CONCEPT, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CARDIOVASCULAR GENE-CENTRIC 50 K SNP ARRAY FOR LARGE-SCALE GENOMIC ASSOCIATION STUDIES.

Concept, design and implementation of a cardiovascular gene-centric 50 k SNP array for large-scale genomic association studies.

A wealth of genetic associations for cardiovascular and metabolic phenotypes in humans has been accumulating over the last decade, in particular a large number of loci derived from tenga flip orb recent genome wide association studies (GWAS).True complex disease-associated loci often exert modest effects, so their delineation currently requires int

Interception performance of intake structures with a flow diversion barrier under supercritical flow conditions

Intake structures are commonly used in drainage systems to redirect surface rainfall runoff into underground tunnels.The Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel (HKWDT) system is designed to capture stormwater from steep upland catchments during periods of heavy rainfall, concurrently maintaining a minimal environmental flow downstream during dry weather.Ho
