The current study investigated the effectiveness of genre-based instruction on the development of EFL learners’ writing skills. Participants were 34 undergraduate students majoring in textile engineering at an Iranian state university, and they had enrolled in the English for specific academic purposes course. Participants were taught how to write 4 types of business letters, highlighting the p...

The paper is focused on modelling and control of an important textile engineering process: the textile sliver drafting process. This process plays a crucial role in textile production chain because low irregularity of drafted sliver is essential for production of high quality yarn. It is shown that this process can be modelled as a nonlinear time delay system with distributed delays. This model...

In this paper, we aim to provide an overview on textile interfaces in regard to three main aspects: education, applied technologies and ways of interaction. The research in this field is still at an early stage and we find that there are a lot of opportunities for future work. Textile interfaces offer a broad range of advantages to the educational world in terms of engagement, aesthetics and di...

In the context of converging media technologies, the concept of mobile media embedded in wearable material was introduced. Wearable Computing, Fashionable Technology, and Smart Textile are being developed at the intersection of media, art, design, computer science, and engineering. However, in Germany, little research has been undertaken into Smart Textile in education1. Those activities are no...

Today industrial textile has an old tradition, in the 20 th century when man-made fibers became available, the range of industrial textiles was rapidly widened by textiles before, These are currently used to produce fabric reinforced constructions, it is only in the last few decades that industrial textiles have become a commonly considered special group of textiles products, (2) where industri...

The apparel segment of the U.S. textile industrial complex is under tremendous pressure from foreign competition. The apparel industry is trying to respond to this pressure by changing its production philosophy to accommodate the consumer demand for ever increasing style variation and retailer demands for more frequent Just-In-Time (JIT) deliveries of smaller orders. The apparel industry must b...
