The use of landmines became widespread during the Second World War, where its main motive was to injure rather than to kill. Even after the war, many of these explosives are still active in the regions of conflict and often cause severe damage to civilians stepping on them. In 1997, 162 countries signed the Ottawa Treaty and pledged to stop its production and use. However, modern warfare has seen landmines to be increasingly replaced by improvised explosive devices, usually known as IEDs. IEDs pose a substantial threat to civilians and soldiers across the globe. Recent domestic events involving IEDs include the San Bernardino attack, Boston Marathon bombings, New York/New Jersey bombings and few others.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are portable and lightweight electronic device that deliver electric shock to the heart through chest. AEDs determine the cardiac arrhythmia and ventricular tachycardia and treat them with defibrillation to resume normal rhythm.
Clinical chemistry, an applied part of biochemistry is the territory of science that deals with examination of body fluids for diagnostic and restorative purposes. Clinical chemistry is a tool used in hospitals, clinical laboratories, and physician’s office to test whole blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluids, and urine samples for detection of analyte concentration, to find out hematology values, to diagnose disease, metabolic function or to assess presence of drugs. The common two methods deployed in clinical chemistry are photometry and ion selective electrodes (ISE).
Flexible glass is defined as a glass possessing a minimum thickness of 25 micrometers (microns). These are also known as innovative glasses as they are thinner and flexible than a human hair. Flexible glass is preferred over plastics, metals and silicon owing to its optical quality, surface quality, thermal capability, hermeticity, chemical compatibility and dimensional stability. The development of flexible glass has greatly generated interest among industry players and prompted for further research and development for flexible electronics, photovoltaic and organic light emitting diodes (OLED).
Wound dressing is a dynamic and complex process which requires appropriate condition to stimulate the healing process. Wound healing is the consequences of cooperation among growth factors, extracellular matrix, blood and cytokines. Wound, regardless of whether it is a minor or a major cut, it is important to take care of, some portion of this procedure incorporates wound dressing.
Royal Jelly Market Is Projected to Expand At A CAGR Of 12.5% Between 2025 And 2033. Royal jelly is composed of 67% water, 11% simple sugars, 12.5% protein, 5% fatty acids, and 2-3% 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA). Royal jelly also consists of trace minerals, vitamin B5, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and trace amounts of vitamin C. Royal Jelly is a thick smooth milky substance emitted by the organs of working honeybees to sustain creating hatchlings and queen honeybees. It is fed as a nutrition agent to larvae bees and drones during the early three days of their lives to stimulate growth.
Aluminum is widely utilized for multiple applications in the automobile industry. Aluminum powders, pastes, and flakes are used in automotive paints and by OEM for coatings of high-duty engine components and brake linings. Aluminum pigment consists of small flake particles, which are processed into high metallic lusture. Aluminum powder is polished in a ball mill in the presence of mineral spirits such as oleic acid leading to formation of thin particles in the form of flakes.
Transport authorities, governments and companies are in continuous hunt for more flexible and convenient video surveillance technologies in order to ensure effective protection from theft, vandalism, fraud and terrorism. Mobile video surveillance is based on the concept of facilitating real-time monitoring of live video feed using smartphones and tablets. Accessing video surveillance feed through mobile devices greatly helps enhancing public safety and security by ensuring timely intervention in case of any unwanted incidents. The live video feed can be easily accessed using smartphones, tablets or laptops connected to an internet network.
Polybenzimidazole (PBI) fiber is defined as the synthetic textile fiber which possess high chemical resistance and is inflammable in air. PBI fiber does not exhibit any melting point and therefore does not drip when exposed to flame and even at temperatures of 560˚C. In the textile industry PBI fiber is witnessing strong demand as they retain their strength without infringement even when exposed to extreme higher temperatures. In any case, under outrageous conditions, the fiber emanates little smoke.
Refrigerant is a mixture of fluids, which work as a cooling agent in refrigeration cycles and heat pumps. Refrigerants work on the phase transition principle that is they turn into gas from liquid and vice versa at inconstant temperatures. Refrigerants are either used as primary fluids in absorption refrigeration frameworks or as secondary refrigeration fluids to transmit thermal energy across different mediums.
