Conceptualizing Urban Shrinkage [PDF]
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 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

Experimental Studies on Mechanical Properties and Thermal Behavior of Polyoxymethylene/CaCO3 NanoComposites [PDF]
علوم و تکنولوژی پلیمر, 2014 Nanocomposites based on polyoxymethylene (POM), containing 1.5 to 9 wt% of CaCO3 nanoparticles, were prepared by melt compounding, using a co-rotating twin screw extruder, followed by injection molding process. The thermal behavior, mechanical properties

Bayesian Semiparametric Multiple Shrinkage [PDF]
Biometrics, 2010 SummaryHigh‐dimensional and highly correlated data leading to non‐ or weakly identified effects are commonplace. Maximum likelihood will typically fail in such situations and a variety of shrinkage methods have been proposed. Standard techniques, such as ridge regression or the lasso, shrink estimates toward zero, with some approaches allowing ...

A Low-Autogenous-Shrinkage Alkali-Activated Slag and Fly Ash Concrete
Applied Sciences, 2020 Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (AASF) materials are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional Portland cement. Despite the superior mechanical properties of AASF materials, they are known to show large autogenous shrinkage, which hinders the ...

Shrinkage Function And Its Applications In Matrix Approximation
, 2017 The shrinkage function is widely used in matrix low-rank approximation, compressive sensing, and statistical estimation. In this article, an elementary derivation of the shrinkage function is given. In addition, applications of the shrinkage function are

Conditions for Posterior Contraction in the Sparse Normal Means Problem [PDF]
, 2015 The first Bayesian results for the sparse normal means problem were proven for spike-and-slab priors. However, these priors are less convenient from a computational point of view.

Impact of super absorbent polymers on early age behavior of ultra-high performance concrete walls [PDF]
, 2019 Early age cracking, a common problem for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), is caused by Autogenous Shrinkage (AS) and self-desiccation arising from the chemical shrinkage during the cement hydration reactions when the deformation is restrained ...
