Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical technology that uses radar pulses to image beneath the surface of the soil. It is a method of surveying the subsurface for concrete, metal, pipes, asphalt, and cables that is non-intrusive.

New York, July 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Ground Penetrating Radar Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component, By Offering, By Type, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06289250/?utm_source=GNW This non-destructive technology uses electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the microwave frequency range (UHF/VHF frequencies) of the radio spectrum to identify reflected signals from subterranean structures. The effective depth range of GPR inquiry may be limited by the ground’s electrical conductivity, the transmitted center frequency, and the radiated power. Electrical conductivity increases reduce the injected electromagnetic wave, reducing penetration depth. Higher frequencies do not permeate as far as lower frequencies due to frequency-dependent attenuation mechanisms. Higher frequencies, on the other hand, may provide better resolution. As a result, penetration and resolution are always trade-offs when it comes to the operating frequency. At low GPR frequencies, optimal depth of subsurface penetration is reached in ice, where the density can reach multiple thousand meters. Dry sandy soils and huge dry materials like limestone, granite, and concrete are resistive instead of conductive, and penetration depths of up to 15 meters are possible. Although, penetration can be as small as a few centimeters in moist or clay-rich soils, as well as in materials with high electrical conductivity. GPR has numerous uses in various fields. It is utilized to examine soils, bedrock, groundwater, and ice in the Earth sciences. It can help users uncover diamonds and gold nuggets in alluvial gravel beds by locating natural traps in submerged stream beds that have the capacity to collect larger particles. Nondestructive testing (NDT) of structures and pavements, finding buried structures and utility lines, and researching soils and bedrock are all examples of engineering applications. GPR is used to designate landfills, pollution plumes, and other remediation sites in environmental cleanup, and it is also used to map archaeological features and graves in archaeology. In law enforcement, GPR is used to locate hidden cemeteries and buried evidence. Mine detection, unexploded ordnance detection, and tunnel detection are all military applications. COVID-19 Impact The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the electronics and semiconductor industries. Due to a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, business and manufacturing facilities in several nations have been closed. Additionally, the partial or total lockdown has affected the complete supply chain, making it difficult for manufacturers to reach their clients. The pandemic of COVID-19 is creating trouble on society and the overall economy. The impact of this pandemic is expanding by the day, and it is harming overall business.

The super investor still sees opportunities ahead.

Yahoo Finance Live's Seana Smith takes a look at Micron's stock following a slump in Q4 revenue guidance.

What to watch in markets on Thursday, June 30, 2022.

The current market conditions – the NASDAQ is down 29% year-to-date, and the S&P 500 is down 21% – offer bargain hunters a target-rich environment. Plenty of sound stocks have seen their prices decline, pulled down by the general market headwinds and the overall stock trend, to levels that have left them too cheap to ignore. At this level, investors can find the benefits of cheap stocks, which offer both learning opportunities and strong upside potential. However, in evaluating stocks to buy, it

The Fed's favored inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, is starting to show a peak. That could possibly give the central bank leeway to move less aggressively on interest rates.

See who joins META and GOOGL on this screen of Warren Buffett stocks based on the investing strategy of Berkshire Hathaway's CEO.

The ailing market bounced off lows but still fell solidly. Micron gave grim guidance. Tesla EV rivals report June sales Friday.

The security software company is nearing GAAP profitability, Morgan Stanley predicts. Inclusion in the S&P 500 could follow.

Concerns about a possible U.S. recession are prompting some fund managers to rotate back into the big tech and growth winners of the last decade in the hope that they can better weather an economic storm. Many stalwarts like Microsoft Corp, Apple and Google-parent Alphabet Inc have suffered declines on par with or exceeding those in broader stock indexes this year, as jumbo rate hikes delivered by an inflation-fighting Federal Reserve hit the tech and growth names that led markets in previous years. Since growth companies tend to be less affected by the broader economy’s performance, however, some investors believe the category’s most profitable names may outperform the rest of the market if the Fed’s hawkish policy stance drags the U.S. into recession.

Few investors have a nose for making money quite like billionaire Warren Buffett. Since becoming CEO of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) in 1965, the Oracle of Omaha, as he's come to be known, has created more than $610 billion in value for shareholders and delivered an aggregate return on his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) of 3,641,613%, through Dec. 31, 2021. As we push into the second half of what's been an exceptionally volatile and challenging year for investors, several Berkshire Hathaway holdings stand out as amazing values.

Shares of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) were all falling this morning after the Commerce Department reported its latest inflation figures, which showed inflation remains persistently high. The report said that the core personal consumption expenditures index rose 4.7% in May, only slightly less than expected and still a four-decade high. Technology investors have been watching inflation figures very closely, and with today's report, Amazon plunged 3.5%, Apple fell 2.4%, and Nvidia dropped 2.2%.

A report says retailer Kohl's has terminated talks with Franchise Group, owner of The Vitamin Shoppe.

A stock split is a way for a publicly traded company to alter its share price and outstanding share count without affecting its market cap or operating performance. Enacting a forward stock split is a way companies can make their shares more nominally affordable for retail investors who might not have access to fractional-share investing. More importantly, stock splits are viewed as a positive sign by Wall Street and investors.

Take advantage of a stock market that's now focused on short-term catalysts, not long-term problems.
