Millennial fire history reconstruction in the boreal forest of south-central Canada using lake-sediment charcoal, tree-ring and archival records
(University of Winnipeg, 2016)
The Canadian boreal forest has been developing since the end of the last glaciation approximately 10,000 years ago. During this time, fire has modified the development of the forest by altering species distribution, stand ...
Cubical homology-based Image Classification - A Comparative Study
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-12-23)
Persistent homology is a powerful tool in topological data analysis (TDA) to compute, study and encode efficiently multi-scale topological features and is being increasingly used in digital image classification. The ...
Spectroscopic Analysis of Ca-Carbonates from Utah Crystal Geyser to Support Carbonate Detection within our Solar System
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-05)
This study investigated the Utah Crystal Geyser, a unique low-temperature, CO2-rich geyser relevant to Mars, icy moons, and asteroids. Samples from the site had a range of textural and color differences; however, they ...
Indigenous Knowledge and Tourism on Protected Areas Under Constitutional Sumak Kawsai in Ecuador: Policies and Legislation
(University of Winnipeg, 2024-05-11)
This thesis aims to expose the deficiencies in Ecuadorian legislation in protecting Indigenous culture and Indigenous knowledge within the tourism economy located within Indigenous traditional lands and protected areas of ...
Envisioning a culturally safe midwifery model from the perspective of Indigenous families: A case study of midwifery care in inner city Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-04)
Prenatal care is associated with improved outcomes for the mother and baby. Ongoing research in Winnipeg shows that pregnant people, especially Indigenous people, living in Winnipeg’s inner city have significantly lower ...
Quantifying the Concentration and Loads of Dissolved Organic Contaminants in Snowmelt Runoff from Manure-Amended Agricultural Fields
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-04-15)
Agriculture is an integral part of Canada’s economy, making 1.6% of the country’s GDP. In Manitoba, swine production contributed nearly 1.4 billion dollars in revenue from 8.4 million pigs sold to the market. Liquid swine ...
A GPU-based Laplacian Solver for Magnetostatic Boundary Value Problems
(University 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 ...
Cain and Abel: Reimaging Stories of Violence
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-24)
This thesis uses a close reading of the Cain and Abel narrative to offer an interpretation grounded in feminist theology, which imagines a world with less violence. It draws on sources from the social sciences, peace and ...
Postmating, Prezygotic Isolation among species of the Drosophila virilis subgroup
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-12-01)
Reproductive barriers between sexually reproducing organisms prevent interbreeding and
gene flow between species. Early studies of reproductive isolation focused on prezygotic and
postzygotic isolating mechanisms, yet ...
Estimated Detection Limits of Carboxylates in Palagonite by X-ray Diffraction and Reflectance Spectroscopy
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-09)
Low molecular weight carboxylates (carbonates, oxalates, formates, and acetates) are either known or are expected to be present on the surface of Mars. Previous work has suggested these phases to be present in Gale Crater ...
