Our country’s textile industry is in the producing and processing field in the global value chain, so textiles’ added value is low and profit margins is narrow. Developed countries take up fields of high-grade fabrics production and advanced textile machinery manufacture. Because textile fabrics, textile machinery and equipment of China's textile industry fall behind developed countries, produc...

Applying Kansei Engineering in fabric design requires the establishment of a common research platform in a design respect of view that involves both subjects. This platform can help designers investigate the methods to increase the added value of fabrics, and provides theories, techniques, and basis for designing. Kansei, which used to be considered as qualitative, immeasurable, irrational, and...

The Arctic Switch Fabric technology is a scalable network technology based on the Arctic router chip. Switch Fabrics are fat tree networks that are capable of providing high performance even under a heavy load of large (96 byte) packets. They have a number of diagnostic features that make them well suited for experimental computer systems. Switch Fabrics will be used in the StarT-Jr, StarT-Voya...

Air-jet-textured polyester yarns were produced using two feed yarns differing in filament fineness and number of filaments. By varying the yarn overfeed, filament fineness and air pressure, four textured yarns were produced. Woven fabrics were prepared using these textured yarns as weft and cotton yarns in warp. To study the effect of air-jet-texturing parameters on the bending and compression ...

Noh is a Japanese historical play lasted for 600 years and Noh costumes are precious cultural heritage and are made of specially woven silk fabrics. The reflectance of such fabric surface is commonly represented by a large-scale of bidirectional texture function (BTF) from measured data by a gonioreflectometer with 2 degrees of freedom of the light source and 2 degrees of freedom of the observi...

100% grey cotton knitted fabric contains impurities and yellowness and needs to be prepared for processing to make it suitable for coloration and finishing. Therefore, conventionally 100% grey cotton knitted fabric undergoes a process of scouring and bleaching, which involves the use of large amounts of water and chemicals, in order to remove impurities and yellowness. Due to increased environm...

The denim is a fabric woven from coarse indigo dyed warp and grey un-dyed weft yarn. Denim fabric is hard-wearing and has high density with a high mass per unit area and a 3/1 or 2/1-twill weaves construction. It is comfortable, fashionable, affordable, durable and a popular clothing material. Nowadays, the stretchable denims are in fashion due to its comfort fit and flexibility. These fabrics ...

In this paper the effect of whiteness attribute of white substrates on blackness property of black coated fabrics is investigated. To this aim, four cotton fabrics with different whiteness and tint attributes are used as white substrates. To prepare a set of black samples, various concentrations of four color pigments, i.e., red, green, blue and yellow, were mixed with the black one and applied...

The highly automated configuration of large scale computing fabrics increasingly exploits declarative representations of the fabric’s intended state. We examine three languages for expressing these representations: LCFG, Pan and SmartFrog. We give examples of their use and examine which language properties are of particular relevance to the configuration of grid computing fabrics.

Bioceramic fabrics have been claimed to improve blood circulation, thermoregulation and muscle relaxation, thereby also improving muscular activity. Here we tested whether bioceramic fabrics have an effect on postural control and contribute to improve postural stability. In Experiment 1, we tested whether bioceramic fabrics contribute to reduce body-sway when maintaining standard standing postu...
