Studying how temperature affects mortality rates is crucial in environmental health research. Traditional methods often rely on precise models, but these models can't capture all the complexities involved. This study introduces a new, flexible approach that doesn't just look for simple patterns but
In many parts of the world, good health workers are hard to find. This problem is even bigger in fields like occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (S-LP). Many professionals leave or switch jobs, causing trouble for health systems. So, researchers in Quebec,
Imagine tiny pores on plant leaves, known as stomata, working hard all day. They're not just there for show; they help plants breathe and prevent them from getting too hot. But what happens when the climate changes? That's what scientists are trying to figure out. In a changing environment, these s
You might think turning waste into energy sounds great, but Kingston is giving the idea a hard pass.
