentally broken understanding of Moore's Law, the trend that computing power tends to double every 18 months.
The leaders of IBM Research asked a group of us to look out decades into the future and identify the most important trend in computing that we believe will be a major focus of interest over that long time span.
In 1970, Caltech professor Carver Mead coined the term Moore's Law, which is, in layman's terms, a trend in computing hardware that the number of transistors that can be conveniently and inexpensively placed on a circuit doubles roughly every two years.
Research into artificial intelligence, and the ability to develop sentience in machines, sits at the intersection of a few very large trends in computing.
