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...

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...

This book explores the cutting-edge advancements in textile and polymer implants, their impact on health, and their role in enhancing quality of life. Written by a leading textile expert, it provides a comprehensive overview of current technologies, applications, and future trends in the field.

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...

This book addresses the climate risk influencing biodiversity globally and discusses the sustainable use of biological diversity and its legal implications. The sustainable bio-prospecting will help conservation regarding the resources and livelihood support of those who conserve it from the UN CBD perspective. In mega bio-diverse countries, biodiversity provides a number of ecosystem services as well as sources of income/livelihood for millions of poor and they are also the home of a vast...

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...

Some loves are never spoken. Never confessed. Never returned. But they are felt — deeply, completely, in every small thing a person does when nobody is watching.This is one such love.He drove through the night for her. Decoded a hill from a photograph at dawn for her. Sat on a moonlit beach and gave her everything he had — without asking for a single thing back. Wrote notes she cried over. Made sacrifices she never fully understood. And when the worst moment of his life arr...

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 ...

The Memoirs of a Few narrates a series of events that happened in the life of a few people with unique perspectives towards life. These narratives uncover the saga of a Brahmin family with a long history of migration.Keerthi, several generations down the line of the migrated group of Brahmins, believes, like his predecessors, that he is just one among the group who follow a particular pattern of living that cannot be related to a religion. Bashful by nature with repressed feelings, ...

There was terrible violence in North East Delhi in the last days of February 2020. Fifty-four people were killed, many were wounded, and a large number of people lost their livelihoods. No one denies the fact of the violence. What is disputed is who is responsible for the violence and how the violence must be described.In nine sharp and insightful essays, leading writers, activists, artists, journalists, and a jurist analyse the course of events, fix culpability, diagnose the condition of ...
