It's not easy being green. Did you know that more than 20 eco-unfriendly processing steps go into a traditional pair of pre-washed jeans? During the last decade, many denim manufacturers have begun changing the environmental hazards of their processing by recycling their wastes and greening their production steps. With STN®, we will investigate some of the new green trends in denim manufacturing.

“ETDEWEB versus the World-Wide-Web: A Specific Database/Web Comparison” (http://www.etde.org/ETDEOA237.pdf) is the title of a study performed by Debbie Cutler, DOE/OSTI, comparing ETDEWEB, Google and Google Scholar. The study shows that if a user is looking to discover relevant documents of a specific topic, each of the three systems will bring back a considerable volume of data, but different. Almost 90 % of the documents from ETDEWEB were unique to this system.
