Kerlogue, Fiona. "Batik cloths from Jambi, Sumatra." Thesis, University of Hull, 1997. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:8279.
Full textAbstract:
I set about exploring the history of Jambi batik with a view to establishing its nature, characteristics, methods of manufacture and function in its social context. A central aim of the study was to establish an accurate description of batiks from Jambi which could serve as a guide to museum cataloguers. In particular I planned to clarify the position regarding the red batiks. During the course of my investigations, I came across a similar confusion surrounding a group of batiks containing Arabic calligraphy. A further purpose of the study was then to determine which, if any, of these calligraphy batiks were made in Jambi. For those which did, my intention was to discover how they fitted into the social and economic context in which they were produced. This study has challenged a number of assumptions which have been made about batik in Indonesia. I have confronted static models and others which have focussed too narrowly on Javanese techniques and meanings. I have demonstrated the importance of approaching textiles from a perspective which recognises change and diversity. I have tried to emphasise the need to understand the central role of trade and colonial experience in relation to textiles in South-East Asia. I have also shown the need for taking into consideration the wider geographical context, beyond the Indonesian archipelago and beyond the notional boundaries of South-East Asia. Previous studies of Indonesian batik have tended to apply Javanese models to all of Indonesia. Indonesia was viewed with Java as the centre and the other regions as satellites to it: a Java-centric model which has marginalised batiks from Jambi. Finally, I believe I have shown the crucial importance of studying the technical aspects of textiles. Many other studies of textiles in South-East Asia have employed an anthropological perspective focusing almost exclusively on the symbolic to the neglect of the technical. This has resulted in a paucity of information which could help museum curators to identify both how and where the textiles were made. This lack of information made the study of textiles from Jambi, as it must do for many other marginalised places, particularly difficult. I hope that this study has not only revealed this problem, but has gone some way to remedy it.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Freudenberg Household Products AB in Norrköping are manufacturer of sponge cloths with the well-known brand names of Wettex<sup>®</sup> and Vileda<sup>®</sup>. The production is based on the viscose fiber process and involves a high chemical demand. Recent customer complaints involve a diffuse smell from the cloths that is like a “garage odor” and occurs after a few uses. The company’s theory is that the smell derives from a chemical used in the process called Exxal 9.</p><p>The aim was to screen the washing water from two sections and the cloth before and after wash for the presence of Exxal 9 and other prominent components. The washing water samples consisted of a salt solution from one section and a water condensate from another section. A method to qualitatively and quantitatively examine the production samples was developed. To evaluate the variation over a short period of time, twelve samples were taken during four weeks. The focus for the analysis lay on production line Wx4, but comparisons with two other production lines, Wx7 and SL1, were also made. The method of choice was gas chromatography in combination with two different detectors; mass spectrometer for identification and flame ionization detector for quantification.</p><p>Exxal 9 could be identified in both of the washing water sections but in very various concentrations. At the production line Wx4, the mean concentration in the mother lye was 61.96 µl/l whereas the mean concentration in the condensate was 0.24 µl/l. The comparison between the different production lines showed significant variations, where Wx4 had the highest concentration. In the cloths, Exxal 9 could only be found before it had been washed. The concentration in the cloths was not high enough for quantification. In both the washing waters and cloths, additional unknown peaks were found. Attempts to identify all the unknowns were made but only two compounds were included in the commercial library; 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)-ethanol.</p>

This thesis discusses cloth simulations for visual effects production, and thereplication of real life garments in that context. The purpose is to get anunderstanding for the practical process of recreating actual cloth garments, andthrough this work explore the behaviour of cloth materials and the importance of theirspecific traits in a simulation context. This is achieved through recreating threespecific cloth garments in a computer simulation package, cross-referencingobserved cloth properties as guidance. The resulting videos are then compared sideby side with filmed reference by the author and through a survey, along with similarlooking simulations to evaluate the quality of the simulations. The results show that itis possible to digitally recreate real world garments, with accuracy being mostlydepending on resolution, model accuracy and apparent thickness. The report alsohighlights a need for further research into tangible cloth recreation.

