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 ...
Indigenous Perspectives in Program Evaluation: A scoping literature review exploring wise practices for program evaluation with Indigenous communities in northern Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-31)
This study explored how organizations that offer programming and services in northern Indigenous communities could inform, adapt, and improve their evaluation approaches to involve an Indigenous perspective. Without this ...
Strengthening energy security through community energy planning in Churchill, Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-04)
Imagine that it costs you $100 to fill your car’s gas tank, and no one outside your isolated community is working to improve things. This scenario is a reality for many northern remote communities like Churchill, Manitoba, ...
The Ideology of the Feminine in Byzantine historical narrative: The role of John Skylitzes' Synopsis of Histories
(University of Winnipeg, 2003-08)
The medieval Eastern Roman Empire (commonly referred to as the Byzantine Empire) is the least well documented of all the early medieval Christian societies. Modern historians studying the Byzantine world are inordinately ...
"Guide" vs "Gatekeeper": Information Rights Legislation and The Provincial Archives of Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 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 ...
Reconnecting Mind and Matter: Materiality in Archival Theory and Practice
(University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg, 2009)
This thesis considers the assumptions and beliefs of the archival profession to reconceptualize how materiality is related to contextuality, and thereby reveal the “mind” within the material (or immaterial) form and reconnect ...
Transcriptional Down Regulation of Spermatogenesis Genes in Drosophila Interspecies Hybrids
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-10)
In Drosophila, crossing two closely related species can generate viable but sterile male offspring,typically an outcome of postzygotic reproductive isolation. Hybrids
between species of the Drosophila simulans clade show ...
Automated Land Use and Land Cover Map Production: A Deep Learning Framework
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-10-19)
In this thesis, we present an approach to automating the creation of land use and land cover (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ...
A messy situation: effects of treated human wastewater on aquatic biota
(University of Winnipeg, 2019-04-22)
Removal of personal care products (PCPs), pharmaceuticals and other substances
from human wastewater is often unsuccessful and released back in to receiving water.
This includes anti-psychotics and cosmetic additives, ...
Genome-Wide Regulatory Interactions in the Early Stages of Drosophila Speciation
(University 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 ...
