The proposed procedure to produce low polluting effluent consists of a combination of coagulation-flocculation and membrane separation process. The main role of the coagulation-flocculation process is the simultaneous enhancement of removal efficiency and increase the permeate flux by minimizing the membrane fouling. Membrane fouling has a significant impact on the cost, design, and operation o...

In this study a new approach was proposed to determine optimum parameters of a protective spur dike to mitigate scouring depth amount around existing main spur dikes. The studied parameters were angle of the protective spur dike relative to the flume wall, its length, and its distance from the main spur dikes, flow intensity, and the diameters of the sediment particles that were explored to fin...

The global market for textile industry is highly competitive nowadays. Quality control in production process in textile industry has been a key factor for retaining existence in such competitive market. Automated textile inspection systems are very useful in this respect, because manual inspection is time consuming and not accurate enough. Hence, automated textile inspection systems have been d...

In this chapter we focus on image segmentation techniques for some very special images — textile images. They are generated from the color halftoning technique in textile and printing production lines. In contrast with natural color images, textile images have some very distinctive features: (1) generally there are a few dominant colors in a textile image, whereas there may exist hundreds of si...

From the textile manufacturers’ point of view, coarse and medullated fibers are undesirable in production fine woolen materials, but highly desirable textiles yarns with special effects, especially carpet production. For sustainability, entire sheep fleece should be used, including fibers. The raw wool must scoured to obtain clean without damage or excessive fiber entanglement, a certain moistu...

Results Seven of the 41 patients had positive reactions to textile related allergens on the screening or textile series and five were thought to be work-related. Four patients who were patch test positive with the textile series were also positive to relevant allergens on the screening series. Two patients with work-related textile dermatitis were patch test positive to the textile series but n...