Full textAbstract:
This study has its background in the EU directive, the ‘Single-Use Plastics Directive’. The directive was initiated due to the environmental impacts that the oceans suffer due to plastic waste. The directive presents the most common single-use products found as waste in the oceans, including wipes and cloths. In collaboration with Essity, a global hygiene and health company, this study aims to find a replacement fibre for the currently used polyester fibre in Essity’s industrial cleaning cloths. To this end, we have evaluated the applicability of an agricultural fibre in the aspects of processability and sustainability. A theoretical part including a literature study of agricultural fibres is combined with a practical experimental part to evaluate a manufactured prototype. The theoretical part includes a compilation of the relevant parameters per fibre and the experimental part consists of laboratory tests and a panel test. On this basis, it was concluded that the first agricultural fibre, hemp, did not function adequately in the process due to the variations in fibre length and coarseness. A solution to this problem may be pre-treatments of the fibres. The second fibre, flax, functioned well in the process and may then be considered applicable in the aspect of process. The applicability of an agricultural fibre is possible in industrial cleaning cloths, but the geographical location of cultivation, transport, the chemicals used and irrigation should also be taken into account in the aspects of sustainability.<br>Bakgrunden till denna studie är EU-direktivet, ‘Single-Use Plastics Directive’. Direktivet har sitt ursprung i de miljöproblem som våra hav lider av på grund av nedskräpningen medplastavfall. Direktivet redovisar de engångsartiklar som återfinns allra mest i haven idag, däribland rengöringsdukar. På förekommen anledningen ska därför denna studie i samarbete med Essity, ett globalt hygien- och hälsoföretag, undersöka möjligheten att ersätta den befintliga polyesterfibern i deras industriella rengöringsdukar. Studien har utvärderat möjligheten att använda en naturlig fiber med avseende på tillverkningsprocess och hållbarhet. För att möjliggöra en utvärdering av en tillverkad prototyp, så har en teoretisk del med en litteraturstudie i kombination med en praktisk experimentell del genomförts. Den teoretiska delen består av en sammanställning av relevanta parametrar för varje fiber och den experimentella delen består av laboratorietester och ett paneltest. Slutsatserna från ett förstaförsök var att hampafibrer inte fungerade i processen på grund av variationer i hampansfiberlängd och grovlek. Att göra en förbehandling skulle kunna vara lösningen. I det andraförsöket med linfibrer, visade det sig att linfibrer fungerar i processen och därför kan vara applicerbar med avseende på tillverkningsprocess. En naturlig fiber kan användas i industriella rengöringsdukar, ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv är det viktigt att beakta den geografiska platsen för odling, transporter, användning av kemikalier och konstbevattning.

