AbstractThis book comprehensively introduces the spinning principles, methods, processes and yarn structure, performance and application of various new types of textile yarns. The main content is divided into three parts: The first is the transformation and progress of traditional ring spinning, including Siro spinning, Sirofil spinning, compact spinning, cable spinning, etc. and their yarns; The second is the perfection and improvement of new spinning yarns, including rotor spinning, friction spinning, air-jet spinning, vortex spinning, etc. and their yarns; The third is the development and improvement of filament texturing, including false-twist texturing, air texturing, hot-fluid jet texturing, multiple texturing, etc. and their yarns.This book can be used as a textbook or reference book for undergraduates, postgraduates and international students majoring in textile, as well as a reference book for undergraduates and postgraduates majoring in materials (chemical fiber direction).

functions and Hecke L-functions of an imaginary quadratic field，and various problems on elliptic modular forms. As to the values of Dirichlet L-functions， all previous papers and books reiterate a single old result with a single old method. After a review ofelementary Fourier analysis， the author presents completely new results with new methods. though old results will also be proved. No advanced knowledge of number theory is required up to this point. As applications， new formulas for the second factor ofthe class number of a cyclotomic field will be given. The second half of the book assumes familiarity with basic knowledge ofmodular forms. However，all definitions and facts are clearly stated， and precise references are given. The notion ofnearly holomorphic modular forms is introduced and applied to the determination of the critical values of Hecke L-functions of an imaginary quadratic field. Other notable features of the book are： (1) some new results on classical E
