Textile
Textile is an umbrella term that includes various fiber-based materials, including fibers, yarns, filaments, threads, different fabric types, etc. At first, the word "textiles" only referred to woven fabrics. However, weaving is not the only manufacturing method, and many other methods were later developed to form textile structures based on their intended use. Knitting and non-woven are other popular types of fabric manufacturing. In the contemporary world, textiles satisfy the material needs for versatile applications, from simple daily clothing to bulletproof jackets, spacesuits, and doctor's gowns. Textiles are divided into two groups: Domestic purposes onsumer textilesand technical textiles. In consumer textiles, aesthetics and comfort are the most important factors, but in technical textiles, functional properties are the priority. Geotextiles, industrial textiles, medical textiles, and many other areas are examples of technical textiles, whereas clothing and ...

Fabric (club)
Fabric (stylized as fabric) is a nightclub in Farringdon, London, England. Founded in 1999 on Charterhouse Street opposite Smithfield Market, the club was voted World Number 1 Club in DJ Magazine's "Top 100 Clubs Poll" in 2007 and 2008 and ranked World Number 2 in 2009, 2010 and 2017. Fabric was closed down and its licence was revoked by Islington Council in 2016, after two drug-related deaths at the club. Following a campaign to save the club it was permitted to be reopened with increased security and restrictions. History The club was founded by Keith Reilly and Cameron Leslie and opened on 29 October 1999. Fabric occupied the renovated space of the Metropolitan Cold Stores. Smithfield Meat Market stands and operates from a site directly opposite. The area's construction took place in Victorian times alongside nearby landmarks Holborn Viaduct and Fleet Valley Bridge. Fabric has three separate rooms with independent sound systems; two of the rooms feature stages for live ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fabric (geology)
In geology, a rock's fabric describes the spatial and geometric configuration of all the elements that make it up. In sedimentary rocks, the fabric developed depends on the depositional environment and can provide information on current directions at the time of deposition. In structural geology, fabrics may provide information on both the orientation and magnitude of the strains that have affected a particular piece of deformed rock. Types of fabric * Primary fabric — a fabric created during the original formation of the rock, e.g. a preferred orientation of clast long axes in a conglomerate, parallel to the flow direction, deposited by a fast waning current. * Shape fabric — a fabric that is defined by the preferred orientation of inequant elements within the rock, such as platy- or needle-like mineral grains. It may also be formed by the deformation of originally equant elements such as mineral grains. * Crystallographic preferred orientation — in plastically deforme ...

Fabric (play)
''Fabric'', written by playwright Henry Ong, is the only known dramatization of the 1995 El Monte Thai Garment Slavery Case. It was produced by the Company of Angels in 2010, in partnership with the Thai Community Development Center to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the landmark case. In 2015, it was reprised and presented at the Pasadena Playhouse as part of a month-long celebration of the 20th anniversary of the case. Background On August 2, 1995, in El Monte, California, 72 Thai nationals were discovered working and living in an apartment complex ringed with barbed wire and spiked fences, sewing clothes for major retailers and manufacturers. Some of the captives had been held for as long as seven years by the leader of a human trafficking ring, "Auntie Suni." The story made national and international headlines as the first case of modern-day slavery since the abolishment of slavery in the United States. Production Playwright Henry Ong, upon reading an account of the raid i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haven (Dark Tranquillity Album)
''Haven'' is the fifth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, released on 25 July 2000. This release is the first to feature Mikael Niklasson and Martin Brändström, and the first release with Martin Henriksson on guitar, switching from his previous position on bass. Style ''Haven'' retains the electronic music elements of past albums, along with appealing song composition and more polished production. As with the previous album, ''Projector'', Mikael Stanne uses clean and harsh vocals. Track listing Videos * "Therein" (first digipak and Japan only) Reception Like the previous album, ''Projector'', critical reception was mixed. Guitarist Niklas Sundin has been quite critical of the album, stating that this is his least favourite Dark Tranquillity album, considering it "too safe in places" and stating that the album "could probably benefit from more variation". Despite the mixed feelings towards ''Haven'', MetalGuru listed it #5 in its "Retro 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fabric Computing
Fabric computing or unified computing involves constructing a computing fabric consisting of interconnected nodes that look like a ''weave'' or a ''fabric'' when seen collectively from a distance. Usually the phrase refers to a consolidated high-performance computing system consisting of loosely coupled storage, networking and parallel processing functions linked by high bandwidth interconnects (such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand) but the term has also been used to describe platforms such as the Azure Services Platform and grid computing in general (where the common theme is interconnected nodes that appear as a single logical unit). The fundamental components of fabrics are "nodes" (processor(s), memory, and/or peripherals) and "links" (functional connections between nodes). While the term "fabric" has also been used in association with storage area networks and with switched fabric networking, the introduction of compute resources provides a complete "unified" comp ...