Panos de limpeza têm sido considerados importantes fontes de contaminação cruzada, contudo seu uso continua muito freqüente em serviços de alimentação. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a contaminação e multiplicação microbiana, além de dois procedimentos de higienização de panos de limpeza. Em uma primeira etapa, 35 panos de limpeza foram coletados em serviços de alimentação da grande Porto Alegre, RS/Brasil e foram submetidos à quantificação de bactérias totais, coliformes e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, aqui chamado de Staphylococcus aureus presuntivos. Os panos foram lavados manualmente e desinfetados por dois métodos, separadamente: a) fervura em água potável por 15 minutos e b) imersão em solução clorada a 200ppm, por 15 minutos, sendo enxaguados logo após. Os resultados demonstraram que a as contagens de bactérias totais variaram de 2,0 x 104 UFC/cm2 até 1,0 x 108 UFC/cm2, com média de 9,1 x 106 UFC/cm2. A contaminação por coliformes foi de 4,4 x 102 a 1,6 x 107 UFC/cm2, sendo que 40% das amostras apresentou contagens de aproximadamente 106 UFC/cm2. Quantidades de S. aureus presuntivos variaram de 1,0 x 104 UFC/cm2 a 2,8 x 106 UFC/cm2, com média de 4,6 x 105 UFC/cm2. De modo geral, panos desinfetados pelos dois métodos demonstraram reduções significativas (p < 0,05) do número de microrganismos, as quais foram de aproximadamente 5 ciclos logarítmicos. Em uma segunda etapa, panos contendo diferentes quantidades de matéria orgânica (0%, 1%, 5% e 10% de albumina bovina) foram contaminados com Salmonella Enteritidis 3091/05, Escherichia coli ATCC 25972, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 e Shigella sonnei CC07 e incubados por 1h, 2h, 3h e 4h, a 30 oC. A multiplicação foi avaliada por métodos microbiológicos e por bioluminescência gerada por ATP. Uma bactéria recombinante, ampicilina-resistente (HSα E. coli) foi utilizada para avaliar o potencial de dispersão de panos. Os resultados demonstraram que até duas horas de incubação não houve multiplicação expressiva de todos os microrganismos avaliados, no entanto, em três horas a maioria apresentou leve aumento da população. Uma exceção foi a S. Enteritidis que apresentou multiplicação significativamente maior (p < 0,05). Após quatro horas de incubação, todos os microrganismos apresentaram multiplicação significativa. A bioluminescência confirmou esses resultados e também demonstrou que diferentes quantidades de matéria orgânica não interferiram na multiplicação microbiana nas primeiras 3 a 4 horas. O experimento da dispersão bacteriana demonstrou que um pano contaminado com 104 UFC/cm2 foi capaz de transferir aproximadamente 102 UFC/cm2 de bactérias para uma superfície de aço inoxidável. Baseado nesses resultados, pode-se concluir que panos de limpeza utilizados em serviços de alimentação apresentavam nível elevado de contaminação, porém se adequadamente lavados e desinfetados, suas contagens podem ser significativamente reduzidas. Além disso, sugere-se que panos adequadamente desinfetados sejam utilizados por aproximadamente duas horas, não ultrapassando o período de três horas.<br>Cleaning cloths have been considered as important cause of cross-contamination, however its use remains frequent in food services. The objective of this study was to evaluate microbial contamination and multiplication, as well as two disinfection methods of cleaning cloths. In a first step of this work, samples (n=35) were collected in food services of Porto Alegre City, RS/Brazil and quantified for microbial contamination. Results indicated total aerobic counts varying from 2.0 x 104 cfu/cm2 up to 1.0 x 108 cfu/cm2, with mean numbers of 9.1 x 106 cfu/cm2. Coliform contamination varied from 4.4 x 102 up to 1.6 x 107 cfu/cm2 per cloth, and 40 % of the samples presented counts around 106 cfu/cm2, while presumptive S. aureus ranged from 1.0 x 104 cfu/cm2 up to 2.8 x 106 cfu/cm2, with mean numbers of 4.6 x 105 cfu/cm2. The cleaning cloths were disinfected in boiling water for 15 minutes and with 200 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution for 15 minutes, separately, demonstrating significant reductions (p < 0.05) of approximately 5 log. In a second step of this study, cloths containing 0 %, 1 %, 5%, and 10% of organic matter (bovine albumin) were contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis 3091/05, Escherichia coli ATCC 25972, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Shigella sonnei CC07, and were incubated for 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h, at 30 oC. Microbial multiplication was evaluated by bacterial counts and ATP bioluminescence, and an ampicilin-resistant recombinant HSα E. coli was used as a pathogen surrogate to investigate the potential of microbial cloth dispersion. The results demonstrate that until 2 hours of storage all strains did not present expressive growth. In 3 hours of storage the majority of the microorganisms showed slightly development, being that S. Enteritidis grown significantly better than other strains. In 4 hours of incubation all microorganisms demonstrate significant growth (p < 0.05). ATP bioluminescence confirmed the microbial count results and also demonstrates that different amounts of organic matter did not interfere with the bacterial multiplication at the first 3 to 4 hours of incubation. The dispersion experiment indicated that a cleaning cloth contaminated with 104 cfu/cm2 was able to spread approximately 102 cfu/cm2 recombinant E. coli onto a stainless steel surface. Based on these results it was possible to conclude that cleaning cloths used in food services were very contaminated, however adequate sanitation procedures could reduce significantly its microbial contamination. We suggested that an appropriate period of time to use disinfected cleaning cloths is around 2 hours, not exceeding 3 hours of usage.

