Resources & General

Reference hub covering glossaries, standards, sourcing directories, cost calculators, and foundational explainers. It helps students, buyers, and engineers get oriented fast with neutral, fact-checked primers and links to deeper modules across the site. This section explains practical decision criteria, typical test methods, and failure modes that matter in real production. Readers get checklists, calculation steps, and case examples connecting specifications to cost, reliability, and compliance. Links map core concepts to upstream inputs and downstream processes so choices remain consistent across sourcing, manufacturing, and end-use performance. Each article includes definitions, diagrams where helpful, and plain-language notes to help newcomers ramp quickly while giving experienced professionals the depth needed to troubleshoot and optimize. Standards references are cited with context, and whenever trade-offs exist, we make them explicit so you can defend decisions.

The Modern Era of Technical Textiles

The technical textiles supply chain is a long and complex one, stretching from the manufacturers of polymers for technical fibers, coating, and specialty membranes through to the converters and fabricators who incorporate technical textiles into finished products or use them as an essential part of their industrial operations.

Effluent Treatment Plant

Effluent Treatment Process in Garment Manufacturing

The textile industry is one of the leading sectors in the economy as it contributes to total industrial production. The untreated textile wastewater can cause rapid depletion of dissolved oxygen if it is directly discharged into the surface water sources due to its high BOD value. The effluents with high levels of BOD and COD values are highly toxic to biological life.

The high alkalinity and traces of chromium which is employed in dyes adversely affect the aquatic life and also interfere with the biological treatment processes. The quality of such effluent can be analyzed by their physicochemical and biological analysis. Monitoring of the environmental parameters of the effluent would allow having, at any time, a precise idea on performance evaluation of ETP and if necessary, appropriate measures may be undertaken to prevent adverse impact on the environment. The obtained results will be very much useful in the identification and rectification of operational and maintenance problems and they can be also utilized to establish methods for improvement.

Ethics and Human Values in Engineering Practices

The Book “Ethics and Human Values in Engineering Practices”, emphasis on basic human values and engineering ethics which deal with understanding the moral values that ought to guide the engineering profession, resolve the moral issues in the profession and justify the moral judgment concerning the profession and professionalism which require certain attitudes and typical qualities that are expected from a professional.

Engineering is viewed as an experimental process on a social scale involving human subjects. Human rights are defined in this book as moral entitlements that place obligations on other people to treat one with dignity and respect. Employee rights underlying professional rights, basic human rights, institutional rights, and non-contractual employee rights are discussed . The role of Multinational organizations, ethics in computers, internet functions, military development, and environmental ethics have been emphasized towards sustenance and progress for the engineers.

VISUAL MERCHANDISING ON IMPULSE BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF CONSUMER

The Indian retail industry is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing sectors in the world. Visual merchandising performs a key role in enticing the customers in the retail store, thereby. helps in increasing the sales of the store and to succeed in the competitive marketplace. Impulse buying is an important factor in visual merchandising. It arouses the consumers’ desire to buy the product which has been presented in an exciting & impressive manner.

In this investigation, the impact of visual merchandising on the impulse buying behavior of consumers is studied in the Coimbatore region, Tamil Nadu, India, and the results are interpreted statistically to understand the significance of various factors affecting the attitude of the customers in buying. The results of this work suggest that all the elements of visual merchandising – window displays, store interior, mannequin display, and signage have a positive impact on impulse buying according to the perceptions of the people in the Coimbatore region, Tamil Nadu, India. Among all the four elements, store interior has the highest positive impact on impulse buying behavior.
