Textile-based wearable sensors integrated into daily wear offer opportunities for on-demand, real-time self-diagnosis to monitor health conditions with changing environmental surroundings and hazards. One still underrated hazard is accumulated UV irradiation, causing skin burns, accelerated aging, cancers. Here, we have demonstrated a sustainable fiber manufacture process integrate photochromic...

Accelerometer-based human activity recognition (HAR) wearable systems are location-centric and noisy, needing multiple sensors with complex signal processing filtering mechanisms. A recently reported alternative approach using a suspender integrated strain machine learning presented viable option for non-localized measurement less noise better capabilities. The washability wearability of the se...

In early 1976, the novel A/New Jersey/76 (Hsw1N1) influenza virus caused severe respiratory illness in 13 soldiers with 1 death at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Since A/New Jersey was similar to the 1918-1919 pandemic virus, rapid outbreak assessment and enhanced surveillance were initiated. A/New Jersey virus was detected only from January 19 to February 9 and did not spread beyond Fort Dix. A/Victori...

Here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (TEA) and zinc acetate. The ZnO nano particles (NPs) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °C for 1 h. The synthesis of nano ZnO particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern...

This study investigated the effects of a SNP in the myostatin gene (MSTN or growth differentiation factor 8, GDF8) on birth, growth, carcass, and beef quality traits in Australia (Aust.) and New Zealand (NZ). The SNP is a cytosine to adenine transversion in exon 1, causing an amino acid substitution of leucine for phenylalanine(94) (F94L). The experiment used crosses between the Jersey and Limo...

AbstrAct A Web-based fabric database is introduced in terms of its physical structure, software system architecture , basic and intelligent search engines, and various display methods for search results. A fuzzy linear clustering method is used to predict fabric drape coefficient from fabric mechanical and structural properties. Experimental data indicate that fuzzy linear clustering is quite e...

The objective of fabric inspection is to ascertain whether the fabric received is of expected Quality standard or not. The main objective is detection of fabric defects as early as possible so that time and money are not wasted in the manufacturing, process. The ultimate goal of any quality control activity in clothing' industry is to satisfy the customers. Most defects in cloth occur while it ...