Full textAbstract:
This degree work places itself within the field of textile design, with an artistic approach. The motive with this work is to introduce Kente cloth as a textile expression to be developed as a contemporary textile technique. The aim is to explore ways of reinterpreting the West African weaving technique of Kente cloth in combination with the use of recycled toys in order to create contemporary artistic textile designs. The design method consisted of workshops that focused on the deconstruction of the technique and the categorisation of toys. Experimental sketches on the handloom and jacquard machine were produced. The outcome of this design work is a collection of three handwoven artistic textile designs. Toys’’R’’Cloth engages the viewer to produce more sustainable designs by using recycled toys as material reuse. This work and its design method have the potential to be developed further and applied onto other textile techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The work submitted for the PhD by Publication is evidence of my investigation into the significance of textiles as an aesthetic experience within a socially engaged form of material practice, some of which involves other people. Social engagement has been an active and deliberate agent in the aesthetic transformation of functional material objects in two of my publications called The Sleeping Bag Project and You Are the Journey. A third publication is a co-edited book called Outside: Activating Cloth to Enhance the Way We Live. A range of essays by artists, curators and writers discloses previously unwritten commentaries on community initiatives that probe a range of empathetic modes of investigation that explore meaningful spaces for participation. I have come to recognise that a proactive attitude towards collaboration is evident in all three publications. It is exemplified by my approach to co-orchestrating the Outside book and by an eagerness to work with others to advance the concept of the transformative power of cloth within the live arena for socially engaged textile practices today. The relations between an aesthetic transformation and socially engaged practice was implicit in Rozsika Parker’s seminal text The Subversive Stitch first published in 1984 providing an analysis of textiles within social history. At the beginning of work on this PhD my relationship with the book was complex and full of tensions. My perceptions of Parker’s work changed as I discovered at the very end of my thesis connections between her work and mine that enable a deeper understanding of the need in my socially engaged textile practice today for the kind of aesthetics she describes historically as arising from social constraint. Consequently The Subversive Stitch has now re-appeared with value as a touchstone for my work in a contemporary context. The thesis then discusses examples of the outcomes of practices by other artists and considers the attention given to visual aesthetics within socially engaged practices. Ideas are developed to suggest how the aesthetic dimension of textiles may enhance principles of communal giving as an innovative strategy stretching beyond the coalition government’s Big Society agenda presented in 2010. Examples from investigations of textiles in museum archives including embroideries created by internees within Second World War prisoner-ofwar camps in the Far East are also examined. The aesthetic dimension of the embroideries carries significance through the vulnerable context in which they were created, as a potent series of statements involving cloth in action. In contemporary Britain, I have shown how such everyday objects as sleeping bags and travel tickets can capture the imagination by creating a connection with participants, when they may not have been consciously seeking an insight separate from the functionality of these objects. Nevertheless, an aesthetic gesture is surreptitiously tucked away. This has created a hybrid form of social engagement that can move fluidly between private and public spaces. The social engagement also involves processes of interaction and exchange with the object in the presentation of an active relationship with the object that is both seen and unseen.

El uso excesivo de productos no reciclables está dañando el medio ambiente, no solo en nuestro país, sino en todo el mundo. Es por ello que, hemos desarrollado un proyecto en el cual se pueda eliminar de manera progresiva el uso de bolsas elaboradas, en su mayoría, con polipropileno y plástico industrial.
A diario, vemos que todo lo que cargamos tiende a estar dentro de un envase plástico. Estas bolsas se usan solo por unos minutos para transportar productos desde los supermercados, bodegas y tiendas hacia nuestras casas u oficinas, pero se quedan en el planeta por 150 años durante su proceso de degradación. Según el Ministerio del Ambiente (2015), cada año, se usan 791 toneladas de bolsas plásticas en todo el Perú. Solo en supermercados se usan un millón-seiscientos mil bolsas cada día. La propuesta presentada son bolsas reusables que duran años y son hechas a base de tocuyo y yute con trazos de tela reciclada, ayudando así a conservar el ecosistema.

Daily, see everything we carry tends to be inside a plastic container. These bags are used only for a few minutes to transport products from supermarkets, warehouses and shops to our homes or offices, but the remain on the planet by 150 years during the degradation process. According to the Ministry of the environment (2015), each year we use 791 tons of plastic bags in Peru. Only in supermarkets, one million six hundred thousand bags are used every day. The use of reusable bags could last for years and they are made of tocuyo and jute with recycled fabric strokes, thus managed to preserve the ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
The clothes and textiles sold in Sweden is mostly manufactured in countries outside of the EU. The production requires large areas of land and vast amount of water. The environmental impact is big during the production phase in terms of water usage, chemicals and transports. In general, the consumption of new textile is increasing in Sweden, but so is also reused textil. In 2016 the consumption of textile in Sweden was nearly 14 kg per person and year, which equals the weight of 14 t-shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, 7 hoodies and 2 coats. At the same time 5 kg textile per person and year is thrown in the the household waste and nearly 60 % of the thrown textile is in good condition and could be used again. The amount of clothes given to charity organisations is almost 4 kg per person and year but 70 % of the collected textile is exported. The collection and recycling of non-reusable textiles in Sweden today is low. Current recycling techniques are mainly energy recovery through incineration. The reasons for this has to do with limitations in the sorting and collection of consumer textile waste or limitation of optional recycling processes. In fact, there is no large scale industrial process to recycle textile into new textile, which leads to an open loop system where input of new materials is required. But there are upcoming technologies that meets the challenges today. This project explores the dynamics of current ways of treating textile waste. Through learnings from existing system, in combination with new technologies, alternative ways of structuring processes of production, consumption, usages and disposal is proposed with the aim of establishing a new relationship to contemporary urban production.

