Fashion - Science topic

Hi, I have a major issue to discuss. There are two undergrads who are keeping our incubator open for many minutes because they are very slow in retrieving and putting back their plate. I am worried that this will lead to increased variability in my cell culture experiment. This is a serious question. I was wondering if anyone else also has slow undergrads and what the best way to deal with them is?

I was thinking about either buying a new Co2 incubator and putting a no "undergrad" sign on it or having a seminar on how to open and close Co2 incubators in timely fashion!

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hello! 😁 I am conducting a research study as part of my final treatise in the Master of Applied Psychology program at the University of Southern California. This study explores how dress code policies impact employees' experiences in the luxury fashion industry. If you currently work in luxury fashion retail and are over 18, I invite you to participate in a short, confidential survey (approximately 10 minutes✅) about your workplace experiences. Your insights will help contribute to a better understanding of workplace practices in this industry. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out! Thank you for your time and support.

My name is Anila, and I am a senior fashion student at Thomas Jefferson University. As this is my final semester, I am currently working on my thesis, for which I have chosen CLO 3D software as my research topic.I would be honored if you anyone could mentor me for this project. Your guidance would be invaluable in helping me understand the software’s pros and cons in depth and explore potential solutions.

I’m researching extrinsic/emotional durability in sustainable fashion, particularly regarding recent EU and French measures. The EU’s Waste Framework Directive might highlight extrinsic durability as influenced by “industrial and commercial strategies,” which lead to products being discarded “before reaching their potential lifetime.”

The Council links these strategies - such as overproduction and frequent collection renewals - to consumer habits, overconsumption, and increased textile waste. Article 22(3a) connects these practices to waste generation, emphasizing the frequency of new collections and the volume of items produced as contributing factors.

While the Council focuses on its defined concept of extrinsic durability, the 'emotional' aspect is notably absent. I’m curious about how their perspective could be expanded to view extrinsic and emotional durability as interconnected elements of sustainable fashion strategies. Additionally, I am exploring whether specific business models can be directly linked to extrinsic durability and how they influence consumer behavior and product lifespan.

Can anyone please assist with articles from an indigenous vantage point on the influence of ethnicity on Fashion in Manufacturing?

I’m studying IT, but at first, I wasn’t very focused or enjoying my studies. Recently, I’ve started studying harder, and I’m enjoying learning new things now. However, I sometimes feel like I’m not good enough. There are times when I write code without fully understanding its purpose. I want to choose a clear path in my studies. Currently, I’m studying AI and databases.

What do you suggest for me? What are the basics I must know? Which algorithms should I focus on? Do you have any recommendations for books, YouTube videos, or articles that I can read to improve and deepen my knowledge?

A friend of mine suggested combining fields—choosing an area of interest (like psychology, fashion, art, etc.) and integrating it with IT. This way, I could enjoy my studies much more.

In short, I’m looking for advice to help me improve and make my studies more meaningful.

The term "deglobalization" has become widespread both in everyday language and in the scientific community. At the same time, as a rule, few people pay attention to the fact that in this case we are talking essentially about the development of globalization in reverse, i.e. in the opposite direction. But how is this possible if globalization is, first of all, an objectively historical process?

My case study has to link existing fashion brands or designers to ’the systems model’ by Howard Gardner. The general idea is that it needs to relate to the impact of The New Economy on brands/designers, but I can’t seem to find a good starting point - any suggestions or resources that you would recommend.

(I understand this description is brief however this is all the information I have been able to coax out of my professors)

I am the person who is studying in fashion technology I want learn more about that .so ,now I want to know about merchandising.

Identity and fashion have a link in the physical world and thesis aims to claim the same to be true for the virtual world. If this is true then the same elements for businesses should apply to gain customers to buy and use product.

I came to know that Hank (Heterogeneous Agents New Keynesian) models are now in fashion. I skipped two papers on Hank. Those economists who work in Hank boast that this and that that were impossible in Rank (Representative Agent New Keynesian) models became possible. They may be right with this regards.

I have a question. What are the problems that are common to Hank and Rank models?

For example, Rank and Hank both assume the validity of central bank interest rate policy. In the case of Japanese economy, it was not very effective for about 30 years. The very validity of interest rate policy is questioned. Then, I want to know if there are good empirical works that estimated the dimension of peoples’ reaction (in the economy as a whole) to the change of interest rate, especially when the interest rate is very low (or nearly zero).

