The domestic textile industry is currently making an active effort to present high value-added materials that can respond immediately to the wants and needs of consumers sensitive to the of originality of design and emotionally appealing fashion materials. This paper attempted to present the creative development of materials in the contemporary clothing culture in which consumers' needs are individualized and differentiated and the cycle of life in fashion materials is getting shorter. To be specific, the paper presented the texture of peculiar expression to diverse cotton materials using the Woolsmok technique in the processing of felt. The chosen Merino wool was felted to 8 kinds of cotton with different density and structure. The touch, texture, visibility and complex susceptibilities of new materials were presented as different materials of cotton and wool were transformed into one material. In felting cotton fiber through wool, the transformation of diverse textures was presented and compared in the method using the washing machine in an attempt to enhance the efficiency of the traditional craft technique and work. This study proposed the possibility of placing the new material made up of cotton and wool beyond the range of functionality of each simple material, activating it as the peculiar material and expanding it to the range of its use as fashion material in the clothing industry. It is expected that this material will become competitive material at home and abroad by being activated as the clothing material of artistry, workability and marketability that can satisfy the tastes of consumers who call for high quality and diversification.

Purpose- The purpose of this study was to compare the fit of two prototype liquid cooled vests using a 3D body scanner and accompanying software. The objectives of this study were to obtain quantitative measurements of ease values, and to use these data to evaluate the fit of two cooling vests in active positions and to develop methodological protocol to resolve alignment issues between the scans using software designed for the alignment of 3D objects. Design/methodology/approach- Garment treatments and body positions were two independent variables with three levels each. Quantitative dataset were dependent variables, and were manipulated in 3x3 factorial designs with repeated measures. Scan images from eight subjects were used and ease values were obtained to compare the fit. Two different types of analyses were conducted in order to compare the fit using t-test; those were radial mean distance value analysis and radial distance distribution rate analysis. Findings- Overall prototype II achieved a closer fit than prototype I with both analyses. These were consistent results with findings from a previous study that used a different approach for evaluation. Research limitations/implications- The main findings can be used as practical feedback for prototype modification/selection in the design process, making use of 3D body scanner as an evaluation tool. Originality/value- Methodological protocols that were devised to eliminate potential sources of errors can contribute to application of data from 3D body scanners.

A new low-sugar yogurt with carrot jam was developed by reflecting consumers' demands of yogurt and the characteristics required for the development of new yogurt. To examine the storage stability of yogurt containing carrot jam, the yogurt was stored in a refrigerator at 4℃ for 21 days, and changes in pH and titratable acidity were examined at 3-day intervals. Nine nutrient contents of yogurt were analyzed to compare the sugar content of the control and carrot jam-added yogurt. Considering the health functionality of new yogurt, when questioned about the appropriate amount of sugar content in yogurt, numerous respondents indicated that they wanted the sugar content to be reduced by about 1 to 5% (73.3%) compared with existing products and that the taste should remain similar to existing products (32.2%). The pH and titratable acidity of yogurt with 4% carrot jam were measured during storage, and it was found that the yogurt had excellent storage properties up to the twenty-first day of production. According to the result for the nutrient contents of yogurt with 4% carrot jam, it was found that the total carbohydrate content, including the dietary fiber content of carrots, was 9.3% while the sugar content was 4.7% which was lower than the sugar content of the control group of 7.0%. Considering the above results, it is expected that the consumption of Jeonnam regional specialties will be promoted through commercialization research on yogurt with carrot jam, which can meet consumers' health needs and perceptions toward the new yogurt.

The EPON has been actively studied as one of the access networks for the economic configuration of FTTH. The EPON must support the dynamic bandwidth allocation to the subscribers in order to support the QoS due to its base on Ethernet technology EFM SG, which is actively working for the standardization of EPON, also recently decided to select DBA. Therefore in this paper, we designed a ONU buffer scheduling algorithm(AIWFQ) and a scheme of DBA(Class-based FCFS) for the OLT suitable for embodying MPCP of the EPON. In this paper, we proposed methods that the EPON system can make use of by measuring end to end process delay time and the buffer size in order to implement the algorithm by using the OPNET.