Full textAbstract:
<p>To engage in environmental and social issues is getting more important for companies, and many companies have integrated environmental considerations into their business. Consumers have a strong influence on companies and their environmental awareness and willingness to pay affects the companies work within the environmental field. The consumption of clothes has grown rapidly and the average Swede spends 3.9 percent of their income on clothes. The production process of clothes can harm the environment, society and the consumers themselves. So the purpose of this thesis is to see if consumers have a willingness to pay extra for an environmentally friendly garment. The aim is also to identify what factors that may influence consumers’ decisions. A survey containing a contingent valuation has been conducted. The results show that a prominent majority, 89 percent, of the respondents stated that they would pay extra to make sure the garment they buy is eco-friendly, and the median for the amount they are willing to spend is 65 SEK extra. This indicates that there is an interest from the consumers to pay extra to make sure environmental consideration is taken in production of clothes. The awareness of the indirect harm that purchasing clothes can cause themselves, others and the environment and how intensely consumers feel that it is their own responsibility not to cause that harm, probably have an influence on peoples’ willingness to pay extra.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the leaden seals which were attached to textiles from the late 14th- to the early 19th century in England as part of a system of industrial regulation and taxation. Almost all of the 1,345 seals and related items which are described here individually were recovered from the ground. This total comprises all the English seals examined which refer to their place of origin in the legends (many of these are alnage seals), all the known English seals of medieval date, and the English matrices for the cloth seals. The unsorted information about each item is presented, just as recorded, in Appendix 1. The historical context and development of cloth sealing in this country are discussed, and a chronological framework for the various stamped devices and forms of seal is proposed. Following a more detailed account of the known medieval seals are brief summaries of the main aspects of local textile industries and a synthesized description of the recorded seals county by county. A concluding section assesses the information provided by the known seals, and the degree of correspondence with data from historical sources. Directions for future studies are suggested. Further appendices provide statistical tables and maps of documentary-based information on levels of textile production at different periods, detailed discussions of the provenances and findspots of the recorded seals, an account of the largest known group of English seals, and documentary evidence for the dating of some of the seals from Norfolk. For the first time information has been presented systematically, and assessed in detail, both on the extent of survival and on the potential academic value of cloth seals found during excavations.

Allan, Peter. "Microrheology of fibrin clots." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2012. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3042/.
Full textAbstract:
An active particle tracking microrheology technique has been developed to study the viscoelastic properties of human fibrin and plasma clots. In order to perform microrheology measurements, a magnetic microrheometer device has been adapted and a technique developed, following the procedure of Evans et al., to measure the frequency dependent viscoelastic moduli (G() and G()). This technique has been supported by complementary investigation methodologies, such as protein analysis, turbidity, and multiple microscopy techniques. As a result of this study new insights into the viscoelastic dynamics of fibrin have been revealed. Three stress relaxation mechanisms, as predicted by Morse et al. for networks of semi-flexible fibres, were observed and occur on distinctly different timescales. The scaling of the tension dominated contribution was measured to scale as G ~ c2.7 0.2 in agreement with the prediction of Mackintosh. The presence of FXIII resulted in stiffer less deformable clots but was found to have no effect on the viscoelastic dynamics of clots. Frequency measurements of the loss tangent revealed that on timescales intermediate between stress relaxation modes clots were much more susceptible to permanent deformation. The effect of fibrinogen, thrombin and calcium on the viscoelastic behaviour of clots was also investigated. Increased fibrinogen levels produced clots which displayed predominantly elastic behaviour on shorter time-scales. The molecular mechanism underpinning the role of fibrinogen γ in fibrin clot polymerisation, structure and viscoelasticity was also investigated. We report new data which show that fibrinogen γ is associated with the formation of mechanically weaker, non-uniform clots composed of thinner fibres. This is caused by direct disruption of protofibril formation by and not through thrombin inhibition or binding to FXIII. In addition, the effects of the plasma proteins FVIIa, FIXa, FXIIa and FXIII on clot properties are also reported.

