A large case-control study of bladder cancer (2982 cases; 5782 controls) included information about occupational exposure to leather. Occupational histories of exposed white study subjects were reviewed and 150 were determined to have had "true" on the job exposure to leather. The odds ratio estimate (OR) of bladder cancer associated with such exposure in white subjects (n = 8063) was 1.4 (95% ...

Surface charge and isoelectric point of leather play an important role in the production of leather. However, a precise and rapid method for the determination of leather surface charge and isoelectric point is unavailable nowadays due to the complexity of the structure of leather, especially for chromefree tanned leather. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a quantitative determination method...

The non-homogeneity in mass and geometrical parameters of leather one type manufacturing method is experimentally investigated analyzed. Experimental studies were conducted on semi-finished cattle products a combined batch chrome kips from technological batch. results the experiments showed that with batch, between thickness product, there moderate correlation studied physical average error coe...

(w ww .m ed kn ow .co m) . shoes and to the inner surface of the sandal strap of the third volunteer. The pieces were left in place for one week during which period, the volunteers used the shoes routinely. A small piece of leather 1 x 1 cm in size was removed after one week from each of the six pieces and subjected to spot testing with DPC. Of these six pieces of leather, all the leather piece...

Full grain leather refers to the strongest and most durable part of cattle hide, consisting layer underlying corium, has not been sanded or buffed remove any imperfections, that means it displays more natural characteristics leather. Leather quality changes with sampling location, depending on variation present in fibrous structure. properties were also affected by tanning finishing processes u...

The visual appearance of seamless dyed edges of luxury leather goods represents a key issue in terms of quality grading since a high-quality leather has to be characterized by homogeneously coloured and shaped edges with uniform ink thickness. Despite a huge literature produced by scientific and technical community to automate many leather manufacturing processes, since leather patches are ofte...

In order to detect the defects in the leather sample in an automated way, the image of the leather sample has to be captured properly. To properly capture the images of the leather sample, we have implemented an auto exposure algorithm based on false position method which is discussed in this paper. This algorithm can also be used to properly expose the natural scenes
