BACKGROUND Abnormal scar development following burn injury can cause substantial physical and psychological distress to children and their families. Common burn scar prevention and management techniques include silicone therapy, pressure garment therapy, or a combination of both. Currently, no definitive, high-quality evidence is available for the effectiveness of topical silicone gel or pressu...

the symbolic cultural order becomes manifest through language in the case of texts and narratives and through images in the case of art. knowledge of the elements that compose the symbolic order is an essential analytical tool, above all for comparative studies of art, literature and religion. in this way, many of the symbolic references that exist in each culture can be illuminated by examples...

Recent research works have focused on generating human models and garments from their 2D images. However, state-of-the-art researches focus either only a single layer of the garment model or multiple layers without any guarantee intersection-free geometric relationship between them. In reality, people wear in daily life, where an inner could be partially covered by outer one. this paper, we try...

Based on the application of Laplace's law to compression garments, an equation for predicting garment pressure, incorporating the body circumference, the cross-sectional area of fabric, applied strain (as a function of reduction factor), and its corresponding Young's modulus, is developed. Design procedures are presented to predict garment pressure using the aforementioned parameters for clinic...

India has carved a name for itself as a hub for export oriented garment manufacturing centre globally. Recent reports reveal that garment industry is the largest manufacturing sector in India. The textiles and garments sector alone employed 20% of the workforce in the manufacturing sector. Reports also state that textile industry currently contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production,...

We show that for every separable Banach space X, either SPw(X) (the set of all spreading models of X generated by weakly-null sequences in X, modulo equivalence) is countable, or SPw(X) contains an antichain of the size of the continuum. This answers a question of S. J. Dilworth, E. Odell and B. Sari.

Background: Occupational health problems related to upper limp musculoskeletal disorders were the major issue among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of work related neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Galan City, Oromia Regiona...