Full textAbstract:
This work explores the relation between the body and garments by illustrating the cycle of dressing, wearing and undressing in woven images. Based on experimental methods, such as scanning and photographing, images of garments are generated capturing garment details, surface qualities, movement, folds and volume. These demonstrate the constantly changing relation between the body and garments within the cycle of dressing, wearing and undressing. In translating the photographs and scans of the garments into weaves, a shading technique for jacquardweaving is applied that enables a translation of an image of a 3D-garment into a flat weave keeping the 3D qualities present in the picture. Through a gradation of satin weaves, different hues are created in order to define shadows and other surface qualities. The changing relation between the body and garments is interpreted in different ways including the body’s presence as well as its absence which results in immediate material responses of the garments and demonstrates the various appearances of the body within this relation. This work results in a variety of woven images pointing out the different stages within the cycle of dressing, wearing and undressing. By using the image as a tool, its pictorial value of capturing moments of change and succession is emphasized. With this work, a new perception of bodily shapes in textiles is provided. Instead of imitating the body’s presence in garments through 3D – forms, alternative ways are shown in how to achieve a corporal illusion in flat weaving-constructions.

Full textAbstract:
This study initially aimed to evaluate dynamic capability theory using a longitudinal empirical case of a highly successful FTSE-100 company operating within a volatile market. Using a range of rich qualitative data to open the “black box”, dynamic capabilities theory is extended through a detailed account of the process through which the case firm reconfigures and deploys their so-called zero-order or operational capabilities. Although there is a burgeoning literature, research findings remain diverse, disparate and largely conceptual. The limited examples of empirical work in the extant literature, tend to focus on what dynamic capabilities are with little attention in demonstrating how they actually operate. This study details several stages of significant change within the case firm as it moves from start up to its current MNE status. In-depth interviews with the senior team both past and present capture discussions of those factors underlying the success of this firm. Thematic development revealed examples of resource configurations and routines that matched dynamic capability as defined in literature. However, attempts to use Winter's (2003) hierarchy of capability to organize the data proved inadequate; far from being heterogeneous, the dynamic capability found looks like best practice; and whilst operational capability can be seen to evolve, the dynamic capability identified has not. Turning to the wider strategic management literature one can argue that the dynamic capability found in this firm fits better with a wider set of concepts such as knowledge management, absorptive learning, organizational change, leadership, HR practices, strategic decision making, team building, etc. Using a dynamic capability perspective, the findings might extend the under-developed notions of dynamic managerial capability and entrepreneurial fitness. Dynamic managerial capability, as described in the literature, can be articulated within the case firm. Managerial agency is key to competitive success in this firm and this study shows that the concept of agency is more encompassing than that of dynamic managerial capabilities and Teece’s (2007) vision of sensing, seizing and reconfiguring. There are cognitive aspects to creating the context for leadership action and the roles of sense-making and sense-giving to sustain the organizational culture and create the framework for innovation, learning and change. Yet, it is equally possible to account for competitive advantage within this case without recourse to dynamic capability theory. By linking the data gathered to the concept of "dominant logic" (Prahalad & Bettis, 1986; 1995), it is argued that traits and attitudes of the founders and senior managers of the case firm contribute to the “logic” that drives action. Over time these traits have been expressed as a series of simple rules that, in turn, have been operationalized in an organizational culture providing the context for the development of both routines and ad-hoc action. The thesis then demonstrates analytically how rules and their underlying traits act as a mechanism for the creation, sustenance and adaptation of operational capabilities traceable directly to actions taken in response to or in anticipation of environmental changes as well as actions taken in the context of an organizational culture which reflects these rules and underlying traits. It is through managerial agency that rules are created, the culture sustained and “entrepreneurial fitness” is achieved. As such, the research presented here contributes to the resource-based theory of the firm without recourse to the dynamic capabilities construct.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis introduces a novel Eulerian-on-Lagrangian (EoL) approach for simulating cloth. This approach allows for the simulation of traditionally difficult cloth scenarios, such as draping and sliding cloth over sharp features like the edge of a table. A traditional Lagrangian approach models a cloth as a series of connected nodes. These nodes are free to move in 3d space, but have difficulty with sliding over hard edges. The cloth cannot always bend smoothly around these edges, as motion can only occur at existing nodes. An EoL approach adds additional flexibility to a Lagrangian approach by constructing special Eulerian on Lagrangian nodes (EoL Nodes), where cloth material can pass through a fixed point. On contact with the edge of a box, EoL nodes are introduced directly on the edge. These nodes allow the cloth to bend exactly at the edge, and pass smoothly over the area while sliding. Using this ‘Eulerian-on-Lagrangian’ discretization, a set of rules for introducing and constraining EoL Nodes, and an adaptive remesher, This simulator allows cloth to move in a sliding motion over sharp edges. The current implementation is limited to cloth collision with static boxes, but the method presented can be expanded to include contact with more complicated meshes and dynamic rigid bodies.

