About fifteen illustrated cloths have been preserved from medieval times in Iceland. One of them is an antependium Svalbarð church on Svalbarðsströnd. The embroidered iconography it believed to depict the story John Apostle, who was patron saint church. Upon closer inspection, cloth appears cut a larger cloth, most likely wall-hanging, order be used as antependium. Moreover, that seems related ...

Diarrhoeal disease is still one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity of children in developing countries. Our objective was to assess the prevalence of diarrhoeal disease among male schoolchildren in Jeddah and to identify the associated risk factors, especially those related to drinking water and sanitation disposal. This cross-sectional study was conducted randomly where self-admini...

Mastitis is the more economically important disease in dairy herds. Costs originated by this disease are not only those related to lost of milk production, treatment of sick animals or culled cows, but also those related with the prevention of this disease. Intramammary infections (IMI) are most of the times caused by infection with bacterial pathogens that could be divided into contagious or e...

Mass Customization may be deployed in many different fashions depends on the nature of product characteristics, market segments, and their respective business environments. General trend shifts from personalize crafted, mass produced, to mass customized products throughout recent decades have evolved to unequal influences on today’s customizable product configurations. Life cycle durations and ...

Phenolic resin-derived activated carbon (AC) cloths are used as electrodes for large scale electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) or supercapacitors. To increase the energy and power density of the supercapacitor, the contact resistance between the carbon cloth and the aluminum foil current collector is reduced by modifying the Al current collectors. Different modified Al current collectors, ...

As both congenital (AVM) and acquired arteriovenous malformations (fistulas) may cause congestive heart failure and aneurysm formation, they should be repaired. The surgicai management of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the surgical division of the fistula and primary repair of the involved artery and vem’ or the ligation of the main feeding and draining vessels.2 The anatomic locati...

Our previous studies have led to a novel "nonrelease" approach to making materials bactericidal by covalently attaching certain moderately hydrophobic polycations to their surfaces. In the present work, this strategy is extended beyond the heretofore-used nonporous materials to include common woven textiles (cotton, wool, nylon, and polyester). Pieces of such cloths derivatized with N-hexylated...

Abstract In this paper, polypyrrole coated conductive fabrics were prepared using pyrrole as the monomer, p-toluene sulfonic acid doping agent and ammonium persulfate oxidant, adopting simple method of situ polymerization liquid phase. Six types polyester-cotton blended fabrics, nylon wool silk basalt aramid fabric respectively base materials same process conditions; its electrical conductivity...

The detection of weapons concealed underneath a person’s cloths is very much important to the improvement of the security of the public as well as the safety of public assets like airports, buildings, and railway stations etc. Manual screening procedure gives unsatisfactory results when the object is not in the range of security personnel and when there is an uncontrolled flow of people. The go...
