1. Colour Fastness to Light This method is intended for accessing the resistance of the colour of textiles to the action of daylight. Principle: A specimen of the textile is exposed to the light from a Xenon arc lamp under prescribed conditions‚ along with eight dyed wool standards. The fastness is assessed by compared the fading of the textile with that of the standards. Apparatus and Materials: - Blue standards - Humidity Test Control Fabric - Light fastness test apparatus containing

Since the work of the Austrian economist Friedrich von Wieser‚ opportunity cost has been seen as the foundation of the marginal theory of value[citation needed]. Opportunity cost is one way to measure
