Filtration is a method used to separate or collect a desired solid from a solution, or to remove solid impurities from a liquid. This process is done by passing a contaminated fluid through a membrane, filter paper or any other filtration media, and the pure desired filtrate is obtained on the other end. The filtration media often have a large number of pores of different sizes to filter particles and contaminants of different sizes. Laboratory filtration offerings find applications in a wide range of industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, healthcare, chemicals, semi-conductor, and environment monitoring among many others.

Most industries include certain safety hazards, which can prove fatal to the employees. The use of PPE protects employees from injuries and helps reduce employer liability along with financial costs. According to the estimates by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the return on investment for $1 spent on PPE by an employer is $4 in the form of reduced injuries and improved employee productivity. According to Canadian Standards Association standards, a worksite should be assessed for potential work hazards. Mandatory government regulations and the rising awareness of safety risks prompt employers to purchases PPE.

The lighting is defined by the type of light source technologies such as incandescent, halogen, CFL, LFL, HID, LED, and OLED. The report examines only four major technologies that are predominantly used in the hospitality sector, which include CFL, LFL, HID, and LED. With the history of different lighting sources such as incandescent lighting, fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, and tungsten photonic lighting, LED lighting is the latest transition, which the industry has adopted. LED lighting devices provide several advantages such as high-intensity brightness, low voltage and current requirements, low radiated heat, high reliability, negligible ultra-violet (UV) rays, and a longer lifespan over the conventional lighting sources.

Globally, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), consumer electronics, furniture and furnishings, apparel, and beauty products segments are exhibiting considerable growth potential. The demand for leather goods is expected to increase with the growing disposable income and the rising millennial population, an attractive target group for these products. A key growth factor during the forecast period will be the increasing influence of social and digital platforms on consumers. In addition, services such as free shipping and product returns that enhance consumer experience will also play a pivotal role.

In the leather production process, tanning is the second step after the preparation of the hide and is followed by the crusting process. The conversion of raw hides or skins into leather is known as tanning. Hides and skins possess the ability to absorb tannic acid and other chemical substances that prevent them from decaying, besides making them resistant to wetting and keeping them durable and supple. The surface of hides and skins contains hair and oil glands and is known as the grain side. The flesh side of the skin or the hide is much thicker and softer compared with the grain side.

Cancer that starts from hematopoietic stem cells of the bone marrow is referred to as leukemia. Leukemia can be chronic or acute depending on the maturity of the cells. Also, based on the bone marrow cells from which cancer starts, leukemia can be categorized as lymphocytic or myeloid. Hence, based on these categorizations, leukemia can be broadly classified into four types.

The incapability of light to penetrate obstructions and walls ensures that data transmitted will be limited to the room or space. This property makes Li-Fi more secure than Wi-Fi. In addition, Li-Fi does not cause electromagnetic interference. Although the LED bulb must be kept on for transmitting the signal, it can be lowered as per needs. Data can be transferred using Li-Fi technology through all types of light, regardless of their spectrum. Moreover, Li-Fi ensures that a user does not necessarily have to be in a Wi- Fi enabled region, and can surf the internet by being around a source of light.

Limestone is a naturally occurring and abundant sedimentary rock consisting of high levels of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, or dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate CaMgCO3) along with other minerals. After mining, limestone is initially crushed using a primary crusher and depending on the required size. It is further crushed using a secondary or tertiary crusher to reduce its size further. Then it is screened into various sizes for the commercial end-use applications.

Owing to the innovative additive manufacturing approaches taken by both the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component suppliers, the overall manufacturing cost for aircraft components is anticipated to decrease. This is expected to propel the adoption rates of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the production of commercial aircraft parts.The growing adoption of lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft will also influence the acceptance of 3D printing technology globally. Owing to the substantial investments, the Americas will have the highest market share of 43.56% in 2020,followed by APAC with 31.24%.The increasing efforts to develop miniaturized jet engines will drive the adoption of 3D printing technologies among engine and component manufacturers across the globe. Also, it is expected that there will be increased collaborations among OEMs and computer-aided design (CAD) technology providers, which will ensure further advancements in the existing 3D printing technology.

The automotive segment is a key application area for aerogels and accounted for a 4.9% share of the global aerogel market in 2015. The segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 28.06% during the forecast period. The demand for aerogels is growing from the automotive segment owing to their unique properties like excellent thermal resistance, enhanced acoustic insulation, light weight, reduced thickness, and fire and water resistance.In terms of form, the blanket form is the largest segment of the market. It was the first form of aerogels that was commercialized for end-use applications.In terms of application, the oil and gas segment dominated the market in 2015 with a share of 68.5%. Reduced thickness and superior insulation properties of aerogels are of prime importance for the oil and gas industry. The demand for aerogels is high for oil and gas applications as this industry is more temperature-sensitive, and employs the transportation of unprocessed hydrocarbons over long distances.North America is the largest region in terms of consumption of aerogel materials, and had a 51.2% share of the market in 2015. Globally, the region is leading the global aerogel market with respect to product innovation, and in terms of quality and application development. The North American aerogel market is largely driven by the oil and gas segment, where the demand for advanced solutions that combine reduced thickness and superior insulating properties with low thermal conductivity is high.
