The integration of AI into textile manufacturing represents the latest paradigm shift, enabling unprecedented levels of automation, precision, and efficiency. The advent of mechanization in the 18th and 19th centuries introduced power looms and high-speed ring spinning machines, thus significantly increasing output but still relying heavily on human oversight. Today, AI-driven systems are revolutionizing every stage of textile production—from fiber selection and yarn spinning to fabric fin...

As prime minister of Britain, Winston Churchill had ordered the preparation of an imperial strategy with the intention of Balkanizing India and tightening Britain's post-war hold over her. The strategy envisaged two Pakistans, one in the west and the other in the east, both large in size at India's expense; the west to include the non-Muslim east Punjab; the east, the whole of Bengal (despite Hindus comprising almost half the population), and the predominantly Hindu Assam. Within her borde...

The denim industry stands at a crossroads. For decades, it has been synonymous with durability, style, and cultural significance, but its environmental footprint—marked by excessive water consumption, chemical pollution, and textile waste—has become unsustainable. This book serves as a clarion call for change, introducing transformative innovations reshaping denim production through the lens of sustainability. It explores how circularity, raw material selection, advanced garment finishing,...

The development of textile and polymer composites represents one of the most transformative advancements in materials science over the past century. These materials, which combine fibrous reinforcements with polymer matrices, have revolutionized industries ranging from aerospace to biomedical engineering. The modern era of composites began in the mid-20th century with the advent of synthetic polymers and high-performance fibers like PEEK, aramids, and carbon. The aerospace industry was amo...

Domestic tourism in developing countries is rapidly outstripping international tourism and could soon involve ten times the numbers. This is an examination of the numbers involved, their profile, behaviour, impacts and the relevant policy responses. The volume looks at the impacts of local mass tourism in various socio-economic and environmental contexts and on diverse social groups. It provides analysis and overviews of seven of the main countries involved in Asia, Africa and Latin Americ...

The field of textile-based microfluidics represents a groundbreaking convergence of textile engineering, materials science, and biomedical technology. These devices leverage the inherent properties of textiles—such as flexibility, porosity, and capillarity—to manipulate fluids at the microscale, enabling innovative applications in diagnostics, environmental sensing, and wearable technologies. The origins of this interdisciplinary field can be traced back to the early 2000s, when researcher...

Textbook of Pathology by V Krishna bridges the gap between the basic sciences on the one hand and the clinical sciences on the other. In any approach to disease diagnosis and management, application of the knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis is of paramount importance. This book has been written with this in mind. An introductory chapter on Systemic Pathology lists out all important definitions. Clinical aspects of diseases represented in maroon screen boxes. Morphologic aspects of dise...

Life often seems confusing and illusory. Is the past, present, and future interconnected? Is everything only a simulation? What is the relationship between life and perception? Just at the moment when it becoming increasingly difficult for the protagonist to distinguish real from unreal, and he is pondering these philosophical questions, an alien who claims to be his friend from a previous birth appears in front of him. In the conversation that ensues between them, the protagonist and his ...
