Occupational Medicine is a concept of providing medical assistance and other healthcare services to the workers or employees focused on prevention, assessment, treatment and resolution of health conditions caused by the workplace environment. Occupational medicine protects workers from diseases and injuries as the employers regularly provide services such as health check-up, diagnosis and monitoring etc. as per the regulatory policies. It reduces the burden of healthcare expenditure and increase productivity as the workers are provided proper training and assistance for both prevention and treatment of any disease or injury. The occupational medicine specialists are trained to evaluate the origin of injury and illness so that treatment could be earlier and better. These specialists also provide training and assistance through education programmes on workplace hazards and confirming workplace compliance with regulatory rules and safety norms.

Unaffordability of site-built houses is a key concern across major geographies. The steadily increasing inflation rate has led to increase in price of raw materials and commodities, which makes construction of buildings costlier. The necessity of a shelter, demanded an alternative for the costly site-built homes.

Automotive shock absorbers are mechanical or hydraulic devices designed to absorb damp shock impulses of vehicles in the global market. Automotive shock absorbers provide not only driving comfort, but also perfect driving behavior and good controllability.

Magnetic tape storage is a system that enables the storage of digital data on a magnetic tape. It is based on one of the oldest concepts of digital information storage. Though tape storage technology has been displaced as a primary back-up storage medium, it still remains well-suited for the purpose of archiving digital data owing to its long-term durability, low cost and high data storage capacity. Robotic selection and appropriate cartridge loading can add latency in case the tape storage technology is a part of a library.

The human adaptive immune system protection is mediated by receptors on the surface of B and T cells known as B-cell receptor (BCR) and T-cell receptor (TCR), respectively. Developments in next generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the development of a powerful new technology known as immune repertoire sequencing for probing the complimentary determining region of these receptors. Immune repertoire sequencing has helped in profiling the antigen-specific information within lymphocytes and has become increasingly significant to understand the body's auto-defence mechanism against foreign agents.

Softgel capsules have been derived using gelatin as the major raw material, since years. Investments by manufacturers in research and development activities and advancements in technology have led to the development and usage of other sources for producing softgel capsules which are vegetarian in nature, and also provide seamless manufacturing procedures for softgel capsules.

The modern industrial processes in the various end-use sectors such as food and chemicals, are controlled by accurate process conditions and temperature is an important parameter in any process.

Viral Vectors are the tool which is commonly used to deliver genetic material into desired cells in both in-vivo and in-vitro conditions. These viral vectors are mainly of four types namely retroviruses, lentiviruses, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses. These viruses are largely being used in gene therapy, which is a technique that corrects defective genes responsible for the development of the certain genetic disease. The gene therapy for such disease involves a process of gene transfer to the desired cell with the help of viral vector. Currently, gene therapy has emerged as the potential treatment options for genetic and non-curable disease such as cancer and some viral infections. In gene therapy, patient's samples are extracted, transduced and modified with viral vectors and re-implanted in patients for the therapeutic applications.
