Compliance fiber

More recently, Stang and Shah (1986) derived a debond criterion based on a compliance analysis, and Wells and Beaumont (1985) took into account the effect of the Poisson contraction of the fiber and non-linear friction in the debonded region. 

Two of the standards directly related to worker health and important in design work are Toxic Hazardous Substances and Occupational Noise Exposure. The first of these two concerns the normal release of toxic and carcinogenic substances, carried via vapors, fumes, dust fibers, or other media. Compliance with the Act requires the designer to make calculations of concentrations and exposure time of plant personnel to toxic substances during normal operation of a process or plant. These releases could emanate from various types of seals and from control-valve packings or other similar sources. Normally, the designer can meet the limits set for exposure to toxic substances by specifying special valves, seals, vapor-recovery systems, and appropriate ventilation systems.

Handle Also known as softness of handle. It is a function of denier (or tex), compliance, cross-section, crimp, moisture absorption, and surface roughness of the fiber. 

Most experts recommend a food-based dietary approach to lower plasma cholesterol levels. Indeed, the FDA begins all claims about the role of diet and heart disease with ...a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.... Such a diet normally would include many vegetables, fruits, and limits on animal products and can also include 25 g of soy protein along with 3 to 6 g of soluble fiber. However, the role of such advice should be evaluated in terms of compliance with the advice as well as the potential efficacy of the recommended nutrition changes. The experimental evidence supporting dietary approaches to lower plasma LDL-C concentrations comes from controlled feeding trials devoid of many practical barriers that are likely to reduce the effectiveness of prescribed diets in real-life sitnations. Farther, the efficacy of recommended diets depends on compliance and the extent that... 

The unique role of phytosterols is that they can be incorporated into diets in much smaller quantities than soluble fiber, soy protein, or any other nutrient. Phytosterols are more effective at lowering LDL-C, can be put into foods without detection by subjects, and can be delivered in foods such as spreads that are consumed in small quantities. An argument is put forth that phytosterols should be foremost in the TLC diet recommendations (not at last resort) because of likely greater compliance and because of the effectiveness of relatively small quantities of phytosterols to lower LDL-C without affecting HDL-C or triglycerides concentrations. 

Quartz fiber filters K in. x 10 in. are used routinely to monitor compliance with the U.S. ambient air quality standard for paniculate matter. The EPA requires filters with <1 penetration of 0.3-/J m dioctyl phihalaic particles and low alkalinity, both provided by qiiartz and Teflon membrane filters (Appel, 1993 this reference cites publications on air sampling methodologies prescribed by EPA). Teflon membrane filters have a relatively high pressure...
