Discounting Life: The Impact of Gender, Race, Domestic Violence, and Ideal Victim Status on Second Degree Murder Sentencing in Canada
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-12)
Scholars, the media, and the public have been concerned about differing values placed on crime victims on the basis of social factors such as gender, race, and domestic violence affiliation. Some academics argue that ...
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 ...
Using Machine Learning to Improve Neutron Tagging Efficiency in Water Cherenkov Detectors
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-11-25)
When an anti-neutrino collides with a proton in the atomic nucleus, it yields an anti-lepton and a free neutron. In a water Cherenkov neutrino detector like Super-K or the next generation Hyper-K, the free neutron is ...
Endangered Oarisma poweshiek butterfly larval foraging and adult habitat interactions in Manitoba, Canada
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-10-29)
The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is endemic to the tall grass prairie in North America, and is now critically endangered globally. Existing populations are scattered amongst tall grass prairie remnants. However, ...
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 ...
Automated Deep Neural Network Approach for Detection of Epileptic Seizures
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-12-09)
In this thesis, I focus on exploiting electroencephalography (EEG) signals for early seizure diagnosis in patients. This process is based on a powerful deep learning algorithm for times series data called Long Short-Term ...
Antimicrobial and Chemical Studies on a Medicinally important Plant: Curcuma longa
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-04-20)
This thesis describes phytochemical studies on the methanolic extract of Curcuma longa; a medicinally important plant used as indigenous medicine for the treatment of wounds in South Asian and African countries. The crude ...
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 ...
3-D Image Analysis via Jacobi Moments with GPU-Accelerated Algorithms
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-11-22)
This research has developed a parallel algorithm to compute 3-Dimensional Jacobi moments with high efficiency and accuracy. The algorithm was implemented in CUDA C. Our developing progress was in the order of Legendre ...
