background: according to the recent studies, the antibacterial activities of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) were studied on gram-positive staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative escherichia coli. in this study antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles that used for coating textiles, on e.coli and s.aureus was investigated. methods: silver nanoparticles were coated on textile fabric by corona ...

This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

Systems with smart textiles for personal protection are in place, but do not possess good communication links and communication structures. An open, service-oriented communications platform has been set as a goal. Mostly, these systems are based on technologies from a research area and not realize the full potential of available technologies. For this reason, technologies in the sciences, healt...

3. Fibres and fabrics. Materials and their properties; the importance of textiles in daily life from bandages to car tyres; the principles behind textiles, dress and fashion (Nuffield Home Economics, 1983a,b,c). 4. People and homes. Homes as shelters and ways of meeting individual and family needs; the scientific principles underlying the effective and economic management of the home and its eq...

Fishing has always been an essential component of the Polynesians’ life. Fishhooks, mostly in pearl shell, found during archaeological excavations are the artifacts related to this activity the most numerous. Thanks to them, we try to reconstruct the ancient techniques of resources exploitation, inside the lagoons and offshore. They can also be used as chronological and cultural indicators. The...

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. This paper studies the communication requirements between the computing and sensing elements of an e-textile. This communication is studied through the construction of a prototy...

Modelling of the current density in elelectroconductive textiles is a complicated problem as they cannot be considered homogenous structures with an isotropic current distribution. This anisotropy is mainly the result of the electrical contact resistance between interlacing yarns comprising the textile. It is difficult to measure the contact resistance directly as it is often nonlinear and depe...

Nowadays, the use of ontologies in the field of the archaeology is a new direction of research that is not fully tested. Some results are very encouraging and challenge the vision of archaeological sites which cannot be modeled semantically. Most of the researches based on ontology technologies in the archaeology domain are based on the research of finding on a common ground for the interoperab...

Suitable analytical markers to assess the degree of degradation of historic silk textiles at molecular and macroscopic levels have been identified and compared with silk textiles aged artificially in different environments, namely (i) ultraviolet (UV) exposure, (ii) thermo-oxidation, (iii) controlled humidity and (iv) pH. The changes at the molecular level in the amino acid composition, the for...

One of the dream reactions in polymer chemistry is the bottom-up, self-assembled synthesis of polymer fabrics, with interwoven, one-dimensional fibres of monomolecular thickness forming planar pieces of textiles. We have made a major step towards realizing this goal by assembling sophisticated, quadritopic linkers into surface-mounted metal-organic frameworks. By sandwiching these quadritopic l...
