Quanta and fields : the biggest ideas in the universe / by Carroll, Sean,1966-author.(CARDINAL)544558;
Wave functions -- Measurement -- Entanglement -- Fields -- Interactions -- Effective field theory -- Scale -- Symmetry -- Gauge theory -- Phases -- Matter -- Atoms -- Appendix: Fourier transforms."In the second book of this already internationally acclaimed series, Sean Carroll, the most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts, digs deep into matter itself. What is the universe made of? In his quest to redefine the "popular" treatment of the biggest ideas in the universe, Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to physics and math as reviewer after reviewer has attested. Adventuring in the math of fields, he now intrepidly guides readers into the fantastic depths of The Standard Model of particle physics illuminating the mysteries of quantum reality. The universe is made of atoms and Sean Carroll explains exactly what that means and how we know it"--

Application of LADAR in the analysis of aggregate characteristics / by Wang, Linbing,1963-(CARDINAL)311653; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.(CARDINAL)138446; National Cooperative Highway Research Program.(CARDINAL)281856; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references (page 71)."NCHRP Project 4-34, 'Application of LADAR in the Analysis of Aggregate Characteristics,' was conducted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, with participation by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The objective of the project was to develop and evaluate a laser detection and ranging (LADAR) system capable of precise and accurate measurement of the aggregate characteristics of shape, volume, angularity, surface texture, specific surface area, and volumetric gradation. Ideally, the final system would be applicable to aggregate in three size categories--coarse (2 in. to #4), fine (#4 to #200), and microfine (P200)--and suitable for routine use in research, central, and field laboratories for Portland cement concrete and asphalt concrete mixture design and quality assurance. The project, which developed new equipment and computer algorithms, proved technically challenging. The project team developed a prototype Fourier transform interferometry (FTI) system with fully functional hardware and software. The system can characterize aggregate shape, angularity, texture, surface area, and volume of a wide range of aggregate sizes with high accuracy. Assembly and operation of the FTI system consisting of a chargecoupled device (CD) camera, a fringe source, a sample platform, and a software package are fully documented in the report. The accuracy and precision of the prototype FTI system are comparable to or better than those of other systems now available to automatically measure aggregate characteristics, but its current range of aggregate size--3/4 in. to #50--is narrower than desired. Extending this size range is possible in the future by using a CCD camera with a larger field of view and increasing the system resolution through appropriate selection of the equipment components."Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration
