Initiation repair

The development of sepsis is complex and multifactorial. The normal host response to infection is designed to localize and control bacterial invasion and initiate repair of injured tissue through phagocytic cells and inflammatory mediators.1 Sepsis... 

If an instrument or instrument system malfunctions, the operator tries to correct the problem. If an alarm, flow- or temperature-measuring instrument or shutdown system malfunctions, the operator s first response should be an attempt to restore it to service. It may be a plugged impulse line, inadvertent flow shut off to an analyzer, etc. If the Instrument System is a Class 1 or 2, immediately go to Step 2. If the alarm is a Class J. the Lead Operator (or Shift Foreman) should be consulted and follow established procedures and his knowledge of the unit and the specifics of the situation to determine the temporary steps required. At the minimum, a note in the maintenance logbook must be made to initiate repairs. Stop Here for Class 3 Alarms. 

Ferrography provides the maintenance manager with two critical sets of decision support information condition monitoring, which prevents unnecessary maintenance, and precise trend information, which allows maintenance to initiate repairs before equipment faUute. This is accomplished by the analysis of wear particles in lubricants to determine their size, distribution, quantities, composition, and morphology (form and structure). 

The processors and supporting equipment are designed to meet industrial needs where unattended operation is the norm. This implies high reliability, an ability to detect and signal failures (to initiate repair) and failure modes which will not hazard plant or equipment. 

If the operator notes the need for adjustment or repair, the supervisor uses the pretrip inspection form to generate a work order for maintenance to initiate repairs. If the repair looks serious enough, the supervisor and operator will jointly make a decision about whether the equipment should be sidelined or if the equipment can safely operate in its current state. The judgment about whether equipment should continue to operate or be sidelined is too often a matter for debate. 

The E, coli tester strains work on the same principle as those for S. typhimurium, except that in E. coli the mutation of interest is usually in the tryptophan operon. However, these strains are able to detect base-pair substitutions. Sensitivity in E, coli strains has been increased by the introduction of uvrA and polA mutations. In increasing sensitivity by removing repair systems, one must make sure that the tests include excision-proficient strains, since there are certain agents, such as mitomycin, which are only mutagenic in these strains. This is probably because the mutational event occurs as an error during excision-initiated repair.