I am currently working on a topic for my Master's thesis that deals with sustainable EU policies in the fashion and textile sector, specifically topics such as #ESPR, #Ecodesign, #PEFCR or similar with a focus on business. I am keen to gain deeper insights and suggestions from experienced professionals in the field and welcome any relevant focus areas that you feel warrant investigation in this area.

Thank you:)

The aim of my research is to elucidate the what moral discourse is evident in the communication of the fashion brand Golden Goose regarding the intentional distressing of fashion items (the so-called ‘used look’).

My research plan for a Master thesis is:

1/ content analysis of the international website of the fashion brand Golden Goose

2/ Qualitative interviews with Golden Goose consumers

I plan to apply the functional theory of attitudes framework, focusing specifically on the utilitarian function and value-expressive function.

The difficulty I have is in applying the content analysis to the webpage, specifically the development of a code book, how should I proceed ?

This question is significant because abstract art, as a form of non-representational art, challenges our traditional notions of art and its relationship to reality. By exploring the ways in which art can shape our perceptions and understanding of the world, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the power of art to influence our cognitive processes and our relationship with reality. Furthermore, understanding the importance and trending of non-representational art in real life can provide insights into the current state of the art world and the cultural values of our society. By examining the ways in which non-representational art is being used in various contexts, such as in advertising, fashion, and interior design, we can gain a better understanding of the role that art plays in shaping our cultural identity and influencing our daily lives.

If digital and analogous worlds are assumed to be complementary, where do I find things such as digital culture, nature or fashion? Is there a trail to digital nature?

This question inquires about the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) affects Influencer Marketing specifically within the Fashion Industry, and it asks for an exploration of the different aspects or dimensions of this impact. It seeks to understand how AI is changing and shaping the way fashion influencers and brands collaborate and promote products.

Thanks for your collaboration

Dear participant, this is a research aimed at academics and fashion professionals, in which it is intended to analyze the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of garments. This research is being developed by Herlane Cruz Bastos, a graduate of the Fashion Design and Styling course at the Federal University of Piauí, under the guidance of Dr. Professor Simone Ferreira de Albuquerque. The objective of the study is to identify conceivable ways in which Artificial Intelligence can be used in the process of creating and developing fashion products, as well as identifying potential benefits and challenges. Your participation is extremely important for the development of this research. Her name will be kept confidential and, in case of doubt, the researcher will be at her complete disposal via email: herlane.bastos@ufpi.edu.br. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Yes, a fashion designing and training institute could potentially be used as a front organization by individuals or groups with ulterior motives. While the majority of fashion designing institutes operate with legitimate intentions to provide education and training in the field of fashion, there have been cases where such institutions have been exploited for other purposes.

Here are a few reasons why a fashion designing and training institute could be used as a front organization:

It's important to emphasize that while these risks exist, the majority of fashion designing institutes are genuine educational institutions. However, if you have concerns about a specific institute, it's advisable to conduct due diligence, research their background and reputation, read reviews and testimonials, and verify their legitimacy through official channels.

If you suspect any illegal or unethical activities within a fashion designing institute or any other organization, it's important to report your concerns to the appropriate authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies.

All of a sudden everybody is talking about ChatGTP as an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and about AI. Governments and all sorts of businesses are delighted but also concerned about the effects of AI.

Besides ChatGTP we have applications such as ChatGTP Writer, DeepL Translater, Midjourney, Durable, Rytr, Jasper, Copy.ai, Synthesia and Looka.

Deep fake campaigns can be written. The Pope e.g., was wearing a fashionable jacket and President Trump was resisting in an AI-generated arrest. Fake can look very real.

What are the threats of AI, what are the benefits? What is the state of the art of AI? What is the situation in your country? What are scientists doing in your country about AI?

