Legendre Moments Explorations via Image Reconstruction
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-06-29)
Legendre Moment has been applied in image reconstruction since early years. In this research, a numerical integration method is proposed to improve the computational accuracy of Legendre moments. To clarify the improved ...
An Examination of Police Culture and its Effects on Patrol Officers Attitudes towards Restorative Justice
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-12)
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between restorative justice and police culture, and the level to which this culture acts as barrier to the successful implementation and use of restorative justice ...
The effects of Livestock Grazing on Vegetation and Lepidopterans in Endangered Alvar Sites in Manitoba's Interlake: A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Science degree
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-07)
Alvar is a rare type of ecosystem characterized by open, flat terrain and incomplete vegetation intermixed with patches of exposed calcareous pavement. Alvars in Manitoba’s Interlake support tall grass prairie and boreal ...
Renewed Spirit in Winnipeg's North End: An emerging Aboriginal young adult co-creative leadership model
(University of Winnipeg, 2014-09-02)
This thesis argues that the Winnipeg youth movement, “Meet Me at the Bell Tower” (MMBT), offers a new form of spiritual, cultural, and political renewal. Qualitative data drawn from interviews of youth leaders in this ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cis-Regulatory divergence and expression of ryanodine receptor paralogues in Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-12)
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large homotetrameric proteins that in mammals are encoded by three genes: RyR1 in skeletal muscle; RyR2 in cardiac and smooth muscle; and RyR3 which is expressed in a diversity of cell types. ...
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 ...
