Men's health is affected by divorces and by living alone for many years
Peer-Reviewed Publication
It is well known that breakup can lead to poor health and early death among men, but less so among women. A new study conducted at the University of Copenhagen establishes a connection between increased risk of inflammation in men and both breakup and living alone for a number of years.
As the human and economic costs of climate disasters continue to mount, Canada faces a choice. It can continue to respond to disasters as they unfold — with the attendant economic, social, and health harms — or it can proactively prepare for them, mitigating the worst of the damages or avoiding them altogether. According to a new expert panel report from the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), bridging disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation practices is crucial to reducing exposure and vulnerability to disasters and bolstering public safety in a changing climate.
Prisoners who are incarcerated in buildings located in green areas are less likely to engage in self-harming or violent behaviours, new research shows.
If your New Year’s resolution is to eat better for the planet, a new Tulane University study finds it may be easier than you think. Researchers calculated how people can lower their diets' carbon impact by swapping one high-impact food item for similar, more sustainable options.
Efficient electrocatalysts, which are needed for the production of green hydrogen, for example, are hidden in materials composed of five or more elements. A team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the University of Copenhagen has developed an efficient method for identifying promising candidates in the myriad of possible materials. To this end, the researchers combined experiments and simulation. They published their report in the journal “Advanced Energy Materials” from 5 January 2022.
Miniaturized magnetic devices and new spintronic devices require detailed imaging at nanoscales, where quantum properties become important. However, the imaging resolution is limited by the size of magnetic probe. Now, researchers from Japan offer a method for manufacturing scanning diamond probes with more processing flexibility unlike conventional techniques and greater control over their shape, paving the way for high-performance nano-quantum sensing and imaging.
The exponential growth of vehicles and the human population (especially in the urban/metropolitan area) results in many challenges while information collecting, processing, predicting, and integrating various intelligent technologies. To furnish daily work and lead life, everyone is directly dependent upon transportation, which is inter-related to traffic density, mobility, traffic demands, etc. In urban areas, the traffic demands have grown faster than the construction of required infrastructure, reduced the mobility of vehicles, and increased traffic congestion, which is one of the serious problems each city in the country is facing. The objective of this book “Computational Intelligence for Sustainable Transportation and Mobility - Volume 1“ is to provide a detailed understanding of the Computational Intelligence techniques with the main focus on sustainable transportation and mobility field. The final goal is to connect and utilize the new CI techniques to interdisciplinary areas that can be put to good use. The primary emphasis of this book is to introduce computational intelligence techniques, challenges, issues, and concepts to researchers, scientists, and academicians at large.
