INTRODUCTION: Textile industry (and especially its part focused on the dyeing process) belongs among important sources of contamination responsible for the continuous pollution of the environment. The production of textile industry, as well as the volume of waste water containing processed textile dyes, steadily increases. The release of dyes into the environment constitutes only a small propor...

The frequencies of chromosomal aberrations were determined using lymphocytes of non-smokers and smokers working in textile dye industry. We analyzed 52 workers exposed to complex chemical mixtures and 25 individuals selected as a control group in the same area not working in the textile dye industry. Cytogenetic monitoring of human population exposed to chemicals has proved to be useful for det...

Technologically-friendly and user-friendly textile products, which can make daily life more convenient and comfortable, are progressively popular in modern society. Going along with the advanced development of innovative technology, textile clothing is no longer only used as body shielding for protection, warmth keeping at cold weather and aesthetic enhancing for fashion design. Furthermore, it...

World textile fiber demand was 89.8 million tons in 2015 and is expected to grow to 93.7 million tons in 2016. Global demand for textile fibers is driven by population growth and by economic activity resulting in increasing wealth, particularly in emerging economies. While this overall trend is consistent across most major fibers, there are substantial disparities in the demand patterns of natu...

From decades Creep has been known and studied for textile materials. In comparison, a newly observed phenomenon of inverse creep seems not to have received much attention. A new instrument has been fabricated to measure creep and inverse creep in textile materials particularly yarns. Creep and Inverse creep measurements of few of the textile yarns like nylon multifilament yarn, Polyester multif...

E-textile technology is rapidly progressing, allowing for the development of truly wearable computers as well as very large-scale computing textiles. Efficient development of applications on etextiles will require significant software services support. This paper analyzes two representative e-textile applications for their software service requirements. Based on this analysis, three services pa...

The textile plot is a parallel coordinate plot in which the ordering, locations and scales of the axes are simultaneously chosen so that the connecting lines, each of which represents a case, are aligned as horizontally as possible. Plots of this type can accommodate numerical data as well as ordered or unordered categorical data, or a mixture of these different data types. Knots and parallel w...

In order to reduce their stock, to avoid ruptures and to direct their marketing policies, textile companies must improve their supply chain management. This organization requires forecasting systems adapted to the uncertain environment of the textile field. Taking into account also delivery constraints, textile distribution need mean-term forecasting (one season) in order to launch new producti...

In this paper, we propose a new visual inspection method of defect detection on textile surfaces; selectively removing the textural information from textile surfaces. For this purpose we use Wavelet Shrinkage, which was originally proposed by Donoho & Johnstone as a method to remove Gaussian white noise. We also propose a modification of Wavelet Shrinkage to selectively remove textural informat...
