Measurements of the proximity of resected tumour to the tumour margins may be affected by tissue
shrinkage, and this may be a factor in treatment recommendations and prognosis.
The unit volumetric
shrinkage and contraction of the axes were determined by randomly selecting 18 safflower grains, which were individually dried.

Shrinkage Porosity," Proceedings of the 57th SFSA Technical and Operating Conference, Paper Nr.
A final measurement smaller than the original measurement results in a negative dimension change that is
shrinkage. A final measurement larger than the original measurement results in a positive dimensional change which is growth.
Three key mixture parameters, namely, water/binder ratio, cement content, and silica fume content, were considered with their three levels of variation for studying the effect of these mixture parameters on the
shrinkage of a total of 27 RPC mixtures as per 33 factorial experiment design.
This article first establishes the phenomenology of
shrinkage during molding, and then develops a simple nonviscoelastic model that accounts for temperature and pressure gradients during molding.
The main goals when designing a system are castings without
shrinkage defects and economic production that maximizes casting yield.
Generally, high cement content and OPS percentage in OPSC are key reasons for its high value of drying
shrinkage. Therefore, one of the effective methods to control the drying
shrinkage of OPSC is reduction of the volume of OPS aggregate in the concrete mixture [26].
The
shrinkage mechanisms of UHPFRC in different conditions were investigated by varying the curing conditions.
MasterFiber microfibers are F 70, a fibrillated product for
shrinkage and temperature reinforcement; F 100, an enhanced fibrillated polypropylene product geared for
shrinkage and temperature reinforcement; M 100, a high-tensile strength, high modulus of elasticity, ultra-thin monofilament homopolymer polypropylene product; plus, M 35 and M 70, monofilament polypropylene fibers engineered to reduce plastic
shrinkage cracking.--BASF Construction Chemicals/Admixture Systems, 800/628-9990; www.master-builders-solutions.basf.us
As a rule, the
shrinkage along with creep strains is taken into account for the long-term analysis of the cross-section.
The restrained ring test has recently become a well-accepted method to assess a mixture's susceptibility to restrained
shrinkage cracking [5-7].
