Diagnostics is an important and integral part of healthcare that is used both for medical examinations and for planning and monitoring the treatment of sick patients. Hematology is one of the basic specialties that forms most tests performed in a routine medical laboratory operation. Hematology tests are one of the most performed diagnostic tests across the globe. The increased research and development have resulted in various diagnostic insights from studying blood. Blood components are seen as markers for various healthcare conditions. This scope is increasing, and many rare blood-related disorders also can be identified using simpler hematology tests. This is driving the demand for new hematology innovations in the market.

The practice of using limited space and resources for planting is known as vertical farming. It’s a way of harvesting crops on shelves and towers located vertically rather than conventional horizontal farming. In vertical farming, crops are cultivated indoors, underneath artificial conditions of light and temperature. In other words, vertical farming aims to offer higher productivity in smaller spaces. During vertical farming, preferred arrays of the light spectrum sub for the Sun and nutrients are delivered with water, eradicating the need for soil. Vertical farming predominantly focuses on efficiencies, such as growing crops more quickly than conventional farming, employing technology such as sensors, robots, and LEDs as a Sun replacement, with algorithms to optimize lighting and growing conditions. Vertical farms require costly energy and costlier engineers than conventional farming.

The recent technological advancement in the field of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and cell and molecular biology has given birth to the new era of precision medicine, which offers a platform to analyze the variability in genes, lifestyle, and environment of each person individually. Now, the researchers have found an even better option through cell sequencing, which precedes the advancements of next-generation sequencing. In the past few decades, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) methods have been applied to single cells to combine DNA, RNA, protein, and chromatin information through a single cell. The transcriptomics technique has enabled researchers to use genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics to understand the heterogeneity of genetically identical cells in the same tissue.

As per the scope of the study, conventional microscopes are surgical or operating microscopes that are designed to be used in surgical procedures, typically to perform microscopic surgeries. The system is an optical instrument that offers the surgeon or user high-quality, stereoscopic, illuminated, and magnified images of the surgical area.

Smart farming is a concept in agriculture that involves data collection, data analysis, and data-driven decision making to increase yield, monitor crops and animals, and improve overall efficiency in all possible agricultural operations. Smart farming method or concept employs various technologies that become the means of operation. For example, to collect data, smart farming depends on the internet of things (IoT) and other sensorbased technologies, which allow seamless data collection. For data analysis, various farm management software and artificial intelligence (AI) based tools can be used to make sense of the collected data, and later autonomous machines and other mechanical equipment can be utilized to take necessary actions; for example, drones can be used to spread inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.

Europe is a highly lucrative market. The demand has been fueled by spectacular strides in the food services industry. Food manufacturers have been early adopters of innovative composite materials to meet their end-use functional characteristics. Further, the region has a marked presence of some of the globally prominent flexible manufacturers. North America and Asia Pacific are expected to offer incremental opportunities to players in the global metallized flexible packaging market. Other key reginal markets are expected to be South America and the Middle East and Africa.

Indoor farming is an important part of modern agriculture for producing crops in a controlled environment. There is an increasing growth for indoor farming globally propelled by the rising world population along with a consequent demand for consistent food supplies. Conventional agriculture is suitable for areas with sufficient land and water supply. Since the percentage of arable land and water supply to support conventional agriculture is diminishing, the demand for indoor farming is heightening. Indoor farms can help to grow the total crop yield per unit area by utilizing the stacked layers of potted seeds, and this is further expected to drive the market. Indoor farming mainly implements methods, including aquaponics, aeroponics, and hydroponics also utilizes artificial lighting such as LED lights for adequate light levels and nutrients. Indoor farming method or concept further employs various technologies that become the means of operation. For instance, to collect data, indoor farming depends on the Internet of Things (IoT), GPS, and other sensor-based technologies, which allow seamless data collection. For data analysis, several farm management software and artificial intelligence (AI) based tools can be utilized to make sense of the collected data, and later autonomous machines and other mechanical equipment can be employed to take necessary actions.

The agriculture sector is quickly emerging in platform economics, and the rapid development of digital interfaces does not entirely depend on supply and demand. Collaborative platforms, such as finance, renting farms, exchanging services, and produces such as seeds, fruits, vegetables, and others have also appeared along with marketplaces. As internet networks are expanding into rural areas and smart devices are penetrating the agriculture sector, more opportunities to use technology for the benefit of farmers are growing. The agricultural produce, supplies, equipment, among others, are available on various platforms.

Dicyclopentadiene is a chemical compound with the formula C10H12. It is co-produced in large quantities in the steam cracking of naphtha and gas oils to ethylene as part of the separation process of crude C5 streams. It is a colorless, waxy, flammable solid or liquid with a camphor-like odor. Dicyclopentadiene is highly flammable, with a flashpoint of 90°F/32°C and a boiling point of 338ºF/170°C. The major uses are in resins, particularly unsaturated polyester resins. As a chemical intermediate, it is used for making insecticides, hardeners, and dryers in linseed and soybean oil and in the production of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomers, metallocenes, resins, varnishes, and paints.

CRISPR is a technology that is used in gene editing enabling researchers and scientists globally to alter DNA sequence and modify gene function with ease. CRISPR gene editing was adopted from the antivirus immunity system of single-celled microorganisms, namely archaea and bacteria. Fragments of alien DNA, known as a spacer, are incorporated and transcribed into guide crRNA (CRISPR RNAs) to specifically target and cleave the genome of the virus and other foreign bodies using Cas proteins. In other words, the CRISPR/Cas9 system directs the Cas9 nuclease to form a site-directed double-strand DNA break using a small RNA molecule that results in permanent alterations of the genomic target sequence and repair the damage caused to DNA. These components, when transferred into more complex organisms, enable gene editing or modifications.