Mostly life teaches you things that you cannot simply find from reading and writing. We are limited to our hands and eyes, acquire and interpret information to our head. Life is much more, it appeals to all our senses of touch, smell, sight, feeling and so on. Different experiences are valuable, different emotions are valuable. Anger is mostly deemed the destructive emotion, one is suggested to refrain away from it. However, fear teaches us to not cross the red-line, Sadness teaches us about the consequences of our expectations, Joy teaches us to be hopeful ,and great-full. The world feels like a pale blue dot in the heavens, but yet it is almost a never ending horizon to our sights. Everything is fashioned so beautifully ,and with complete meaning. We strive to be a loving person for people, all around the world. We should strive for good company and also help those who need it. We should be able to share our thoughts, persuade different individuals in positive limelight. Make a difference with our hearts!

Hi, I would like to find articles/journals related to Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) in fashion and textiles. can you share articles/journals published in 2021 and 2022?

Fashion, Readymade Garments, and Textiles are responsible for air, water, and soil pollution that is threatening carbon emissions, global warming, and climate change. Bangladesh is a country which is the 2nd largest RMG exporting country. Bangladesh is earning its bread from the cost of environmental pollution and induced climate change. (Pic: Internet)

Dear fellows,

Could you indicate relevant conferences dedicated to the textile and fashion research field and industry ?

Please advise.

Thank you!

I need informations about the history of fashion Images including illustrations and fashion photography.

More and more adults are sharing content and photos of their children on social networks, but will this have negative consequences? It's a fashion?

📷

The cities that might be influenced can be dispersed into :

1. Street Fashion

2. High End Brand Fashion

3. Street Surfer / Beach Fashion

4. Contemporary Fashion

5. Musical fashion

I am trying to understand,

Q1: What causes spice simulations to not converge specifically if the model is implemented in a piecewise fashion?

Q2: Is the problem caused to the variable time-step used in SPICE and how?

Q3: If implemented in a fixed-step solver, will the convergence problem still exist?

Few points related to this question

1. Continuity of the piecewise model is not known. (maybe discontinuous)

2. each piece is continuous and differentiable.

Can the convergence/divergence be proved mathematically?

In economic-speak, occasionally one can find an author relating (economic) 'goods' to (something morally or ethically) 'good'. Which is pretty strange, because other than through the word 'good' those two meaning have nothing to do with each other. In Dutch, very few people indeed will relate 'goederen' (goods) to 'goed' (right, just). Because the first word is a plural, the second an adjective and their distinction detracts from a closer possible association than 'goods' and 'good' (4 letters versus just 1).

With 'right', there is no visible difference. Whereas the Dutch equivalent of 'right', the word 'recht', has the meaning of 'straight' and no meaning of 'just'.

Do you know if there is socio-linguistic research that points out how certain language-specific features or time-framed fashions have shaped scientific development?

I am aiming to distribute an online survey through social media with the target audience being generation z consumers that purchase in the fashion industry. I wasn't sure what type of sampling method would be used for this as I need to include this in my research proposal.

Thank you in advance!

please suggest questionnaire on the following topics:

Consumer-based brand equity,

Firm-created content,

Purchase intentions of fashion products.

The apparel value chain has shifted from the west to east around two decades ago. From mass production to mass consumption, the east suffers it all. Best Practices from the west do not work much in the east as the east needs economic development throughout the value chain. Thoughts?

Hi, I need this paper to observe a subject on fashion through history. Does anybody has a full text of this paper from the journal Tekstil, vol 60 number 10 pages 518-to 521  ?

Recently, a fashion developed to post preprints on RG or other web media.

As a reminder preprints are manuscripts, thus submitted research that did not underwent the reviewing process.

This is a way of sharing research faster would say some. Indeed, we are unfortunately living in an accelerating world, and science does not stay alongside the road.

However, I see here some reasons to doubt about the possible benefits of posting preprints:

· The benevolent work of the associated Editors and Reviewers is somewhat non-respected, denigrated. It is already sometimes difficult to find some reviewers, and such lack of consideration may lead to really loose the interest for reviewing.

· Ideas or findings in preprints are spread away from their initial scientific domains. For geology (my domain), this may not be a critical problem. But for the medical domain, and overall nowadays, spreading non-quality checked ideas/concepts/results may have some consequences. If the manuscript is rejected, then only the authors are really aware. But the diffusion of the ideas/concepts/results that are rejected is done. This can lead to serious issues.

· There is a risk of plagiarism-related problems. As illustrated by a case raised in a question here on RG, ideas/concepts/results are shared with a community. The manuscript can be rejected or necessitate significant revisions, and then during this period, others may have time to re-bake the ideas/concepts/results of the initial preprint and publish them faster somewhere else. A game of “table tennis prosecution for plagiarism” may then start.

