Industrial heritage reflects the development track of human production activities and witnessed the rise and fall of industrial civilization. As one of the earliest countries in the world to start the Industrial Revolution, Belgium has a rich industrial history. Over the past years, a set of industrial heritage renewal projects have emerged in Belgium in the process of urban regeneration. In this paper, we introduce the basic contents of the related terms of industrial heritage, examine the overall situation of protection and renewal in Belgium. The industrial heritage in Belgium shows its regional characteristics, each region has its representative industrial heritage types. In the Walloon region, it is the heavy industry. In Flanders, it is the textile industry. In Brussels, it is the service industry. The kinds of industrial heritages in Belgium are coordinate with each other. Industrial heritage tourism is developed, especially on eco-tourism, experience tourism. The industrial heritage in transportation and mining are the representative industrial heritages in Belgium. There are a set of numbers industrial heritages are still in running based on a successful reconstruction into industrial tourism projects. Due to the advanced experience in dealing with industrial heritage, the industrial heritage and the city live together harmoniously.

Abstract. In the post industrial era, with the development of urban economy and the upgrading of industrial structure, a large number of industrial enterprises in the city transfer from the city centre to the periphery of the city in order to relieve the pressure of urban land shortage and seek their own development. Therefore, the idle land left behind is favoured by the real estate development and emerging industries. As an important space carrier for the continuation of urban context and economic development, the industrial buildings left behind are very popular. Its protection and reuse are related to the development of regional economy and the revival of culture. Under the background of urban renewal, how to properly protect and update the modern industrial heritage to realize the organic integration of the new and old system has become an important topic of heritage protection in China.Today, the transformation of industrial heritage is in full swing. Although the research in the field of industrial heritage in China has started relatively late and the domestic practical experience and related research depth are not enough to form a complete theoretical system, the society has reached a common sense of the protection and renewal of industrial heritage. In January 2018, the first batch of China's industrial heritage protection list was officially released, making China's industrial heritage protection and renewal more scientific and standardized, combining with urban renewal to promote the rapid development of modern urban culture and economy, environmental protection and resource utilization.From the point of view of “protection and renewal”, the paper summarizes the different value cognition of industrial building heritage, and discusses the relationship between the protection and reuse of industrial building heritage, and studies the relevant strategies for the protection and reuse of industrial building heritage, so as to provide reference for the research and development of other industrial building heritage.

Resumen<br /><br />El sector al que correspondió el mayor protagonismo dentro de la industria europea moderna fue, sin lugar a dudas, el textil. Ello no representaba, en realidad, novedad alguna, pues la industria medieval se desarrolló precisamente en función primordialmente de la fabricación de tejidos. El vestido, al tiempo que una necesidad inmediata, resulta expresión visual de distinción social, aún más que la decoración de la vivienda. Por ello la industria textil creció a expensas tanto de la necesidad como del lujo. Uno de los grandes cambios que se producen en este tipo de industria durante todo el siglo XV y se consolida en el XVI se centra en las relaciones de producción, en la utilización de mano de obra campesina y la consolidación del ciclo de producción artesano rural. La mano de obra rural comienza a trabajar por su cuenta o en dependencia del empresario-productor de la ciudad. Si bien, la profunda transformación de la industria textil tendrá lugar en el siglo XVIII, con la revolución industrial.<br />La transformación de la industria textil del siglo XVI propició la expansión de una nueva figura en el ámbito mercantil, que se denomina mercader-empresario, y por tanto, del sistema doméstico de producción conocido como Verlagssystem. Este nuevo sistema implicará modificaciones de factores claves para el desarrollo de las futuras sociedades mercantiles como pueden ser: el capital, la utilización de la materia prima y su proceso de transformación, la formación de los costes de producción y comercialización, la obtención de beneficios y su distribución, la concentración del capital y la generación de rentes. En definitiva, la creación de una nueva clase social, la burguesía. Este trabajo se centra en la industria sedera de la ciudad de Toledo en el siglo XVI.<br /><br /><br />Abstract<br /><br />The textile sector, was the greater protagonist, without doubt, within the modern European industry. It did not represent, in fact, newness some, because the medieval industry was developed indeed in function fundamentally of the weave manufacture. The dress, to the time that an immediate necessity, is visual expression from social distinction, still more that the decoration of the house. For that reason, the textile industry grew as much to expenses of the necessity as of the luxury. One of the great changes that throughout take place in this type of industry, during century XV and consolidates in the XVI, is focused in the relations of production, the use of manual labor farmer and the consolidation of the cycle of production rural craftsman. The rural manual labor begins to work by itself or in dependency of the small businessman of the city. Although, the deep transformation of the textile industry will take place in century XVIII, with the industrial revolution. The transformation of the textile industry of century XVI caused the expansion of a new figure in the mercantile scope, that denominates merchant-small businessman and therefore, of the domestic system of production known like Verlagssystem. This new system will imply modifications of key factors for the development of the future mercantile societies as they can be: the capital, the use of the raw material and its process of transformation, the formation of the commercialization and production costs, the obtaining of benefits and its distribution, the concentration of the capital and the generation of you rent. Really, the creation of a new social class, the bourgeoisie. This work is focused in the silk industry of the city of Toledo in century XVI.

