Smarten up garments through knitting

Knitting up the ravelled sleeve of care: sleep and psychosis.

Sleep problems are pervasive in people with schizophrenia. There is a strong documented link between insomnia and psychosis symptoms, and longitudinal studies suggest that insomnia predicts new episodes of paranoia. We cannot assume that standard interventions for insomnia will be successful in psychosis and no trial of such interventions in psychosis has been done. On this basis, Daniel Freema...

Quantum Knitting

We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of c...

Knitting up 2,7-disubstituted carbazole based oligomers through supramolecular interactions for their application in organic thin film transistors.

For the design and development of organic electronic devices, the main focus is particularly on the synthesis of new organic semiconductors and dielectric materials. Molecular engineering is another effective strategy, in this direction which has been explored successfully in this study through synthesis of a π-conjugated oligomer CbzTPAU2, with Mw = 2169. This bow shaped oligomer has its core ...

Constructive Knitting for Children

Knitting a 3D Model

A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting pattern from a given 3D surface model (mainly designed for rotund animal models). A knitting pattern is an instructional diagram describing how to knit yarn to obtain a desired shape. Since the creation of knitting pa...
