Anthropometry, Apparel Sizing and Design, Second Edition, reviews techniques in anthropometry, sizing system developments, and their applications to clothing design. The book addresses the need for the improved characterization of population size, weights and the shapes of consumers. This new edition presents the very latest advances, and is expanded to include in-depth coverage of sizing and fit for specific groups and applications. Sections cover the development of sizing systems, classification and body types, the use of anthropometric data, body measurement devices and techniques, including 3D scanners for the full body and for particular body parts, 4D scanning technology and motion analysis.

Additional sections cover testing and the evaluation of fit and anthropometric sizing systems for particular functions, thus reflecting the increasing need for apparel to meet specific needs, such as in swimwear, protective clothing, mobility, intimate apparel, footwear and compression garments.

This book will be an essential reference source for apparel designers, manufacturers, retailers and merchandisers. Its detailed information and data will also be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students across clothing technology, product design, fashion and textiles.

The teaching of English in the Asian context is always challenging and dynamic because both teachers and learners have diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Equally important, where English is not widely used outside the classroom, English language classrooms are an authentic site of learner engagement. For these reasons, for all those concerned with contemporary English language teaching (ELT) in Asia, Asian English Language Classrooms: Where Theory and Practice Meet, provides an account of theoretical orientations and practices in the teaching of English to multilingual speakers whose primary language is not English. While covering the fundamental ELT areas (e.g., the teaching of language skills, educational literature, the use of technology in ELT, the role of pragmatics in ELT, social psychology of the language classroom, and language classroom management) with which every language teacher and teacher trainer must be concerned, this volume showcases how particular orientations shape ELT practices. We believe that practicing English teachers must have a heightened awareness of the theory behind their practice. At the same time, the theoretical stance must be firmly anchored in actual classrooms. Containing newly commissioned chapters written by well-regarded and emerging scholars, this book will appeal not only to beginning teachers or teachers in training but also to established teachers around Asia where English is used as a lingua franca. If you are a student teacher of English or an English teacher who would like to see what other progressive teachers like you are doing across Asia, this is the book you have been looking for.

One of the greatest challenges for the apparel industry is to produce garments that fit customers properly. Anthropometry, Apparel Sizing and Design addresses the need for improved characterization of our populations in order to tailor garments according to size, weight, and shape of consumers. This book reviews techniques in anthropometry, sizing system developments, and their applications to clothing design.

Part one considers a range of anthropometric methods. The text discusses the range of sizing systems, including data mining techniques, useful for bridging the gap between ergonomists and designers. Chapters examine three-dimensional anthropometric methods and multivariate and bivariate analysis for identifying key body dimensions. Part two then explains how to analyze anthropometric data to develop appropriate sizing systems. Here, the book discusses classification and clustering of human body shapes, the importance of national surveys, and using the data obtained to ensure inclusive design strategies. The book covers sizing systems developed for particular groups, apparel size designation, and the potential for international standardization. It considers the advantages of 3D body scanning and computer-aided design, and the use of body motion analysis to address ease allowance requirements of apparel.

With its distinguished editors and international contributors, this work is an essential reference, particularly due to the specific combination of aspects of anthropometry and the sizing of clothing, for researchers, garment designers, students, and manufacturers in the clothing and fashion industry.

NextGen Strategies and Tools: Pioneering Innovations in Agriculture is a systematic, application-oriented examination of next-generation strategies and technologies that drive innovation in agriculture. The book focuses on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, robotics, and smart sensing technologies to address challenges in sustainability, precision farming, and agricultural productivity.The book presents information on AI-based decision support frameworks, IoT-enabled precision agriculture, smart sensor networks for crop monitoring, and vision-based systems for disease and pest detection. Contributions explore deep learning and computer vision models applied to real-world agricultural scenarios, emphasizing scalability, accuracy, and deployment feasibility in both large-scale and resource-constrained environments. Practical implementations such as Agrobots, Raspberry Pi–based agricultural platforms, and automated fertilizer dispensing systems further demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methods.In addition to technological advancements, the book examines the sustainability and environmental implications of adopting AI and IoT in agriculture. Key considerations such as efficient resource utilization, climate resilience, and environmentally responsible farming practices are discussed to provide a balanced and holistic perspective. By bridging theoretical foundations with practical deployment, the book supports the development of intelligent agricultural ecosystems.As part of the NextGen Agriculture: Novel Concepts and Innovative Strategies series, this book is intended for postgraduate students, researchers, academicians, and professionals in computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, electronics and communication engineering, agricultural engineering, and smart farming technologies. It also serves as a reference for policymakers and practitioners seeking to advance sustainable and intelligent agricultural systems.
