According to a WHO report, Helth Employment and Economic Growth: An Evidence Base(2017) women represented 70% of the 43 million global healthcare workforce. Additionally, women also represent a significant share of the informal care givers (taking care of patients at home). However, depite the large number of healthcare professionals being women, females are underrepresnted as decision makers. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum report on gender gap, only 35% of the women hold the leadership roles in the global healthcare industry (2017). Moreover, only 25% of the private organizations and 20% of the government leadership boards follow gender parity (2017). The absence of female decision makers in the venture capital (VC) firms is also evident. For instance, according to a report by International Finance Corporation (IFC), in 2017, only 10% women were decision makers or had a role in decision making in the venture capital firms globally . The lower representation of women in VC firms has led to the low capital flow in the women-led enterprises. For instance, according to the IFC report, the women-led enterprises garnered less than 3% of the total global venture capital in 2018.

Microarrays are the most popular form of lab-on-a-chip technology, due to the wide range of differentiation and applications. Increasing use of personal medical devices and the need for immediate results fromdiagnostic tests are the major factors driving the demand formicroarrays in the lab-on-a-chip andmicroarraysmarket. The lab-on-a-chip segment of the market studied is expected to have a positive market growth due to the rise in demand for diagnostics, increasing global population, and technological advancement. Furthermore, the rise in the adoption of personalized medicine and easy accessibility of lab-on-a-chip technology are expected to augment the demand for the same across the world. The technological advances have increased the throughput of device production, improved rapid prototyping efforts, and enabled researchers to enhance the complexity and sophistication of experiments that can be performed on a microfluidic chip. As a result,microfluidic technology has its immense potential for research in life science andmedicine. In the United States, the usage of high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies increased drastically in academic research. With the rising interest in HTS, the lab-on-chip technology is expected to be widely used in the country, due to its applications in high-throughput screening.

Petroleum exploration is primarily concerned with the geological interpretation of geophysical data. Geophysical data is usually gathered through geophysical methods by petroleum geologists to identify the presence of an active hydrocarbon system in various geologies. There are three main geophysical methods used in petroleum exploration: magnetic surveying, gravity surveying, and seismic surveying. Seismic survey is a vital part of exploring oil and gas. This method is based on the analysis of elastic waves generated in the Earth by artificial means. The elastic waves produced during sudden disturbance is called a seismic wave. A seismic source, such as underground dynamite or air gun, is used to generate seismic waves, sensed by receivers deployed, along with a preset geometry (called receiver array or geophones), and then recorded by a digital device called seismograph and the record obtained is known as seismogram. Based on a common propagation mechanism used in a seismic survey, seismic waves are grouped primarily into direct, reflected, refracted, and surface waves.

Sound navigation and ranging or Sonar is used for exploring, detecting, and mapping the ocean, since, sound waves travel farther in the water and experience less attenuation than radio frequency and optical signals. Sonar systems record the sound waves using hydrophones and process the signals to detect, locate, and classify different objects. The sonar system can be classified into two types - active and passive. Active sonar systems emit acoustic signals into the water and if an object is in the path of the sound pulse, the reflected signal returns an “echo” to the sonar transducer. Based on the time between the emission and reception of the acoustic pulse, the range and orientation of the object can be determined. Passive sonar systems are used to detect noise from marine objects without emitting its signal. This system is highly advantageous for military vessels that do not want to reveal its location to enemy military vessels in the water. Multiple passive sonar devices are used for the triangulation of a sound source. Sonar systems are widely being used for hydrography, oil exploration, fishing, and nautical charting activities.