Abstract: 40 years had passed since China implemented its iconic Open Policy and reform. In the past 40 years, the proportion of tertiary industry in large cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou has surpassed that of the primary and secondary industries. Even small and medium cities are currently transitioning from the primary and secondary industries towards the second and tertiary industries. Following this transition, the old industrial edifices and buildings are gradually abandoned and neglected. This paper examines the feasibility of Nanchong’s transformation from the textile industry to tertiary or service industry through a comprehensive survey of the status, conservation and application of Nanchong industrial heritage, and explore the new direction for China’s industrial heritage.

The fundamentals of nanotechnology lie in the fact that the properties of materials drastically change when their dimensions are reduced to nanometer scale. Nanotextiles can be produced by a variety of methods. The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. Changed or improved properties with nanotechnology can provide new or enhanced functionalities. Nanotechnology is a growing interdisciplinary technology and seen as a new industrial revolution. The future success of nanotechnology in textile applications lies in the areas where new principles will be combined into durable and multi-functional textile systems without compromising the inherent properties. The advances in nanotechnology have created enormous opportunities and challenges for the textile industry, including the cotton industry.

The article concentrates on the colonial and postcolonial history, architecture and topography of the southeastern areas of London, where on both banks of the River Thames in the 18th–20th centuries there were located the docks, which became an architectural and engineering response to the rapidly developing trade of England with territories in the Western and Eastern hemispheres of the world. Constructions for various purposes — pools for loading, unloading and repairing ships, piers, shipyards, office and warehouse premises, sites equipped with forges, carpenter’s workshops, shops, canteens, hotels — have radically changed the bank line of the Thames and appearance of the British capital, which has acquired the status of the center of a huge empire. Docks, which by the beginning of the 20th century, occupied an area of 21 hectares, were the seamy side of an imperial-colonial enterprise, a space of hard and routine work that had a specific architectural representation. It was a necessary part of the city intended for the exchange of goods, where the usual ideas about the beauty gave way to considerations of safety, functionality and economy. Not distinguished by architectural grace, chaotically built up, dirty, smoky and fetid, the area was one of the most significant symbols of England during the industrial revolution and colonial rule. The visual image of this greatness was strikingly different from the architectural samples of previous eras, forcing contemporaries to get used to the new industrial aesthetics. Having disappeared in the second half of the 20th century from the city map, they continue to retain a special place in the mental landscape of the city and the historical memory of the townspeople, which is reflected in the chain of museums located in this area that tell the history of English navigation, England’s participation in geographical discoveries, the stages of conquering the world, creating an empire and ways to acquire the wealth of the nation.

Automation in the service industry is emerging as a new wave of industrial revolution. Standardization and consistency of service quality is an important part of the automation process. The quality control methods widely used in the manufacturing industry can provide service quality measurement and service process monitoring. In particular, the control chart as an online monitoring technique can be used to quickly detect whether a service process is out of control. However, the control of the service process is more difficult than that of the manufacturing process because the variability of the service process comes from widespread and complex factors. First of all, the distribution of the service process is usually non-normal or unknown. Moreover, the skewness of the process distribution can be time-varying, even if the process is in control. In this study, a Bayesian procedure is applied to construct a Phase II exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart for monitoring the variance of a distribution-free process. We explore the sampling properties of the new monitoring statistic, which is suitable for monitoring the time-varying process distribution. The average run lengths (ARLs) of the proposed Bayesian EWMA variance chart are calculated, and they show that the chart performs well. The simulation studies for a normal process, exponential process, and the mixed process of normal and exponential distribution prove that our chart can quickly detect any shift of a process variance. Finally, a numerical example of bank service time is used to illustrate the application of the proposed Bayesian EWMA variance chart and confirm the performance of the process control.