Recently, consumer tastes of various classes at home and abroad prefer comfortable, unadorned, and simple clothing, and the athleisure trend, which can be used freely in daily life as well as exercise, has expanded to overall clothing products. Existing materials used for athleisure are composite knitted fabrics using polyester yarn and PU yarn, which has problems due to a chronic lack of color fastness and contamination by dyes even when PU laminating is applied, making it difficult to apply various colors. There is a quality problem in which deformation of the product occurs due to lack of durability. In this study, CDP yarn(75de/72f) and PU yarn(40de) were selected to commercialize the circular knitting for athleisure using CDP yarn in order to solve the problems that occur in the dyeing and laminating process when using polyester materials. CDP yarns were used to knit into single(CP75-S) and double(CP75-D) knit and single knit were found to be suitable as athleisure fabrics. After pretreatment and treatment under various conditions, the stainability of CDP circular knitting was examined. After pretreatment and dyeing process under various conditions, the property of scouring and dyeability of CP75-S were evaluated.

Textile and clothing in Ancient Egypt have carried long history and tradition. Especially, Egyptian textile culture, created mostly by the Copt, has the originality of weaving technology and the artistic beauty of the weaving motifs, making the textiles comparable to modern textiles. The purpose of this study is to research on the characteristics of Coptic textile designs of ancient Egypt and the tunic, a basic garment made of Coptic textiles, and offer materials for the development of the textiles and designs with artistic values which can be shared in the modern era, not just for the research of the relics of the past. Therefore, this study will follow the historical background of Coptic textiles and the process of the development, and look into the distinct features under the categories of material, colors and motifs. In addition, the tunic and its weaving technology will be explained and this will help understand the originality of Coptic textiles. The scope of this study is limited to the period of the 3rd to 12th centuries when the Egyptian weaving technologies advanced dramatically and many of the ancient Egyptian textiles discovered from the grave goods dates back, the research methode of the tunic as well as books published at home and abroad, research paper and photograph works. The textiles had developed along the Egyptian history which was influenced by different cultures such as Greek, Roman, pagan, Christian, and later, Islamic. For the textiles, they used a variety of pictorial motifs including Greek goddesses, pastoral scenes related to the Nile River and animals, human figures, geometrical figures and Christian icons. They are symbolic, natural, and mythological characters, and this explains that the world views and religions of the weavers influenced the development of specific motifs. Coptic textiles was used to make a tunic, a simple straight-sided gown without sleeves worn by men and women and was woven in a combination of linen plain weave and woolen tapestry weave for a tunic. Not only the excellence of the weaving technologies and the beauty of the colors used in the textiles, but also the diversity of the textures through weaving, embroidery, and knotting are detected in Coptic textiles.

The purpose on this study is to grasp the clothing habits and problems of the Chinese-Koreans in Yanbian, China through the fact-finding survey about the clothing habits for the Chinese-Koreans in Yanbian, China who have frequent exchanges with the North Korea and have relatively similar home culture preparing for the unification of North and South Korea, also it is to make the basic data for improving their qualities of life. As for the method of study, it centered on the investigation by the questionnaire on the spot and it referred to the data like domestic and abroad literature, field observation, interview and internet, etc. as a reference. Also it centered on the girl college students and the housewives in Yangil City as an object of research. Accordingly, the result of this study is as follows. The Yanbian is the largest Chinese-Koreans group of people in the China. The economic environment in Yanbian is in the middle of the whole China. With the open-economy of China and the contact with the foreign culture, especially with Korea, the 1960s and 1990s coexist in. The Chinese-Koreans in Yangil spend about 1,425 CNY as clothing expenses averages a year, and the estimated value of holding amount of clothing is about 27 suits. They recognize the clothing made in Korea as high-quality and high-price of high-quality articles. They have high interest in the Korean fashion as the younger generation. They prefer to modern, active, refined and mature atmosphere in the clothing atmosphere, but they still do not reach to the level yet in actual. They generally have strong tendency with the preference of black color or dark color because they have small holding amount. The field materials of fiber did not become high-quality articles because they hold in the level of 1960s in Korea. So, the color level of Chinese-Koreans in Yanbian is still low.
