With concern about global warming increasing with each passing day, a primary focus of governments and the automotive industry has shifted from improving fuel economy to reducing emissions. Fuel economy has become secondary. Powertrain electrification initiatives have intensified, while efforts to improve in-cylinder process and exhaust aftertreatm...

In 2003, the first human genome sequence was produced, with a production cost between $500 million and $1 billion. However, since 2008, when next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches entered the research setting, there has been a significant decline in sequencing costs. These approaches allow either the whole genome (via whole-genome sequencing [...

Quantum technology, which enables the manipulation of atoms and sub-atomic particles, will allow for a new class of ultra-sensitive devices with key potential to profoundly impact and disrupt significant applications in areas such as defense, aerospace, industrial, commercial, infrastructure, transportation and logistics markets. The ability to con...

Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a software approach to managing and controlling the underlying enterprise network technologies to optimize costs and application performance. SD-WAN delivers the flexible, scalable, high-performance, and intelligent networks that enterprises need to support their complex configurations, which include c...

This research covers alternative fuels and the various technologies that can play a role in their survival in the passenger vehicles market in North America. It examines what powertrain technologies are dominant in the alternative fuel space, propelling the overall growth of the market in the region. This study also contains OEM-level understanding...

The Western and Eastern European Custom Procedure Trays and Packs (CPTP) market is growing rapidly. CPTPs offer off-the-shelf convenience for hospitals, reduce costs, and lead to more-efficient operating rooms with faster turnaround times. The enforcement of stricter infection control measures has also greatly aided the adoption of CPTPs, as clinic...

The growth prospects of the economies in emerging Asia-Pacific are expected to be affected significantly by the uncertainties arising from the economic slowdown of major Asian superpowers such as China and Japan, and the Eurozone. However, certain positive factors such as declining oil prices, a rebounding US economy, with US being a key exports m...

Uneven recovery continues in Eastern Europe. Domestic demand is expected to drive growth in major countries in 2015, while weaker Euro area recovery, indecisive policies, and market instability in economies such as Poland, Turkey, and Ukraine remain an area of concern. Improved exports and household consumption are expected to support the economic ...

North America is expected to remain fairly stable in 2015 due to improved domestic demand and business confidence. The US economy is expected to grow by 3.1% in 2015, up from 2.4% in 2014, driven by rising incomes, long-standing repressed demand, a strengthening housing sector, and lower oil prices. For Canada, the outlook has been scaled back to 1...
