Myostatin is synthesized, released, and acts within the human placenta. It contributes to placental glucose homeostasis and may be a therapeutic target in diseases ranging from placental insufficiency to diabetes in pregnancy.

Many computer vision applications are entering the 'big data' era: it is straightforward to acquire very large datasets that need to be processed. Our current research targets a largescale structure-from-motion application, in which 3D models are formed from large collections of digital photographs.There have also been many recent technological developments suitable for speeding up the data processing for these computer vision applications. However many of the emerging technologies have very different costs in terms of developer time and experience. We have previously implemented our system on multicore CPUs, clusters of such multicore machines, and GPUs.The Intel R Xeon Phi TM coprocessor aims to provide highly efficient processing of massively parallel workloads. The Phi tries to strike a pragmatic balance between the vector processing power of GPUs, and the ease of programming provided by deploying to CPUs.
