In mixtures, these dyes deviate from their individual behaviors. A method for determining these deviations and for correlating the optical and kinetic deviations is demonstrated. This method is valuable because it allows the kinetic behavior of dyes in mixtures to be characterized from simple optical measurements.}, number={8}, journal={Textile Research Journal}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Snyder, W. and Berkstresser, G. and Smith, B. and Beck, K. and McGregor, R. and Jasper, W.}, year={1997}, month={Aug}, pages={571–579} } @article{rödlich_hergeth_seyam_berkstresser_1996, title={Investment Decisions in Weaving–An Investment Support Model (ISM)}, volume={87}, DOI={10.1080/00405009608659098}, abstractNote={A model was developed to support a structured approach to the investment-decision process in the weaving industry. This model assists the initial investigation through an investment guide. It enables the investor easily to lay out the over-all economic picture of the investment decision at hand by employing a decision-tree program. A spreadsheet analysis of the intended investment generates, upon appropriate input, the net present value of that project. Subsequently, the model allows the decision maker to assign probabilities and correlation coefficients to important factors for the investment and to carry out simulation runs. Thus the investor can incorporate risk and uncertainty in his/her analysis. The model also provides an evaluation guide to interpret the simulation results.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Textile Institute}, author={Rödlich, C. J.F. and Hergeth, H. H.A. and Seyam, A.

With this technique, the network achieves a peak of 5% and an average of 2.6% error over a range of dye concentrations of 0 to 0.15 g/l. The neural network is evaluated against two other models based on Beer's law, and performs significantly better over the entire range of concentrations measured.}, number={9}, journal={Textile Research Journal}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Jasper, Warren J. and Kovacs, Eva T. and Berkstresser, Gordon A.}, year={1993}, month={Sep}, pages={545–551} }
