In addition to the astonishing size of the global garment industry, risk aggregations in the facilities that support the education and training of young professionals for careers in this field are among the most complex. Not only have we moved this topic from our Saturday stream (which has run about four years now) but starting 2023 we move it into our weekday curriculum further breaking the coverage down further. Join us today at 16:00 UTC as we begin organizing these topics separately.
We start with titles on our Fine Arts syllabus; putting aside the arguable difference between style and fashion which is largely outside our area of expertise. Keeping these spaces safe and sustainable is.
Design Considerations
Everyone would basically be 50% happier if everyone dressed a little better. Clothes are everywhere. Everyone doesn't have to be a clothes hound, but if the girls looked pretty and the guys looked nice, people would be happier and even more optimistic about the future. pic.twitter.com/iQcNPL1cMl

Abstract Modeling of the electric system “architecture” aims to achieve performances of operation, maintenance and safety. The paper discusses about the criteria in designing the normal and special cases that need a structured architecture complying with electrical loads extensively distributed and with installation requirements proper to external stresses hazard as earthquake, fire, flood, extreme environment conditions. Also advanced architectural buildings outside of the typical and classical configurations require tailored solutions for the electrical systems. The general criterion of designing power distributions is to structure the system in two or more levels from the utility up to the terminal equipment adopting a number equal or lower of voltages. The criterion of the barycentered distribution is generally applied for defining the dimension and the voltage of each distribution level. In critical facilities, it is necessary to ensure that electrical service will be available during and after a hazardous event and so all the components should have adequate ratings and be installed in a proper manner. A special power distribution, “brush-distribution”, is suitable for the strategic buildings with higher risk for seismic event, for the photovoltaic systems against extreme temperature conditions and for the road tunnels against the fire.
Accreditation is a process that involves evaluating the overall quality of an institution and its programs, including the qualifications and expertise of faculty members. Accreditation is institution-specific, and individual professors are not typically accredited separately. Instead, the accreditation process assesses the overall effectiveness of the educational institution and its ability to meet certain standards.
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation claims to be the national advocate and institutional voice for self-regulation of academic quality through accreditation — a non-profit organization with 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities and recognizes 60 institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations.
In the United States, the accreditation of college and university programs, including the evaluation of faculty qualifications, is typically managed by regional accrediting agencies; each with hegemonic claims. They are united with a common interest in money coming from the U.S. Department of Education which controls money flow.
While the CHEA plays a role in overseeing accrediting bodies, the direct influence on the quality of facilities lies with the institutions themselves and the accrediting agencies that evaluate them.
Accreditation standards may touch upon aspects of facilities, but the day-to-day management and improvement of facilities are typically the responsibility of the individual higher education institutions.
The regional accrediting agencies in the United States include:
Higher Learning Commission (HLC) – Covers the central United States.
Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) – Covers the mid-Atlantic region.
New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) – Covers the New England states.
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) – Covers the northwest region.
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) – Covers the southern United States.
WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) – Covers the western United States.
Abstract: We propose a framework to automatically extract body landmarks and related measurements from 3D body scans and replace manual body shape estimation in fitting smart garments. Our framework comprises five steps: 3D scan acquisition and segmentation, 2D image conversion, extraction of body landmarks using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), back projection and mapping of extracted landmarks to 3D space, body measurements estimation and tailored garment generation. We trained and tested the algorithm on 3000 synthetic 3D body models and estimated body landmarks required for T-Shirt design. The results show that the algorithm can successfully extract 3D body landmarks of the upper front with a mean error of 1.01 cm and of the upper back with a mean error of 0.78 cm. We validated the framework the framework in automated tailoring of an electrocardiogram (ECG)-monitoring shirt based on the predicted landmarks. The ECG shirt can fit all evaluated body shapes with an average electrode-skin distance of 0.61 cm.
