A wound can be defined as a breakdown in the protective function of the skin, loss of continuity of epithelium, with or without the loss of underlying connective tissues such as muscles, bones, and nerves. This could result in injury to the skin or underlying tissues or organs resulting from surgery, cuts, chemicals, friction/shear force, pressure, or as a result of a disease such as diabetic foot ulcers. The wound can be open or closed. In case of open wounds, the protective body surface (the skin or mucous membranes) breaks, permitting the entry of foreign material into the tissues. In contrast, for closed wounds, the damaged tissues are not exposed to the exterior, and the process of repair/healing can take place without the interference that contamination brings, in a greater or lesser degree.

Radiation sources are used to power spacecraft and satellites and can be used to generate electrical power for consumer use, as it is done in a nuclear reactor. There are between 400 and 500 nuclear reactors producing around 20% of the world’s electricity. according to the World Nuclear Association, the United States has the highest number of nuclear power reactors in operation as of June 2019, i.e., 97, followed by France with 58 and China with 45. Thus, the increased use of radioactive materials in areas, such as power production, industrial processing, medical research and processing, and the security sector, intensified the need for equipment offering protection against radioactive radiations. The increased stability of manufacturing industries is likely to augment the growth of the market during the forecast period. Usage of radiography testing in the manufacturing industry, to test the quality of manufactured goods and to inspect flaws, is also likely to fuel the growth of the market. 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.

Theme park can be defined as an outdoor attraction which combines rides, shows, and attraction. It is also designed around a group of themes or central themes, which also charges a pay-one-price admission fee to visitor. Theme park as an aggregation of themed attraction includes retail shops, foodservices, shows, costumed personnel, architecture, rides, and landscape. Theme parks are also examples of highly developed, man modified, capital intensive, and user-oriented recreational environments. It is a destination in its own, which combines food & beverages, shops, and entertainment.

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.
