In building energy simulation, indoor thermal comfort condition, energy use and equipment size are typically calculated based on the assumption that the clothing insulation is equal to a constant value of 0.5 clo during the cooling season and 1.0 clo during the heating season. The assumption is not reflected in practice and thus it may lead to errors. In reality, occupants frequently adjust the...

BACKGROUND The dengue and Zika viruses are primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are most active during day light hours and feed both in and outside of the household. Personal protection technologies such as insecticide-treated clothing could provide individual protection. Here we assessed the efficacy of permethrin-treated clothing on personal protection in the laboratory. ...

of “Virtual Human Bodies with Clothing and Hair: From Images to Animation” by Peng Guan, Ph.D, Brown University, May 2013 Realistic clothing and hair animation are necessary for many applications such as special effects, gaming, and on-line fashion. Thanks to the advances in computer graphics, highly realistic clothing and hair animation is common in recent animated movies by use of Physics Bas...

The paper is devoted to the realization of wireless enabled clothing, employing recent new technologies in electronics, textile, and renewable power. This new wireless enabled clothing architecture is modular and distributed,allowing for customization in functionality and clothing designs. Are studied the implications for supply chains,distribution channels, and cost benefits. Modular wireless ...

Clothing thermal insulation and moisture vapour resistance are the two most important parameters in thermal environmental engineering, functional clothing design and end use of clothing ensembles. In this study, clothing thermal insulation and moisture vapour resistance of various types of clothing ensembles were measured using the walking-able sweating manikin, Walter, under various environmen...

Field tests evaluated repellent formulations containing deet in combination with permethrin-impregnated or untreated military uniforms against Aedes taeniorhynchus. No significant difference was determined between repellents in duration of protection whether or not permethrin-treated clothing was worn, but there were differences in efficacy relative to site of application. The head was the site...

This study presents the development of an intelligent system for customized clothing making. The system involves body dimension collection, clothing pattern generation and fabric cutting. First, body dimensions can be collected by analyzing the 3D scanning images or 2D photographs. Further, the clothing patterns can be generated by using computer-aided design (CAD) techniques based on the colle...

The structure and operation of supply networks have received considerable attention from both the business community and academic researchers in the last two decades as the pace of globalisation has accelerated. Supply networks in the international clothing industry have developed and evolved significantly over that period. This paper reviews different ways to categorise supply networks and not...

Modeling clothing to characters is one of the most time-consuming tasks for artists in 3DCG animation production. Transferring existing clothing models is a simple and powerful solution to reduce labor. In this paper, we propose a method to generate a clothing model for various characters from a single template model. Our framework consists of three steps: scale measurement, clothing transforma...

In this study, a strategy is given for automatically reshaping an item of clothing from an arbitrary shape into a fixed shape by using its deformable model. The strategy consists of three stages that correspond to the clothing state: unknown (before recognition), unknown to known (recognition), and known (after recognition). In the first stage, a clothing item that is initially placed in an arb...
