  2. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Total dissolved solids ( TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular ( colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS in water can be measured using a digital meter.

  3. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory - Wikipedia

    Dates of operation. 1966–2006. Succeeded by. LCLS. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, [2] [3] is a federally funded research and development center in Menlo Park, California, United States. Founded in 1962, the laboratory is now sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and ...

  4. Applied physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_physics

    Applied physics. Experiment using a laser. A magnetic resonance image. Applied physics is the application of physics to solve scientific or engineering problems. It is usually considered a bridge or a connection between physics and engineering . "Applied" is distinguished from "pure" by a subtle combination of factors, such as the motivation ...

  5. Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Universities...

    After three years of construction and testing, the new accelerator facility became operational in December 1968. Henry Newson, a nuclear physics professor at Duke University, was responsible for the proposal, was the original proponent of combining the efforts of the three universities, and served as the first director of the new laboratory.

  6. Accelerator physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_physics

    Accelerator physics. Accelerator physics is a branch of applied physics, concerned with designing, building and operating particle accelerators. As such, it can be described as the study of motion, manipulation and observation of relativistic charged particle beams and their interaction with accelerator structures by electromagnetic fields .

  7. Superconducting magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet

    The magnet is inside the doughnut-shaped housing and can create a 3-tesla field inside the central hole. Superconducting magnets have a number of advantages over resistive electromagnets. They can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnetic-core electromagnets, which are limited to fields of around 2 T.

  8. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    Higher TDS concentration in solution may result from greater cooling tower efficiency. However the higher the TDS concentration, the greater the risk of scale, biological growth, and corrosion. The amount of blow-down is primarily regulated by measuring by the electrical conductivity of the circulating water. Biological growth, scaling, and ...

  9. Hardware acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_acceleration

    A cryptographic accelerator card allows cryptographic operations to be performed at a faster rate. Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU). Any transformation of data that can be calculated ...
