investigation on local scour phenomenon downstream of impinging jets is very complicated. different parameters such as geometry of stream, characteristics of flow and sediments have great influences on the scour phenomenon. the present study is preceded to numerical modeling of scouring by impinging jet via ssiim 2 model founded on a physical model tests. the numerical model is calibrated for r...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder which affects millions of population worldwide. Global estimates published in 2010 reported the world diabetic prevalence as 6.4%, affecting 285 million adults. Foot ulceration and wound infection are major forms of disabilities arising from diabetic diseases. This study was aimed to develop a natural antimicrobial finishing on medical grade textile that ...

In the paper the research of flat textile products for use as electrodes was presented. Material’s resistance measurements were carried out to determine the suitability of the textiles. Based on the received results of studies different types of textile electrodes were designed. Textile electrodes tests were carried out on human phantoms. The electro-conductive properties of human forearm phant...

Eco-friendly wet processings of textiles are major concerns of textile producers nowadays to attain high quality products without diversely affecting the environment quality and the enduser health1. Enzymatic processing of textile offers many advantages when compared to traditional chemical methods, namely, enzymes use significantly less water, less energy, and fewer chemicals than traditional ...

Allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes is considered to be a rare phenomenon. A recent review reported a prevalence of contact allergy to disperse dyes between 0.4 and 6.7%. The relevance of positive patch testing was not reported in all studies. Textile dye allergy is easily overlooked and is furthermore challenging to investigate as textile dyes are not labelled on clothing. In this repo...

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...

Water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. This natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. Use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. About 17 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. These effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cause...

This paper presents and explores 3D techniques for analyzing historic textile fragment. The textile fragment piece examined throughout this paper originates from the English National Trust archive held in the collection at Claydon House. The aim is to utilize data collected with a combination of both 2D pattern software and state-of-the-art 3D technology to both recreate and reconstruct a compe...

Textile electromyography (EMG) electrodes embedded in clothing allow muscle excitation to be recorded in previously inaccessible settings; however, their ability to accurately and reliably measure EMG during dynamic tasks remains largely unexplored. To quantify the validity and reliability of textile electrodes, 16 recreationally active males completed two identical testing sessions, within whi...
