    Author : Faseeh Saleem; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Body alternatives; alternative body expressions; fashion design processes; conceptions of the body; design thinking; artistic research; fashion design education programmes;

    Abstract : The human body has been considered to be an active element and is a common starting point of fashion design processes. However, during these processes, understanding of the body and how it is used to design is often confined by the body’s standard spatial and structural characteristics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Body and design : Alternative ontologies in body based design processes

    Author : Faseeh Saleem; Ricarda Bigolin; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : The human body is a central aspect in design and is considered to be a fundamental starting point in body-based design processes. During the design process, both the existential and functional aspects of the body are explored in relation to the different activities that need to be considered with regard to the design of clothing, dress, and its association with objects in the world.

  6. 4. Improvements in Bioimpedance SpectroscopyData Analysis : Artefact Correction, ColeParameters, and Body Fluid Estimation

    Author : Ruben Buendia; Fernando Seoane; Hermann Scharfetter; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioimpedance; Cole; Body Fluid;

    Abstract : The estimation of body fluids is a useful and common practice in the status assessment of diseasemechanisms and treatments. Electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy (EBIS) methods are non-invasive,inexpensive, and efficient alternatives for the estimation of body fluids. However, these methods areindirect, and their robustness and validity are unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Food webs and the distribution of body sizes

    Author : Tomas Jonsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Many ecologically relevant life-history traits of organisms, (such as generation time and ingestion rate) are significantly correlated to body size. Since these individual and species characteristics can affect the interactions between the species in a community, it is possible that the distribution of body sizes (in communities) can affect different properties of foodwebs as well.
