We present the results of experimental investigation of ultrasonic washing of textiles. The results demonstrate that cavitation bubbles oscillating in acoustic fields are capable of removing soils from textiles. Since the washing performance is mitigated in a large washing bath when using an ultrasonic transducer, we propose a novel washing scheme by combining the ultrasonic vibration with a co...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by intense puritus and skin dryness. The pathogenesis for AD has not been fully understood to date. Complementary therapies are very popular as effective treatment for AD among clinical practitioners. This study presents a comprehensive review of published works associated with textiles-based complementary ther...

In this paper an impulse-based method for cloth simulation is presented. The simulation of cloth is required in different application areas like computer animation, virtual reality or computer games. Simulation methods often assume that cloth is an elastic material. With this assumption the simulation can be performed very efficiently using spring forces. The problem is that many textiles canno...

Abstract In Finland, the earliest remains of a Christian church and cemetery date to Late Iron Age (800–1150/1300 AD) have been excavated in Ravattula Ristimäki, Kaarina, southwestern Finland. this study, seven assumingly plant fibre textile samples from individual inhumation graves were analysed identify their materials. The aim study was investigate possibilities identifying archaeological us...

We show existence and uniqueness of a stationary state for a kinetic Fokker-Planck equation modeling the fibre lay-down process in the production of non-woven textiles. Following a micromacro decomposition, we use hypocoercivity techniques to show exponential convergence to equilibrium with an explicit rate assuming the conveyor belt moves slow enough. This work is an extention of [2], where th...

facilitating the exchange of different experiences of nations which resulted in the growth and development of arts and sciences was one of the most important achievements of the mongols and of interests of their kings. the textile and cloth-weaving industry in the mongol era was not an exception. historical evidences show an increase in the exchange and trade of fabrics and textiles between ira...

Most of the cultural sites hidden under dense vegetation in the mountains of China have been destroyed. In this paper, we present a microtopographic feature analysis (MFA)-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data processing approach and an archaeological pattern-oriented point cloud segmentation (APoPCS) algorithm that we developed for the classification of archaeological objects and terr...

UNLABELLED Integration of electronic elements into textiles, to afford e-textiles, can provide an ideal platform for the development of lightweight, thin, flexible, and stretchable e-textiles. This approach will enable us to meet the demands of the rapidly growing market of wearable-electronics on arbitrary non-conventional substrates. However the actual integration of the e-textiles that under...
