Damask. Damask ( /ˈdæməsk/; Arabic: دمشق) is a woven, reversible patterned fabric. Damasks are woven by periodically reversing the action of the warp and weft threads. [ 1] The pattern is most commonly created with a warp-faced satin weave and the ground with a weft-faced or sateen weave. [ 2] Fabrics used to create damasks include silk ...
Average acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. At any point on a trajectory, the magnitude of the acceleration is given by the rate of change of velocity in both magnitude and direction at that point. The true acceleration at time t is found in the limit as time interval Δt → 0 of Δv/Δt.
Bazin (or basin) is a West African fabric with its origin in Europe imported in Mali, made from hand-dyed cotton, resulting in a damask textile known for its stiffness and vibrant sheen. It is primarily recognized as the most commonly used fabric for crafting a Boubou, a long, loose traditional outerwear worn by both men and women, particularly ...

They were introduced to West and Central Africans by Dutch merchants during the 19th century, who took inspiration from native Indonesian designs. [ 4] They began to adapt their designs and colours to suit ...
In inertial coordinates in special relativity, four-acceleration is defined as the rate of change in four-velocity with respect to the particle's proper time along its worldline. We can say: where. is the Lorentz factor for the speed (with ). A dot above a variable indicates a derivative with respect to the coordinate time in a given reference ...
A reversible garment is a garment that can be worn two ways, which differ by turning the garment "inside out". However, there is no true "inside out" to a reversible garment, since either way, it gives a fashionable appearance. [ 1] Garments that are commonly made reversible include hats, jackets, vests, sweaters, shirts, trousers, and skirts ...
Textile machinery at the Cambrian Factory, Llanwrtyd, Wales in the 1940s Estonian national clothes are a fine example of change in clothing after the Industrial Revolution. They changed a lot during 18th and 19th of century with the addition of new types of colors (like aniline dyes), placement of colors (like lengthwise stripes) and with the ...