Switched Fabric
Switched fabric or switching fabric is a network topology in which network Node (networking), nodes interconnect via one or more network switches (particularly crossbar switches). Because a switched fabric network spreads network traffic across multiple physical links, it yields higher total throughput than Broadcasting (networking), broadcast networks, such as the early 10BASE5 version of Ethernet and most wireless networks such as Wi-Fi. The generation of high-speed Serial communication, serial data interconnects that appeared in 2001–2004 which provided Point-to-point (telecommunications), point-to-point connectivity between processor and peripheral devices are sometimes referred to as fabrics; however, they lack features such as a message-passing protocol. For example, HyperTransport, the computer processor interconnect technology, continues to maintain a Bus (computing), processor bus focus even after adopting a higher speed physical layer. Similarly, PCI Express is just a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spacetime
In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that combines the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive differently where and when events occur. Until the 20th century, it was assumed that the three-dimensional geometry of the universe (its spatial expression in terms of coordinates, distances, and directions) was independent of one-dimensional time. The physicist Albert Einstein helped develop the idea of spacetime as part of his theory of relativity. Prior to his pioneering work, scientists had two separate theories to explain physical phenomena: Isaac Newton's laws of physics described the motion of massive objects, while James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic models explained the properties of light. However, in 1905, Einstein based a work on special relativity on two postulates: * The laws of physics are invariant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Fabric Of Reality
''The Fabric of Reality'' is a 1997 book by physicist David Deutsch. His follow-up book, ''The Beginning of Infinity'', was published in 2011. Overview The book expands on his views of quantum mechanics and its implications for understanding reality. This interpretation, which he calls the '' multiverse'' hypothesis, is one of a four-strand Theory of Everything (TOE). The four strands #Hugh Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, "The first and most important of the four strands". # Karl Popper's epistemology, especially its anti-inductivism and its requiring a realist (non-instrumental) interpretation of scientific theories, and its emphasis on taking seriously those bold conjectures that resist being falsified. #Alan Turing's theory of computation, especially as developed in Deutsch's "Turing principle", where Turing's Universal Turing machine is replaced by Deutsch's universal quantum computer.

Fabric, Timișoara
Fabric ( hu, Gyárváros; german: Fabrikstadt; sr, Фабрик, Fabrik) is one of the oldest historic districts of Timișoara, Romania. Its name comes from the factories that were built here since its appearance in the 18th century. History Until after 1716, the present-day Fabric, located east of the Cetate district, was not inhabited. In 1716 there were only two water mills in this area. The northern one may have served as a powder keg in the 1660s. A so-called "esplanade" surrounded the fortress of Timișoara until 1892. It was a 948-meter-wide strip of land on which building was forbidden, so that a possible enemy could not hide behind the buildings that would have been built here. Therefore, Fabric was built outside the esplanade. The first manufactories were built east of the fortress, in the present-day Fabric, starting with 1732 (according to other sources 1727). The construction of the district was approved in 1744. Its outline was determined by the sinuous shapes o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
