TL;DR: This Review comprehensively assess the benefits and limitations of GWAS in human populations and discusses the relevance of performing more GWAS, with a focus on the cardiometabolic field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage mixing approach (TSMA) is proposed to improve the compressive strength for recycled aggregate concrete and hence lower its strength variability, which can fill up some pores and cracks, resulting in a denser concrete, an improved interfacial zone around recycled aggregate and thus a higher strength when compared with the traditional mixing approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature on the production and utilisation of recycled aggregate in concrete, concrete pavements, roadway construction, and other civil engineering works and some discussion on the savings on CO2 emissions have been included.

TL;DR: A new approach to control the corrosion rate is adopted by coating a controllable polymeric membrane fabricated by polycaprolactone and dichloromethane onto magnesium alloys, in which the pore size was controlled during the manufacturing process.

TL;DR: In this article, a feasibility analysis of prefabrication in construction activities is provided based on a questionnaire survey and a financial analysis is also investigated by a local case study, which shows that wastage generation can be reduced by up to 100% after adopting prefabrics, in which up to 84.7% can be saved.
