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 ...
Rare words in text summarization
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-01-16)
Automatic text summarization is a difficult task, which involves a good understanding of an input text to produce fluent, brief and vast summary. The usage of text summarization models can vary from legal document summarization ...
Exploring Machine Learning Approaches to Precipitation Prediction: Post Processing of Daily Accumulated North American forecasts
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-11-22)
This thesis presents recent work on exploring machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to improve the accuracy of 24 hour precipitation forecasts. Leveraging a comprehensive North American dataset of precipitation ...
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 ...
To Conserve and Protect: “Making Sense” of Conservation Officer uses of Emotional Labour
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-01)
Given the unique role that conservation officer’s play in our society, it is critical that researchers better understand factors that may influence the activities and behaviours of the individuals tasked with dealing with ...
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 ...
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 ...
Miyo pimatisiwin opikinawasowin: Living the good life in child rearing ways
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-08-14)
Opikinawasowin is the Cree word for the lifelong process of growing children. Indigenous child rearing practices adopt a holistic approach while being inclusive of the family unit and the community. The tipi is the conceptual ...
Exploring Hyperspectral Imaging and 3D Convolutional Neural Network for Stress Classification in Plants
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-06)
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has emerged as a transformative technology in imaging, characterized by its ability to capture a wide spectrum of light, including wavelengths beyond the visible range. This approach significantly ...
Analyzing Forest Policy to Advance Indigenous-Led Forestry Initiatives and Increase Adaptive Capacity
(University of Winnipe, 2023-06-28)
Indigenous groups across Canada continue to regain sovereignty over their traditional territories and this research focuses on their involvement in Manitoba’s forest sector. A large proportion of First Nations communities ...
