MOTIVATION High-dimensional data such as microarrays have created new challenges to traditional statistical methods. One such example is on class prediction with high-dimension, low-sample size data. Due to the small sample size, the sample mean estimates are usually unreliable. As a consequence, the performance of the class prediction methods using the sample mean may also be unsatisfactory. T...

We present a novel approach for online shrinkage functions learning in single image super-resolution. The proposed approach leverages the classical Wavelet Shrinkage denoising technique where a set of scalar shrinkage functions is applied to the wavelet coefficients of a noisy image. In the proposed approach, a unique set of learned shrinkage functions is applied to the overcomplete representat...

The conventional linear adaptive filters are not effective for discriminating the transient wideband signal components from noise. A recently developed wavelet shrinkage approach is able to maintain the function local regularity while suppressing noise however, it has only been used in function estimation problems. In this paper, a new type of nonlinear filtering method for adaptive noise suppr...

A constitutive model is derived from theory of elasticity for predicting ultimate drying shrinkage of concrete. The model was extended by incorporating the semiempirical composite model proposed by Hirsch and Dougill for predicting Young's modulus of concrete. Their composite model is the geometric mean of Paul's upper and lower limit boundaries of a twophase composite. According to the shrinka...

Shrinkage is a well known and appealing denoising technique. The use of shrinkage is known to be optimal for Gaussian white noise, provided that the sparsity on the signal’s representation is enforced using a unitary transform. Still, shrinkage is also practiced successfully with non-unitary, and even redundant representations. In this paper we shed some light on this behavior. We show that sim...

Preventing plastic shrinkage cracks improves the durability of concrete. This is because serve as pathways by which corroding agents can penetrate Freshly cast concrete a saturated mixture reactive and non-reactive materials. As water moves out mass used in hydration process, free reduces. Eventually, be considered to unsaturated. In this research project, viability using soil content sensors m...

Dental polymers are primarily used in restorative dentistry and must serve both cosmetic and functional purposes. They must be adaptable for easy forming and final cure by simple techniques and equipment available in a dental laboratory or dentist’s office. The final prosthetic device must fit exactly in spite of shrinkage due to polymerization and high coefficients of expansion. The plastic mu...

Injection molding is an advantageous technology for the mass production of plastic parts without necessity additional procedures. The applicability this method still partially limited by required properties manufactured parts. Especially in field optics, there a need to produce thick-walled while maintaining their transparency. This paper reports on how various shapes gating systems affected pr...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the shrinkage-strain, degree of conversion (DC) and percent filler of a range of flowable resin-composites. METHODS Several commercially available flowable resin-composites were selected. The bonded-disk technique was used to measure shrinkage-strain kinetics. Measurements were obtained continuously for 60min by irradiation for 40s at 750mW/cm(2) at two initial temperat...
