Electrochemical Synthesis of an Organic Thermoelectric Power Generator.
2020
[EN] Energy harvesting through residual heat is considered one of the most promising ways to power wearable devices. In this work, thermoelectric textiles were prepared by coating the fabrics, first with multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using the layer-by-layer technique and second with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) deposited by electrochemical polymerization. Sodium deoxycholate and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) were used as stabilizers to prepare the aqueous dispersions of MWCNTs. The electrochemical deposition of PEDOT on the MWCNT-coated fabric was carried out in a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The polymerization of PEDOT on the fabric increased the…
Hybrid materials based on conductive polymers for energy harvesting
2022
Uno de los objetivos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) para el Desarrollo Sostenible 2030 es obtener energía asequible y no contaminante. Por este motivo, se recomiendan encarecidamente las mejoras en la eficiencia energética y las fuentes de energía verde como soluciones óptimas para reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono y, por tanto, reducir la huella de carbono de nuestra sociedad. Las emisiones de carbono se han cuadriplicado desde 1950 y actualmente contribuyen en torno al 80 % de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Como resultado de este cambio, el clima global sufre cambios en las tendencias globales de lluvia y una reducción en los casquetes polares. Co…
Per uno studio dei bozzetti della Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (XVIII-XIX secolo)
2019
Partendo dall’analisi di un gruppo di bozzetti della Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (XVIII-XIX secolo), l’autrice prende in esame il processo di interazione tra moda e sviluppo industriale nell’Europa del secondo Settecento, attraverso l’approfondimento dei processi di adattamento dei modelli orientali al gusto europeo e delle tecniche di stampa adottate in Europa Starting from the analysis of a group of sketches of the Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (18th-19th century), the author examines the process of interaction between fashion and industrial development in Europe in the second half of the 18th century, through an in-depth study of the processes of adaptation of oriental models to European…
Analyse multiéchelle d'un composite textile
2010
National audience; On propose dans cette étude d'expliquer le comportement mécanique d'un composite textile au travers d'un processus multiéchelle. Les propriétés mécaniques nécessaires à la réalisation des calculs ont été déterminées par une étude expérimentale préalable.
Analyse multiéchelle d'un composite textile = Multiscale analysis of a textile composite
2009
National audience; On propose dans cette étude de comprendre le comportement mécanique d'un composite textile. Pour ce faire, l'étude se scinde en deux parties distinctes. Dans cet article, nous présentons la modélisation multiéchelle qui fait suite à une étude expérimentale. Son objectif est double : comprendre la nature du comportement macroscopique observé et expliquer l'origine des endommagements susceptibles d'apparaître. L'étude expérimentale du matériau fait l'objet d'un premier article.
Quadriceps and hamstring muscle EMG activity during a football match
2012
Roudi Kalema (2012). Quadriceps and hamstring muscle EMG activity during a football match. Department of Biology of Physical, University of Jyvaskyla. Master’s Thesis in Exercise Physiology. 58 pages. Fatigue represents a reduction in the ability of muscle to generate force and in the context of football, it has been often related with injury. Surface electromyography is a valuable technique for evaluating muscle activation and fatigue but it has never been applied during a football match. The development of washable textile electrodes has opened up possibilities to investigate muscular activity in non-laboratory settings, without skin preparation and wires hanging around the body. It has a…
Paraísos de seda. Tejidos y bordados de las casas del Príncipe en los reales sitios de El Pardo y El Escorial.
2015
Las artes textiles, especialmente los tejidos de seda los bordados, jugaron una papel clave en la decoración de las Casas de Campo de Carlos IV de España cuando era todavía Príncipe de Asturias. La mayor parte de estos textiles se encargaron a la manufactura de Camille Pernon en Lyon (Francia) pero también hubo importantes comisiones a tejedores y bordadores españoles. Además del estudio, catalogación y análisis técnico de todos estos conjuntos textiles, en la presente tesis se ofrece una amplia visión del desarrollo de la decoración textil en la Europa de la Edad Moderna; La decoración con textiles de los Palacios Reales españoles y el funcionamiento del Real Oficio de Tapicería, responsab…

Heterogeneity of muscle activity during sedentary behavior
2016
Replacing sitting by standing has been hypothesized to reduce the health risks of sitting, based on the assumption that muscles are passive during sitting and active during standing. Interventions have been more effective in overweight (OW) than in normal weight (NW) individuals, but subjects’ muscle activities have not been quantified. This study compared quadriceps and hamstring muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity between 57 NW (body mass index (BMI) 22.5 ± 1.5 kg/m2, female n = 36) and 27 OW (BMI 28.4 ± 2.9 kg/m2, female n = 8) subjects during non-fatiguing standing (15 s, EMGstanding) and sitting (30 min). EMG amplitude was normalized to EMG measured during maximal isometric knee ex…
A New Perspective on the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Digital Transformation Era
2022
The textile and apparel (fashion) industry has been influenced by developments in societal socio-cultural and economic structures. Due to a change in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond economic value, the fashion industry is at the forefront of digitalization. The growing digitalization in the fashion industry corresponds to digital fashion, which can satisfy the rapid shift in consumers’ preferences. This paper explores the evolving con-cept of innovations in digital fashion in the textile and apparel industry. Specifically, it centers on the evaluation of Amazon’s digital fashion initiatives, which have made the platform the Un…
