Snoring is the vibration of the respiratory channel in the human body that results in the generation of sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing in the sleep. In some of the cases, the sound may be soft, but in some cases, the sound could be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a first alarm of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The research study suggests that snoring is one of the factors of sleep deprivation.

Russian defence budget growth will - compared to the double-digit levels seen in recent years - slow down over the coming decade, amid sluggish real GDP expansion and efforts to limit government spending. It will nevertheless remain above 4% annually beyond 2017, reflecting Moscow's persistent efforts to play a prominent role on the global and regional stage, to modernise its military, and to protect against a broad range of security threats - the most notable of which stems from NATO. Russia's defence trade balance, meanwhile, will remain firmly in surplus over the years ahead, as the country works to increase exports (to make up for slowing domestic demand) and limit imports (amid Moscow's continued efforts to ensure sector self-sufficiency).

Land mobile radio (LMR) is used by enterprises and government organizations as a convenient means of communication. It is a sophisticated radio trunking service that enables two-way radio communication for mobile users to connect to LMR data networks and voice telephony. It operates on standards such as TETRA, DMR, P25, next generation digital narrowband (NXDN), and Tetrapol. LMR is mainly used in the following domains:

An ITG instrument is used to measure the level of liquid inside a storage tank. There are two techniques for measuring the level of liquid – volume-based tank gauging and mass-based tank gauging. ITG instruments are of two types – point level instruments and continuous level instruments. A point level instrument provides the liquid level reading at a specific point, whereas a continuous level instrument provides a continuous reading of the liquid level inside the tank. Based on technology, the ITG is categorized into two segments, namely electronic ITG and mechanical ITG.

The global industrial wireless sensors market is extremely dynamic, with the rapid technological advances strengthening its products and applications. The need for monitoring and analyzing real-time data is one of the major factors spurring the use of industrial wireless sensors. These industrial sensors are transducers that alter a physical quantity into electrical signals. The signal indications are processed through an electronic automation system and portray physical variations or error signals in the device or instrument. Based on this, industrial wireless sensors are classified into the following types: flow, temperature, pressure, gas sensors, and others.

The rising number of concerts and live performances is a major driver for the growth of the global guitar market. The growing interest in music among the youth population has led to the formation of numerous musical bands that perform various types of music like blues, pop, rock, metal, and electronica. In addition, an increase in the disposable income of consumers is leading to a high demand for guitars in developing countries such as China and India. As a result of changing lifestyles and higher standards of living, individuals are motivated to spend on leisure activities such as music, which is likely to increase sales of musical instruments.

The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy worldwide. The sustenance of the global economic machinery is dependent on these fuels. Crude oil is one such commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil can be defined as the mixture of compounds that primarily consists of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions, along with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations known as reservoirs in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools, which flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters from underground. These reservoirs of black gold are accessed by drilling through the surface till the pre-defined depth is reached.

Oat-based snacks are becoming increasingly popular across the globe. Companies are strategizing on launching innovative flavors of oat-based snacks, like cookies, bars, cakes, or savory snacks, to extend their consumer base, which will in return help them augment their respective market shares. As per Technavio's analysis, the market will be predominantly dominated by the prominent vendors, who will take part in most of the innovations in terms of new product launches and formulate comprehensive marketing strategies. Yet the relatively smaller and regional companies are also anticipated to increase their market share by offering culture-specific oat-based snacks.

The global nuclear reactor construction market is expected to grow at a steady pace with support from governments in the form of policies and increase in investments in developing countries to produce electricity from nuclear energy. A nuclear reactor is a device inside which controlled and the self-sustaining nuclear reaction of fissile material takes place. During this process, there is simultaneous release of energy that can be used to generate electricity. The working of a nuclear reactor is a complex process and requires a high level of expertise to operate it. Reactions inside a nuclear reactor are powerful and have radioactive radiations, which could cause a catastrophe if they are not contained well within the reactor. The step-wise process of converting the nuclear energy to electricity is represented below:

A nuclear-powered naval vessel uses nuclear energy to power its propulsion system and is constructed with a nuclear power plant placed inside a section of the ship, which is coded as the reactor compartment. The components of the nuclear power plant include a high-strength steel reactor vessel, heat exchanger, steam generator, and associated piping, pumps, and valves. Each nuclear reactor plant contains over 100 tons of lead shielding, a part of which is made radioactive through contact with a radioactive material or by neutron activation of impurities in lead.
