Morphology, conductivity, thermal stability and electromagnetic radiation shielding study on Cu, Cu-Ni coated polyester fabric and polyester mesh
The flexible electromagnetic wave shielding material research is one of the attractive research topics. The literature reveals that thermoplastics, elastomers and natural and synthetic fabrics are modified using conductive and magnetic fillers for shielding applications. In the present work, Poly (ethylene terephthalate) plain weaved fabric (PETF) and PET fiber mats (PETM) are coated with copper (Cu), copper-Nickel (Cu-Ni) and designated as Cu-PETF, Cu-Ni-PETF and Cu-Ni-PETM. Further, all three samples were investigated, and Cu-Ni-PETF showed better electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and absorption dominating. Hence, it is recommended to use Cu-Ni coated PETF for lightweight polymer composites as reinforcements suitable for electromagnetic shielding encloses applications.

Studies in Industrial Organization
The studies in this volume are a result of the Social Reconstruction Survey carried out by Nuffield College, Oxford between 1941 and 1944. The Survey studied the position and prospects of towns or areas in Britain in order to find out what was likely to happen to their industrial development with a view to planning for the post-war location of industry and distribution of population. The result is an invaluable source of empirical material for the study of British industry in the mid twentieth century.Industries covered include:* Natural Textiles, Artificial Textiles, Carpets, Footwear* Extensive use of statistical information for imports and exports, production costs, employment figures etc.

Laundrymen Construct Their World: Gender and the Transformation of a Domestic Task to an Industrial Process
In the mid-19th century, \"steam\" or \"power\" laundries began to appear in American and British cities. While women continued to constitute a majority of wage workers in these laundries and to do the wash at home, men controlled the industrialization of laundrywork. The history of how men created, propagated and controlled the technology known collectively as \"steam laundry\" is presented.
