the carpet industry developed various types of respiratory and musculoskeletal disorders, eyesight problems,  carpal tunnel syndrome and skin problems. healthy behavior of carpet weavers is not in a desirable level. we recommended appropriate interventions such as health service, education improvement and advocacy for promoting healthy behaviors of carpet weavers.

We have devised a thermal carpet cloak theoretically and implemented in silicon using layered metamaterial. The layered metamaterial is composed of single crystalline silicon and its phononic crystal. The design is based on a coordinate transformation. We demonstrate the result with numerical simulation. Great cloaking performance is achieved as a thermal insulator is well hidden under the ther...

We demonstrate in this work a unique approach for watching outside while hiding in a carpet cloaking based on transformation optics. Unlike conventional carpet cloaking, which screens all the incident electromagnetic waves, we break the cloak and allow incident light get into the carpet. Hence outside information is detected inside the cloak. To recover the invisible cloaking, complementary tec...

The carpet industry is one of the most rapidly growing traditional industries in India. This is a handicraft and cottage industry that provides jobs right at doorstep of more than 100,000 workers, belonging to economically backward class of society. In the global carpet scenerio, the market share of Indian carpets is expanding rapidly. Jaipur and its adjacent districts are the major manufacturi...

• Polluted indoor air can lead to discomfort, reduced efficiency and even ill health amongst employees and residents in modern buildings. • Wool carpet has been shown to rapidly neutralize formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, common contaminants in today's indoor environment. • Not only does wool neutralize these contaminants more quickly and completely than synthetic carpet fibe...

Effective immobilization and transportation are vital to the life-saving acute medical care needed when treating critically injured people. However, the most common types of stretchers used today are wrought with problems that can lead to further medical complications, difficulty in employment and rescue, and ineffective transitions to hospital treatment. Here we report a novel first aid stretc...

This paper describes the main features of the CARPET language and its practical use for programming three-dimensional models of the contamination of soils developed in the CABOTO project. CARPET is a high-level language based on the cellular automata model, which supports rapid prototyping of a large number of applications in science and engineering. A CARPET implementation has been used for pr...

Consider a family of bounded domains Ωt in the plane (or more generally any Euclidean space) that depend analytically on the parameter t, and consider the ordinary Neumann Laplacian ∆t on each of them. Then we can organize all the eigenfunctions into continuous families u (j) t with eigenvalues λ (j) t also varying continuously with t, although the relative sizes of the eigenvalues will change ...

Let X be a standard 2-dimensional Brownian motion. There exists a.s. t ∈ (0, 1) such that X([0, t)) ∩ X((t, 1]) = ∅. It follows that X([0, 1]) is not homeomorphic to the Sierpiński carpet a.s.
