Geological and geochemical evidence from previous studies suggest limited fluid flow through the interiors of many blocks of subducted oceanic crust within meta-ultramafic or metasedimentary mélange matrix on the islands of Syros and Tinos, Cyclades, Greece. This finding is provocative because metamorphic devolatilization of igneous and sedimentary rocks during subduction should have liberated ...

Merchant, J. A., Lumsden, J. C., Kilburn, K. H., Germino, V. H., Hamilton, J. D., Lynn, W. S., Byrd, H., and Baucom, D. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 237-247. Preprocessing cotton to prevent byssinosis. A fundamental approach of cleaning or deactivating cotton prior to manufacturing has long been advocated to prevent byssinosis, but no trial had been conducted to test the ...

Garments washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels which have vital use to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically washing is one of the most important fashion elements for clothing industry and production of washed garments depends on the machine quality. In order to achieve an optimum effect of washing process, on the woven fabric...

Damping is a critical phenomenon in determining the dynamic behavior of animated objects. For yarn-level cloth models, setting the correct damping behavior is particularly complicated, because common damping models in computer graphics do not account for the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian discretization of efficient yarn-level models. In this paper, we show how to derive a damping model for yarn-lev...

This paper presents the main characteristics and functionalities of a system based on image processing techniques applied to quality assessment of yarns. In Textile Industry we used image processing to determine yarn mass parameters as well as yarn production characteristics. A low cost solution based on a web-pc camera plus the optics of a low cost analogue microscope and a software tool based...
