Benchmarking Potential Construction Waste Streams and Their Climate Impact: Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Targets for Strategic Planning of Construction Processes

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how construction waste intensity affects greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), analyzing data from 345 buildings constructed between 2007 and 2025. Using material waste rates (MWR) from previous cases, it predicts climate impacts based on typical material compositions.

Time-course RNAseq data of murine AB1 mesothelioma and Renca renal cancer following immune checkpoint therapy

Scientific Data
Time-critical transcriptional events in the immune microenvironment are important for response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), yet these events are difficult to characterise and remain incompletely understood.

Live-cell imaging of macrophage phagocytosis of asbestos fibers under fluorescence microscopy

Genes and Environment, 2019
Background Frustrated phagocytosis occurs when an asbestos fiber > 10 μm in length is engulfed imperfectly by a macrophage, and it is believed to be associated with chromosomal instability.

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Physical Drivers of Chromosome Instability and Inflammatory Responses

Small Structures, EarlyView.
This article highlights the fibrous morphology of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a key factor in their genotoxicity. Fibers physically interfere in cell division, generating binucleated cells and micronuclei, both of which are precursors of carcinogenesis.

Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).
