Positive isolation for a vessel during man-entry involves implementing safety measures to ensure that the internal environment is secure and free from hazards. This typically includes isolating the vessel from any potential sources of energy, such as shutting off valves, venting gases, and locking out electrical sources. Additionally, barriers or physical locks are used to prevent accidental entry or the release of hazardous materials. These precautions help protect workers by minimizing the risk of exposure to toxic substances or unexpected pressures.
Positive stability in a ship refers to its ability to return to an upright position after being tilted by external forces like waves or wind. It ensures the safety and seaworthiness of the vessel by preventing it from capsizing or rolling over. Positive stability is achieved through the design and placement of the ship's ballast and weight distribution.
Yes, a 'vessel' can be a container.
Epinephrine constricts blood vessels when applied topically, reducing blood flow to the site of bleeding in the nose. This vasoconstriction helps to stop the bleeding and promotes the formation of a clot to seal the blood vessel.
When a liquid is held in a vessel, the water adheres to the side of the vessel. So when the amount of liquid held by the vessel is less than the full amount the vessel will hold, the liquid level rises where it touches the vessel. It "sticks" to the side of the vessel hard enough to be above the top of the liquid. This is called a negative meniscus. When the level of the liquid is higher than the top of the vessel (but doesn't overflow the top due to the surface tension of the liquid), then there is a positive meniscus.
Hemostasis involves both positive and negative feedback mechanisms, but it can be primarily characterized as a positive feedback process. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets adhere to the site and release signaling molecules that attract more platelets, amplifying the response until a clot is formed. This cascade continues until the bleeding is effectively stopped, demonstrating the positive feedback nature of hemostasis. However, once the clot is formed, negative feedback mechanisms help regulate and eventually dissolve the clot to restore normal blood flow.
Yes, more properly a Vessel as it is a type of ship. Vehicle is usually grammatically restricted to Land Vehicles such as Autos, Trucks, etc. though I have seen it applied to commercial aircraft. Vessel applies to all watercraft- the Japanese term Maru means vessel in the broadest sense- including cook-pots, tubs, etc.
The bunsen burner is used to heat items for experiments using a controllable temperature flame and surface area at which the heat is applied to the vessel.
I guess it depends on whether it's sealed or not. If it's open to the atmosphere how can it be under pressure ? If it's sealed it could be put under (positive or negative) pressure so would be, by definition, a pressure vessel IMHO.
the PWC
Place a vessel loop twice around a vessel so that if you put tension on the vessel loop, it will occlude the vessel.
The vessel being "overtaken" is the stand-on vessel. The vessel "overtaking" is the give-way vessel.
When a sailing vessel and a pwc are meeting head on the sailing vessel is the stand on vessel.
When the motorized vessel is a commercial vessel or when the motorized vessel has another vessel or person in tow.
The vessel overtaking another vessel
the vessel being overtaken
The vessel that is overtaking another vessel is the vessel that should give way. This means that the vessel that is being overtaken can remain on course.
Dilation of a blood vessel is the term for physiologic widening of the vessel. Abnormal widening of the blood vessel through a weakening of the wall is known as aneurysm.Dilation of a blood vessel means widening of the vessel.