Meetings, conferences are the places to introduce some advances, some “half-baked” ideas (as would have said R. Bathurst), and they should continue to play this role. I think we should let the peer-review process to do its job, but I may be wrong.

Ideas, comments, all welcome!

Hi everyone, I am a master student at Erasmus University of Rotterdam and I am currently researching the topic of sustainability in the fashion industry and transparency in its communication tactics. I am looking for respondents for my research! I would really appreciate it if you can fill in the survey below and help me graduate!

The typical harmonic or morse potential for modeling bonds model energy levels in a continuous fashion. Are there any molecular/bond models that recreate intermolecular collisions in such a way that energy exchange between the translational and vibrational levels happens as per the laws of quantum mechanics?

Let us take a rubber (or plastic) pipe that discharges water into the atmosphere.

If we squeeze the pipe wall on two opposite sides a couple of diameters ahead of its free end, but without closing it (i.e., in principle by letting the flow free to go), an instability phenomenon will occur.

At the squeezed site, the water pressure goes under the atmospheric one (because afterwards the cross section increases), so the pipe tends to close up and no flow occurs. But then, the pressure before the squeezed site builts up (because no flow is occurring) and the flow starts up again. This behaviour turns out to be recurring.

Therefore, the flow at the pipe exit keeps pulsating in an unsteady fashion.

I wonder if anyone studied this phenomenon.

Dear All,

I am doing ligation of the padlock probe. The efficiency is pretty good (more than 90%). But I have a very simple question about this process.

As shown in the following figure, in normal ligation process of a padlock probe, a single padlock probe is circularized by ligase. But according to simple math, events like two padlock probes are ligated in a head-to-tail fashion should also happen.

So I just wander, why the ligation process does not go on according to the theoretical probability, but insteand, prefer a intramolecular circularization reaction?

Best regards

I know how to get the data of one company from this database, but I don't know how to search for a particular industry from the Compustat database?

For example, if I want to get a GAP company's data, I just need to enter the company code and the required variables. But if I want to get access to all of the fashion companies in this database, this method would not work.

Firstly, I am not sure how many fashion-related companies are in this database.

Besides, I can't search for them one by one, it's time-consuming and some fashion companies' codes are missing.

So is there a relevant Stata program to remotely download the data from the database, as I need to process this data in Stata later? Or is there another easy way to download data for a particular industry?

Many thanks in advance!!

I have just entered the doctoral program in Arts and Design at UNAM (México), and it would help me a lot to have more sources of information to carry out my research and thesis related to Fashion Films. I would thank you a lot.

Is there any open-source algorithm/software/tool available for manually labelling fashion images for semantic segmentation in an end-to-end manner?

In order to test classification with deep learning CNN architectures, what are the different variations of MNIST datasets available. Like there is MNIST, Fashion MNIST, 3D MNIST, etc.

What are the different variations of MNIST datasets available ?

If you're doing kinase activity assays the old fashion way with radioactive labelled ATP and peptide substrate you might use P81 cation exchange chromatography paper to capture the peptide. Whatman, now GE Healtcare has stopped the production and I can't find anywhere to buy this P81 paper anymore. I figure that if everybody who is in need of this product contacts GE Healthcare and ask them to start production again, we might get them to do it. So please help.

The world has been changing fast and taking new strides in almost every field, however, the ecosystem of journal publications is still the same old fashioned. As a consequence the high quality research is not timely published and this losings its relevance.

I am looking for sotware(s) that can allow anyone to visualize process models & sub-processes, allowing to share them in a collaborative way . It can be a mix of tools that can be combined to provide an intuitive platform to work within a kind of process framework management system.

Maybe remark of article alternative.

I wrote a few years ago article (in Slovak) trying to adapt the rebound effect (RE) analysed very often in the energy and material field on the marketing decision process.

I am recently working on a survey aiming to find if there could be a benefit for fast fashion (FF) producers to participate actively in second-hand markets, swap, upcycling, and other alternative fashion processes.

Looking at FF impact on the market seems to me as a very traditional RE. If the rebound principle is included in the textile and fashion purchase decision, "sustainability" education will fail their goals massively.

