Abstract The fatigue of running sportswear is reflected in the caused by tightness tights on skin surface limbs, trunk, and other parts during long-term sports. However, current research not deep enough. Therefore, purpose this study to mechanism based BP neural network. This article first takes as starting point uses myoelectricity index a physiological quantity means combine clothing with spo...

Emerging computer technology, including an infrastructure for virtual enterprises and more capable apparel product development software, is providing an opportunity to reinvent how apparel is produced. The development of an information-rich and unambiguous garment product model would help realize this opportunity. This product model would improve the effectiveness of product development softwar...

The growing accessibility of internet service, especially in the Internet Plus era, supported mass customization in the apparel industry. As mass customization emphasize on providing individually-designed products and services to meet every customer requirement, the advanced Internet-based service systems help achieve high process flexibility and integration. In this paper, we studied the trian...

This paper addresses the reliability analysis for a real-world apparel manufacturing system by using fuzzy mathematics. The studied apparel manufacturing system is a precise handicraft profession which involves a great amount of labor-intensive processes. To consider human performance, the apparel manufacturing system is constructed as a fuzzy multistate network, termed apparel manufacturing ne...

The theory of compensatory consumption suggests that a possible lack of traditional avenues for fulfilling needs for social status may lead ethnic minorities to shift measures of social status from traditional indicators such as occupational prestige to consumption indicators of status conveying goods. In this study we investigate whether a household’s ethnic identity affects its budget allocat...

Using frequent state and local policy revisions of apparel tax exemptions in Connecticut, New York and Vermont, I study how the sales tax affects the retail market for apparel. First, I present new evidence on the effect of the sales tax on pre-tax prices, the pass-through rate. Unlike the previous literature on this topic, I employ detailed item-level data on prices, use large good-specific ch...

Traditionally, the athletic shoe has not been regarded as a piece of protective equipment but rather as a part of the uniform, with a primary focus on performance and subjective feedback measures of comfort. Changes in turf and shoe design have poorly understood implications on the health and safety of pl...

Specifically, the apparel imports of the top five members of EU; namely, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain, amounted to US$ 91 billion, accounting for 71% of the regoin’s total ...

A fuzzy-control-based Quick Response (QR) reorder scheme for seasonal apparel is being developed. The fuzzy-control scheme uses Mamdani inference logic. A stochastic computer simulation model of the apparel-retailing process is employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme vis-a-vis that of existing approaches. Background “Quick Response” (QR) for apparel retailing refers to the a...
