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 ...
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 ...
3D Convolutional Neural Networks for Solving Complex Digital Agriculture and Medical Imaging Problems
(University of Winnipe, 2022-06)
3D signals have become widely popular in view of the advantage they provide via 3D representations of data by employing a third spatial or temporal dimension to extend 2D signals. Predominantly, 3D signals contain details ...
The Significance of a Relations-based Approach to Indigenous Research Ethics and Indigenous Data Sovereignty
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-08)
BACKGROUND: Indigenous people have been increasingly asserting self-determination in research to “research ourselves back to life”. There is a current knowledge gap regarding how gender is considered in Indigenous research ...

(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-25)
This research projects examine the impact of HIV among urban Aboriginal women living with HIV in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Despite the antiretroviral tereatment and HIV prevention strategies, new HIV positive cases for urban ...
Humidity, huddling & the hibernation energetics of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus)
(University 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) ...
Using Machine Learning to Improve Neutron Tagging Efficiency in Water Cherenkov Detectors
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-11-25)
When an anti-neutrino collides with a proton in the atomic nucleus, it yields an anti-lepton and a free neutron. In a water Cherenkov neutrino detector like Super-K or the next generation Hyper-K, the free neutron is ...
To Conserve and Protect: “Making Sense” of Conservation Officer uses of Emotional Labour
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-01)
Given the unique role that conservation officer’s play in our society, it is critical that researchers better understand factors that may influence the activities and behaviours of the individuals tasked with dealing with ...
Long-Range Dispersal Behaviour and Spatial Distribution Modelling of Adult Mosquitoes in the Winnipeg Region
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-15)
Mosquitoes are present in virtually every nation worldwide, acting as both a vector for many serious pathogens, and as a nuisance because of their blood-feeding behaviours. As a principle of Integrated Mosquito Management ...
Structure, Function and Drought Resilience of Northern Prairie Communities, 50 Years After Grazing Disturbance
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-09-18)
With climate change threatening the function of grassland ecosystems, conservation and restoration strategies are shifting from comparisons of species compositions with baseline conditions, to assessments of ecosystem ...
