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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
GPU-Accelerated Algorithm to Compute Bessel-Fourier Moments
(University 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 ...
Effects of multigenerational exposure and phenotypic variation on a freshwater fish species exposed to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2)
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-11)
The amount of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) and the acidity of aquatic ecosystems is increasing as atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase due to human activities. Changes in pH and dissolved CO2 can have considerable ...
Twig Pattern Search in XML Database
(University of Winnipeg, 2011-03-03)
For current search engine, we got results ranked by popularity. However, the most popular topics are not always I want. Millions people have millions different favors. So, the main challenge is how to dig the information ...
A Granular-based Approach for Semisupervised Web Information Labeling
(University 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 ...
A Comparative Study of Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) Gene Expression Levels in the Basal Ray-Finned Fish, Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) and the Derived Euteleost Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-09)
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate the controlled release of intracellular stores of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This release of calcium, triggered by membrane-depolarization, is responsible for initiating ...
Trouble on the Home Front: Perspectives on Working Mothers in Winnipeg, 1939-1945
(University of Winnipeg, 2001)
The Second World War created a shortage of labour in Canada, and by 1942 mothers were encouraged by the National Selective Service to accept opportunities for paid employment. The federal government responded to the need ...
