Geomembranes are synthetic membrane liners used in geotechnical engineering to contain or control the flow of fluids or vapors. The two common processes used to manufactur geomembranes are calendering and extrusion; the raw materials used are polyethylene bitumen composites, or geotextiles in combination with polymer sprays, colorants, asphalt, or elastomers. HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PP, and EPDM are the most widely used forms. Geomembranes are vital to the Waste Management, Water Management, and Mining industries.

Antisense and RNAi therapeutics are new innovative therapeutic options that can be used for the treatment of serious chronic and rare diseases. RNAi is an RNA-based gene silencing process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression by destroying specific mRNA molecules. Antisense technology involves the synthesis of a strand of nucleic acid that would bind to the disease-causing mRNA. It binds to the mRNA or to a splicing site on the pre-mRNA and inactivates it effectively. RNAi and antisense are two of the predominant technologies used by pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and others for various applications in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. RNAi therapeutics offers a wide scope in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Two types of RNA molecules are used in RNAi technology: miRNA and siRNA. RNAi molecules bind to other specific RNAs in the cell, such as mRNA, to manage their activity to treat the RNA-mediated disorder.

A grid-scale energy storage system generally refers to technologies that are used for energy storage that can be utilized during power shortages, power blackouts, or during high demand for power supply. These technologies mainly include pumped-hydro storage systems, advanced batteries, flywheels, and other evolving technologies such as CAES. Grid-scale energy storage is a technique used in large-scale storage of electricity in a power grid. Such electricity storage is required when the amount of electricity generated is greater than the electricity demand. The surplus electricity saved in energy storage systems is supplied to customers when the demand is higher than the generation. Grid-scale energy storage is a mechanism of storing electricity during the off-peak period and supplying the stored electricity during the on-peak period.

Packaging, in broad terms, refers to the technology of enclosing a product for the purpose of storage, distribution, sale, and use. Containers, in general terms, refer to a package, wrapper, or receptacle in which a product is offered for sale. It does not include shipping containers, package liners, or any large outer wrapping that is not provided for the consumer. Container and packaging products can be manufactured using a number of raw materials such as metal, plastic, paper, glass, and fiber. The Global Container and Packaging market comprises products manufactured for packaging purposes used by numerous sectors including Food, Beverages, Healthcare, Toiletries, Personal Care, and others.

miRNAs are single-stranded, small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the translation level. They play a vital role in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics to study expression of genes and to control diseases by gene silencing. They interact with mRNA molecules and regulate expression of genes by mRNA cleavage, translational repression, and deadenylation. They are generally 17-27 nucleotides long and regulate post-transcriptional mRNA expression by binding to the 3’ untranslated region of the mRNA sequence, which results in translational suppression and gene silencing. miRNAs are involved in a wide range of biological processes, including apoptosis, cell cycle control, and several developmental processes such as stem cell differentiation, hypoxia, hematopoiesis, neurogenesis, insulin secretion, cardiac and skeletal muscle development, aging, cholesterol metabolism, viral replication, and immune responses. They can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of some severe diseases including cancer and genetic disorders by introducing specific miRNAs into diseased cells to silence the defective gene.

Fabry disease is an inheritable lysosomal storage disease characterized by excessive accumulation of GL-3 in lysosomes. It results from the deficiency of α-Gal and can result in symptoms such as fatigue, angiokeratoma, tinnitus, kidney failure, heart disorders and anervous system problems. Fabry disease results from mutations in the GLA gene resulting in decreased activity or complete absence of α-Gal.

The Food industry is the largest of all industries in the world and plays an important role in the economy of any country. The Global Food and Beverages market is expected to reach US$5.77 trillion by 2017, growing at a CAGR of 5.02 percent. Since food products need to reach the customers in fresh form, they require extremely protective and durable materials for packaging. An increase in the demand for prepared food and dairy products has brought a transformation in the Packaging industry. The vendors in the Global Food Packaging market are continuously inventing new packaging materials that can prevent contamination of food products. Some food packaging types are cups, cans, sachets, bottles, and tubs, which are made for the convenience of the customer and the requirement of the product. Apart from providing convenience to the customers, packaging plays a major role in attracting the customers to purchase the product.

The Global Tobacco market comprises three major categories of products: cigarettes, cigar and cigarillos, and other tobacco products. In 2013, cigarettes dominated the Global Tobacco market with a share of more than 85 percent. The rising prevalence of smoking worldwide coupled with increasing disposable income and active participation of the female population in smoking is fueling the growth of the Global Tobacco market. In terms of geography, China led the Global Tobacco market in 2013. However, an increase in the demand for e-cigarettes acts as a major threat to the traditional Cigarette market worldwide.

Fungicides are a class of pesticide that are formulated to inhibit or kill the growth of fungus on crops and plants. Fungicides that are synthesized from natural sources are commonly known as bio-fungicides. An increase in the global demand for food has increased the pressure on farmers to enhance their crop yield. Hence, farmers are increasingly adopting fungicides to meet the demand for food. The major types of fungicide used include triazoles, strobilurins, dithiocarbamates, inorganics, other azoles, phthalimides, and benzimidazoles. Fungicides are also used for non-crop applications such as turf and ornamental management.
