Cotton fabrics are used in multiple applications consequently, are susceptible to treatments for its functionalization. Microcapsules interest is increasing among the industry field as they allow to incorporate multiple functions to textiles. The finishing treatments that incorporate microcapsules contain in their formulations binding agents in order to increase their permanence on the textile. In this work, different concentrations of resin are tested in order to evaluate weather its application on industrial formulations with microcapsules influences the flexural rigidity on the cotton fabric. Considering that the application of the microcapsules is carried out in the final phase of the textile proces, it can modify the fabric appearenace. The possible color modification that is generated on three colors, red, yellow and blue at 2% on fiber weight has also been evaluated. The study shows that not only the resin influences the flexural rigidity of the tissue, but the presence of microcapsules also modifies this behavior. In addition, it is proven that the color variation is not significant to detect a perceptible change in tissue coloration. Flexural rigidity modification can be obsereved previusly to observe changes in color. Keywords: Fabric, cotton, microcapsules, rigidity, colour
Conservation genomic studies in non-model organisms generally rely on genome reduction techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. These reduced libraries ensure a high density of SNP loci and high coverage for accurate genotyping. Despite the fraction of the genome that is sequenced is expected to be randomly located, the reduction of the genome might depend on the recognition site of the restriction enzyme used. Here, we evaluate the distribution and functional composition of loci obtained after Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) genome reduction with two widely used restriction enzymes (EcoT22I and ApeKI). To do so, we compared data from two endemic fish species (Symphodus ocellatus and Symphodus tinca, EcoT22I enzyme) and two ecosystem engineer sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula, ApeKI enzyme). In brief, we mapped the sequenced loci to the phylogenetically closest reference genome available (Labrus bergylta for fish and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus for sea urchins), classified them as exonic, intronic, and intergenic, and studied their functionality by using GO terms. We detected an enrichment towards exonic or intergenic regions depending on the restriction enzyme used, and we did not detect differences between total loci and candidate loci for adaptation. Despite most GO terms being shared between species, the analysis of their abundance showed differences between taxonomic groups, which may be attributed to differences of the targeted loci. Our results highlight the importance of restriction enzyme selection and the need for high-quality annotated genomes in conservation genomic studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
