During the solidification, and then cooling, generally a shrinkage gap or mechanical interaction (grip or slip) can occur between the casting and the mold. The character of interaction is decided by the shape of casting. Both these phenomena occur in most real castings. Shrinkage gap, and specifically its width, determines the heat flow between cast and mold, while the mechanical interactions l...

Drug interactions (DIs) constitute a serious problem and are considered to contribute to 6-30% of all adverse events (AEs). The use of existing data, including claims data, is expected to be helpful in detecting unknown DIs by complementing conventional spontaneous reporting systems. In the present study, an 'Ω shrinkage measure' was applied to the Korean National Health claims database to test...

In order to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of plantation Japanese larch wood, various indicators were measured with reference Chinese national standards. The characteristics growth ring on end face wood samples captured, mean latewood percentage being 21.4% width 3.24 mm. Relationships between characteristics, percentages, investigated. results revealed that it is most appropri...

Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) is the main forest species of Algeria occupying more than 35% total area country. However, physicomechanical and thermal characteristics Algerian P. wood are not well-known. This research investigates physical (moisture, density, swelling, shrinkage), mechanical (bending strength modulus elasticity), (mass loss under combustion pyrolysis as well conductivity...

Detecting chaos and estimating the limit of prediction time in heavy-noise environments is an important and challenging task in many areas of science and engineering. An important first step toward this goal is to reduce noise in the signals. Two major types of methods for reducing noise in chaotic signals are chaos-based approaches and wavelet shrinkage. When noise is strong, chaos-based appro...

Cement is proven increasing the strength of soft clays. Monmorillonite has a high shrinkage. Another hand, Kaolin small Waste material usage for stabilization agent was widely carried out this decade. BAFA (bottom ash fly ash) and POFA (palm oil fuel are rich in Silica Alumina, so they used to substitute cement. The study examined effect Monmorillonite, Kaolin, on clay with Bentonite from 4% 16...

The application of the lasso is espoused in high-dimensional settings where only a small number of the regression coefficients are believed to be nonzero (i.e., the solution is sparse). Moreover, statistical properties of high-dimensional lasso estimators are often proved under the assumption that the correlation between the predictors is bounded. In this vein, coordinatewise methods, the most ...
