Based on the fervor and devotion of Virgin Girdle Tortosa—which gained a strong establishment from 17th century onwards—this article explores possibility cause-effect relationship between apparition in cathedral 1178 Marian appendix contained troper-proser E-TO 135 (c. 1228–1264). By comparing narration miracle sequences this appendix, we can verify existence an early incipient veneration—both ...

This paper discusses the investigation of a wearable textile monopole antenna on specific absorption rate (SAR) for bodycentric wireless communication applications at 2.45 GHz. The antenna is characterized on a realistic 8 x 8 x 8 mm resolution truncated Hugo body model in CST Microwave Studio software. The result exhibited that the simulated SAR values were reduced significantly by 83.5% as th...

Cathy Treadaway is the Research Assistant (Textiles) at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff, U.K. and is currently investigating the impact of digital imaging on textile practice for a PhD research project. Trained as a surface pattern and textile designer she has worked digitally since 1982 and was an early exponent of computer-aided surface pattern and textile design within UK art educa...

Keeping the fact in mind that different morphologies have strong influence on piezoelectric properties, ZnO NNs were synthesized on textile for harvesting piezoelectricity. Piezoelectric potential was captured from ZnO NNs grown on textile by using AFM in contact mode. Structural study was carried out by using FESEM, HRTEM and XRD techniques. The recorded output potential and current was more t...

In this study, the ultrasonic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of organics in textile industrial effluent was studied using ZnO nano catalyst, ZnO nano catalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of the catalyst were investigated using scanning election microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray <span id="transma...

Many metallic structural and non-structural parts used in the transportation industry can be replaced by textile-reinforced composites. Composites made from a polymeric matrix and fibrous reinforcement have been increasingly studied during the last decade. On the other hand, the fast development of smart textile structures seems to be a very promising solution for in situ structural health moni...

Increasing demands for wearable energy sources and highly flexible, lightweight photovoltaic devices have stimulated the development of textile-structured solar cells. However, the former approach of wire-type solar cell fabrication, followed by weaving of these devices, has had limited success, due to device failure caused by high friction forces and tension forces during the weaving process. ...

The Turkish textile industry holds a relatively important position in the world and thus plays a major role in Turkey’s exports. Energy consumption is important for the textile industry in Turkey because it is the largest export sector. Energy usage in the textile industry in Turkey is inefficient, and energy consumption has been growing very rapidly due to population growth, rapid urbanization...

BACKGROUND The textile industry is one of the largest employers in Lithuania. IARC monograph concludes that working in the textile manufacturing industry entails exposures that are possibly carcinogenic to humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate risk of lung cancer incidence in textile industry workers by the type of job and evaluate the relation between occupational textile dusts ...
