Radioactive materials include radionuclides and unstable atoms, which emit invisible radiation that can be detected by instruments. Radiation monitoring is used to control the exposure to radiation or the rapidly increasing radioactive substances by measuring radiation dose or contamination levels. The need for nuclear expansion in China is

The high prevalence of TB in India has led to the development of many new initiatives for quick and efficient diagnosis. The TB prevalence rate is high in countries, like China, India, and Africa. Hence, the governments of these respective countries are trying to decrease the rate, by increasing government initiatives and hospitals. The United States continued to make slow progress toward TB elimination, as CDC played an important role in TB elimination, by working with state and local partners in the United States. The US government also focused on strengthening support for laboratory accreditation as a means of assuring high-quality TB diagnostic service, with highly efficient diagnostic tools. Sputum smear microscopy test has been the most commonly used test for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in low- and middle-income countries. This is a simple, rapid, and inexpensive technique, which is highly specific in areas with a very high prevalence of tuberculosis. Another laboratory test includes the culture-based test for the diagnosis of TB, which remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, mainly in the developing countries.

Automotive lightweight materials have been witnessing robust growth during the past couple of years, due to the increasing demand for luxurious, low-on-emission, safe, and high-performance vehicles. As a result, suppliers and manufacturers have introduced various solutions that not only help OEMs meet continually tightening regulations, but also satisfy the widening range of consumer personal taste. TPVs have superior strength, high-temperature mechanical properties, hot oil and solvent resistance, and better compression set than partially-cured material. These materials are blends of elastomers, typically rubbers, including EPDM, EPR, SBS, polybutadiene (BR), or butyl rubber (IIR), dispersed in a relatively small amount of thermoplastic matrix, typically polyethylene or polypropylene. Thermoplastic vulcanizates contain 60-70% EPDM and 30-40% impact polypropylene. Typical TPV applications in the automotive industry include hose coverings, gaskets, seals, convoluted boots, vibration dampeners, air inlet duct covers, bushings, strut covers, ignition components, and window seals. Cost is the biggest advantage, with TPVs being 10-30% lower than EPDM, coupled with lower weight, improved design flexibility, and recyclability. Furthermore, the light weight of TPV enables more fuel-efficient vehicles. Every 10% reduction in vehicle weight is estimated to result in a 5-7% reduction in fuel usage.

Soft magnetic material are those materials that are easily magnetized and demagnetized and are known for having intrinsic coercivity less than 1000 Am. Soft magnetic material is known for enhance and channel the flux produced by electric current. Material considered under includes nickel, cobalt, iron, electric steel, soft ferrite, and their alloys. These material are used in both AC and DC applications. In DC applications, the material is magnetized to perform an operation and then demagnetized at the end of the operation. While, in AC applications, material is continuously cycled and being magnetized in one direction to other throughout the period of application. This is one of the major advantages that the soft magnetic material has over hard magnetic material.

Evidence-based research studies on healthcare technologies indicated that the adoption of patient portals reached 90% in most of the developed countries. This means, 90% of the providers offer patient portals to their patients in the United States. However, there are still some unmet needs of the patients that require more actions, in order to drive the effective use of patient portals across the developing countries. Despite the higher adoption rate of patient portals, the number of patients that use the portal to take care of their health is low. According to a report published by the American Hospital Association (AHA), only 30% of the patients in the United States actively use patient portal. The scenario is similar in the European countries, such as Germany and France, where the adoption is higher, but the actual use is yet to reach the satisfactory percentage.
