The essential qualities offered by a product suggested by Iida (2005) are technical-constructive qualities (specifically in the case of clothing, the pattern design and the construction), ergonomic qualities (comfort and safety), and aesthetic qualities (visually pleasing). These are quality requirements that enable the design of artifacts with characteristics that meet human needs. Sensory comfort was also taken in consideration when choosing an appropriated type of garment construction and seam finishes, in this case, lapped seam and seam finishes with satin taping, hiding the external seams. In openings with zippers, using a zipper fly with double lining (Figure 3). These finishes provide less friction when in contact with the skin of the user and a better aesthetics for the garment.

After collecting the samples, ship liquid and slurry samples in quart-sized plastic bottles with screwtop lids. Only fill bottles half full to allow for gas expansion, and squeeze flexible bottles slightly before screwing on the lid. Place solid and semisolid samples in zipper-closing plastic bags, and place a second plastic bag over both liquid and solid samples for extra safety. Use cardboard boxes to ship sample bottles and bags. Pack the box tightly with expanded Styrofoam peanuts or shredded paper and seal with strapping tape.

The following information should be provided and the following steps should be followed to complete COC forms: General incident information (sample owners, contact information, site name)Sample specific information for each sample that will be traveling in the same cooler/transport container (i.e., sample identification number, sample type [matrix], grab or composite, number and type of sample containers, and date and time sample was collected)Contact information and affiliation of the sampler or responsible partySign, date, and enter the time under “Relinquished by” entry. Have the person receiving the sample sign the “Received by” entry. If shipping samples by a common carrier, print the carrier to be used in this space (e.g., FedEx, UPS).If a common carrier is used, a copy of the airbill is to be kept for recording purposes by both the sender and recipient.Place the original signed copy of the COC form in a plastic zipper-type bag or other appropriate waterproof sample shipping package. Retain a copy with the field records.Complete carrier-required shipping papers.If possible, fax or scan and e-mail a copy of the COC form and field report to the party receiving the samples.
Military customized fabric hyperbaric chamber - design and safety aspects

PAC is designed and developed by experienced mountaineers namely Dr. Jim Duff and Roddy Mackenzy. Figure 3 shows the representative picture of the PAC. The PAC is a mummy shaped bag made from tough and durable PVC coated fabric, suitable for high-altitude terrain usage. This chamber differs from Gamow and Certec bag, in the sense that it has a circumferential zipper. The patient ingress takes place by initially sliding legs into the interiors of the bag. The bag can be pressurized to 2 psi pressure with the help of a foot pump. This creates a virtual descent of approximately 6500 ft when held at an altitude of 16,500 feet.

Exposure to saline water was accelerated in the laboratory using a custom-made weathering facility as seen in Figure 2. This facility is composed of two rectangular propylene tanks (one submerged in the other) with both containing deionized water. Each set of five specimens to be exposed is placed in a heavy duty plastic zipper bag containing saline water, making sure that the polyurea side of the specimens is not obstructed at any time. This is achieved by linearly arranging the specimens, each at a time with the monel faces touching each other. This zipper bag is heat sealed and placed in a second zipper bag and heat sealed, creating a double layer, and reducing the probability of any leaks of saline water. The double-bagged specimens are then immersed in the heated tank. The lack of any moisture between the two zipper bags is proof that there is no leakage from the inner bag. The outer tank contains two Polyscience LX Immersion Circulators (Cole Parmer, Vernon Hills, IL) to heat and maintain the facility at a constant temperature of 70°C. These heaters have a temperature stability of ±0.07°C and are designed to go up to 98°C. Each heater had a circulating pump that ensured uniform temperature throughout a maximum of 20 L of fluid. Polypropylene float balls were used on the surface of the water in both tanks to reduce the rate of evaporation. Water was periodically added to the outer and inner tanks to ensure that the water level remained within the range specified for the safe functioning of the heaters, and to ensure that the specimens remained fully immersed, respectively. At the end of each exposure time, the bag containing the specimen set of interest is removed from the tank, the specimens taken out and pad dried, and experiments are conducted within 2 hours from the time of removal.
Fabrication and characterization of antibacterial and biodegradable facial tissue papers using bio-based raw materials: effect of gamma radiation

50:50 chitosan/cellulosic pulp-based films were taken in an air tight zipper poly bag. Then the films were exposed to gamma rays, generated from a 90Co (50 kci) source in the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Savar, Dhaka. The doses of radiation were 1, 2.5 and 5 kGy. Prior to analysis, the samples were kept in a desiccator for 24 hours.
