Ubiquity of biological ice nucleators in snowfall.
Despite the integral role of ice nucleators (IN) in atmospheric processes leading to precipitation, their sources and distributions have not been well established. We examined IN in snowfall from mid- and high-latitude locations and found that the most active were biological in origin. Of the IN larger than 0.2 micrometer that were active at temperatures warmer than -7 degrees C, 69 to 100% wer...

متن کاملReflections on a Symposium on Computation
ACM Ubiquity hosted a symposium in 2010–2011 on Turing’s question, ‘What is computation?’ The editor reflects on how the symposium was organized and what conclusions it reached. The authors showed strong consensus around the propositions that computation is a process, computational model matters, many computations are natural, many important computations are continuous, many important computati...
متن کاملComputation by Biological Systems
What are biological systems and how do they work? Does there exist a physical explanation that captures both their complexity and their simplicity? Biological systems are, after all, just another type of physical system. It has the distinction that it is “alive” whatever this means. Otherwise, biological systems consume mass and energy like any other endothermic process requiring these to opera...
متن کاملThe Ubiquity of Discovery
As scientists ~rnterested in studying the phenomenon of"inteUigence", we first choose a view of Man, develop a theory of how intelligent behavior is managed, and construct some models which can test and refine that theory. The view we choose is that Man is a precessor of symbolic infomlation. The theory is that sophisticated cognitive tasks can be cast as searches or explorations, and that each...
