Conceptualizing Urban Shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning A, 2014
Since the second half of the 20th century, urban shrinkage has become a common pathway of transformation for many large cities across the globe. Although the appearance of shrinkage is fairly universal—typically manifested in dwindling population, emerging vacant spaces, and the underuse of existing urban infrastructure, ranging from schools and parks ...

Pseudorandomness from Shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yes2012 IEEE 53rd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2012
One powerful theme in complexity theory and pseudorandomness in the past few decades has been the use of lower bounds to give pseudorandom generators (PRGs). However, the general results using this hardness vs. randomness paradigm suffer from a quantitative loss in parameters, and hence do not give nontrivial implications for models where we don’t know

Study on Shrinkage Cracking Morphology of Cement Mortar with Different Nanoclay Particles under Restraint

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
In this paper, different types and particle sizes of nanoclay (nano-metakaolin—NMK—and nano-attapulgite—NMA—clay) were selected to study the effect of nanoclay on the properties of cement-based cementitious materials.

Model for the Simulation of the Time-Dependent State in RC Elements

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The paper presents an upgrade of the previously developed model for nonlinear 3D analysis of concrete structures extended with the possibility of simulation of the long-term effects (shrinkage and creep) under long-term static load.

Effects of Fly Ash Dosage on Shrinkage, Crack Resistance and Fractal Characteristics of Face Slab Concrete

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2022
The crack resistance of face slab concretes to various shrinkages is crucial for the structural integrity and the normal operation of concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). In this work, the effects of fly ash with four dosages (i.e., 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%

On Reverse Shrinkage Effects and Shrinkage Overshoot

open access: yesPsychometrika, 2023
Given a squared Euclidean norm penalty, we examine some less well-known properties of shrinkage estimates. In particular, we highlight that it is possible for some components of the shrinkage estimator to be placed further away from the prior mean than the original estimate.
