Quantifying biological responses of catch-and-release angling in understudied fish species and practices
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-20)
Many catch-and-release angling events involve air exposure and exhaustive exercise that elicit a physiological stress response, and depending on a variety of factors, delayed mortality is a possible outcome. There have ...
Cis-Regulatory divergence and expression of ryanodine receptor paralogues in Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-12)
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large homotetrameric proteins that in mammals are encoded by three genes: RyR1 in skeletal muscle; RyR2 in cardiac and smooth muscle; and RyR3 which is expressed in a diversity of cell types. ...
The effect of environmental stressors on the development and behaviour of larval Oryzias latipes
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-05-08)
Elevated water temperature and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) are two environmental stressors that freshwater organisms face in the Anthropocene. Larval fishes are particularly susceptible to elevation in water parameters, ...
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation using Satellite Images for Significantly Different Infrastructure Objects
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-03-28)
Deep learning has become one of the most efficient computer vision tools in recent years. The success and variety of deep learning semantic segmentation models inspired scientists in the remote sensing domain to apply them ...
Behavioural Responses of Wood Frog (Lithobates Sylvaticus) Tadpoles to Diluted Bitumen
(University of Winnipeg, 2019-04-25)
The study of behaviour in ecotoxicology allows for a broader understanding of the effects of pollution in an ecosystem. Amphibians are vulnerable to contaminant exposure, especially during early life stages when they are ...
Incarceration and Re-entry for Provincial Prisoners: Is there Hope?
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-04)
This thesis explores the impacts of hope on the experience of incarceration and re-entry into the community and how ex-prisoners make sense of and foster hope in their lives. This research was conducted through qualitative ...
"We are the land, and the land is us": Connecting Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change in the Canadian Prairies.
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-12-11)
Owing to years of Indigenous lobbying, organizing, and scholarship, recent decades have
seen growing engagement with Indigenous peoples and their knowledges in environmental
management, policy-making, and research around ...
Perceptions of Crime Seriousness and Punitive Attitudes in Post-Secondary Students
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-11)
Public perceptions of crime seriousness and attitudes towards the punishment of crime stem from the social norms and values that shape society and are informed by ways of knowing about crime. Located within a social ...
On Temporal Bipartite Graphs and Their Application in Disease Spread Prediction
(University of Winnipeg, 2024-04-30)
The original temporal bipartite graph is flawed in the context of disease spreading models as it does not account for concepts such as virus incu-bation and recovery periods. In this thesis, a new graph structure, referred ...
The Influence of Soil Nitrogen Level on Tomato Defence against Whiteflies
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
Whiteflies are one of the leading causes of tomato yield loss worldwide. Phloem feeders, including whiteflies, prefer foliage with high nitrogen (N) content because organic N is a limiting factor for herbivores. Since soil ...
