    • Functional Relevance of N-myristoyltransferase as a Biomarker for Colorectal Cancer 

      Rathinagopal, Tharmini Jenny (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2018)
      Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canada. The high mortality rate for CRC patients demonstrate the urgent need for a convenient, accurate and cost-effective screening test, which could ...

    • Genome-Wide Regulatory Interactions in the Early Stages of Drosophila Speciation 

      Go, Alwyn Clark (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-12-15)
      Speciation occurs when reproductive barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between individuals. A common form of reproductive barrier between species capable of interbreeding is hybrid sterility. Genomic ...

    • GPU-Accelerated Algorithm to Compute Bessel-Fourier Moments 

      Xia, Tianpeng (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-03)
      Bessel-Fourier moments have been applied in image pattern reconstruction since their introduction in 2010. In this research, a scalable GPU-based algorithm is proposed to accelerate the computation of Bessel-Fourier moments ...

    • A GPU-based Laplacian Solver for Magnetostatic Boundary Value Problems 

      Welitharage, Piyumi Madhubhashini (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2019-10-04)
      Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) have more computing power than CPUs, and thus, GPUs are proposed as more efficient compute units in solving scientific problems with large parallelizable computational loads. In our ...

    • A Granular-based Approach for Semisupervised Web Information Labeling 

      Sengoz, Cenker (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2015-04-22)
      A key issue when mining web information is the labeling problem: data is abundant on the web but is unlabelled. In this thesis, we address this problem by proposing i) a novel theoretical granular model that structures ...

    • "Guide" vs "Gatekeeper": Information Rights Legislation and The Provincial Archives of Manitoba 

      Nicholls, Jacqueline M. (University of WinnipegUniversity of Manitoba, 2000-12)
      Access and privacy legislation (also known as information rights legislation) has been an evolving feature of Canadian life for more than twenty years. Public archives, as custodians of the records of their government ...

    • Habitat Characterization and Biology of the Threatened Dakota Skipper (Hesperia dacotae) in Manitoba 

      Rigney, Christa Leigh (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2013-10-09)
      The Dakota Skipper, Hesperia dacotae, is a threatened butterfly restricted to fragmented prairies in the Interlake, southwestern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan in Canada. Currently there is limited data on the life ...

    • Habitat quality, torpor expression and pathogen transmission in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) 

      Breit, Ana M. (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
      Protection of habitat can improve survival and reproductive fitness of threatened and endangered wildlife, particularly if that habitat helps individuals maintain energy balance. Temperate bats are heterothermic and rely ...

    • Hibernation Behaviour of Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) 

      Czenze, Zenon (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2014-09-25)
      For temperate endotherms (i.e., mammals and birds) energy costs are highest during winter but food availability is lowest and many mammals depend on hibernation as a result. Hibernation is made up of energy-saving torpor ...

    • Holiness and the Atonement 

      Sellars, W. C. (University of WinnipegUnited College, 1952-04)
      Thesis: That the concept of Atonement as throughout the work of a God whose nature is holy love is more clearly exhibited in the classic view described by Aulen in Christus Victor than in either the subjective or objective ...

    • Home range, habitat selection, and annual survival of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in central Canada 

      Habrich, Andrew (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2018-10)
      The little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) is one of several hibernating bat species in North America affected by a fungal pathogen that causes a disease known as White-nose syndrome (WNS). As a result, little brown bat ...

    • Humanism and Theism 

      Moffatt, Kenneth Herbert (University of WinnipegUnited College, 1948-04)
      The purpose of posing humanism against theism is to allow us to view the fallacies of both when they are examined analytically and objectively. It is obvious today that humanism is playing, and has played, a great role in ...

    • Humidity, huddling & the hibernation energetics of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) 

      Muise, Kristina A. (University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-08-18)
      During winter, many mammals hibernate and lower their body temperature and metabolic rate (MR) in prolonged periods of torpor. Hibernators will use energetically expensive arousals (i.e., restore body temperature and MR) ...
