Article Abstract

High-story residential structures and off-site prefabrication have been dominant choices in the construction industry. There is a substantial quantity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by the construction industry. In fact, the construction industry is responsible for 30 percent of all GHG emissions. In this study, we analyse the differences between the conventional technique of building and the off-site prefabricating construction method. First, we evaluate the emissions emitted from key processes during the off-site prefabricating construction. In addition, we analyse the qualitative and quantitative differences between two prefabrication structural systems, namely concrete and steel, which are the two most common structural systems utilised in residential construction projects in China. We examine and analyse four different case studies in order to exemplify the proposed methodology and offer managerial insights.

Epinephelus tukula is an economically important aquaculture animal, and a major parent in grouper crossbreeding. To better preserve and exploit E. tukula germplasm resources, a core collection (containing 34 individuals derived from 10 genetic groups) was first constructed based on phenotypic growth traits and whole-genome resequencing (WGS) data.

Flow chemistry technology has demonstrated significant potential in advancing the green transformation of the chemical industry while enhancing inherent process safety. Safety, cost-effectiveness, and operational efficiency serve as pivotal drivers for advancing flow chemistry in nitration processes. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the continuous-flow nitration technology - a process historically recognized as one of the most hazardous industrial operations - focusing on its technological advancements in process design, reaction kinetics characterization, and practical implementation over the past decade.

Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause an immune-mediated disease that is fatal to felines, but there is a lack of clinically effective protection conferred by vaccines. The methyltransferase (MTase) activity of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins nsp14 and nsp16 affects virulence, but there are no studies on the effect of nsp14 and nsp16 mutations affecting enzyme activity on the virulence of FIPV. In this study, we successfully rescued two mutant strains based on the previous infectious clone QS-79, named FIPV QS-79 dnsp14 and dnsp16, by mutating the MTase active sites of nsp14 (N415) and nsp16 (D129).

Excessive fossil fuel combustion has accelerated renewable energy development, with hydrogen energy emerging as a promising alternative due to its high energy density and environmental compatibility. Photocatalytic hydrogen production through solar energy conversion represents a viable approach for sustainable development. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant research interest owing to their structural tunability, well-defined catalytic sites, and post-synthetic modification capabilities.

Concrete production significantly contributes to CO emissions and depletion of natural resources, leading to substantial environmental concerns. The integration of polymers into concrete has emerged as a promising innovative solution aimed at overcoming inherent limitations of traditional concrete, including brittleness, susceptibility to tracking, environmental degradation, and substantial ecological impacts. This systematic review thoroughly investigates the properties, sustainability implications, and practical challenges associated with polymer-based concrete (PBC), particularly focusing on polymer concrete composites (PCC) and polymer-modified concrete (PMC) detailing their composition, mechanical behavior, and durability.
