If you believe a medical treatment was developed specifically for you, it may be more effective, especially if you want to be seen as unique, according to .
In two studies, researchers in the Department of Psychology found that participants who thought a medical device that was really a placebo was personalized to their genetic makeup and physiology reported feeling less pain when using it, compared to those who believed it was a standard treatment.
Scientists have long been captivated by the possibility of discovering evidence for extraterrestrial life in the universe. While many of the world鈥檚 largest telescopes are pointed toward distant galaxies and star systems, however, some think there鈥檚 a strong possibility that life could be detected much closer to home.
Biological invasions are a major threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being, resulting in ecosystem degradation and causing economic costs in the multi-trillions of euros globally. A led by 成人VR视频 sheds light on the stark economic cost resulting from biological invasions in the European Union (EU).
From an artist鈥檚 attempt to tame troubled sleep with AI, to sounds and objects as artifacts of other people鈥檚 dream, to a radio station that transforms the dread of insomnia into curiosity and collective listening, the exhibition by the research collective asks: how does sleep bring us together?
If you鈥檙e sleep deprived, you will likely have a harder time remembering things than if you鈥檙e well-rested. But if you have good cardiorespiratory fitness, your memory may be less affected by the effects of sleep deprivation than others, according to published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
Changes to the flow of the Labrador Current along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador to Nova Scotia are leading to sudden warmings or drops in the oxygen levels of the waters in several regions including the St. Lawrence Gulf and Estuary. This change has dire consequences for marine ecosystems and fisheries. To better predict what could happen in the future, researchers from 成人VR视频 set out to answer the question: what controls the pathway of the Labrador Current?
成人VR视频 researchers are leading an international team whose goal is to create a framework to help governments in the U.S. and around the world assess and prioritize remediation strategies for orphaned oil and gas wells.
Everyone has 24 hours per day. Across the global population of 8 billion people this adds up to approximately 190 billion human hours per day. How those hours are spent determines the impacts we have on our surroundings as well as how we experience life. To find out how people around the world use their time, a research team led by 成人VR视频 has gathered and analyzed information about both economic and non-economic activities in order to estimate, for the first time, what a day in the life of the world looks like.
More people rely on the Internet to work, play, shop, and connect with others, growing the demand for global data traffic by 40% every year. To keep pace with the drive for more bandwidth, 成人VR视频 Professor and Canada Research Chair David V. Plant and his team are working on pushing the speed limits of the Internet by making data transmission quicker, more efficient, and greener.
Today 成人VR视频, in partnership with Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Trois-Rivi猫res (UQTR) and the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) announced the launch of 鈥�,鈥� this fall in Montreal.
Infectious diseases and respiratory infections in particular are a leading cause of global mortality. As such, there is an urgent need for rapid, large-scale diagnostic tools that can detect these diseases early, something which doesn鈥檛 currently exist. To address these problems, 成人VR视频 Professor of Bioengineering Sara Mahshid鈥檚 lab has developed (QolorEX) that can deliver test results in just 13 minutes.
The first human genome, which has served as the reference until now, was released approximately 20 years ago. It was a landmark accomplishment that had a huge impact on biomedical research and changed the way scientists study human biology. But it was based on just a few individuals and did not capture the full genetic diversity of the human population.
Sixty per cent of roughly 1,600 Canadians who took part in a new 成人VR视频 study say their lifestyle habits either stayed the same or improved during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the flip side, 40% of participants say they adopted less healthy lifestyle habits, including worsened eating habits, sleep quality, decreased physical activity and weight gain. The research is based on the Canadian COVIDiet study of Canadians between the ages of 18 to 89 years old. Researchers from 成人VR视频鈥檚 School of Human Nutrition collected data from across the country during the first wave of infections.
Earlier this month, a Japanese tourist in Montreal made her way to 成人VR视频鈥檚 McLennan Library to view the ongoing exhibit taking place during Asian Heritage Month, 鈥�From Ukiyo-e to Woodblock Printmaking: A Celebration of Japanese Art.鈥� Octavian Sopt, Senior Documentation Technician in the Rare Books and Special Collections branch, is part of the team responsible for exhibits at the library.
Recognizing that education on environmental justice must begin early, a group of 成人VR视频 Architecture students spent five weeks in two Grade 4 classes in Royal Vale Elementary School this year to run ARCHITECTURE PLAYSHOP, where children were introduced to architecture as part of their language, art, and science classes.
