The field of cloth-modeling has been widely investigated during the last decade. Many solutions have been proposed for the different aspects related to that field, ranging from fast cloth integration methods to complex collision handling. However, it is still challenging to perform simulations in real-time without compromise. In this thesis, we base our work on fast collision detection methods ...

in the two issues (no 26 & 27) we gave a brief knowledge about the influence of electromagnetic fields on human beings. to protect against headache, insomnie, tiredness, and heart troubles, special metallized cloth is discribed, the efficiency of the metallized cloth and other protectives in u. h. v , finally is discussed.

This paper introduces a new technique to synthesize dexterous manipulation of cloth. Given a simple description of the desired cloth motion, our algorithm computes appropriate joint torques for physically simulated hands, such that, via contact forces, the result of cloth simulation follows the desired motion. Instead of optimizing the hand control forces directly, we formulate an optimization ...

OBJECTION The aim of this study is to determine the effect of clothing and the environment on human exposure to ultraviolet light. METHODS The ultraviolet (ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B) light intensity was measured, and air quality parameters were recorded in 2014 in Beijing, China. Three types of clothing (white polyester cloth, pure cotton white T-shirt, and pure cotton black T-shirt) we...

Preparation of silver nanoparticle by using leaf extracts of Terminalia catappa, its deposition on Nylon fabrics, and the modification with an addition of HDTMS have been conducted in this research. The samples prepared in this study were nylon cloth (N0), nylon cloth silver nanoparticles (N1), Nylon cloth HDTMS (N2), Nylon cloth − silver nanoparticles − HDTMS (N3), and Nylon cloth HDTMS silver...

Stone bark cloth beaters are considered part of the archaeological package that is considered to be associated with the Austronesian expansion from southern China across the Pacific. Here, we present evidence from the Dingmo Site in Bubing basin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China of a bark cloth beater excavated in situ from a stratigraphic layer AMS dated to 7898 ± 34 BP. Based on curr...

Responses of host-seeking nymphs of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say and lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus) (Acari: Ixodidae) to the repellents N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) and (1S, 2'S)-2-methylpiperidinyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxamide (SS220) were studied using fingertip laboratory bioassays. Ethanol solutions of both compounds applied to the skin strongly repell...

In order to produce convincing renders of woven cloth, it is not only necessary to properly simulate the physics of cloth, but also its texture. Because cloth often consists of very specular fibers, exhibits both smalland large-scale detail, and is modulated by view and light directions in an unusual manner, it is very hard to simulate with simple texture maps. Moreover, it is currently infeasi...
