Technical measures

Preventive and protective measures. Technical safety measures must always be developed no matter how inherently safe we think the process is. The scope of preventive and protection measures is large for the whole plant. Below, some preventive measures to be taken to prevent thermal runaways when a dangerous situation is recognized are listed ... 

As a consequence of the acknowledged criticality of some infrastructures, it has been identified the need for a organized and coordinated approach to their protection, that should encompass all measures (technical, social, economic, etc.) needed for ensuring the dependable functioning of the CIs— the topic now usually known as Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). 

The free 0-methylated amine metabolites are present in plasma at picomolar concentrations that have made their accurate measurement technically difficult. Measurements of plasma metanephrines therefore represent relatively recent developments. The.first method enabling accurate measurement of plasma free normetanephrine involved a radioenzymatic assay in which normetanephrine was converted to H-iabeled metanephrine using preparations of the enzyme phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, incubated with H-methyi-labeled S-adenosylmethionine. This method, however, did not allow measurements of metanephrine or methoxytyramine, and therefore had limited clinical utility.

The determination of error associated with the measurement is a very important task. It is probably as important as the measurement. Technical journals and scientific reports never report results of experiments without the error corresponding to these results. A measurement reported without an error is almost worthless. For this reason, the study of errors is a topic of great importance for scientists and engineers.

In the case of challenge by the authorities in charge of market surveillance, a report in the sense of Article 8(2) (which, however, is not mandatory) is considered an element of proof. In fact, in addition to the three basic conformity assessment measures [technical documentation, declaration of conformity, and CE marking]. Article 8(2) provides, in the event that conformity is challenged, for the possible submission to the market surveillance authority of a report drawn up by a notified body as evidence that the electrical equipment complies with the safety objectives. (Article 2 and Annex 1)... 

These classification methods use different principles and rules for learning and prediction of class membership, but wiU usually produce a comparable result. Some comparisons of the methods have been given (i.e., Kotsiantis, 2007 Rani et al., 2006). Although the modem methods such as SVM have demonstrated very good performance, the drawback is that the model becomes an incomprehensible black-box that removes the explanatory information provided by, for example, a logistic regression model. However, classification performance usually outweighs the need for a comprehensible model. PCA has been used for classification based on bioimpedance measurements. Technically, PCA is not a method for classification but rather a method of data reduction, more suitable as a parameterization step before the classification analysis. 

Technical plans shall be prepared to supplement the engineering plan, as needed. Technical plans should be prepared by the engineering and technical specialty areas to which they apply and should be used to measure technical progress against the plans. Technical plans are typically prepared for risk management, configura-... 

Many preventive measures (technical, organizational and personal), which have led to the improvement of the working conditions and to the higher protection of workers, were taken in the operator s workplace. The lead concentration measuring confirmed the highest quahty of the working envhonment.

I measured technical expertise by means of Franke et al. s (2006) well-established 4-item scale. Psychometric reliability was high (Cronbach s u=0,902, all item-to-total correlations higher than 0,7 ). 

Advances in the measurement technics in the last 15 years especially the development of channel electron multipliers (CEM s) render now the possibility to detect besides electrons (or in general negative particles) also positive ions. Dickinson et al. [12-22 3 examined particle emissions and corresponding emissions of photons, radio-waves and accustic waves accompanying macroscopic fractui e...
