Rapid manufactured textiles

Rapid Manufacturing (RM) is increasingly becoming a viable manufacturing process due to dramatic advantages that are achievable in the area of design complexity. Through the exploration of the design freedom, this paper introduces the concept of manufacturing textiles for potential smart and high performance textile applications. This paper discusses the current limitations associated with the ...

Respiratory effects of manufactured nanoparticles.

Nanotechnology is the set of techniques used to engineer, characterize, and produce materials that have at least one dimension within the nanoscale. These nanomaterials, or nanoobjects, include nanoparticles and nanotubes. As dictated by the laws of quantum physics, a size within the nanoscale results in unique physicochemical properties and distinctive behaviors. Nanotechnology has a host of a...

Development dilemmas and manufactured hazards

EVELOPMENT PROJECTS go in di erent directions and each one presents its own dilemmas. Contradictory perceptions and practices have various consquences for the people a ected, for better or worse. Researching development is therefore crucial to deepen understanding of the risks associated with di erent strategies and the complexity of development paths. Sociologist Ulrich Bech developed the conc...

Testing the Quality of Manufactured

We consider the problem of testing the roundness of a manufactured object using the nger probing model of Cole and Yap 2]. When the object being tested is a disk and it's center is known, we describe a procedure which uses O(n) probes and O(n) computation time. (Here n = j1=qj, where q is the quality of the object.) When the center of the object is not known, a procedure using O(n) probes and O...
