Study on the Influence of Carding Process Parameters on Yarn Quality Based on Central Composite Design

Journal of Natural Fibers
Carding affects fiber opening, transfer, and yarn formation, but yarn quality indicators may respond differently when carding settings change together with yarn linear density.

Evenness and hairiness measurement of chenille yarn based on an improved pixel difference convolution for the pixel difference network

Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics
To address the challenge of quality measurement in fancy yarns, an improved Pixel Difference Convolution (PDC) for the Pixel Difference Network (PiDiNet) is proposed for measuring the evenness and hairiness of chenille yarn. A computer vision-based image

Impact of Weft Yarn Structure and Fiber Type on Weft Yarn Velocity and Twist Loss in Air-Jet Weaving: A Critical Review

Journal of Natural Fibers
Air-jet weaving is an innovative weaving technique that uses friction between the yarn surface and air stream to propel the weft yarn. The interaction between the yarn surface and air is complex and affects weft yarn motion.

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Stochastic Simulation of Hairiness with Compact Spinning Yarn

, 2011
Reducing yarn hairiness is the greatest ascendancy for compact spinning. Based on the test of fiber length distribution, the hairiness of compact yarn is simulated in order to study the rule of hairiness producing.

Changing practices, not just rules: Rethinking the institutionalisation of deliberative engagement

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract When Victoria introduced legislation requiring all 79 councils to adopt deliberative engagement, 92% continued practices the legislation had just removed. This paradox reveals a fundamental challenge in embedding democratic innovations within existing systems of government: legislation signals commitment but cannot disrupt entrenched ...
