Analysis of Impact of Alcohol on Brain's Activity
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-11-30)
Electroencephalography is an electrophysiological monitoring process to capture electrical activity on the scalp that has been shown to represent the macroscopic activity of the surface layer of the brain underneath. It ...
The Long and Short of IT: The International Development Research Centre as a Case Study for a Long-term Digital Preservation Strategy
(University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg, 2007)
This thesis is a contribution to the study of the challenges facing archivists and record managers working on the long-term management and preservation of digital records. This thesis discusses the International Development ...
Habitat quality, torpor expression and pathogen transmission in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus)
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
Protection of habitat can improve survival and reproductive fitness of threatened and endangered wildlife, particularly if that habitat helps individuals maintain energy balance. Temperate bats are heterothermic and rely ...
Field Plant Identification Through Indoor Imagery Using Image Augmentation and Object Detection Algorithms
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-11-04)
A growing global population and recent changes in climate make it increasingly necessary to incorporate recent advances in machine learning and robotics into agricultural practices. Plant detection is the problem of ...
Legacies of afforestation on prairie plant, seed bank, and nematode communities in a northern rough fescue prairie
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-08-31)
Afforestation resulting from fire suppression, modified grazing, plantation establishment and climate change poses a threat to northern prairie ecosystems. Trees alter the composition and function of plant and soil communities ...
Financial Fetters: Mothers, Lone Parents and Welfare Reform, Winnipeg in the 1960s
(University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg, 2002-08)
This thesis is a study of Manitoba’s social welfare system in the 1960s based on findings in the provincial and City of Winnipeg’s annual reports. In order to understand the position of welfare administrators during this ...
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)
In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions
if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution,
and neural networks are known ...
Indigenous Food Systems: A Viable Alternative to Food Security; A Case Study of the Irigwe Indigenous People of Kwall, in Bassa Local Government Area of Nigeria
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-08)
Despite the central role that Indigenous foods can potentially play in meeting people’s food security needs in Nigeria, it has continually been ignored by Government and policy makers. With 65% of Nigerian’s considered ...
Exploring Deep Neural Networks for Plant Image Classification
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04)
Automatically distinguishing different types of plant images is a challenging problem relevant to both Botany and Computer Science disciplines. Plant identification at the species level is a computer vision task called ...
On the Evaluation of Pattern Match Queries in Large Graph Databases
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-01)
Recently, graph databases have been received much attention in the research community due to their extensive applications in practice, such as social networks, biological networks and World Wide Web, which bring forth a ...
