The enclosed reports are the work of a task force that we convened across more than a dozen departments and agencies, consultations with hundreds of stakeholders, public comments submitted by industry and experts, and deep analytic research by experts from across the government. We would like to particularly thank the four agencies that took the lead in authoring each of the enclosed reports: the Department of Commerce on semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging; the Department of Energy on large capacity batteries; the Department of Defense on critical materials and minerals; and the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly the Food and Drug Administration, on pharmaceuticals and APIs. This work has complemented other work your Administration has undertaken to strengthen U.S. supply chains, including the work to dramatically expand the supply of COVID-19 vaccines and other products essential to American’s health. Departments and Agencies across your Administration have already begun to implement the reports’ recommendations. These include steps to strengthen U.S. manufacturing capacity for critical goods, to recruit and train workers to make critical products here at home, to invest in research and development that will reduce supply chain vulnerabilities, and to work with America’s allies and partners to strengthen collective supply chain resilience. Both the public and private sector play critical roles in strengthening supply chains, and your Administration will continue to work with industry, labor, and others to make America’s supply chains stronger. We have already launched the second phase of the supply chain initiative

    Rapid Vaccine Development & Biomanufacturing Using a Scalable, Non-viral Delivery Platform for Cell Engineering. James Brady, Weili Wang, Rama Shivakumar, Pachai Natarajan, Krista Steger, and Madhusudan Peshwa. MaxCyte, Gaithersburg, MD, USA. Abstract Researchers have looked to recombinant technologies to develop innovative types of vaccines and new cell culture-based means of production that offer shorter lead times and greater production flexibility while High Level Cell Viability and Transfection maintaining vaccine safety. Transient transfection offers a means of rapidly producing an array of proteins, Efficiencies including antibodies, vaccines, viral vectors, and virus-like particles (VLPs). Although a variety of transient transfection methods are available, most do not meet the requirements of scalability, consistency, and cell Figure 1.

  • What's Next for the United States?
    February 2021 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Office USA, Washington, D.C. What's next for the United States? Part 2: Climate Change and Energy Supply By Sabine Murphy How is the Biden administration changing the direction of the U.S.? The KAS Office USA takes a first look, in a series of five country reports. This report deals with climate and energy challenges. The White House website promises “swift action to tackle the climate emergency” and a “clean energy revolution”. Key Policy Goals The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t make it a secret that the fight against climate change is on top of the to-do-list. Climate is prominently listed on the White House website as one of seven top policy priorities. It states: “President Biden will take swift action to tackle the climate emergency. The Biden administration will ensure we meet the demands of science, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution.”1 The Biden administration takes a decidedly different approach to energy use and the impact of rising temperatures on the environment than its predecessor. After four years of the Trump administration denying scientific findings about climate change, Biden has pledged to follow science and involve the entire federal government in the fight against climate change. By creating inter-agency working groups and a National Climate Task Force, Biden wants to ensure that his policies for the production of clean energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are not limited to single agencies but will be implemented throughout the federal government. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach a goal of net-zero emissions across the economy before 2050, and to eliminate pollution caused by fossil fuel in electricity production by 2035.

  • Globalization: a Short History
    CHAPTER 5 GLOBALIZATIONS )URGEN OSTERHAMMEL TI-IE revival of world history towards the end of the twentieth century was intimately connected with the rise of a new master concept in the social sciences: 'globalization.' Historians and social scientists responded to the same generational experience·---·the impression, shared by intellectuals and many other people round the world, that the interconnectedness of social life on the planet had arrived at a new level of intensity. The world seemed to be a 'smaller' place in the 1990s than it had been a quarter­ century before. The conclusions drawn from this insight in the various academic disciplines, however, diverged considerably. The early theorists of globalization in sociology, political science, and economics disdained a historical perspective. The new concept seemed ideally suited to grasp the characteristic features of contemporary society. It helped to pinpoint the very essence of present-day modernity. Historians, on their part, were less reluctant to envisage a new kind of conceptual partnership. An earlier meeting of world history and sociology had taken place under the auspices of 'world-system theory.' Since that theory came along with a good deal of formalisms and strong assumptions, few historians went so far as to embrace it wholeheartedly. The idiom of 'globalization,' by contrast, made fewer specific demands, left more room for individuality and innovation and seemed to avoid the dogmatic pitfalls that surrounded world-system theory. 'Globalization' looked like a godsend for world historians. It opened up a way towards the social science mainstream, provided elements of a fresh terminology to a field that had sutlcred for a long time from an excess of descriptive simplicity, and even spawned the emergence of a special and up""ttHlate variant of world history-'global history.' Yet this story sounds too good to be true.

  • Software-Defined Hardware Provides the Key to High-Performance Data
    Software-Defined Hardware Provides the Key to High-Performance Data Acceleration (WP019) Software-Defined Hardware Provides the Key to High- Performance Data Acceleration (WP019) November 13, 2019 White Paper Executive Summary Across a wide range of industries, data acceleration is the key to building efficient, smart systems. Traditional general-purpose processors are falling short in their ability to support the performance and latency constraints that users have. A number of accelerator technologies have appeared to fill the gap that are based on custom silicon, graphics processors or dynamically reconfigurable hardware, but the key to their success is their ability to integrate into an environment where high throughput, low latency and ease of development are paramount requirements. A board-level platform developed jointly by Achronix and BittWare has been optimized for these applications, providing developers with a rapid path to deployment for high-throughput data acceleration. A Growing Demand for Distributed Acceleration There is a massive thirst for performance to power a diverse range of applications in both cloud and edge computing. To satisfy this demand, operators of data centers, network hubs and edge-computing sites are turning to the technology of customized accelerators. Accelerators are a practical response to the challenges faced by users with a need for high-performance computing platforms who can no longer count on traditional general-purpose CPUs, such as those in the Intel Xeon family, to support the growth in demand for data throughput. The core of the problem with the general- purpose CPU is that Moore's Law continues to double the number of available transistors per square millimeter approximately every two years but no longer allows for growth in clock speeds.
