Deodorant is a substance that is applied to the body parts to prevent body odor that is majorly caused by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration in major body parts such as armpits, feet and other areas of the body. Antiperspirants are regarded as sub category of deodorant. Deodorants and antiperspirants contain ingredients that can control sweat and body odour safely and effectively coming from body parts. Antiperspirants not only affect the odor of the body, also reduces sweating by affecting sweat glands. Antiperspirants are majorly applied to the underarms of the body, where as deodorants can also be applied to the feet and other body parts as body spray. Deodorants and antiperspirants are mostly confused as similar product, but both differ in function and application. Antiperspirants control sweating and body odour in two different steps. Firstly it prevents sweat reaching the skin surface, and secondly it eliminates the bacteria that causes body odour as it contain antimicrobial agent as its major ingredient. On the other hand, deodorants only contain antimicrobial agents that prevent body odour coming from different part of the body, but are unable to control the flow of sweat. There is one similarity between both deodorants and antiperspirants that both contain fragrances which helps in keeping body odour away from the body.

Cancer is a disease caused due to abnormal growth of cells. It leads to uncontrolled multiplication of cells into other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through lymph and blood system. There are various types of cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and lymphoma. Globally, it is the leading cause of deaths. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. According to World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, approximately 8.2 million people died due to cancer. Similarly, according to American Cancer Society more than one million people suffer with cancer every year. Most cases of cancer are diagnosed and detected after a tumor is visible or felt. Tissue diagnostic plays crucial role for diagnosis, monitoring and management of cancer disease. Tissue diagnostics is also used for the diagnosis of next generation sequencing, decoding cancer molecular profiles and circulating tumor cells. Tissue diagnosis is done by fine needle aspiration cytology, open biopsy and core biopsy. The degree to which cancer has invaded the healthy tissue, stage and type of cancer can be determined with the help of biopsy. It helps to analyze the biopsy at molecular level to determine the course of treatment. Tissue diagnostics is used by pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, research laboratories and hospitals for the diagnosis of cancer. Some of the major tissue diagnostic tests are immunohistocheistry (IHC), hexatoxylin & eosin (H&E) and in situ hybridization (ISH).

Decorative laminates are laminated product generally used as furniture surface materials or wall paneling and it protect them from scratching, wear and tear and fire risk. Decorative laminates usually increase the life span of surfaces and give them an attractive finish. Low maintenance and low installation cost associated with decorative laminates gives an edge over wood flooring and act as a driving factor for decorative laminates market. In addition, decorative laminates are available in wide range of colors, designs and textures are other major factors driving the value of decorative laminates. Decorative laminates are basically of three types: high-pressure laminates, low-pressure laminates and edgebanding. High-pressure laminates are high-priced and more durable, whereas low-pressure laminates are low-cost. Edgebanding is generally used to smooth the exposed edges of surfaces include MDF and plywood. The basic raw materials required for manufacturing of decorative laminates include kraft paper, tissue paper, base paper, melamine, methanol, phenol and formaldehyde.

Disposable product is designed for a single use after which it is recycled or disposed as solid waste. Disposables are generally made from paper, plastic and polystyrene foam. Disposable can be used only once and helps in reducing food contamination and the spread of diseases. Disposables foodservice products made from plastics and foams include cups, plates, bowls, trays, food containers and cutlery. Plastics are widely used due to its lightweight properties and capacity to holds the temperature of hot or cold food and beverages. The most common types of plastics used for foodservice packaging is polystyrene. Disposable foodservice products made from paper and paperboard include cups, plates, bowls, napkins, carryout bags, trays, egg cartons, doilies and tray liners.

Lightweight materials are the material used to reduce the weight of the main product. Lightweight materials are majorly applied in the field of automotive, defense, energy and transportation. Lightweight materials are of great significance in the national defense where they help in the achievement of greater energy efficiency and contributing to energy independence of the nation. Lightweight materials are used to decrease the total energy consumption in the vehicle. It is simply more fuel efficient to manage a lighter vehicle, be it a car, truck, ship or plane than to manage a heavier vehicle. Recently automotive industry has started using lighter material to manufacture vehicle, so as to reduce fuel consumption. Efficiency is one of the key factors in the current fiscal scenario. Fuel efficiency may lead to fewer convoys and fewer losses. Also, lighter weight material helps the company to add additional features and resources within the vehicle. Lightweight material is not only used in automotive industry, other uses include wind turbines, medical technology, pressure vessels and alternative energy sources.

Gynecological cancers are characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These cancers originate in the female reproductive organs such as uterus, cervix, ovaries, vagina and vulva. Several factors are responsible for the occurrence of these cancers. It includes various classes of cancer originating genes, known as oncogenes, which promotes the abnormal growth of cells. The abnormal function of these genes regulates through aging, smoking and environmental influences. In addition, infertility, obesity, mutations, early start of menstruation and late start of menopause also causes gynecological cancers. Gynecological cancers are also originated by some viruses. For instance, almost all cervical cancers and vaginal and vulva cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). These gynecological cancers are treated by medication therapies, radiation therapy, surgeries and chemotherapy. Treatments of these cancers are depends upon the type and different stages of cancers.
