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 ...
The effect of environmental stressors on the development and behaviour of larval Oryzias latipes
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-05-08)
Elevated water temperature and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) are two environmental stressors that freshwater organisms face in the Anthropocene. Larval fishes are particularly susceptible to elevation in water parameters, ...
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 ...
An Intersectional Analysis of Victimization of the Homeless, Mental Health, Guardianship and Housing Status
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-08)
The present study examines victimization across a localized homeless population. It is widely agreed upon across the extant literature that those experiencing homelessness are victimized at disproportionately higher rates ...
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, ...
Quantifying biological responses of catch-and-release angling in understudied fish species and practices
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-20)
Many catch-and-release angling events involve air exposure and exhaustive exercise that elicit a physiological stress response, and depending on a variety of factors, delayed mortality is a possible outcome. There have ...
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 ...
Short Text Classification with Tolerance Near Sets
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-13)
Text classification is a classical machine learning application in Natural Language Processing, which aims to assign labels to textual units such as documents, sentences, paragraphs, and queries. Applications of text ...
A study on the modeling for obesity
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-12-03)
This study primarily aims to develop an Agent Based Model (ABM) that can simulate the obesity rates based on statistical analysis and to find out how obesity is affected by risk factors in a Canadian environment. As obesity ...
