  An offshore pipeline system is a buried pipeline that is dug beneath the ocean or in saltwater areas in close proximity to shore. The pipeline is constructed within an underground trench or under the ocean bed to protect the pipeline from the corrosive effects of the salty sea water. In some instances, the pipeline is completely on-land but at other locations it traverses water bodies, including large oceans, small rivers and even small straits. The majority of offshore pipelines are located in the U.S. although there are also many that originate in various foreign countries. For example, the largest onshore pipeline system in the world is the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which is located between Canadian and Alaska. An Offshore pipeline system can be a very useful method of transportation of both crude and natural gas. Offshore oil drilling and petroleum production on land have created many problems for the offshore oil industry. This method of production has caused many envi...

The nasal cannula is a plastic tube with a thin metal cannula attached at its other end to form a puncture-like opening in the nasal wall. It is a small flexible tube that is often shaped like a long needle that is used to provide supplementary oxygen or greater lung flow to an individual or persons in need of respiratory assistance. This device is made up of a thin titanium tube that on one end fits into the nostril on either side or the other contains two small prongs that are inserted into the nostril and from there a mixture of oxygen and air flows into the patient's lungs. The prime function of nasal cannula is to deliver supplementary oxygen and in some cases may be used to stimulate breathing through the nose in severe cases, which may result in quick respiration. The use of this device has helped millions around the world who find it difficult to breathe on their own.

  Nucleic acid testing is a method of detecting the genetic material of a virus-typically RNA, a nucleic acid molecule. In this method, DNA samples from biological fluids are mixed with antirussian and streptavirus antigens and amplified by the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. After being mixed with samples of known pathogen, antibodies are produced that bind to the antigens. The amount of antigens binding to the antibody is detected and the titre can be assessed using a Computerized Identification System (CIS). Some of the DNA test kits include probe sets that enable the user to test for specific types of microbial, chemical or other infectious agents. A positive result indicates that a person is infected with a viral infection. This type of test detects the genetic material in a non-plaque blood sample, allowing researchers to determine the viral burden on various body organs. A specific DNA probe is used to identify the genetic material on a basis of the sequence o...
