In medical institutions, the high weight of shielding clothing restrains activities workers. Although lightweight is being manufactured to solve this problem, can only be reduced by 10%–20%. Flexible fibers are mainly used minimize activity restrictions; however, it difficult maintain reproducibility performance. When weaving with a yarn that contains material, content material in yarn, tensile...

Spyn is a system for knitters to record, recall, and share information surrounding the process of handcraft. Using the yarn as a timeline of a knit's creation, Spyn allows knitters to associate digital annotations to knit yarn. The current prototype uses patterns of infrared ink printed on yarn in combination with computer vision techniques to associate locations in knit fabric with audio and v...

Physical properties of cotton yarns are affected by the characteristics of cotton fibers such as fineness, length, maturity and strength. This relationship has been worked out by means of multivariable regression and stepwise method for an open-end spun (NeC 20) cotton yarn. Moreover, with the help of linear programming, it was made possible to determine the percentage of different cottons in t...

In the absence of atomic structures of high-density lipoproteins in their lipid-bound states, many molecular models have been produced based on experimental data. Using molecular dynamics, we show that a recently proposed "solar-flares" model of discoidal high-density lipoprotein is implausible. Our simulations show a collapse of the protruding solar-flare loops and a notable protein rearrangem...

This article presents a comparative analysis of the properties cotton yarn spun on aerodynamic compact spinning and open-end rotor systems. Yarn samples with linear density 50 Tex, 37 30 25 20 Tex were both systems using same finisher drawn sliver medium staple which produced by specific mixing. The quality parameters such as mass variation, imperfection index, hairiness, tensile behavior (stre...

Cloth is an important material to model and simulate correctly, both in computer graphics and other industrial applications. The commonly used models for cloth in computer graphics typically approximate the cloth as an elastic sheet with linear isotropic behavior inspired by the construction of woven fabrics. However, they do a poor job of predicting the behavior of knits, which are driven by t...
