With the growing number of incidents/accidents in industries such as oil & gas and mining, the focus on industrial safety measures has also increased worldwide. For instance, in Sweden, industrial safety has developed within a framework of legislation for worker protection and compensation, but also to a large extent through self-regulation between the parties in the labor market. In most Western countries, a rudimentary labor legislation system for the reduction of working hours, factory inspection, and industrial injury insurance was developed around the turn of the 20th century. The new industrial safety policy should be carried out, and the existing safety regulations of industries should appear under its purview. Thus, the government of Scandinavia is taking the initiative in implementing policies, considering the safety of the workers. In order to reduce fire risk, businesses deploy fixtures with consent ratings of Class 1 Division 1 (C1D1) and Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) insid...

Industrial heat pumps are a type of active heat-recovery equipment. Industrial heat pumps are an effective and cost-efficient solution for the generation of heat and cold. They uplift the temperature by absorbing thermal energy from an existing low-temperature heat source and circulating it to a warmer space. Industrial heat pumps primarily source heat from the geothermal energy accumulated in the ground, surrounding air, water, or waste heat from industrial processes. The pump then amplifies and passes on the heat to where it is required. Water-based heat pump systems are among the most effective, environmentally friendly systems accessible for heating and cooling buildings. Air heat pumps are a sustainable alternative to conventional ones as they do not use fossil fuels to produce heat. Geothermal heat pumps improve efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of heating and cooling systems in the industrial sector. Growing focus on low carbon emissions to lower environmental polluti...

Immunoglobulins are the antibodies produced naturally by the body’s immune system, which help fight infection and disease. The deficiency of immunoglobulin requires the external administration of immunoglobulin and is known as immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT). IgRT can be given intravenously and subcutaneously. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) are selected based on the indication and severity. IVIg is manufactured from human plasma. It contains antibodies and is used in the treatment of a growing number of immunologic, hematologic, and neurologic illnesses. Key factors that are driving the growth of the North American intravenous immunoglobulin market are the increasing prevalence of immunodeficiency diseases and the increasing geriatric population drives the growth of the intravenous immunoglobulin market. However, the market is likely to get impacted by the adverse effects of immunoglobulin therapy during the forecast period. North Am...

Air flow sensors are used to determine the volume or mass of flow of air in a channel. There are two categories of airflow sensors. They are mass air flow sensors and volume air flow sensors. Air flow sensors are easy to install and gauge the entire pressure, the static pressure of the airflow and the air velocity. Airflow sensors find applications in an extensive range of industrial systems. In automotive vehicles, airflow sensors are crucial for maintaining optimal fuel efficiency and emission levels and help the engine control unit adjust fuel injection to ensure efficient combustion. HVAC systems also use these sensors to monitor and regulate air intake.

Fish can be immunized by immersion in vaccine for a short period of time. They can be immunized by injection, intramuscularly or intraperitoneally, and orally by mixing vaccines with feed either by top dressing or by incorporating into feed as an ingredient. Fish also respond to vaccine the same way as other animals do, but since fish are cold-blooded animals, the response to vaccine depends largely on the water temperature. During the past 20 years fish vaccines have become an established, proven, and cost-effective method of controlling certain infectious diseases in aquaculture worldwide. Fish vaccines can significantly reduce specific disease-related losses resulting in a reduction of antibiotics use. Fish vaccines are advantageous over antibiotics because they are natural biological materials that leave no residue in the product or environment, and therefore will not induce a resistant strain of the disease organism. Fish vaccines are licensed by the federal government and closely...
