OpenStack controls functionalities within compute, storage, and networking resources through a data center. It is managed through web dashboards or API. The technology is suitable for hybrid infrastructure as it reduces the risk of lock-ins that are associated with proprietary platforms. OpenStack is becoming a strategic choice for many organizations and service providers that offer cloud-computing services on standard hardware. It is also ideal for companies deploying private clouds and large enterprises using cloud solutions across multiple continents.

Globally, land degradation as a result of nutrient deficiency in the soil is creating a high demand for fertilizers. During harvesting, nutrients such as nitrogen are removed from the soil by crops and the nutrient deficiency leads to decline in yields. Many farmers are also increasing the use of fertilizers to speed up the crop growth and increase their agricultural productivity. However, overuse of chemical fertilizers is resulting in soil pollution in the form of fertilizer deposition and also causing damage to water resources. Rising concerns related to soil pollution coupled with increasing focus on sustainable agricultural practices to restore soil health may hinder the growth of the global fertilizer market over the long run while helping the growth of biofertilizers.

Foundry robots are revolutionizing foundry operations due to their ability to enhance productivity with high speed and efficiency with minimal wastage. Metal casting, automobile, and semiconductor foundries are the three main industries in which foundry robots play a major role in operations. The metal cast foundry contributes the largest market share. Metal casts of ferrous and nonferrous metals are an indispensable part of almost all major industries like power, automotive, and construction to name a few.

Hard adventure sports include sporting activities that mostly involve a high degree of inherent risk. Hard adventure sports equipment includes equipment for trekking, climbing, and caving. The growing demand for hard adventure sports equipment is a direct result of the growing adventure tourism industry and the increasing participation rates in adventure sports. Presently, the popularity of hard adventure sports activities is gaining momentum across the globe. Vendors are focusing on building a strong distribution network to reach out to more customers in the fastest possible manner. As such, they are making their products available through distribution channels like sporting goods stores, specialty sports shops, and online retail either directly or through e-tailers.

Non-invasive fat reduction treatments are procedures that eliminate excess fat using non-surgical techniques. The main focus of these procedures is to focus on excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Non-invasive fat reduction devices are based on therapies such as ultrasound therapy, low-level laser therapy, and RF therapy. Non-invasive fat reduction procedures can be performed by doctors of all specialties, and are not the domain of plastic surgeons and dermatologists only. Non-invasive techniques are less complicated, less time consuming, cause fewer side-effects, and offer better results compared to invasive techniques. Therefore, there is an increased demand among consumers for non-invasive fat reduction devices.

The archery equipment market in Europe is driven by many growth factors - the positive influence of the ATA trade shows being one of the most important. The growing influence of media, especially movies and television broadcasting of archery games in the Olympics, is aiding in the market's growth in the region. The budding interest exhibited by the European population in archery as a sport, especially bowhunting, will also have a positive growth impact on the market over the coming years. The increasing use of carbon nanomaterials in the manufacture of archery equipment is an emerging trend, which, we expect, will propel the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.

GlobalData's Medical Devices sector report, "Thyroid Diagnostic Test - Medical Devices Pipeline Assessment, 2016" provides an overview of Thyroid Diagnostic Test currently in pipeline stage.

Microscope accessories are complementary parts of a microscope and function as an extension of the device to enhance its performance and accuracy. These accessories may range from simple adapters and filters to complex lenses and detectors. They differ vastly, depending on the type of microscopy device. An optical microscope usually requires accessories such as cover slides and objective lenses, whereas a scanning probe microscope will require more expensive accessories such as detectors, light sources, and cameras.

Modified atmosphere packaging provides an optimum atmosphere for increasing the shelf life and maintaining the quality of the food enclosed in it by modifying and altering the atmosphere inside the package. The modification of the atmosphere may be achieved either actively or passively. The active modification requires replacing the air with a controlled and desired mixture of gases, a mechanism known as gas flushing. Passive modification process involves respiration of food or metabolism of microorganisms associated with the food. The package structure normally incorporates a polymeric film, so that the permeation of gases through the film influences the composition of the atmosphere that develops. The rate of the permeation of gases depends on the nature of the film and the storage temperature.
