Postmating, Prezygotic Isolation among species of the Drosophila virilis subgroup
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-12-01)
Reproductive barriers between sexually reproducing organisms prevent interbreeding and
gene flow between species. Early studies of reproductive isolation focused on prezygotic and
postzygotic isolating mechanisms, yet ...
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 ...
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 ...
Accelerating Computation of Zernike and Pseudo-Zernike Moments with a GPU Algorithm
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-09)
Although Zernike and pseudo-Zernike moments have some advanced properties, the computation process is generally very time-consuming, which has limited their practical applications. To improve the computational efficiency ...
Securing Intrusion Detection Systems in IoT Networks Against Adversarial Learning: A Moving Target Defense Approach based on Reinforcement Learning
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-08-23)
Investigating the use of moving target defense (MTD) mechanisms in IoT networks is ongoing research, with unfathomable potential to equip IoT devices and networks with the ability to fend off cyber attacks despite the ...
“Weaponized sexuality” to the normalization of sexual violence: Rape culture and the non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery (NCDII)
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-08-22)
This thesis research explores the non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery (NCDII), a form of technology-facilitated sexual violence. NCDII is the digital sharing of sexualized visual content of another person, ...
Prolegomena To An Anglican Discussion of Authority: The Role of History on The Current Crisis
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-07)
Authority is problematic. It is problematic in theory, and it is problematic in practice. According to the Lutheran theologian Günther Gassmann, "The issue of authority has been a perennial problem in the framework of ...
Anishinaabeg Kinship Diplomacy and Animal Nations: A Critical Review of Political Leadership
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-04)
In this thesis I argue that engagement with animal nations to remake the world is an embedded practice of Anishinaabeg stories. From the perspective of my survey of the Anishinaabeg resurgence literature I conclude that ...
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 ...
