The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ( ACC ) is the strongest current system in the world oceans, linking the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific basins.

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ( ACC ) is an ocean current that flows clockwise from west to east around Antarctica.

An alternative name for the ACC is the West Wind Drift.

The ACC is the dominant circulation feature of the Southern Ocean and, at approximately 125 Sverdrups, the largest ocean current.

The ACC has been known to sailors for centuries ; it greatly speeds up any voyages from west to east, but makes sailing extremely difficult from east to west ; though this is mostly due to the prevailing westerly winds.

The clipper route, which is the fastest sailing route around the world, follows the ACC around three continental capes-Cape Agulhas ( Africa ), South East Cape ( Australia ) and Cape Horn ( South America ).

The northern boundary of the ACC is defined by the northern edge of the Subantarctic Front, this being the most northerly water to pass through Drake Passage and therefore be circumpolar.

Much of the ACC transport is carried in this front, which is defined as the latitude at which a subsurface salinity minimum or a thick layer of unstratified Subantarctic Mode Water first appears, allowed by temperature dominating density stratification.

The total transport of the ACC at Drake Passage is estimated to be around 135 Sverdrups ( 135, 000, 000 m³ / s ), or about 135 times the transport of all the world's rivers combined.

A partially ordered set ( poset ) P is said to satisfy the ascending chain condition ( ACC ) if every ascending chain of elements eventually terminates.

Another change in late 2009 and early 2010 resulted in the transfer of the ICBM force from AFSPC and the B-52 and B-2 strategic bomber force from ACC to the newly-established Air Force Global Strike Command ( AFGSC ), which is a direct descendant of SAC.

In the event the vehicle in front slows down or is too close, the ACC applies the brakes to slow the vehicle.

When the road ahead is clear, the ACC allows the vehicle to accelerate to a speed preset by the driver.

The host unit at Davis – Monthan is the 355th Fighter Wing ( 355 FW ) assigned to Twelfth Air Force, which is headquartered at DM and is part of Air Combat Command ( ACC ).

Although under ACC, it is best known for its role as the location of the Air Force Materiel Command's 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group ( AMARG ), better known as the sole aircraft boneyard for all excess military and government aircraft, as its location allows for preservation of the aircraft.

Davis – Monthan Air Force Base is a key ACC installation.

Although under ACC, it is best known for its role as the location of the Air Force Materiel Command's 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group ( AMARG ), better known as the sole aircraft boneyard for all excess military and government aircraft.

ESPN is often accused of having a bias towards certain teams, including those in the Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ), particularly the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels.

The base operating unit and host wing is the 325th Fighter Wing ( 325 FW ) of the Air Combat Command ( ACC ).

Headquarters, First Air Force at Tyndall is part of the Air Combat Command ( ACC ), ensuring the air sovereignty and air defense of the continental United States.

Operationally-gained by ACC, 1 AF is the only Numbered Air Force in the Air National Guard and is responsible for all Air National Guard F-15 and F-16 fighter units.

Cooperstein and Gleberzon have described the situation: "... although many in the chiropractic profession reject the concept of " subluxation " and shun the use of this term as a diagnosis, the presidents of at least a dozen chiropractic colleges of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges ( ACC ) developed a consensus definition of " subluxation " in 1996.

In an interesting expansion of the previously described experiment, the effects of rewards and costs on ACC ’ s activation during error commission was examined.

Agenesis of the corpus callosum ( ACC ) is a rare birth defect ( congenital disorder ) in which there is a complete or partial absence of the corpus callosum.

The anterior cingulate cortex ( ACC ), orbitofrontal cortex ( and the overlapping ventromedial prefrontal cortex ) are brain regions involved in decision making processes.

The dorsal part of the ACC is connected with the prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex as well as the motor system and the frontal eye fields making it a central station for processing top-down and bottom-up stimuli and assigning appropriate control to other areas in the brain.

These cells are a relatively recent occurrence in evolutionary terms ( found only in humans and great apes ) and contribute to this brain region's emphasis on addressing difficult problems, as well as the pathologies related to the ACC.

Upon detection of a conflict, the ACC then provides cues to other areas in the brain to cope with the conflicting control systems.

Furthermore, this theory predicts that, when the ACC receives conflicting input from control areas in the brain, it determines and allocates which area should be given control over the motor system.

The ACC area in the brain is associated with many functions which are correlated with conscious experience.

Studying the effects of damage to the ACC provides insights into the type of functions it serves in the intact brain.

The ACC has been suggested to have possible links with Social Anxiety, along with the amygdala part of the brain, but this research is still in its early stages.

Self-controland avoidance of erroris thus facilitated by the executive gatekeeping function of the ACC, as it regulates the interference patterns of neural signals between these two brain regions.

In brain imaging studies, the ACC has specifically been found to be active when mothers hear infants cry, underscoring its role in affording a heightened degree of social sensitivity.

The ACC is largely responsible for relaying waves of neural signals from deep within the brain to far flung regions, including Brodmann area 10.

Another used functional magnetic resonance ( fMRI ) to investigate brain activity associated with stereotype threat. Researchers found that women experiencing stereotype threat while taking a math test showed heightened activation in the ventral stream of the anterior cingulate cortex ( ACC ).

* Anterior cingulate — The anterior cingulate cortex ( ACC ) is located in the middle of the brain, just behind the prefrontal cortex.

The ACC staging system is useful in that Stage A encompasses " pre-heart failure " — a stage where intervention with treatment can presumably prevent progression to overt symptoms.

With this most recent agreement with the Sun Bowl the ACC keeps its Sun Bowl ties for at least four more years ; the most recent prior Sun Bowl agreement was done in conjunction with the Gator Bowl, where the ACC, Big East, and Big XII conferences ( as well as Notre Dame ) had a rotating arrangement with the two bowls.

Key attended Clemson University, where he played college baseball for the Clemson Tigers baseball team in the Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ).

There is evidence that damage to ACC is present in patients with schizophrenia, where studies have shown patients have difficulty in dealing with conflicting spatial locations in a Stroop-like task and having abnormal ERNs.

Specifically, Allman's team found signals from the ACC are received in Brodmann's area 10, in the frontal polar cortex, where regulation of cognitive dissonance ( disambiguation between alternatives ) is thought to occur.

He continued his amateur career for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's golf team, where he was a four-time first-team All-American, two-time ACC Player of the Year, and 1993 National Player of the Year.

After high school he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was honored as the 1985 ACC Male Athlete of the Year, and played on the very first ( 1984 ) U. S. Olympic baseball team.

They most recently played in the ACC Twenty20 Cup in Kuwait, where they finished fourth in their first round group.

In October / November 2007, Hong Kong took part in the inaugural ACC Twenty20 Cup held in Kuwait, where they played in Group B against the UAE, Singapore, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

In mammals where two isoforms of ACC are expressed, the main structural difference between these isoforms is the extended ACC2 N-terminus containing a mitochondria targeting sequence.

In December 2011, Afghanistan took part in the ACC Twenty20 Cup in Nepal, where they were drawn in the same group as Hong Kong, Oman, Kuwait and the Maldives.
