  The growth of data in the 21st century has become inexorable. With data being touted as the new oil, its storage is also becoming increasingly popular in this new era. Alongside storage, the computation and networking of data are also opening up new possibilities. Organizations are utilizing Big Data to gain agility, identify loopholes, maximize their efficiency, and transform businesses. The digital world that is rapidly gaining momentum has shown increased demand for online applications, data transfer, and data storage, among others. Several banks, private and public organizations, and universities have now started to own large data centers that are connected to secure networks. The data centers available today have enormous computational power, processing capability, and storage facility. However, with evolving customer needs, the need for insight through the computation of complex data within a short period of time has led to new technologies being adopted across data centers...

  A blockchain is known as a distributed database that maintains all kinds of records. All transactions are stored in ‘blocks’ and once a block is completed, a new block is formed. The blocks are added linear and chronological order in a blockchain. These blocks are chained together through cryptography, thus making it nearly impossible for any individual to tamper with them without being detected. The blockchain technology works on certain principals and there are certain methods that are being followed to verify the authenticity of each transaction without involving any third party in it. These methods include Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Proof of Authority (PoA). In the Proof of work method the quantity of work done by the miner determines the probability of mining a block. Therefore, a vast amount of electricity and computer data is used by the miners for finding a solution. However, there are several concerns related to the Proof of Work mechanism. One of...

  RNA sequencing is a genomic approach for the identification and quantification analysis of RNA molecules with the ultimate aim of studying cellular responses from a biological sample. The advent of RNA sequencing had fueled several innovations in the medical sector, by facilitating other techniques (that utilize RNA sequencing) such as single nucleotide polymorphisms identification, RNA editing, transcriptional profiling and differential gene expression analysis. RNA sequencing offers massive diagnostic utility in terms of rare diseases, which ranges from rare muscular disorders to mitochondrial diseases such as mitochondrial depletion syndrome, Leigh’s syndrome, and Kearns-Sayre syndrome, among others. RNA sequencing is an emerging technique to assess progression of different rare diseases. It aids medical professionals to understand various genes linked with specific rare diseases, thereby offering specific treatment for patients. The rise in the discovery of genes associat...

  The 5G technology has been acting as a boon for various applications, such as 5G smartphones, IoT & M2M devices, and connected vehicles. The key hardware requirement for these 5G applications is 5G supporting antenna systems. The advanced antenna systems (AAS) enable the concept of remote radio head (RRH) by integrating the antenna and meeting 5G challenges of enhanced capacities by using localized beams and space diversity via massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) technology. These mMIMO antennas are used in 5G base stations, connected vehicles, IoT devices, and smartphones. Various unicorn companies of the 5G ecosystem are working on conducting research and development for 5G-enabled antennas for catering to the growing demand for 5G infrastructure across the globe. Some of the key market players are Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Nokia Corporation, and Ericsson. These companies' dominance differs from region to region, depending on t...

  The increasing application areas for new sensors in an electric vehicle is also led by an increase in EV safety regulations, to ensure that internal electrical systems and battery systems are safe from any over-usage. The application of such sensors increases the safety of the vehicles, which in turn, can increase the EV sales. Moreover, huge investments in the form of subsidies and infrastructure development by government sand federal agencies to promote EVs to cut down carbon dioxide emission are further propelling the growth of EV sales. On the basis of applications of EVs, the EV sensor market is majorly segmented in two segments: passenger vehicle sand commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles considered for this report consists of light electric vehicles, heavy buses, and heavy trucks. Production and sales of passenger electric vehicles are anticipated to be higher than that of commercial electric vehicles, as more users are rapidly adopting EVs and exchanging their IC eng...

The evolution of the automobile industry can be attributed to the ever-changing buyer’s preferences, escalated focus on passenger safety, environmental concerns, and stringent government rules and regulation, aiming for minimal road accidents. In the past few years, vehicles have witnessed rapid technological advancements regarding passenger safety, communication capabilities, and driving experience, owing to the increase in focus from automakers and consumers to enhance safety and comfort in the vehicles. These goals of automakers are profoundly supported by numerous federal authorities such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), European Commission (EC), and Departments of Transportation (DoT) in numerous regions. This is expected to advance vehicle safety on public roads with the integration of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in automobiles. The products segment of the automotive V2Xmarket is categorized into DSRC-basedautomotiveV2X communication a...

  According to the World Health Organization, there is a great disparity in the life expectancy rate in low-income countries than in high-income countries, such as Australia, Canada, U.S., and U.K., among others. In 2016, life expectancy was 18.1 years lower in low-income countries (62.7 years) than in high-income countries (80.8 years). In low-income countries, on an average, fewer than 3 out of 5 newborns are expected to reach 70 years, and more than one-third of total deaths are among children younger than 15 years. These premature deaths are mainly due to lower respiratory infections, gastro-intestinal infections, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), malaria, and premature birth complications. Among the various prevailing chronic diseases, cancer is the second-leading cause of deaths after cardiovascular disorders, globally, which accounts for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Other than cancer, infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and HP...
