The backing provides mechanical protection against abrasion and soil stress forces after the pipeline is buried.
2.
The liquid originally served as a circulatory fluid for oxygen, nutrients, wastes, and immune functions, allowing greater total thickness and higher mechanical protection.
3.
Jim Garrett of the Coast Guard, which helped Carnival crew members fight the fire, said the Ecstasy's mechanical protections appear to have performed well.
4.
This improves the molecular structure such that the polyolefin will work as part of a heat-shrinkable sleeve and provide the required level of mechanical protection while in-service.
5.
The uterus provides mechanical protection, nutritional support, and waste removal for the developing embryo ( weeks 1 to 8 ) and fetus ( from week 9 until the delivery ).
6.
For industrial applications with remote electronics, the ion chamber is housed in a separate enclosure which provides mechanical protection and contains a desiccant to remove moisture which could affect the termination resistance.
7.
The report concluded with a number of recommendations including better mechanical protection of electrical equipment ( impact and ingress of gas or dust ), trip coils in place of fuses and better cleaning.
8.
In addition, mechanical protection such as solar shading with angle blades operating like shelf lights prevent the glare effect due to the direct sunshine by reflecting the light onto the ceiling and thus enhancing daylighting.
9.
Mucopolysaccharides impart structural integrity to the gastric mucosa and collagen imparts properties like ionic capability to attract blood components essential to tissue regeneration, mechanical protection, high tensile strength and slow digestibility to the gastric mucosa.
10.
For pipelines that encounter saturated soils or water, wood lagging is often installed in between bolt-on concrete weights, acting as a spacer to keep the weights in place as well as to provide mechanical protection to the pipe.
