It's JustiFlied: The Endogenous Retrovirus K Integrase Induces Motor Disturbances in Transgenic Drosophila
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-12-13)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of cortical and spinal motor neurons. Endogenous retrovirus K (ERVK) is a genomic viral symbiont that has been associated ...
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 ...
Improving LULC Map Production via Semantic Segmentation and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-04-13)
In recent years, a lot of remote sensing problems benefited from the improvements made in deep learning. In particular, deep learning semantic segmentation algorithms have provided improved frameworks for the automated ...
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 ...
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 ...
Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-14)
Gene duplication is a key driver of genetic diversity and adaptation, allowing genomes to develop complexity and redundant sequences that evolve along different trajectories. In human evolution, gene duplication played an ...
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 ...
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 ...
Post mating isolating barriers between Drosophila species and the role of seminal fluid gene expression
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-07)
Reproductive genes are known to be among the fastest evolving category of genes within the genome, and males’ reproductive genes show a high divergence between species. A class of genes expressed in the male’s reproductive ...
Chief Paskwa’s Pictograph: Revisiting Treaty Four Through an Anishinaabe Philosophy
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-02-23)
This research provides an understanding of Treaty Four 1874 through an Anishinaabe philosophy using Anishinaabe (Ojibway) research methods. Prior research conducted has been done by primarily non-Anishinaabeg, therefore, ...
