Action functional component

The action functional component represent all the possible predetermined response actions which should occur upon reaching apredetermined alarm/action setpoint. Response actions could include activation of audible and/or visual alarms, annunciation of specific alarm conditions and locations, hardcopy of past and present gas concentrations or environmental conditions, notification of local and remote emergency response personnel, activation of emergency safety control systemsl l through relays such as gas supply source and equipment shutoffs, HVAC system shutdown with 100% exhaust, or one-pass cleanroom air flow operations. The predetermined response actions should follow established emergency response procedures and policies of your organization and all applicable environmental, health, and safety regulations to protect both personnel and the environment and minimize the extent and effect of any hazardous situations. 

When a particular behavioral pharmacology is associated with a specific biochemical action within a series of congeners, it is likely that the biochemistry is a functional component of the observed behavioral activity. This is not necessarily the case if only one or a few molecules are available for study they may well possess ancillary biochemical pharmacology that is... 

The importance of the plasma membrane as the site of action of im-munologically mediated cytotoxicity reactions involving humoral or cellular factors has recently become evident. In this regard, several studies have shown that humoral immune killing reactions involve a complex series of biochemical interactions between the attacker moieties and the cell surface membrane.One approach in studying and elucidating such interactions could therefore focus on the effects of the immune attack processes on the synthesis and/or turnover of cell surface macromolecules known to be structural and functional components of the plasma membrane (e.g., proteins and lipids).

These studies of inhibition of carboxypeptidase support the conclusion that zinc is both a structural and functional component of the enzyme and that it participates in its catalytic action. 

Analytical and enz5onological data lead to the conclusion that zinc is a structural and functional component of ADH, and that it participates in the mechanism of its enzymatic action (Vallee and Hoch, 1955b). The four metal atoms are firmly bound to the protein apoenzyme. Pending the results of investigation in progress, this discussion will assume that the four zinc atoms are bound to the protein in an equivalent manner, and that each atom of zinc acts independently of the other three in the catalytic action of alcohol dehydrogenase. This seems the more acceptable view at present, since Hayes and Velick (1954) found the four binding sites of DPN to be equivalent. 

Under this conceptual framework, hormone systems may be viewed in terms of three primary functional components (1) a site of synthesis or source of the hormone, (2) movement from the source to the site of action (this may be passive as in the diffusion of ethylene or active as in polar transport of auxin) and (3) action by the hormone upon the target site. Through such a system, hormones may initiate a new path of development at the target site or simply control an established pathway. 

A fault is the occurrence of an undesired system state, which may be the result of a failure. A fault state can be reached by the occurrence of a failure or by a change in state caused by a command path set of cascading faults and/or failures. Typically, a fault is the correct operation of a function, component, or subsystem, except it occurs prematurely (i.e., it involves inadvertent operation). A fault state is the sequence of events that would normally happen, but unexpectedly due to initiation by a failure or error. For example, light off is an undesired fault state that may be due to light bulb failure, loss of power, or erroneous operator action. (Note AU failures are faults, but not all faults are failures). 

Figure B3.4.15. A possible Feymnaim path trajectory for a ID variable as a function of time. This trajectory carries an oscillating component with it, where. S is the action of the trajectory. The trajectory is highly fluctuating its values at each time step (v(dt), etc) are not correlated.

Ductility. A load-bearing device or component must not distort so much under the action of the service stresses that its function is impaired, nor must it fail by rupture, though local yielding may be tolerable. Therefore, high modulus and high strength, with ductility, is the desired combination of attributes. However, the inherent nature of plastics is such that high modulus tends to be associated with low ductility and steps that are taken to improve the one cause the other to deteriorate. The major effects are summarised in Table 1.6. Thus it may be seen that there is an almost inescapable rule by which increased modulus is accompanied by decreased ductility and vice versa. 

While the original event trees for the Oyster Creek PSA that introduced the LESF method were indeed large, recent implementations of LESF use event trees of comparable complexity to SELF. The primary distinction seems to that the LESF method takes great latitude as to the type of elements included in the event tree. These may be systems, components or human actions. The SELF method is restricted to functions and systems.
