Annual crop residues (including pressed seedcake) can be burned throughout the year in local electricity generation plants, thereby smoothing out the production income cycle.

This is at an early stage, but you can show with the exponential growth of the amount of information about the brain and the exponential improvement in the resolution of brain scanning, we will succeed in reverse engineering the human brain by the 2020s.

This value controls the evenness of smoothing to the image. Do not use a high value here, or the target image will be completely blurred.

And the tsunami of problems that we feel we're facing in terms of sustainability questions are actually a reflection of the exponential increase in urbanization across the planet.

I was a little nervous because maybe the data wouldn't be right, but I've done this now for 30 years, and it has stayed on this exponential progression.

There has been an exponential growth in secondary, higher and university education. Gender parity in access to and duration of education has also been achieved at all levels.

This explains why, in a world where developing countries are faced with increasing shocks, macroeconomic policies aimed at smoothing the business cycle (that is, counter cyclical macro economic policies) play a vital role in economic growth.

And we look at these exponential technologies from medicine, biotech, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, space, and address how can we cross train and leverage these to impact major unmet goals.

They think they're going to continue to develop a problem or address a problem using today's tools, at today's pace of progress, and fail to take into consideration this exponential growth.

After a certain time of exponential phase, the rate of growth slows down, due to the continuously falling concentrations of nutrients and or a continuously increasing (accumulating) concentrations of toxic substances.

And we're integrating this now with a whole era of cellular engineering, and integrating exponential technologies for essentially 3D organ printing replacing the ink with cells and essentially building and reconstructing a 3D organ.

They have been expanding, urbanization has been expanding, at an exponential rate in the last 200 years so that by the second part of this century, the planet will be completely dominated by cities.

The experts group observed that exponential growth in mercenarism and other private security activity might be due as much to a lack of legislation as to a lack of political will to properly combat the phenomenon.

And indeed, one of the wonderful things about the theory is that if you have super linear scaling from wealth creation and innovation, then indeed you get, from the same theory, a beautiful rising exponential curve lovely.

This is a good story, full of human drama and power politics. But I wonder whether, even within the next few decades, another factor will influence our work lives even more the exponential rise of applications of artificial intelligence.

Now, we know some of the technological facts that are driving this change in our lifestyle the uptake and diffusion of mobile devices, the exponential improvement in data storage and data processing, and the remarkable improvement in human biometric sensors.

On the other hand, Andrew Kennedy has shown that if one calculates the journey time to a given destination as the rate of travel speed derived from growth (even exponential growth) increases, there is a clear minimum in the total time to that destination from now (see wait calculation).

The exponential growth in both numbers and influence over the past two decades or so prompted me to establish the Panel of Eminent Persons on United Nations Civil Society Relations to assess and draw lessons from United Nations interaction with civil society and recommend ways to improve it.
