From rm experimental point of view, studies with protein solutions are very difficult due to their extremely high surface activity. In many experimental techniques the adsorption at the interface, or sometimes even at the surface of the container, tubes and connectors of the dosing system, can lead to a depletion of protein in the bulk. Estimations have shown that the protein mass in the bulk of a drop and in the adsorption layer at the drop surface, are comparable for drops of a radius of 1.5 mm and a bulk concentration of c < 20 mg/1 [234]. The use of the drop shape method however may be considerably extended to small surface pressures, usually n < 2 mN/m and hence to low bulk concentrations when taking into account the protein mass... 

Engineering controls are normally designed and built into the laser equipment to provide for safety. In most instances, these are included on the equipment (i.e., provided by the laser manufacturer). Some of these controls are protective housing, master switch control, optical viewing systan safety, beam stop or attenuation, laser activation warning system, service access panels, protective housing interlock requirements, and a remote interlock connector. 

Fig. 18.28 Posteroanterior chest radiograph (A) and close-up view (B) from a patient with congenital heart disease and an abandoned dual-chamber endocardial pacing system. Two ventricular epicardial leads are connected with a Y connector to a single chamber ventricular pacemaker. On the close-up view (B) the arrow notes a defect in the lead adaptor just as it exits the connector block.

FPTC is based on FPTN [3], and is applied to a model of system architecture. In this approach the failure behaviours of both components and connectors are determined and modelled. FPTC takes the view that connectors between components are communication protocols, and because a communication protocol also has its own potential failure behaviour, the protocols in the model must be treated identically to the components of the system - i.e., their failures are also modelled.
