For example, it is claimed that the world's oldest known engineered roadway, the Sweet Track constructed in England around 3800 BC, employed prefabricated timber sections brought to the site rather than assembled on-site.
The study analyzed data from nearly 10,000 people who were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial, looking into the impact of low-dose aspirin on reducing heart disease risk in Australian and ...
