A novel technique to generate three-dimensional Euclidean weavings, composed of close-packed, periodic arrays of one-dimensional fibres, is described. Some of these weavings are shown to dilate by simple shape changes of the constituent fibres (such as fibre straightening). The free volume within a chiral cubic example of a dilatant weaving, the ideal conformation of the G(129) weaving related ...

The warp ikat method of making decorated textiles is one of the most geographically widespread in southeast Asia, being used by Austronesian peoples in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, and Daic peoples on the Asian mainland. In this study a dataset consisting of the decorative characters of 36 of these warp ikat weaving traditions is investigated using Bayesian and Neighbornet technique...

Incorporating aspect-oriented paradigm to a polymorphically typed functional language enables the declaration of type-scoped advice, in which the effect of an aspect can be harnessed by introducing possibly polymorphic type constraints to the aspect. The amalgamation of aspect orientation and functional programming enables quick behavioral adaption of functions, clear separation of concerns and...

In weaving section due to a strong need for lane changing, a type of turbulence is created in traffic flow; so, the speedand the capacity of the weaving section decreases. Therefore, investigation of the weaving section is very important.However, due to shortage of the manual for urban principal arterials (highways), calibration of these models is necessary.One of these models...

This paper describes CARPET, a parallel programming language based on the cellular automata model. A CARPET implementation has been used for programming cellular algorithms in the CAMEL parallel environment. CAMEL is an environment designed to support the development of high performance applications in science and engineering. It offers the computing power of a highly parallel computer, hiding ...

Recently, invisible cloaks have attracted much attention due to their exciting property of invisibility, which are based on a solid theory of transformation optics and quasi-conformal mapping. Two kinds of cloaks have been proposed: free-space cloaks, which can render objects in free space invisible to incident radiation, and carpet cloaks (or ground-plane cloaks), which can hide objects under ...

Understanding the behavior of weaving flows and estimating the effects of time-variant traffic conditions on the capacity of weaving areas is of critical importance in developing effective operational strategies, which can achieve the maximum utilization of existing capacity for a given freeway system. The previous phase of this research identified and classified the major weaving areas in the ...

ABSTMCT: Reduction in the requirements for water, energy, and chemicals have been achieved by changes in carpet beck dyeing procedures. Instead of discharging the dyebath following each dye cycle, in the new procedure the spent bath is analyzed, reconstituted to the desired concentration of dyes and auxiliary chemicals, and reused. Bench scale dyeings were conducted initially to define operat...