The question is how to prove the RE impact of FF offer? I can imagine using statistical data by traditional market (1970) and new market (2000) with change analysis in the different price range. As a citizen of the post-communist country, I have no relevant data about pre FF markets.

Are there other alternatives how to prove the rebound effect by customer decision about clothes and textile purchase?

Sound it interesting?

Hi researchers,

I am currently working on my dissertation about fashion, and the difficulty that many transgender women find while searching for comfortable clothing during their coming out and transitioning period.

I need to collect data from my survey questionnaire available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6Y6DV57.

I am not having much luck with respondents.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where else I could post it? Currently it is on Redditt, Facebook.

Time is running out fast!

Thank you and kind regards.

This happened to me 3 times, with me or my supervisors involved in the same paper. I feel frustrated and the feeling to start over again from the scratch is overwhelming. Normally, we submit it, then the reviewers who have labs with more technology and are able to redo our experiments in a more "elegant fashion" reject it and redo it. We made it once with human cells, they used animal cells. The one without "specific reasons for rejection" just happened last week... When I looked at pubmed to update our data after 1 month writing and submitting, there were 29 papers with the same theme, that did not exist when we started submitting it.

If this happened to you too, what did you do to overcome it? Is it very common in nowadays science?

I couldn't find Uni-dimensional scales to measure ethical consumption in luxury fashion brands. Kindly recommend or suggest any reference having such items or scales.

Thanks

I would like to know if anyone knows clothes used for emancipation like Bloomers, or people who fought for women freedom like Flappers!

Hello,

the formula to calculate the number of individuals given the initial population size is:

Nₜ = rᵗN₀

where Nₜ is the number of individuals at time t, N₀ is the initial number of individuals and r is the net reproductive rate. For bacteria, I reckon I can change it to:

Nₜ = μᵗN₀

where μ is the specific growth rate of a given bacterium. For Escherichia coli, I have found a value of 0.72. Now, bacteria are modeled to grow in a logistic fashion, thus I need to introduce the term 1-N/K where K is the carrying capacity of the environment. Hence, I need to convert these equations in equivalents containing the logistic term. I have found the Verhulst equation:

Nₜ₊₁ = μNₜ(1-Nₜ/K)

and the Ricker's curve:

Nₜ₊₁ = Nₜexp[μ(1-Nₜ/K)]

but these calculate the increase at the next time interval, e.g. from the beginning of the experiment to 1 hour after. However, these do not contain the term t that allows me to calculate the population expansion at any given time, for instance 24 hours after the beginning of the experiment. My questions are:

Thank you

Started my dissertation on this topic & chose Zaha Hadid as a key guiding me to start. As she collaborated with many Fashion brands during her period of time while she was working on architectural projects.

Fast fashion is being widely criticized either due to environmental or human rights issues and is having a negative impact on the world. Mass production generates tons of waste, has a great environmental impact and affects the poor working conditions of many people.

The sharing economy model argues that renting is better than owning (cars, vacation homes or even clothes). This system is taking over different markets and one of them is fashion.

Questions:

Would you be willing to use a virtual platform to exchange, donate or buy the clothes that you and other people have stored in the closet and that you no longer use?

What would be your attitude to make exchanges: altruistic, economic or ensure sustainability by extending the useful life of clothes that no longer use?

I am in search of those who are familiar with the French & European societies at the end of 1700s to join me in writing a book as my co-authors.

The book is on Marie Antoinette. Looking at her from different angles (psychoanalysis, her effects today on different parts of the world, queen of fashion and endless many more).

My 1st chapter which is researched historic non-fiction biography is almost finished. I want others to add chapters to the book> Chapters will be published under your names.

Academic knowledge of English is a must, French is helpful. Knowing the history of France in 1700s is a must.

