International Conference on Intelligent Textiles & Mass Customisation – ITMC 2019

The 7th edition of the International Conference on Intelligent Textiles and Mass Customization - ITMC 2019 was held in the Marrakech, Morocco, from 13th to 15th November 2019. The Conference was organized by the Higher School of Textile and Clothing Industries (ESITH), in partnership with Ghent University in Belgium, the National School of Arts and Textile Industries (ENSAIT) in France, Shinshu University in Japan and CTT Group of Canada. The ITMC 2019 conference interdisciplinary approach is the key to maximizing the potential and development of textile materials for various applications. The purpose of the conference is to explore new ideas, effective solutions and collaborative partnerships for business growth by catalyzing the creation of a beneficial synergy between designers, manufacturers, suppliers and end-users from all sectors and making full use of this potential. The themes of the ITMC conference focus on smart textiles and mass personalization: advanced manufacturing, comfort, digital tools, design methodologies, connected composites, mass customization, e-textile and e-commerce, smart and functional textiles, education and training, funding opportunities, supply chain management and logistics, sustainable production and recycling

Study on the Inuence of Calendaring Process on Thermal Resistance of Polypropylene Nonwoven Fabric Structure

Thepurposeofthispaperistoinvestigatetheinuenceofcalenderingprocessonpolypropylenenonwoven structureandthermalresistance. Thestudywasfocusedontheinuenceofmassperunitarea, thickness, density, porosity, characteristic opening size and additional thermal bonding by calendering. Thermal resistance of polypropylene nonwoven fabric manufactured using the mechanical carding process and bonding using the needling process, where a part of the samples was additionally bonded by the thermal calendering process, were investigated. The nonwoven fabrics were tested for thermal resistance on the guarded hot plate. Statistical analyses were performed to examine the signicance between the observed parameters. Correlation matrix analyses were used to reveal relationship behaviour among the variables. A change in structure of the calendered samples caused a considerably lower thermal resistance i.e. better thermal conductivity. A change of the average value of thermal resistance after calendering related to non-calendered fabric mass between 150 and 500 g/m2 ranged from 53.9 to 41.0%. With increasing nonwoven fabric mass, the dierence between thermal resistances of needled and needled as well as additionally bonded by calendering the nonwoven fabric was reduced

Inuence of Pressure on Water Permeability and Characteristic Opening Size of Nonwoven Geotextiles

Nonwoven geotextiles manufactured by mechanical carding process and bonding by needling process are investigated in this paper. Part of the samples was additionally bonded by thermal calendaring process. Sampling was conducted according to the standard for geotextile with certain modications. The samples were tested for water permeability perpendicular to the plane of samples using loads of 2, 20 and 200 kPa. Characteristic opening size of geotextiles was tested using sieving method. Research shows that dierent applied pressures signicantly change structure and properties i.e. thickness and water permeability normal to the plain under load of geotextile

Inflammatory Molecules in Aqueous Humour and on Ocular Surface and Glaucoma Surgery Outcome

Purpose. To investigate the influence of inflammatory molecules in the aqueous humour and on the ocular surface on the outcome of glaucoma surgery. Methods. Thirty patients who needed antiglaucomatous surgery were included. The interleukin- (IL-) 8, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) α; and IL-12 were determined from aqueous humour preoperatively and the imprints of conjunctiva were analysed for expression of human leukocyte antigen- (HLA-)-DR after surgery by flow cytometry. The success of trabeculectomy was defined as intraocular pressure less than 21 mmHg without antiglaucoma medication. Results. Eyes with trabeculectomy failure at 3 months showed significantly higher TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the aqueous than eyes with successful surgery. Increased expression of HLA-DR on epithelial cells and antigen-presenting cells was not associated with the trabeculectomy outcome. Conclusions. Higher preoperative levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in aqueous humour may contribute to the development of inflammatory milieu and were associated with worse outcome of glaucoma surgery

Purification and some Properties of Proteinases from Calf Thymus

Calf thymus was used for the investigation of intracellular proteinases. The tissue was homogenized, centrifuged at a low speed and applied on DEAE-cellulose. Active fractions were collected and their proteolytic activity toward different protein substrates was tested. It was found that several proteinases are present in thymus; cathepsin D being the most abundant acid proteinase. The activitiy at neutral pH was ascribed to fibrinogen degrading proteinases

Veränderungen der sensorischen Eigenschaften und des Carotinoid- Gehalts von Marillen nach der Verarbeitung (Trocknen)

Untersucht wurden zehn getrocknete Marillenprodukte um festzustellen, welche Carotinoidgehalte die am österreichischen Markt erhältlichen getrockneten Marillen aufweisen und welche sensorischen Eigenschaften sie besitzen, um die Frage zu klären, ob sich getrocknete, geschwefelte Marillen von den nicht geschwefelten getrockneten Marillen unterscheiden. Die Carotinoidkonzentrationen wurden mittels HPLC bestimmt. Zur Beurteilung der sensorischen Eigenschafften wurde eine Quantitative Deskriptive Analyse durchgeführt.For the determination ten dried apricots were analysed in order to evaluate the carotenoid content and sensory properties of dried apricots which are commercially available in Austria and also the comparison of sufurated dried and non sulfurated dried apricots. The carotenoid content was analysed by HPLC. The sensory evaluation was performed by using the Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA)

Enzymes of a microbiological origin as additives into the milk industry
