As Montreal's new light rail or LRT system is set to open its first branch of service this summer, researchers at TRAM, a transportation research group at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, have released an overview of how Montrealers say they plan to use (or not use) the new system, based on surveys conducted between 2019 to 2022.
A new study by a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ PhD student is looking into the effects of gaslighting in romantic relationships. The term is used to describe a form of psychological abuse in which a person or group causes someone to question their own sanity, memories, or perception of reality.
About one in 10 people are reported to have a penicillin allergy. Those patients are more likely to be prescribed alternative antibiotics that are often less effective against certain infections. This can lead to treatment failure, increased risks of antibiotic resistance and the development of superbugs. Yet, fewer than five per cent of patients labelled with a penicillin allergy are truly allergic.Â
Chronic pain is a complex condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide and understanding its causes and predicting its trajectory remains difficult. However, findings from could improve the understanding and management of chronic pain. The researchers developed a model that can predict one’s likelihood of developing chronic pain as well as the severity and spread of that pain.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ today announced it has signed agreements with ModernaTX, Inc., a biotechnology company pioneering messenger Ï㽶ÊÓƵ (mÏ㽶ÊÓƵ) therapeutics and vaccines, to support two innovative research projects in the area of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). LNPs are critical components in mÏ㽶ÊÓƵ medicines such as vaccines, as they are the primary delivery method of mÏ㽶ÊÓƵ strands to the target cells.
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’s largest telescopes are pointed toward distant galaxies and star systems, however, some think there’s 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 Ï㽶ÊÓƵ sheds light on the stark economic cost resulting from biological invasions in the European Union (EU).
From an artist’s attempt to tame troubled sleep with AI, to sounds and objects as artifacts of other people’s 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’re sleep deprived, you will likely have a harder time remembering things than if you’re 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 Ï㽶ÊÓƵ set out to answer the question: what controls the pathway of the Labrador Current?
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ 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 Ï㽶ÊÓƵ 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, McGill 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 Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, in partnership with Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) and the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) announced the launch of ‘,’ this fall in Montreal.
