The three textile pieces I choose were from the select pieces David Adjaye thought were well made and designed with intricate details. His entire collection displayed multiple african cultures throughout pervious centuries.The first textile I found interesting was the Pelete Bite Wrapper. This textile is from the 1930’s and it is produced from a woven plain weave thread work. This particular textile was made from indian cotton that was woven with stripes and plaid or checks. From there women would

Analysis of Wood-based, Paper-based, and Plastic-based packages The shipping of goods and materials from their raw stages to finished products is facilitated through the use of wood-based, paper-based, and plastic-based shipping containers. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages that include their strength, stiffness, durability, functionality, and purchase price (Clarke, 2004). Through a comparison of the pros and cons of each shipping container and method, one can determine

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1General: Concrete, as a result of its many desirable properties makes and moulds itself to a variety of innovative designs. It can be cast in diverse shapes and with its several advantages such as high compressive strength, low thermal and electrical conductivity low combustibility and toxicity is considered to be a very attractive building material. However some deficiencies of the conventional cement concrete such as brittleness, poor tensile strength; poor impact strength

There are numerous sorts of clasp, one of which is the bolt which can be utilized for an assortment of various applications. The way toward riveting goes back to the prior days welding and the utilization of jolts were basic in development. Numerous old scaffolds scattered over the world are as yet working with their unique bolts. There are numerous sorts of bolt sort latches each of which is utilized for a specific reason; in any case it is pop bolts that we are most keen on here. Before we investigate

A Structure that is consisting of members or elements which work only in tension or compression is called truss. The trusses are designed with triangular or pyramidal shape, where members are assembled so the system works as one. Assembled members usually are triangle shaped, they are connected to each other with gusset joints that are: riveted, bolted or welded. The truss is a two-force member, that is a structural component where force is applied only in two points. Maine structures in what trusses

4.1.3. Experiments For Coating On Wood Substrate : Specimens of partal wood of size 0.05 m x 0.01 m x 0.03 cm (length x height x width) were prepared from defect free wood as shown below in fig.4.14. Isopropanol (Sigma Aldrich), zinc oxide nanoparticles and titania nanoparticles were used for the coating purpose. [14] Figure 4.14. Wood Specimens 4.1.3.1. Treatment Of Wood Surfaces With ZnO Nanoparticles And Titania Nanoparticles Blended Isopropanol : 100 ml of isopropanol was taken as shown in

In the article, Fiber Free-for-All: Not All Fibers Are Equal, it discusses what individuals must know about fiber and where to get the types of fiber that count. According to the National Academy of Sciences, women need 25 grams of fiber and men need 38 grams a day. However, older people need less fiber because they need less calories as well: “The advice is to get 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories, and older people need fewer calories” (Thomas Wolever). Based on studies, people that consume

Introduction Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. A low-fiber diet restricts fibrous foods that are not digested in the small intestine. A diet is considered to be low-fiber if it contains about 10–15 grams of fiber a day. In general, a low-fiber food will have fewer than 2 grams of fiber per serving. Low-fiber diets may be used to: Promote healing and rest the bowel during intestinal flare-ups. Prevent blockage of a partially blocked or narrowed gastrointestinal tract. Reduce

My unknown fiber is cotton. Cotton is the number one fiber used for apparel in the United states. In a study from 1994, sixty three percent of cotton was used for apparel. Cotton makes great clothes because it is a good insulator, it absorbs perspiration, is very comfortable, and is durable. Cotton is a good heat insulator. In our thermal insulating test, we put three hundred milliliters of room temperature water into a pan. Then we placed four containers into the pan, three containers had different
