Oil and gas remains as one of the most highly valued commodities in the energy sector. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on improving efficiency, and reducing downtime has been a priority for the oil and gas companies as their profits slashed since 2014, due to fluctuating oil prices. However, as concerns over the environmental impact of energy production and consumption persist, oil and gas companies are actively seeking innovative approaches to achieve their business goals, while reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the price of oil reduced by 40%, since hitting four-year highs of above USD 76 a barrel in October 2018, in the United States, nur turing concerns for oil and gas firms. Hence, companies in the oil and gas sector are experimenting with contemporary technologies to increase their efficiency and revenue. By leveraging AI in oil and gas operations, corporations can design algorithms to guide drills on land mass and ocean floor. AI is also been used to increase the safety of gas stations for preventive maintenance. But there have been growing incidences of fires at the gas stations. For instance, a gas station in Arkansas had an accidental fire. Such events can prove to be deadly and destroy gas stations and the area surrounding it. However, intelligent cameras based on AI can access the risk area and lessen the extent of potential damage.

Modern synthetic monitoring technology offers a significant benefit. While APM and other traditional monitoring technologies can only monitor systems within an infrastructure, the modern synthetic monitoring technology can track the performance of SaaS from the user ’s lens, and almost always before there is a widespread impact. Thus, owing to the widespread adoption of cloud computing and applications, DevOps and fast IT adoption are expected to be the biggest growth areas for business technologies. According to Veritis, 50% of organizations have already implemented DevOps, as of 2018. With synthetic monitoring solutions, DevOps can simulate user behavior and proactively detect performance problems from around the world and around the clock, before they impact end users.  Additionally, negotiating and adhering to service level agreements (SLAs) are now more important than ever, with the increasing complexity of websites, applications, and software services. Synthetic monitoring enables companies to scale these SLAs, by simulating the actual environment. This allows the vendors and the website owners to abide by and manage the agreements, respectively.

Until recently, brominated chemicals had a major share in the European flame-retardant chemicals market. But environmental and health concerns are restraining the growth of demand for brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, paving way for the development of the non-halogenated flame-retardant chemicals market. Brominated and chlorinated flame retardants that are commonly used are semi-volatile chemical compounds and are not chemically bound to the product; rather, they are sprayed afterwards. Once sprayed, they do not disintegrate and settle in the dust present in the atmosphere. Furthermore, they have been observed in sources quite far fromhuman habitat, such as in whale tissues and other marine mammals. The toxicity of the brominated compound class is in the range of 2.5-200 mg/L (LD50), while that of the chlorinated compound class is in the range of 2.25-203 mg/L (LD50). LD50 is a type of measurement that indicates a value of LD50 for a substance in the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration. Brominated flame retardants have the potential to adversely affect endocrine functions and the central nervous and reproductive systems, while the halogenated flame retardants been found to inhibit enzymes involved in steroid hormone metabolism.

Non-invasive: According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, non-invasive refers to the tools which do not break the skin or physically enter the body. Drug delivery: According to BIS Research, drug delivery is the process of administering a pharmaceutical compound to accomplish a therapeutic effect. The most common modes of drug delivery are oral, topical, transmucosal, enteral, parental, and inhalation. Conventional drug delivery system: According to BIS Research, the conventional drug delivery system is the classical method for drug delivery into the body. Oral delivery, rectal delivery, subcutaneous delivery, buccal or sublingual delivery, intramuscular delivery, and intravenous delivery are the conventional drug delivery systems. Non-invasive drug delivery: According to BIS Research, it is the route of administration of a drug in which the systemic delivery of a drug is done non-invasively. According to BIS Research, non-invasive drug delivery refers to the devices in which the drug is delivered non-invasively or through a natural opening. The non-invasive drug delivery has various advantages over conventional drug delivery. These devices include digital respiratory devices used for inhalation of drugs such as smart inhalers, nebulizers, applications and sensors; closed-loop insulin pump (artificial pancreas), needle-free injector, and others.

The use of salicylic acid, a multifunctional ingredient that addresses many of the systemic causes of blemishes, is on the rise in the prevention of acne and related cosmetics. Salicylic acid’s usage is on the rise, with the researchers pointing out its development as an alternative to glycolic acid, marking it as a key growth factor. Cosmetics with acne-fighting proper ties are currently witnessing a boost because of the rise in adults suffering from acne. The Journal of American Academy of Dermatology notes that 54% of women over 25 have at least some facial acne. As a result, beauty brands are incorporating acnefighting proper ties into color cosmetic ranges, and acne-fighting foundations are offered by brands, like Clinque, Almay, Neutrogena, and Lancome. Salicylic acid has been found to exfoliate, degrease the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of pores, and it is increasingly being used as a staple ingredient in acne-related skincare products. This variety of application is seeing fur ther expansion, despite the belief that sufferers of recurring acne should avoid salicylic acid peels, due to the chemical reacting badly with the skin.
