Safety evaluation of ultraviolet-activated fluorescent roadway : delineation : preliminary field experiment / by Mahach, K. R.; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Center for Applied Research (Great Falls, Va.)(CARDINAL)311183;

Includes bibliographical references (page 21).Technical report;A new technology is being developed in Sweden to improve visibility for nighttime driving. This technology consists of Ultraviolet (UV) headlights in combination with fluorescent traffic control devices. Vehicles will be equipped with headlamps that supply UV radiation in a high-beam pattern, along with conventional halogen or metal halide low-beam headlamps. UV light is not visible to the human observer, but after striking certain materials it will cause them to "fluoresce", that is, the UV radiation is converted to longer wavelength, visible light. UV-activated fluorescent materials can be incorporated into roadway delineation, such as pavement markings. A field test was conducted to examine the effectiveness of using UV headlights, with fluorescent pavement markings, in increasing the visibility of roadway delineation. This included measurement of both a visibility distance and subjective ratings. The study examined drivers opinions of the UV light as well as measured distance and general visibility of the fluorescent roadway markings as compared to standard roadway markings.Performed by Center for Applied Research, Inc., under contract no.

Uniform traffic control and warning messages for portable changeable message signs / by Knoblauch, Richard L.(CARDINAL)311186; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Safety and Traffic Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)172825; Center for Applied Research (Great Falls, Va.)(CARDINAL)311183; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;

Includes bibliographical references (page 67).Development of candidate messages -- Laboratory testing of candidate messages -- Field testing of candidate messages -- Recommended CMS messages -- Appendix A -- References.Final report;The objective of this study was to develop and test word and symbol traffic control and hazard messages for portable changeable message signs (PCMSs). The messages were designed for the standard PCMS with three lines of eight characters. First, a comprehensive listing of candidate PCMS messages was developed. This was done by interviewing State highway engineers, surveying PCMS manufacturers and questioning motorists. In those situations where subjects did not express an overwhelming sign preference additional field testing was done. The detection distances of the candidate messages were determined using a PCMS under both day and night conditions.Performed by Center for Applied Research, Inc. for the Office of Safety and Traffic Operations, Research & Development, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

It was a seismic cultural event - one that forced institutions across the nation to reckon with the bias faced by girls and women in STEM. This is the story of the women on MIT's faculty who started it all, centered on the life and career of their unlikely leader: Nancy Hopkins, a noted molecular geneticist and cancer researcher and protégée of James Watson, the codiscoverer of the structure of DNA.--

Becoming supernatural : how common people are doing the uncommon / by Dispenza, Joe,1962-author.(CARDINAL)483752; Braden, Gregg,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)658783;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-334) and index.Foreword / Gregg Braden -- Introduction: Getting ready to become supernatural -- Opening the door to the supernatural -- The present moment -- Turning into new potentials in the quantum -- Blessing of the energy centers -- Reconditioning the body to a new mind -- Case studies: living examples of truth -- Heart intelligence -- Mind movies/kaleidoscope -- Walking meditation -- Case studies: Making it real -- Space-time and time-space -- The pineal gland -- Project coherence: making a better world -- Case studies: It could happen to you -- Afterword: Being peace."The author ... draws on research conducted at his advanced workshops since 2012 to explore how common people are doing the uncommon to transform themselves and their lives. [This book] marries some of the most profound scientific information with ancient wisdom to show how people like you and me can experience a more mystical life. Readers will learn that we are, quite literally supernatural by nature if given the proper knowledge and instruction, and when we learn how to apply that information through various meditations, we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities; that we have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly coherent streams of consciousness and energy; that we can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profoundly mystical transcendental experiences; and how, if we do this enough times, we can develop the skill of creating a more efficient, balanced, healthy body, a more unlimited mind, and greater access to the realms of spiritual truth. Topics include: Demystifying the body's 7 energy centers and how you can balance them to heal. How to free yourself from the past by reconditioning your body to a new mind. How you can create reality in the generous present moment by changing your energy. The difference between third-dimension creation and fifth-dimension creation. The secret science of the pineal gland and its role in accessing mystical realms of reality. The distinction between Space-Time vs. Time-Space realities ... and much more. Using tools and disciplines ranging from cutting-edge physics to practical exercises such as a walking meditation, Dr. Joe offers nothing less than a program for stepping outside our physical reality and into the quantum field of infinite possibilities"--
