Peptide or oligonucleic acid molecules that have the capacity to bind with specific target molecules are referred to as aptamers. Aptamers are either naturally existent in riboswitches or are obtained through selection from a sequence pool. These molecules can be classified into two categories based namely DNA (De-Oxy Ribonucleic Acid) or RNA (Ribo-Nucleic Acid) or XNA (Xeno Nucleic Acid) aptamers and peptide aptamers.

The security market has been witnessing growth, fueled by increasing urbanization and security consideration. Video surveillance is an inherent component of security, and the ecosystem comprises cameras, hardware, software, storage and services. These systems play a significant role in identifying unlawful activities and offer public safety besides aiding law enforcement activities. Progressive advancement in technology has resulted in a transition from analog cameras to digital integrated systems with high image resolution capabilities.

Power generation is carried out by the means of conventional/non-renewable and renewable sources of energy. While fossil fuels dominated global energy generation capacity, alternative power sources have been witnessing growing adoption over the past few years. Increasing demand for electricity has fueled power generation activities. Conventional power sources comprise fossil fuels and nuclear power, while renewable sources of energy include traditional biomass, hydropower, biofuels, solar, wind and geothermal among others.
