Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a remarkable method that creates sustainable cementitious binding material for use in geotechnical/structural engineering and environmental engineering. This is due to the increasing demand for alternative environmentally friendly technologies and materials that result in minimal or zero carbon footprint. In contrast to the previously published literature, through bibliometric analysis, this review paper focuses on the current prospects and future research trends of MICP technology via the Scopus database and VOSviewer analysis.

Method: Cross-sectional analysis of all patients registered with the Singapore Cancer Registry who had died in the study period (N=52120). Places of death were grouped as homes, in-patient hospices, hospitals and others.
Objectives: To study the prevalence of dementia in Singapore among Chinese, Malays, and Indians.
Design: A two-phase, cross-sectional study of randomly selected population from central Singapore with disproportionate race stratification.
Setting: Community-based study.
Objectives: To assess the utility of asking for presence of progressive forgetfulness (PF) prior to administering the Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) when screening for dementia in the community-dwelling elderly Chinese.
Methods: This was a two-phased community-based survey of elderly subjects (>or=50 yrs). In phase one, subjects were asked for PF and administered the AMT.
Background And Purpose: Stroke prevalence data among mixed Asian populations are lacking. Prevalence rates of stroke were studied among Singaporeans aged > or =50 years of Chinese, Malay, and Indian origin.
Methods: Study participants were selected by disproportionate stratified random sampling by race.
