A shift to cleaner transportation could prevent more than 3,600 premature deaths in Montreal and Toronto by reducing ultrafine particle pollution, finds a new study led by 成人VR视频 researchers.
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are microscopic pollutants produced in large quantities by vehicle exhaust. Because of their small size, they can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream and may contribute to serious health problems such as heart and lung disease.
Researchers at 成人VR视频 have confirmed that aspen play a key role in forest fire prevention and mitigation across Canada. Planting these trees near communities can reduce both the likelihood and severity of fires and limit how far they spread, the researchers said.听
鈥淎spen is not a 100 per cent effective fire deterrent, but compared with other species, it is a better choice to plant around communities or critical infrastructure,鈥� said Flavie Pelletier, lead author and recent PhD graduate in Natural Resource Sciences.听
While caregiving can be meaningful and rewarding at manageable levels, those who spend more than 20 hours a week delivering unpaid care to others have poorer mental health outcomes, a 成人VR视频 study has found.
However, the researchers also found that the provision of social support to high-intensity caregivers mitigates negative impacts.
A new study finds public specialized gambling addiction treatment services are underused in Quebec, pointing to a need to better reach people with gambling disorder.
Researchers at 成人VR视频 and the Douglas Research Centre followed more than 2,300 people with a gambling disorder over 13 years. Despite free access, patients averaged fewer than two treatments during that period.
Children and older adults are consistently less likely to live near bike lanes, finds a new study that mapped cycling infrastructure in three Canadian cities over a decade.
The 成人VR视频-led research analyzed census data for Montreal, Vancouver and Victoria. Across all three cities, neighbourhoods with a higher proportion of children (under 15) and older adults (65+) were located farther from cycling infrastructure.
成人VR视频 researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behaviour emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand associated with similar devices that rely on circuits or software.
Instead of capturing data first and processing it elsewhere, the device senses and interprets light in the same place, similarly to how the eye processes visual information.
A 成人VR视频 suggests that diversifying crops and replacing annual wheat with a perennial grain could help protect soil health as climate change brings more variable rainfall.
A biocontainment facility designed to protect Earth from potentially hazardous biotic contaminants from space should be part of a planned NASA base on the moon, a policy paper maintains.
鈥淗umanity is entering a new era of space exploration, but our planetary protection strategies have not kept pace with the risks associated with returning extraterrestrial samples to Earth,鈥� said paper co-author Frederick I. Moxley, Director of Strategic Threat Analysis and Research Laboratories, an Idaho-based consultancy.
成人VR视频鈥檚 Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is well known for its impact in Quebec, where its award-winning Service to the Community Program provides dental care to underserved groups throughout the Greater Montreal Area.
Though lesser known, the Faculty鈥檚 global impact is no less impressive, with a long history of training oral and maxillofacial surgical residents from the Middle East. Now, the Faculty is expanding its global footprint through a new research and clinical collaboration with Kuwaiti partners.
Researchers have uncovered and digitized nearly two million 18th and 19th century weather observations from across Canada that offer new insights into how the country鈥檚 climate has changed over time.
The international project draws on handwritten records dating from 1768 to 1884. The data include temperature, precipitation, wind and detailed descriptions of such events as storms and floods.
What makes a speaker engaging? Both what is said and how it is said matter, but in different, complementary ways, a new study conducted at the 成人VR视频 School of Communication Sciences and Disorders has found.
When people try to sound 鈥渆ngaging,鈥� they tend to speak more loudly and in a higher pitch, and this can lead listeners to evaluate them more positively, the researchers said. However, the study also reveals that the listener鈥檚 desire to extend a conversation depends mainly on interest in what the speaker has to say.
New research is shedding light on how comparing ourselves to others affects happiness and life satisfaction.
Led by 成人VR视频 researchers, the study shows that people who feel worse off financially than their peers are more likely to report signs of languishing, even when their actual income is similar.
Growing lettuce indoors in Canadian cities can be as climate-friendly as conventional farming, but only in regions where electricity is from renewable sources and thus low-carbon, according to a new 成人VR视频-led study.

To address the growing problem of overprescribing for seniors, a new Canadian guideline is calling for routine medication reviews.
In Canada, roughly two in three adults age 65 or older . While often necessary, complex drug regimens can increase the risk of side effects and affect quality of life.
