In the present work the reflection behavior and the color appearance of acrylic yarns, as pile yarns used in carpet and pilled fabrics, are considered along their lengths as well as their cross- sections. Differences between longitudinal and cross-sectional reflection behaviors of yarns are measured in different yarn densities and hues and explained by the geometric model. The results of experi...

Three popular 100% cotton knitted fabrics, (plain single-jersey, 1x1 rib and interlock) were subjected to five cycles of four different washing and drying regimes. This was in order to investigate the effect of laundering with detergent as opposed to water, and tumble drying against line drying. The main aim of this work was to systematically investigate the effect of the principal washing and ...

Membrane deformation is a necessary step in a number of cellular processes such as filopodia and invadopodia formation and has been shown to involve membrane shaping proteins containing membrane binding domains from the IRSp53-MIM protein family. In reconstituted membranes the membrane shaping domains can efficiently deform negatively charged membranes into tubules without any other proteins pr...

Wearable thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered as a promising power supply for low wearable electronics. To obtain high (TE) generation, the focus should be on two main factors, including TE materials and configurations of legs. Concerning these this paper provides comprehensive review recent studies TEGs. In general, can classified into three categories, inorganic, organic, hybrid (i...

Abstract Yarn-shaped supercapacitors (YSCs) are becoming promising energy-supply units with decent mechanical flexibility to be integrated into e-textiles in various shapes and locations. However, a robust YSC configuration that can provide long-term reliable power output, especially after rigorous weaving knitting processes, as well all kinds of end uses, is yet established. Most YSCs today st...

With the deep development and application of Internet technology, data need to be processed more and more, when dealing with large amounts of data. Spark is a versatile high-performance and parallel computing framework, which can be applied to data mining. This paper is based on the parallelization of platforms’ K-means algorithm, by building a YARN cluster environment and making experiments to...

Advances in cell biology and tissue engineering rely heavily on performing 2D cell culture experiments. Analysis of these is conventionally done with 2D imaging techniques such as light (LM) or electron microscopy (SEM), since they are readily available. Cells, however, might act significantly differently when cultured in 2D or 3D environments. In order to analyse cells in a 3D arrangement, new...
