Interactive exhibition InSomnolence shows sleep is more social than it seems
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 InSomnolence by the research collective The Sociability of Sleep asks: how does sleep bring us together?
Maintaining good cardiorespiratory fitness can protect your memory from the effects of sleep loss
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 a recent 成人VR视频 study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
What controls the pathways of the Labrador Current?
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?

New diagnostic platform uses nanotechnology and machine learning to identify infectious diseases quickly
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.
Moving towards a more inclusive approach to medicine
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.
How Canadians' lifestyle behaviours changed during the COVID-19 pandemic
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.
