It has been shown that a large fraction of the sweat produced by heavily clothed men during work in the cold remains in the clothing and is relatively ineffective for skin cooling (Belding, Russell, Darling and Folk, 1947). For example, when a man walked at 3.5 miles per hour up a 6.5 per cent grade at OOF. sweat was secreted at a rate of about 500 grams per hour, of which 400 were held in the ...

this article attempts to study the meanings and significations of women’s clothing in a particular cultural/social space, namely kermanshah city. this city is highly heterogeneous religiously, ethnically and culturally has got a very complicated social stratification. women’s clothing, being problematic due to interweaving of traditional/modern aspects of lifestyles in iran, is a sign with vari...

Reseachers have verified that clothing provides information about the identity of the individual. To extract features from the clothing, the clothing region first must be localized or segmented in the image. At the same time, given multiple images of the same person wearing the same clothing, we expect to improve the effectiveness of clothing segmentation. Therefore, the identity recognition an...

The relationship between a female's clothing choice, sexual motivation, hormone levels, and partnership status (single or not single, partner present or not present) was analyzed in 351 females attending Austrian discotheques. We digitally analyzed clothing choice to determine the amount of skin display, sheerness, and clothing tightness. Participants self-reported sexual motivation, and we ass...

In this paper, a new framework is proposed for clothing style recognition in natural scenes. Clothing region is first detected through the fusion of super-pixel segmentation, saliency detection and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Next, a group of fashion attribute detectors are trained to get the likelihood of each attribute in the clothing image. Finally, the correlation matrix between clothing ...

Coating and lamination are two functional processes which are used make a proper finishing to the textile material. The coating formulation with different textile grade polymer like PVC, PU, acrylic, PTFE are hugely used to make a textile product with multipurpose way likewaterproof protective clothing, tarpaulin, protective clothing, electrical insulation etc. on the other hand lamination proc...

The evolution of Wearable Computers is making it possible for wearers to move and interact freely with the world with nearly invisible technology embedded into clothing. Our aim is to create technology that is not just in clothing but on the skin surface as removable and hidden electronics. In this paper, we introduce the term ‘Beauty technology’ as an emerging field in Wearable Computing that ...

Human re-identification, i. e., human identification across cameras without an overlapping view, has important applications in video surveillance. The problem is very challenging due to color and illumination variations among cameras as well as the pose variations of people. Assuming that the color of human clothing does not change quickly, previous work relied on color histogram matching of cl...
