  2. Barrier nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_nursing

    Barrier nursing is a set of stringent infection control techniques used in nursing. The aim of barrier nursing is to protect medical staff against infection by patients and also protect patients with highly infectious diseases from spreading their pathogens to other non-infected people. Barrier nursing was created as a means to maximize ...

  8. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    Distance relays, also known as impedance relay, differ in principle from other forms of protection in that their performance is not governed by the magnitude of the current or voltage in the protected circuit but rather on the ratio of these two quantities. Distance relays are actually double actuating quantity relays with one coil energized by ...