Full textAbstract:
My work explores the nature of individual perception, and the side of our lives lived entirely within our minds. I do this through the lens of self-reflection, examining the images of my own mental life and translating them into delicately handwoven cloth. These images and their structures become sensory experiences of the intangible, and a meeting place for my internal life and that of my viewer. The cloth I weave is simultaneously familiar and strange. Through woven surface and imbedded imagery, I attempt to illuminate the deep emotions that necessarily isolate us from each other, and the shared experiences of our physical beings, which connect us. The quiet, ritualistic act of weaving expresses an overlapping of mental and physical space: the resulting cloth bears within each line of warp and weft the metaphor of that process.

Zheng, Chao. "Cloth simulation by isogeometric analysis." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/4981.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to develop a design-oriented simulation approach for cloth analysis. Our approach is built on the framework of NURBS-based isogeometric analysis, which utilizes NURBS as the basis functions of analysis. NURBS is a class of parametric geometry to represent curves and surfaces in computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Recently, NURBS geometry has been used directly in analysis. The overall goal of this thesis is to develop a computation infrastructure that enables cloth analysis directly on NURBS geometry.
The advantage of NURBS in the context of cloth modeling lies in the geometric smoothness. Using NURBS, it's easy to construct surfaces with C1 or higher order of continuity. Compared to C0 finite element geometry, the NURBS geometry is more effective in capturing wrinkles and folders of cloth, which are characteristics of cloth motion. The NURBS geometry enables the use of rotation-free Kirchhoff-Love shell. The rotation-free shell model not only saves freedoms, but also makes the contact/impact treatment much easier.
The major contribution of this work is the development of a NURBS cloth modeling approach. The mechanical model of cloth and its implementation with NURBS geometry will be presented in detail. Proper constitutive laws are employed for fabric materials. Since NURBS geometry from CAD typically contains multiple patches and trimmed patches, a certain treatment is proposed so that geometry can be used directly in analysis.
Another contribution of this work relates to a contact/impact algorithm. Contact problems in cloth simulation have been a bottleneck of continuum-based approach. Since the general contact method doesn't work well for cloth simulation, a special contact treatment is developed. The present contact model distinguishes three types of contact interactions. The first is the persistent contact force. This force in essence is the traditional penalty force, but is applied when a contact pair is within a separation tolerance instead of being penetrated. This essentially smears the abrupt contact reaction into a relatively smooth force defined only a small thickness. The second is trajectory impact, which deals with the reaction when impact occurs in a time step. The treatment ensures that a point stays on a same side of the surface it impacts on. The third is self-intersection. Intersection resorting force is introduced when the initial configuration has self-intersections, or when the trajectory impact force fails to eliminate all the collisions. We proposed a new method, the method of area minimization, to handle intersections.
The contact models have been integrated into an operator-split integration algorithm. A notable feature of this integration is that the contact/impact response is singled out from the momentum equation.
This work also proposes a continuum-based strain limiting scheme. Because the in-plane stiffness of cloth is much higher than the bending stiffness, numerical difficulty is encountered in either implicit or explicit time integration. The strain limiting is a numerical technique that formulates the in-plane response as a constraint problem to allow the use of lower in-plane stiffness.
A number of examples are presented to show the performance of the proposed approach. In the wrinkling study, the simulated wrinkle pattern looks similar with the experimental results. In the contact study, it is found that the current method can accurately recover a constant contact pressure field (press patch test), can handle contacts of multi-layer folds and produce realistic draping effect. The intersection resolution method is illustrated to be robust to various kinds of intersections. The fast projection method can enlarge time steps while limiting the in-plane strain.
The current method is also applied to the analysis of a soft armor. Beginning from CAD models the armor was put on the human body by a try-on simulation. In multi-layer models, the intersection resolution method is used to resolve the intersections between layers. Subsequently, cloth dynamics are simulated for different human motions. Mechanical indexes such as the extra torque caused by the armors, pressure force on the body, and stress in the armor are predicted. Parametric studies are performed to investigate the change in mechanical metrics under altered design parameters.

