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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Indigenous Anglicans in Canada: A New Agape and the Path to Self-Determination
(University of Winnipeg, 2015-04-22)
The encounter between Indigenous peoples and settlers in North America is rife with challenges and missed opportunities, and marred by colonial domination, resulting in great harm to Indigenous people. The Anglican Church ...
Anishinaabekwewag Teachings of Self-Determination
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-08-12)
Since being excluded from decolonization efforts in the mid-twentieth century on the grounds that they were not colonized peoples but minorities living within sovereign states, Indigenous peoples have called for a broader ...
Sparks of Light: Survivor Narratives Reflected Through the Lens of Irving Greenberg’s Theology
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-01-22)
In the future, when no first-person witnesses to the Shoah are left to tell their stories, we will be left with their written, audio, and video narratives. Those who will be left to bear witness for them can tell their ...
A Granular-based Approach for Semisupervised Web Information Labeling
(University of Winnipeg, 2015-04-22)
A key issue when mining web information is the labeling problem: data is abundant on the web but is unlabelled. In this thesis, we address this problem by proposing i) a novel theoretical granular model that structures ...
GPU-Accelerated Algorithm to Compute Bessel-Fourier Moments
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-03)
Bessel-Fourier moments have been applied in image pattern reconstruction since their introduction in 2010. In this research, a scalable GPU-based algorithm is proposed to accelerate the computation of Bessel-Fourier moments ...
