self-desiccation is the major source of autogenous shrinkage and crack formation in low water-binder ratio (w/b) concretes which can be reduced by internal curing. in this paper performance of high strength self consolidating concrete (hs-scc) with w/b of 0.28 and 0.33 including autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, compressive strength, and resistance to freezing-thawing was investigated. th...

New challenges have arisen with the development of large marker panels for livestock species. Models easily become overparameterized when all available markers are included. Solutions have led to the development of shrinkage or regularization techniques. The objective of this study was the application and comparison of Bayesian LASSO (B-L), thick-tailed (Student-t), and semiparametric multiple ...

a method based on machine vision system (mvs) is hereby employed to evaluate grape drying through an assessment of the fruit’s shrinkage and quality during the dehydration. experimental data as well as captured images are obtained at an air velocity of 1.4 m s-1 and different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70ºc). the results indicated the effect of temperature on the moisture content, shrinkage a...

We study the connections between discrete one-dimensional schemes for nonlinear diffusion and shift-invariant Haar wavelet shrinkage. We show that one step of (stabilised) explicit discretisation of nonlinear diffusion can be expressed in terms of wavelet shrinkage on a single spatial level. This equivalence allows a fruitful exchange of ideas between the two fields. In this paper we derive new...

wavelet shrinkage denoising approach is able to maintain local regularity of a signal while suppressing noise. However, the conventional wavelet shrinkage based methods are not timescale adaptive to track the local timescale variation. In this paper, a new type of Neural Shrinkage (NS) is presented with a new class of shrinkage architecture for speckle reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between hygroscopic expansion and polymerization shrinkage for compensation of polymerization shrinkage stresses in a restored tooth. One resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) (Ketac Nano, 3M ESPE), 2 compomers (Dyract, Dentsply; Compoglass, Ivoclar), and a universal resin-based composite (Esthet•X HD, Dentsply) were tested. Volumetric...

Injection molding process is one of the most important methods of forming in the plastics manufacturing industry. Shrinkage and out of roundness are phenomenons that affect the final product quality. In this study, the effect of the thickness of cylindrical parts from polypropylene material on shrinkage and out of roundness has been investigated. For this purpose, injection molding process is s...

Bayesian wavelet shrinkage methods are defined through a prior distribution on the space of wavelet coefficients after a Discrete Wavelet Transformation has been applied to the data. Posterior summaries of the wavelet coefficients establish a Bayes shrinkage rule. After the Bayes shrinkage is performed, an Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transformation can be used to recover the signal that generated ...
