Studying the Effect of Shrinkage on the Bond Strength of Mortars, Applied to Substrate Concrete, Using “Friction-Transfer” and “Pull-Off” Methods [PDF]
Considering the differences that exist between the laboratory and site conditions, the in-situ estimation of bond strength of repair mortars is important. Therefore, in this paper, the results obtained from the use of two methods, “Friction-transfer” and

Experimental theoretical modelling of concrete shrinkage in massive structures [PDF]
In spite of the high culture of modern construction, the majority of massive structures erected in different countries of the world cannot avoid shrinkage cracks during the curing process, which negatively affect both the stiffness and durability of such

Modeling of Potato Slice Drying Process in a Microwave Dryer using Artificial Neural Network and Machine Vision [PDF]
IntroductionMicrowave drying compared to conventional hot air drying has many benefits to apply in food drying processes such as volumetric heating, high thermal efficiency, shorter drying time and improved product quality.

In many regression settings the unknown coefficients may have some known structure, for instance they may be ordered in space or correspond to a vectorized matrix or tensor. At the same time, the unknown coefficients may be sparse, with many nearly or exactly equal to zero. However, many commonly used priors and corresponding penalties for coefficients

Investigating the Influence of Drying Temperature and Air Flow Velocity on Some Qualitative Specifications of the Sliced Pear During Drying and Employment of Image Processing Technique [PDF]
Drying of agricultural and horticultural crops is one of the most important processes for their long term storage. Therefore, in this study, the influence of drying temperature and air flow velocity on the variation of color, shrinkage and pH were ...

Shrinkage for categorical regressors [PDF]
This paper introduces a flexible regularization approach that reduces point estimation risk of group means stemming from e.g. categorical regressors, (quasi-)experimental data or panel data models. The loss function is penalized by adding weighted squared l2-norm differences between group location parameters and informative first-stage estimates. Under