Recently, the Aymara intellectual Silvia Rivera Cusicanquí (Bolivia), has pointed out that "the decolonial is a fashion, the postcolonial a desire and the anti-colonial a struggle." Through this, she posits that in the face of the exhausted epistemological horizon of Eurocentric modernity there is a renewed interest in the knowledge that emerges in the context of the struggles for decolonization, however, there is no real political commitment on the part of scientists. The author points out: "the decolonial is a very recent fashion that, in some way, usufructs and reinterprets those processes of struggle, but I think it depoliticizes them, since the decolonial is a state or a situation but it is not an activity, it does not imply an agency, nor a conscious participation. I put the anti-colonial struggle into practice in fact, in some way, delegitimizing all forms of objectification and ornamental use of what is indigenous by the State. All of these are processes of symbolic colonization. "

I am interested in hearing and reading critical opinions about the decolonial turn in academic fashion. My question arises from some observations:

a) Epistemological violence in the social sciences that is claimed to be decolonial continues to be exercised from the Eurocentric "epistemological ratio". Where Latin America becomes a simple field of study. And where those of us who reflect from within the struggles for decolonization are erased from the map of knowledge production, since our texts are not referenced or academic extractivism is simply generated stealing local knowledge, exercising new forms of "indigenous folklorization".

b) The main references of decolonial thought are located in universities in hegemonic countries. The intellectual activists of Latin America who have a conscious ethic and struggle with social movements are excluded from the circuits of intellectual debate.

c) An important fracture of decolonial studies occurs in the defense of the Nation State and the progressive left governments of Latin America, such as Evo Morales and Maduro, and a rejection of radical left or indigenous proposals that are raised from anti-state perspectives , libertarian and autonomous.

d) The depoliticization and lack of ethics of many researchers who claim to be decolonial, who through practices of academic extractivism seek to scrutinize indigenous knowledge, have been financed with multi-million dollar research projects, financed by companies and state research corporations (Por example mitzubichi corporation), and whose impacts have contributed nothing to the struggles of those who dispute the territory.

I work primarily within the fashion sector. A major problem facing many of my clients at the moment is the impact of the Coronavirus enforced measures, as bricks and mortar retail stores temporarily close on a global basis. There are also interruptions within the international supply chain, but the potential of burgeoning opportunities within e-commerce, via domestic and international distributors.

Whilst securing the safety of workers is paramount, mitigating the risk of economic paralysis is also important, and we are considering what measures can be taken to enhance e-commerce sales and the international digital market, and collating statistics and qualitative research to this effect.

HR usually faces fashions like engagement, performance appraisals, home office, etc. After the pandemics of COVID-19, that will change our premises, process, and beliefs, looking five years ahead, in your opinion, what will be the next HR fashion?

I have developed the conceptual framework referring to previous literature. My research is about omnichannel marketing of fashion retail industry. Would there be any guide on developing a questionnaire that I can refer to?

For hexahedral meshing, it is quite simple to divide one edge in a particular number of division. But for tetrahedral meshing it is not that simple. If we are using a complicated domain for aerodynamic flow and if it is difficult for doing the hexahedral meshing, then how to divide the edge in element in that fashion and what thing must be kept in mind while doing the grid convergence study.

How does the climate change shape our behavioural pattern and why? Your educated comments will be highly honoured.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the face mask is having its hour in the spotlight. Designers are making fashion masks; painters are creating one-of-a-kind mask masterpieces; companies are ‘masking’ their logos.

Hi everybody,

looking at the current literature I found different ways to define not resident cardiac macrophages that are found at different time points after myocardial infarction (MI).

While somebody in 2020 still uses the "old fashion" M1/M2 definition (M1 inflammatory in the first days after MI and M2 reparative after 5-7 days after MI), in other articles authors claim that this is not correct nowadays, but without proposing a consensus alternative.

In line with the foregoing, which is the correct definition to use in a scientific article?

Thanks to everybody who will help me with this intricate topic.

I am trying to calculate the electrostatic potential surface of a 3D polymer model for which I can calculate the point charges of each bead. Is there any tool to produce such a surface, more or less in the fashion of atomistic protein models?

Thanks!

Hi, I am looking for a list of questionnaire items (for Likert scale) in order to measuring "consumer's attitude towards luxury" like what (DUBOIS et al, 2005) employed, to develop my own specifically for fashion and apparel industry.

It seems to be time-consuming to check each paper in the field! Do you know A publication "containing" such items?

Thanks

I worked in the procurement profession for > 10 years. Recently I have read nearly 1/2 dozen trade articles which described of cancelled thousands fashion/textile orders. Is this caused by geopolitics events, healthcare activities and/or potential recession? I am interested in global opinions.

