Introduction Metallic yarns or threads‚ in general‚ have been known for more than 3000 years. Gold and silver were hammered into extremely thin sheets‚ then cut into ribbons and worked into fabrics. These were the first ‘man made’ fibres‚ which came thousands of years before nylon or rayon. The Persians made fabulous carpets with gold thread and the Indians‚ ornamental sarees with it. The metal threads were twisted‚ doubled or wrapped around some other thread such as cotton. With the advancement

Assignment 9 There are two main types of fibre optic transmitter that are in use today. Both of them are based around semiconductor technology: • Light emitting diodes (LEDs) • Laser diodes Semiconductor optical transmitters have many advantages. They are small‚ convenient‚ and reliable. However‚ the two different types of fibre optic transmitter have very different properties and they tend to be used in widely different applications. LED transmitters These fibre optic transmitters are cheap and reliable

Slow-twitch fibres contract slowly and can be used for longer periods of time. Fast-twitch fibres contract quickly and provide strength and speed‚ though they also tire more quickly. To a large extent this fibre combination is hereditary‚ so if you want to become the next gold medal winner at the Olympics it is dependant

Data published by the National Diet and Nutrition Survey‚ which looks at food consumption in the UK‚ shows that most of us should be eating more starchy foods. Why do you need starchy foods? Starchy foods are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch‚ they contain fibre‚ calcium‚

Cardiac This is an involuntary muscle‚ found solely in the walls of the heart‚ as well as in the walls of the blood vessels. This sort of muscle has similarities with the skeletal muscles‚ because it is striated. Furthermore‚ it has slight similarities to the smooth muscles‚ because its contractions are not under conscious control. On the other hand this type of muscle is highly specialised. It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions

changes came to the textile industry during the 20th century‚ with continuing technological innovations in machinery‚ synthetic fibre‚ logistics‚ and globalization of the business. The business model that had dominated the industry for centuries was to change radically. Cotton and wool producers were not the only source for fibres‚ as chemical companies created new synthetic fibres that had superior qualities for many uses‚ such as rayon‚ invented in 1910‚ and DuPont’s nylon‚ invented in 1935 as in inexpensive
