Adult male test subjects (n = 16) were assigned to one of three clothing configurations (Army fatigues, fatigues with impermeable chemical protective garments, and fatigues with protective garments plus protective masks) prior to exercise (level treadmill, 1.11 m/s, 50 min/h, 6 h) in a moderate (wet bulb globe temperature, WBGT = 23 degrees C) environment with ad lib water consumption. When pro...

Clothing is as essential to a person food and shelter. The textile industry India's second largest industry. Customers are paying close attention clothing, which has become tool for people express their individuality. To be effective in today's competitive industry, it comprehend what buyers desire want. This study aims determine how purchase branded apparel variables influence purchases Himach...

Cleanroom garments are used to control the airborne dispersion of contamination from people into cleanroom. The effectiveness garment in controlling is a function fabric and design garments, test methods ascertain discussed this article. These can be when choosing for use cleanroom but were article determine deterioration through use. subjected increasing numbers decontamination cycles, which i...

Improving the reusability of design results is very important for garment design industry, since designing an elegant garment is usually labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present a new approach for customizing 3D garment models. Our approach can transfer garment models initially dressed on a reference human model onto a target human model. To achieve this goal, firstly a spa...

To provide insight into cloth perception and manipulation with an active binocular robotic vision system, we compiled a database of 80 stereo-pair colour images with corresponding horizontal and vertical disparity maps and mask annotations, for 3D garment point cloud rendering has been created and released. The stereo-image garment database is part of research conducted under the EU-FP7 Clothes...

BACKGROUND The role of clothing in the management of eczema (also called atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema) is poorly understood. This trial evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of silk garments (in addition to standard care) for the management of eczema in children with moderate to severe disease. METHODS AND FINDINGS This was a parallel-group, randomised, controlled, observer...

BACKGROUND Compression garments are thought to aid performance in some selected speed-power activities owing to improved sensory feedback and proprioception. The aim of this study was to test the effects of using compression garments on speed and power-related performances in elite sprinters with visual impairment, who rely more on proprioception to perform than their Olympic peers. Eight top-l...

Robotic manipulation of deformable objects is a difficult problem especially because of the complexity of the many different ways an object can deform. Searching such a high dimensional state space makes it difficult to recognize, track, and manipulate deformable objects. In this paper, we introduce a predictive, model-driven approach to address this challenge, using a pre-computed, simulated d...

The purpose of this study was to determine the thermoregulatory response to, perceived comfort and moisture management properties of, base-layer garments during intermittent treadmill exercise in controlled laboratory conditions. Seven males performed an intermittent treadmill protocol whilst wearing a base-layer hot garment, base-layer cold garment, a 100% cotton t-shirt and bare-chested. Envi...
