While the use of protective clothing has been shown to reduce the risk of injury for motorcycle riders, not all protective clothing performs the same in crashes. A European standard for motorcycle protective clothing (EN13595) was released in 2002. Riders that use clothing approved to this Standard should expect good protection. This standard specifies four zones in motorcycle clothing with dif...

With the popularization of network and the development of information technology, as a new mode of marketing, network marketing has been accepted by the majority of consumers, and applied rapidly to the field of clothing marketing. This paper describes the present situation of China clothing industry network marketing at first. Then it points out the advantages and disadvantages of network mark...

Recently, product images have gained increasing attention in clothing recommendation since the visual appearance of clothing products has a significant impact on consumers’ decision. Most existing methods rely on conventional features to represent an image, such as the visual features extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNN features) and the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm (...

Loose clothing has a complicated shape, due to the folds that are generated over its surface. In many cases, these patterns of folds can be predicted from buckling theory. Previous work has shown that the shading pattern of these individual folds can be learned and marked in an image using techniques that are robust to the eeects of diiuse interreeections. In this paper, we demonstrate a progra...

Often with minimally clothed figures depicting extreme body sizes, previous studies have shown women tend to gaze at evolutionary determinants of attractiveness when viewing female bodies, possibly for self-evaluation purposes, and their gaze distribution is modulated by own body dissatisfaction level. To explore to what extent women's body-viewing gaze behaviour is affected by clothing type, d...

The beneficial effect of clothing on a person is important to the criteria for people exposure to radiant heat flux from fires. The thermal protective performance of multilayer thermal protective clothing exposed to low heat fluxes during dry and wet conditions was studied using two designed bench-scale test apparatus. The protective clothing with four fabric layers (outer shell, moisture barri...

Currently two barriers exist that sabotage clothing semantic parsing research: existing methods are time-consuming and the lack of large publicly available dataset that enables parsing at multiple scales. To mitigate these two dilemmas, we hereby embrace deep learning method and design a lightweight multi-scale inception neural network which is at both inside and outside multi-scale inception d...

The antimicrobial impregnation of products used everyday, such as surfaces, textiles and clothing - including those used in hospitals - is increasing. In view of potential toxic and environmental risks for users and patients, a careful risk-benefit assessment must be conducted for each newly developed product impregnated or coated with antimicrobial agents, prior to marketing and manufacture.It...