1. I am processing my umbrella sampling simulations using the Weighted Histogram Analysis Method in Gromacs (gmx wham). However, I would like to report the mean dG and a standard deviation. To do this I plan on using bsProfs.xvg, which contains all 100 bootstrapping profiles (i.e. used the flag -nBootstrap 100), to derive a mean dG and a standard deviation. However, I do not wish to manually estimate the dG by inspecting the well depth of each individual profile. Is there an automated script available to do this?

2. Additionally, for greatest accuracy of the error estimate, do I need to run replicas of all umbrella sampling windows or is it sufficient to run these once, provided that the histograms are sufficiently overlapping?

Thanks so much in advance!

EDIT: I have now prepared a script to calculate mean dG and stdev (part 1.) but still I require an answer to part 2. re the requirement for replicas.

Every time we turn on the television we see anti wrinkle creams, diets, fashion shows with models with impossible bodies, hair treatments, and that, little by little, is installed in our brain. They do not show us the reality: that wrinkles at a certain age are inevitable, that when we grow we get stretch marks and cellulite, that we have one breast bigger than another, that women can be as bare as men ...

And then we try to resemble those ideals that have sold us massively, and instead of seeing strangers those bodies passed by hundreds of advisors and operations, we see ours as rare.

How dangerous it is to spend more hours in front of the TV, than on the street, you don't know how much they can deceive us

Hello,

The signifcant contribution of fashion industry to (micro)plastic pollution is well known. Therefore, I was wondering if there was any sort of regulated control on the raw materials used for manufacturing clothes, with particular regard to testing required?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am currently working on my graduate project about transparent CSR communication, and are looking for people who is willing to contribute to a survey about the topic. You do not need to work or be a researcher within fashion, it could be any sector. Your participation will be anonymously and kept strictly confidential. If you are interested, please click the link: https://forms.gle/XzXUNyA4EEj8cGXr5

Thank you in advance!

As the fashion industry has started to realise how important corporate responsibility towards the environment and society is, the communication of the responsible business initiatives and the promotion of responsible products becomes crucial. However, the communication has often been labelled to be greenwashing which creates distrust among consumers and other stakeholders. How can brands and companies in the fashion industry improve CSR communication to avoid claims of Greenwashing?

We recently had a tech that passed through who ordered Q5 for her mutagenesis PCRs. She clearly had things working because she created 10-20 constructs that I checked the sequences for. However, she is no longer here, there's a ton of Q5 left, and her notebook is quite vague. I've only used Phusion for mutagenesis, and cannot seem to get the Q5 to work in a similar fashion. I see that the kits sold by NEB include a KLD enzyme kit, but I don't think she was using that, or at least I can't find it anywhere. Our tech is trying to use the Q5 but getting no colonies after incubation with DpnI and transformation. The primers are complimentary with the desired mutation. Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks!

How are coding and data entered in a wtihin-subjects fashion for a theory of planned behaviour based questionnaire using indirect measures of the constructs.

I am also kindly requesting for expert reviewers for a TPB based instrument. Please indicate interest. thanks

Sharing economy is a term for a way of distributing goods and services, a way that differs from the traditional model of corporations hiring employees and selling products to consumers. In the sharing economy, individuals are said to rent or "share" things like their cars, homes and personal time to other individuals in a peer-to-peer fashion. one of the best example of shared economy is Uber Technologies Inc. So, My question is "how can we prepare the financial statements of like these companies? is there any accounting standard to deal with them?"

Every women seeks to be vivid and charm,

standards are changing as we speak. What was considered perfect-looking and gorgeous 10 years ago is totally different now. Each year some new feature comes up that makes women tweak their appearance just a little bit to match the new trend. Yet lately there’s been a positive shift towards natural beauty in fashion industry. This means less pressure on ladies to look skinny and bony both on catwalks and in real life. More plus models are appearing in fashion magazines and shops, reminding everyone of the diversity of female body shapes and personalities. As for India, one of its main beauty standards has always been a voluptuous woman, whose curves were a sign of health, wealth, and prosperity. This, too, changed with the fashion trends coming from the East, and now curvaceous Indian women are slowly taking back their positions both in real life and in fashion industry. Here are top 7 Indian plus models that look simply stunning.so are there new rules to make womens more happy and charm?
