Fiber-optic airmeter / by Ansari, Farhad.(CARDINAL)327889; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325;
Project summary -- Introduction -- Measurement of entrained air in concrete -- Objectives -- System components -- Evaluation of sensor tips -- Measurement methodology -- Experimental program -- Mixture proportions -- Gravimetric method for air content -- Sieved mortar -- Experimental results -- Discussion of results -- Conclusions and recommendations -- Appendix.This report discusses a three-phase program to evaluate both acrylate-filled and diamond-tipped air meter probes as well as to gather and evaluate test results comparing fiber optic measurements of entrained air in concrete mix to gravimetric and volumetric measuring methods. The experiments indicate that while the acrylate-filled (plain-tipped) probes were effective in detecting the percentage of entrained air in the concrete mixes, the probes need to be altered to reduce the failure rate found during testing.... contract no.

Twist : a novel / by McCann, Colum,1965-,author.(CARDINAL)391176;
"Anthony Fennell, an Irish journalist and playwright, is assigned to cover the story of the underwater cables that carry the world's information. The sum of human existence-words, images, transactions, memes, voices, viruses-travels through the tiny fiber optic tubes. But sometimes the tubes break at an unfathomable depth. Fennell's literary adventure brings him to the west coast of Africa where he uncovers a story about the raw human labor behind the dazzling veneer of the technological world. He meets a fellow Irishman, John Conway, the chief of mission on a cable repair ship. The mysterious Conway is a skilled engineer and a freediver capable of reaching extraordinary depths. He is also in love with a South African actress, Zanele, who must leave to go on her own journey to London. When the boat is sent up the west coast of Africa to repair a series of major underwater breaks, both men learn that the very cables they seek to fix carry the news that may cause their lives to unravel. At sea, they are forced to confront the most elemental questions of life, love, absence, belonging and the perils of our severed connections. Can we, in our fractured world, reweave ourselves out of the thin, broken threads of our pasts? Can the ruptured things awaken us from our despair?" -- Provided by publisher.
