Prediction of drying shrinkage of Portland cement paste: influence of shrinkage mechanisms
, 1991 Ultimate drying shrinkage of paste was investigated in terms of the Gibbs-Bangham shrinkage and the capillary stress mechanisms. Shrinkage measurements and nitrogen sorption isotherms were obtained on cement pastes of water-to-cement (W/C) ratios of 0.4 ...

Ridge Estimation for Multinomial Logit Models with Symmetric Side Constraints [PDF]
, 2009 In multinomial logit models, the identifiability of parameter estimates is typically obtained by side constraints that specify one of the response categories as reference category.

Tough Injectable Hydrogels Enabled by Integrating Rigid Homogeneous Framework With Flexible Chains
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Tough injectable hydrogels are constructed by integrating a rigid, homogeneous hyaluronic acid framework with flexible long‐chain connectors. This framework–flexible structure simultaneously enhances network uniformity and promotes effective energy dissipation by enlarging plastic deformation zones under compression.

Shrinkage Based Tests of the Martingale Difference Hypothesis [PDF]
In this paper we define a family of tests for the Martingale Difference Hypothesis (MDH) based upon a shrinkage principle. Tests within this family are such that rejection of the null implies that forecasts from the alternative model, adjusted by a ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.
