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

Ion Transport in Eryptosis, the Suicidal Death of Erythrocytes
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Erythrocytes are among the most abundant cells in mammals and are perfectly adapted to their main functions, i.e., the transport of O2 to peripheral tissues and the contribution to CO2 transport to the lungs.

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 ...
