When we were real : a novel / by Gregory, Daryl,author.(CARDINAL)342040;
"From multiple award-winning author Daryl Gregory comes a madcap adventure following two friends on a cross-country bus tour through the mind-boggling glitches in their simulated world as they grapple with love, family, secrets, and the very nature of reality in a simulation. JP and Dulin have been the best of friends for decades. When JP finds out his cancer has aggressively returned, Dulin decides it's the perfect time for one last adventure: a week-long bus tour of North America's Impossibles, the physics-defying glitches and geographic miracles that started cropping up seven years earlier -- right after the Announcement that revealed our world to be merely a digital simulacrum. The outing, courtesy of Canterbury Trails Tours, promises the trip of a (not completely real) lifetime in a (not completely deluxe) coach. Their fellow passengers are 21st-century pilgrims, each of them on the tour for their own reasons. There's a nun hunting for an absent God, a pregnant influencer determined to make her child too famous to be deleted, a crew of horny octogenarians living each day like it's their last, and a professor on the run from leather-clad sociopaths who take The Matrix as scripture. Each stop on this trip is stranger than the last -- a Tunnel outside of time, a zero gravity Geyser, the compound of motivational-speaking avatar -- with everyone barreling toward the tour's iconic final stop Ghost City, where unbeknownst to our travelers the answer to who is running the simulation may await. When We Were Real is a tour-de-force and exploration of what really matters, even in an artificial world."--

OECD DIVINE element 1 : accelerated dynamic pavement testing / by Kenis, William.(CARDINAL)314160; Wang, Weijun.(CARDINAL)740473; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 101-102).Background -- Design of the experiment -- Construction of test pavements -- Materials characterization -- Measurement systems -- Measurements and data collection -- Data analysis -- Summary and conclusions -- Appendices -- References.Final report;The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Road Transport Research Programme launched a major 2-year study into the relationship between heavy vehicle dynamic loading and pavement and bridge wear, known as the Dynamic Interaction of the Vehicle and INfrastructure Experiment (DIVINE) project. The project consisted of six interrelated research projects. This report describes Element 1 of the program, which consists of the design of the experiment, testing method, method of data collection, results of the data analysis, and major findings and recommendations. Testing was performed at the Canterbury (New Zealand) Accelerated Pavement Testing Indoor Facility.