Full textAbstract:
Research has been carried out in the study of cloth modelling over many decades. The more recent arrival of computers however has meant that the necessary complex calculations can be performed quicker and that visual display of the results is more realistic than for the earlier models. Today's textile and garment designers are happy to use the latest two dimensional design and display technology to create designs and experiment with patterns and colours. The computer is seen as an additional tool that performs some of the more tedious jobs such as re-drawing, re-colouring and pattern sizing. Designers have the ability and experience to visualise their ideas without the need for photo reality. However the real garment must be created when promoting these ideas to potential customers. Three dimensional computer visualisation of a garment can remove the need to create the garment until after the customer has placed an order. As well as reducing costs in the fashion industry, realistic three dimensional cloth animation has benefits for the computer games and film industries. This thesis describes the development of a realistic cloth drape model. The system uses the Finite Element Method for the draping equations and graphics routines to enhance the visual display. During the research the problem of collision detection and response involving dynamic models has been tackled and a unique collision detection method has been developed. This method has proved very accurate in the simulation of cloth drape over a body model and is also described in the thesis. Three dimensional design and display are seen as the next logical steps to current two dimensional practices in the textiles industry. This thesis outlines current and previous cloth modelling studies carried out by other research groups. It goes on to provide a full description of the drape method that has been developed during this research period.

Full textAbstract:
The formulation of IR-reflective coatings for various applications depends on
many factors, some of which cannot be seen with the naked eye. There are two main keys
to formulating these coatings.
1. Individual pigment selection: Select IR-reflective pigments.
2. Milling and dispersing: Do not over grind and degrade IR properties.
3. Mixing IR-reflective pigments: Be aware of the invisible interactions of different
pigment types in the IR region.
4. Opacity: Use an IR-reflective substrate/primer if possible, or manage the pigmentto-
binder and film thickness to minimize effect of absorptive substrates.
5. Contamination: Inclusion of even small amounts of IR-absorbing pigments can
greatly reduce TSR.
The second key is to work with a partner with the products, research, and most
importantly, technical support to allow you to formulate, test and validate your IRreflective
coatings. The IR range is invisible to the human eye, not covered by standard
spectrophotometers, and measurable only by expensive and specialized equipment. A
partner who can shepherd you in pigment selection, color matching and testing, along
with guidance in the different regulations and programs can be an invaluable aid in
formulating, marketing and supporting differentiated IR-reflective coatings.

This paper examines the significance of factory-printed cloth in Africa and its potential to communicate various messages through its use as clothing. Factory-printed cloth also has unintended communicative value when it is displayed outside Africa in museum contexts. Factory-printed cloth made a relatively late appearance in the literature and exhibit history of African cloth. One reason for this is that the cloth was not considered 'African', as its production combines African design with European technology. The introduction of factory-printed cloth to Africa provided a new way in which to communicate messages through cloth, as faces of important people and text could be printed directly onto cloth. This technique has proved useful in commemorating special people or events in Africa. I begin this study by examining issues of authenticity, in relation to African material culture in museum settings and then provide a history of research carried out on African factory-printed cloth and its appearance in museum and gallery exhibitions. This has led to contemporary forms of art historical and anthropological research. Some of the latter, including my own, has involved field collecting of commemorative cloths in West Africa. My research resulted in a museum exhibition of factory-printed cloth at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology in February 2004. The Textile Museum of Canada also exhibited factoryprinted cloth in 2004. A case study of both these exhibits will take place here to illuminate how factory-printed cloth can provide insights into a post-colonial countries' political, social and cultural environments, whether the cloth is worn as clothing in Africa or displayed in museums abroad.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Anthropology, Department of<br>Graduate
