Intravenous therapy. Intravenous cannulation is used to gain access to the body's circulation. It is indicated for three reasons :(1) to administer fluids;(2) to administer drugs; and(3) to obtain specimens for laboratory testing. The intravenous route puts the drug directly into the bloodstream.... An area commonly used for peripheral intravenous therapy is the hands. Another is the arms. This includes the antecubital fossae(AC space). Other sites are the long saphenous veins in the leg and the external jugular veins in the neck. 4, record 1, English, - peripheral%20intravenous%20therapy

Circuit of electric field measurements of thunderclouds. ... The electric field mill is a device based on electrostatic induction. It consists of one or two electrodes which either rotate in an electrostatic field or become periodically exposed to a field by rotating vanes. Fig.46 illustrates a cylindrical field mill which consists of two cylinder halves that are electrically insulated from each other. An electric motor rotates the two halves in the electric field to be measured so that they become alternately exposed to both the positive and negative direction of the field. The result is that an alternating (ac) signal is generated across the two halves which can be easily amplified. ... Although not commonly used, the cylindrical field mill has the advantage that when mounted in a fixed position it can also indicate the direction of the field. This is accomplished by measuring the phase shift of the ac signal relative to the orientation of electric fields need to be measured. 2, record 9, English, - cylindrical%20field%20mill
