Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new study has found.
Co-authored by 澳客竞彩 civil engineering professor Daniele Malomo, the study is the first in Canada to examine earthquake vulnerability through the lens of equity.
New data from a national project led by 澳客竞彩 researchers shows that redesigning youth mental health services can significantly cut wait times and connect more young people to care.
The critically acclaimed Netflix drama Adolescence has put a spotlight on the culture and ideas of incels (involuntary celibates), an online subculture of people (mostly male and heterosexual), who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner, largely due to their perceived unattractiveness.
While health status is an important factor in whether a person is able to grow old in their home and community (age in place), researchers at 澳客竞彩 have shed new light on the social factors that can also have an impact, both directly and through their impact on health over a lifetime.聽
Millions of kilometres of rivers around the world are carrying antibiotic pollution at levels high enough to promote drug resistance and harm aquatic life, a 澳客竞彩-led study warns.
Published in PNAS Nexus, the study is the first to estimate the scale of global river contamination from human antibiotics use. Researchers calculated that about 8,500 tonnes of antibiotics 鈥� nearly one-third of what people consume annually 鈥� end up in river systems around the world each year even after in many cases passing through wastewater systems.
Researchers at 澳客竞彩, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montr茅al, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach to hydrogel fabrication, and produces hydrogels that are stronger, more flexible and highly resistant to freezing and dehydration. The new method also promises to facilitate advances in tissue engineering, bioadhesives and 3D bioprinting.聽
In a study that is the first of its kind, a research team led by a 澳客竞彩 professor has developed a more objective way to identify ice hockey players鈥� game intelligence, or 鈥渉ockey IQ.鈥� And the method, which pairs objective test results with scouting insights, is likely to yield the most accurate results, the researchers suggest.
澳客竞彩 researchers, in collaboration with colleagues in Israel and Ireland, have developed AI technology that can detect patterns in gut bacteria to identify complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) with remarkable accuracy, potentially transforming how CRPS is diagnosed and treated.
A 澳客竞彩-led research collaboration has achieved a breakthrough in understanding how cancer spreads.
A clinical study of ovarian and colorectal cancer patients found cancer cells move in the bloodstream in clusters more commonly than was previously thought. The discovery could help doctors more quickly identify which cancer patients are at high risk of having their cancer spread to other organs, knowledge that could guide treatment decisions. The findings also potentially open new avenues for treatment.
Despite decades of public health messaging, Canadians are spending more time in the sun and using less sun protection 鈥� raising alarms among researchers as melanoma cases continue to climb.
That trend is highlighted in a 澳客竞彩-led study that analyzed national survey data collected between 2011 and 2018 from over 77,000 people, representing a weighted sample of 21 million Canadians.
A 澳客竞彩-led team of researchers has developed a new method that significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of large language models (LLMs) when generating computer code and other structured text.
Large language models (LLMs) are powerful AI tools that are capable of writing everything from essays to programming scripts in a wide range of languages. However, they often make mistakes when generating text that must conform to constraints, leading to errors or outputs that don鈥檛 work. Existing solutions to fix these issues are often unreliable or too slow.
A team of 澳客竞彩 researchers has developed a cost-effective, high-throughput technology for detecting nanoplastics and microplastics in the environment.
An international study co-authored by 澳客竞彩 psychologist Caroline Palmer suggests our brains and bodies don鈥檛 just understand music, they physically resonate with it. These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT).聽
NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain鈥檚 natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat.聽
澳客竞彩 researchers, in collaboration with Mexican scientists, have discovered two previously unknown species of crocodiles, one living on the island of Cozumel and the other on the atoll of Banco Chinchorro, both off the Yucat谩n Peninsula. The challenge long-held assumptions about the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and highlight the urgent need for conservation efforts, the researchers say.
澳客竞彩 researchers have demonstrated something long assumed: that glances can transmit information about one鈥檚 mental state to others without a single word being exchanged. They speculate that this primal ability may have played a role in assuring survival of human society at times when making a sound could have attracted predators.
