ABSTMCT: Reduction in the requirements for water, energy, and chemicals have been achieved by changes in carpet beck dyeing procedures. Instead of discharging the dyebath following each dye cycle, in the new procedure the spent bath is analyzed, reconstituted to the desired concentration of dyes and auxiliary chemicals, and reused. Bench scale dyeings were conducted initially to define operat...

Cellular automata are used for designing highperformance applications in many areas. This paper describes CARPET, a high-level programming language based on the cellular automata model. CARPET is a programming language designed to support the development of parallel high performance software. It exploits the computing power of a highly parallel computer releasing a user from using explicit para...

This study describes the temporal and spatial variability of bacterial communities within a combined sewer system in England. Sampling was conducted over 9 months in a sewer system with intensive monitoring of hydraulic conditions. The bacterial communities were characterized by 16S rRNA gene-targeted terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. These data were related to the hyd...

The lattice fractal Sierpinski carpet and the percolation theory are applied to develop a new random stock price for the financial market. Percolation theory is usually used to describe the behavior of connected clusters in a random graph, and Sierpinski carpet is an infinitely ramified fractal. In this paper, we consider percolation on the Sierpinski carpet lattice, and the corresponding finan...

Visual-spatial impairment is a fundamental disorder in cerebral palsy (CP). However, current spatial testing is restricted to reaching space, whereas navigational space is seldom assessed. The Magic Carpet test, derived from the Corsi Block-tapping Task (CBT) for visual-spatial memory, is a new developmental test for navigation. The performances of the Magic Carpet test and CBT were assessed in...

42-year-old woman experienced an acute asthma attack, seizures, and unconsciousness immediately after a carpet-cleaning and deodorizing job was conducted in her home. Exposure modeling estimates that she was exposed to approximately 3.4-17 mg/m(3) of sodium tripolyphosphate and more than 14 mg/m(3) volatile organic compounds immediately after the cleaning. I derived two separate exposure models...

Three typical kinds of building materials (painted drywall, ceiling tile, and carpet) have been tested to study the effects of environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity) on the sorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by building materials. It was found that the effects of environmental conditions on sorption were insignificant for the painted drywall due t...

in this paper the sociological approach of janet wolff and john thompson is used to identify and interpret the relationship between the evolution of persian carpet and its social context. the social context includes socio-economic, ideologican and political conditions surronding this evolution. to study persian carpet from the pazric rug from its initiation to the present time, based on numorou...

persian carpet weaving is one of iran’s most famous industries that has attracted the world’s attention to persian arts through the centuries. what above all, have given prominence to persian carpet as a beautiful work of art are the pattern and its composition in a two-dimensional space. the diversity of patterns, use of deep and beautiful colors, good composition, harmony of colors, delicate ...
