DEFINITION: Pigment is a substrate in a particulate form which is insoluble in water but which can be dispersed in this medium to modify its color and light scattering properties. They are organic or inorganic coloring materials. They have no affinity to textile materials. They are fixed on the textile material with the help of binding agent in form a thin invisible coating.
Sizing is the process of giving a protective coating on the warp yarn to minimize yarn breakage during weaving.
Sizing is the most important operation in preparing warp yarn for weaving especially with cotton yarn. The smallest error in sizing process may be very harmful. This may increase warp breakage rate on the looms and consequently reduce weaving production and quality. Therefore sizing is termed as the “Heart of Weaving”.

Study of properties of banana fiber reinforced compositeseSAT Journals
Abstract Natural fiber composites are nowadays being used in various engineering applications to increase the strength and to optimise the weight and the cost of the product. Various natural fibres such as coir, sisal, jute, coir and banana are used as reinforcement materials. In this paper both treated and untreated banana fiber are taken for the development of the hybrid composite material. The untreated banana fiber is treated by sodium hydroxide to increase the wettability. The untreated banana fiber and sodium hydroxide treated banana fiber are used as reinforcing material for both Epoxy resin matrix and Vinyl ester resin matrix. Coconut shell powder is used along with both untreated and treated banana fiber as a reinforcing material. In this process the banana fiber is treated with 5% of sodium hydroxide for one hour and the specimen is fabricated by hand moulding process. The mould used for fabricating the hybrid composite material is made up of aluminium with a debonding agent applied on the inner side. The banana fiber content is kept constant to 30% of weight fraction of entire composite material. The variation in mechanical properties are studied and analyzed. Here, the tensile strength has calculated by universal testing machine, impact strength has calculated by pendulum impact tester and flexural strength has calculated by universal testing machine with flexural test arrangement of the specimen. Then the treated and untreated specimens are analyzed and compared through Scanning Electron Microscope to study about its adhesion between fiber and resin matrix and surface morphology. Keywords: Natural Fiber Composites, Mechanical Properties, Surface morphology

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

TEXTILE RAW MATERIAL
Raw materials are unique substance in any production oriented textile industry. They play a
vital role in continuous production and for high quality fabric. Textile raw materials are selected
as per the manufacturing policy of the company i.e. whether a composite mill or only a
spinning, weaving or dyeing/finishing.
Types of Textile Raw Material; they include the following:
1. Fibre 2. Fabric 3. Dyestuff 4. Chemical and Auxiliaries
FIBRE: A fibre has been defined according to ASTM as ‘a unit of matter characterized by
flexibility, fineness and a high ratio of length to thickness’.
Name & Source: Cotton, Silk, Jute, Wool, Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, Flax, Acrylic, Aramid,
Polyethylene, etc.

FABRIC: Fabric is a planar textile structure formed by interlacing yarns, fibres or filaments. It
may be woven, knitted or nonwoven.
Name & Source: 100% cotton fabric, 65% cotton/35% polyester fabric, etc.
DYES: A dye is a coloured substance that has an affinity for the substrate (e.g. fibre, yarn, fabric,
paper, etc.), on which it is applied. Dyes are generally applied in an aqueous solution and
require a mordant to improve the fastness of dyes on substrate. The following dyes are used;
Reactive, Disperse, Acid, Basic, Direct, Sulphur, Azoic, Vat, etc.
CHEMCALS & AUXILIARIES: Dyeing auxiliaries are chemicals or formulated chemical product
which enables processing operation in preparation, dyeing, printing or finishing to be carried
out more effectively or which is essential if a given effect is to be obtained. Examples are;
sequestering agent, lubricants, desizing agent, mercerizing agent, etc.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Material handling can be defined as an “art and science of conveying, elevating, positioning,
transporting, packaging and storing of materials.”
Starting from the time, the raw materials (such as fibres for spinning unit or yarns for
weaving/knitting unit and fabrics for wet processing or garmenting units) enters the mill and
goes out of the mill in the form of finished products; it is handled at all stages within mill
boundaries such as within and between raw materials stores, various section of production
department, machine to machine and finished product stores.
Material handling involves the movement of materials, manually or mechanically in batches or
one item at a time within the plant. The movement may be horizontal, vertical or both.
Material movements add to the cost but not to the product value. The ideal manufacturing
plant will have an absolute minimum material handling and more use of mechanical material
handling equipment. Some benefits associated with effective material handling in
textile/manufacturing industry are listed below;
Improving productivity
Increasing the speed of material movement
Reducing man-power
Reducing materials wastage and minimizing production cost
Promoting easier and cleaner handling

Increasing safety and minimizing, etc.
FUNCTIONS OF MATERIAL HANDLING SECTION
There are basically two functions of material handling section:
1. To select production machinery and assist in plant layout so as to eliminate as far as possible
the need of material handling. For examples: in a spinning mills chute feed cards, open end
spinning machine, auto-doffing ring frames and autoconer etc. reduce the material handling
activities hence material handling cost.
2. To choose most appropriate material handling equipment which is safe and can fulfill
material handling requirements at the minimum possible overall cost. For example: Air
conveyor pipes within the blow room and between blow room and cards, big size plastic
container trolley for handling ring frame bobbins, cones and fabrics in a textile mill.
MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS
Wide ranges of material handling equipment’s are available in the market; which are suitable to
the most of the industrial requirements. Material handling equipment’s are classed as:
1. Industrial trucks: manual and powered
2. Cranes: overhead bridge crane, jib crane and gantry crane
3. Conveyors: belt conveyors, roller conveyor, chain or cable conveyor, etc.
4. Monorail 5. Lift 6. Slides & chutes
7. Hoists: chain type manual, electrical & pneumatic.
8. Tractors & trailers etc.
