Nanotechnology has proven its importance in almost all areas, and textile industry is not an expectation. Several applications of nanotechnology can be extended to attain the performance enhancement of textile manufacturing machines and processes. Using different methods like electro spraying and electro spinning, various materials have been used to increase additional functions in textiles. This treatment is applied to give textiles the desired handle, to make further processing easier and to improve the thermal and antistatic properties. In this manuscript, we have summarized the recent advances made in nanotechnology and the methods of fabricating functional fibers by electrospinning and melt spinning preparation. Applications of the nanotechnology in textile industries are also summarized in this paper with some novel ideas that can be utilized for the future research in this area.

Decision Tasks

Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn affect the future actions that are available. Achieving real-world goals often requires successfully navigating a sequence of many actions. An efficient and flexible way to achieve such goals is to construct an internal model of the environment, and use it to plan behavior multiple steps into the future. This process is known as multi-step planning, and its neural mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of these mechanisms, many of which take advantage of multi-step decision tasks for humans and animals.

The Covid-19 virus pandemic has crippled life as we know it. The virus is still spreading, and life is still not normal. Of course, various industries are crippled. Supply chains will need to become more resilient in the future to possible recurrence of incidents like the pandemic of Covid-19. In this article, we will present how the Covid-19 virus pandemic has affected the food and textile industries. We have reviewed what measures were made at the start of the pandemic and how these industries have adapted to them. We also reviewed how the measures will affect supply chains and how they should operate in the future to withstand possible recurring emergencies such as the Covid-19 pandemic. We also compared the benefits of local in global supply chains, because in food supply chains the issue needs to be addressed and the Covid-19 virus pandemic can encourage consumers to buy locally produced food. It turned out that the Asian textile industry is largely dependent on western countries and has fallen into a major crisis with a massive drop in orders.

In recent years, everyday activities such as work and socialization have steadily shifted to more remote and virtual settings. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the switch from physical to virtual has been accelerated, which has substantially affected almost all aspects of our lives, including business, education, commerce, healthcare, and personal life. This rapid and large-scale switch from in-person to remote interactions has exacerbated the fact that our current technologies lack functionality and are limited in their ability to recreate interpersonal interactions. To help address these limitations in the future, we introduce “Telelife,” a vision for the near and far future that depicts the potential means to improve remote living and better align it with how we interact, live and work in the physical world. Telelife encompasses novel synergies of technologies and concepts such as digital twins, virtual/physical rapid prototyping, and attention and context-aware user interfaces with innovative hardware that can support ultrarealistic graphics and haptic feedback, user state detection, and more. These ideas will guide the transformation of our daily lives and routines soon, targeting the year 2035. In addition, we identify opportunities across high-impact applications in domains related to this vision of Telelife. Along with a recent survey of relevant fields such as human-computer interaction, pervasive computing, and virtual reality, we provide a meta-synthesis in this paper that will guide future research on remote living.

Propargylamines are extremely versatile and common building blocks in the field of chemistry. This review highlights the recent advances made in the reactions of propargylamines between 2009 and 2019. The reaction types are classified into six categories based on the trigger mechanisms: (1) amino moieties as leaving groups, (2) hydrogenation, (3) rearrangement, (4) nucleophilic amines, (5) nucleophilic carbons, and (6) electrophilic alkynes. We hope that this review will promote future research in this area.1 Introduction2 Amino Moieties as Leaving Groups3 Hydrogenation4 Rearrangement5 Nucleophilic Amines6 Nucleophilic Carbons 7 Electrophilic Alkynes8 Conclusions

The Digital footprint we create in our modern lives through hour handheld devices and wearable gadgets is enormous. It was little known that, in the light of the recent outburst of the pandemic, this digital footprint would play an important role in contact tracing of the infected patients. This digital encounter tracing came into existence in order to relieve the Heath Authorities from the burden of manually tracking the contacts. Different countries developed a number of contact tracing apps based on the different architectures for the same purpose. This paper analyses the different intricacies of the architectures currently in use from the perspective of information storage, division of processing, capabilities and possible security concerns. Effort has been made in order to touch upon the possible attacks in each of the architectures. The paper concludes with the future research efforts in possible optimization of the architecture and the protocols, which in turn may lead to better contact tracing and containment of pandemic.

AbstractIn this article, I will comment on recent advances in the research on the intersection between language and action. On the basis of the argument proposed by Arbib, I will consider an evolutionary scenario according to which language emerged from a basic imitation mechanism devoted to action representation. I will review more appropriate data in patients who present with gesture and language disorders and add it to behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging evidence that suggests that specialized sensorimotor circuits underlie action processing and may ultimately even ground complex aspects of language. Finally, in the last part of the article, I will discuss some of the future research on the interwoven processes of production and comprehension that are involved in the predictive mechanisms of action and language.
