Among the hand woven sarees of India, Paithani is famous and has played a significant role in weaving together the socio-cultural fabric of Maharashtra since it is traditionally a part of the trousseau of every Maharashtra bride. The aim of the study was to document the existing weaving traditions of Paithani and explore the possibility of weaving Paithani as a yardage with different product la...

The basic assumption in model engineering (MDE) is to consider models as first class entities. One of the most important kinds of models in MDE approaches are transformation models. Transformation models define operations between different models. However, there are many operations that are not efficiently handled by generic model transformations. For example, models transformations are not ada...

Run-time weaving of distributed aspects, if performed without any support for atomicity, endangers the global behavioral integrity of the application. Existing aspect-oriented middleware supports runtime weaving of distributed aspects, without addressing this problem. This inherently limits the type of behavioral changes that can be performed at run-time. This paper presents a model and an arch...

In this paper we briefly introduce an aspect language that can define cross-cutting effects on a set of UML 2.0 sequence diagrams. Our main contribution is to weave aspects and sequence diagrams at the model level. By basing the weaving upon a formal trace model for sequence diagrams, we ensure that the weaving is semantics-based. To avoid the intractability of working on complete trace sets, w...

A collaborative research programme between University of Bolton and Bradford University is investigating the effect of surplus carpet fibres on the strength as well as other important geotechnical properties of cohesive soils. Initial work concentrates on the manner in which the fibres affect the quick undrained properties of the reinforced soil. Four different surplus carpet fibre types are be...

A participatory environmental management plan was prepared for Tuzla Lake, Turkey. Fuzzy cognitive mapping approach was used to obtain stakeholder views and desires. Cognitive maps were prepared with 44 stakeholders (villagers, local decisionmakers, government and non-government organization (NGO) officials). Graph theory indices, statistical methods and "What-if" simulations were used in the a...

Children are employed in different industries throughout the world. In Kashmir they work mostly in proliferating handicraft centres in both the public and private sectors such as carpet weaving, shawl making, wood carving, and embroidery. They are compelled to work in unhygienic conditions in propped up squatting positions for a nominal stipend, thus tempting young school age girls to join thes...

The major developments in weaving machinery are highlighted. The maximum weft insertion rates achieved by the various shullleless weaving systems along with their application potential are described. Microprocessors have been recognized as an inseparable part of all modem weaving machines. The increased importance of versatility over productivity is highlighted keeping in view the present trend...

The purpose of quantization of a probability distribution is to estimate the probability by a discrete probability with finite support. In this paper, a nonhomogeneous probability measure P on R which has support the Sierpiński carpet generated by a set of four contractive similarity mappings with equal similarity ratios has been considered . For this probability measure, the optimal sets of n-...

Article Submission For inclusion in Hyperseeing, authors are invited to email articles for the preceding categories to: Articles should be a maximum of eight pages. Plain weaving is one of the most beautiful and widely used geometric forms. In plain weaving, a set of distinct threads (or yarns) are interlaced with each other to form a fabric or cloth where each thread crosses the other threads ...
