Based on the application of Laplace's law to compression garments, an equation for predicting garment pressure, incorporating the body circumference, the cross-sectional area of fabric, applied strain (as a function of reduction factor), and its corresponding Young's modulus, is developed. Design procedures are presented to predict garment pressure using the aforementioned parameters for clinic...

India has carved a name for itself as a hub for export oriented garment manufacturing centre globally. Recent reports reveal that garment industry is the largest manufacturing sector in India. The textiles and garments sector alone employed 20% of the workforce in the manufacturing sector. Reports also state that textile industry currently contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production,...

Occupational health problems related to upper limp musculoskeletal disorders were the major issue among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of work related elbow and wrist musculoskeletal disorders among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Galan City, Oromia Regional State. A cro...

We show that for every separable Banach space X, either SPw(X) (the set of all spreading models of X generated by weakly-null sequences in X, modulo equivalence) is countable, or SPw(X) contains an antichain of the size of the continuum. This answers a question of S. J. Dilworth, E. Odell and B. Sari.

Industrial special clothing refers to the worn by employees of industrial enterprises and departments in order dress uniformly, facilitate work, or protect their bodies from external injuries. They have common characteristics practicality identification. This kind includes many styles, such as uniforms, shirts, jackets, overalls, skirts, aprons, headscarves, which are also applicable different ...

Background: Occupational health problems related to upper limp musculoskeletal disorders were the major issue among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of work related neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders among sewing machine operators of garment industries in Galan City, Oromia Regiona...

BACKGROUND The establishment of staff canteens is expected to improve the nutritional situation of Cambodian garment workers. The objective of this study is to assess the nutritive value of low-price model lunch sets provided at a garment factory in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. METHODS Exemplary lunch sets were served to female workers through a temporary canteen at a garment factory in Phnom Penh. ...

In this paper, we present a novel heuristic-based approach to flatten wrinkled garments by means of autonomous robotics. We have designed a heuristic-based strategy to flatten crumpled cloth by eliminating visually detected wrinkles. In order to explore and validate visually guided clothing manipulation, we have developed a hand-eye interactive learning system that incorporates a clothing simul...

This paper describes a user focused approach to the design of made-to-measure pressure emitting contemporary garments for children who are affected by the development disorder sensory integrative dysfunction (SID). These garments aim to aid the integration of tactile (touch), vestibular (movement) and proprioceptive (body position) sensations. The approach builds on previous pressure garment st...

A significant portion of the labor force in many large factories in developing countries consists of internal migrants from rural areas, who may have little information about the industry upon beginning work. We examine the relationship between workers’ migration status and the working conditions they face in the garment industry in Bangladesh. We use a retrospective panel of the wages and work...
