Using Behaviour to Understand Conservation and Management Strategies for Threatened Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus)
(University of Winnipeg, 2014-11)
Captive assurance populations can help preserve populations in the face of rapid declines that cannot be mitigated in the wild. Individual behavioural tendencies or personality may affect how easily different individuals ...
A Comparative Study of Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) Gene Expression Levels in the Basal Ray-Finned Fish, Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) and the Derived Euteleost Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-09)
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate the controlled release of intracellular stores of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This release of calcium, triggered by membrane-depolarization, is responsible for initiating ...
Exploring Drumming/Song and its Relationship to Healing in the Lives of Indigenous Women Living in the City of Winnipeg
(The University of Winnipeg, 2014-12)
This is an exploratory study on drumming/song and its relationship to healing in the lives of Indigenous women living in the City of Winnipeg. The participants of this study included urban-based Indigenous women actively ...
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 ...
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 ...
Legacies of afforestation on prairie plant, seed bank, and nematode communities in a northern rough fescue prairie
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-08-31)
Afforestation resulting from fire suppression, modified grazing, plantation establishment and climate change poses a threat to northern prairie ecosystems. Trees alter the composition and function of plant and soil communities ...
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 ...
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 ...
Indigenous Food Systems: A Viable Alternative to Food Security; A Case Study of the Irigwe Indigenous People of Kwall, in Bassa Local Government Area of Nigeria
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-08)
Despite the central role that Indigenous foods can potentially play in meeting people’s food security needs in Nigeria, it has continually been ignored by Government and policy makers. With 65% of Nigerian’s considered ...
Accelerating Computation of Zernike and Pseudo-Zernike Moments with a GPU Algorithm
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-09)
Although Zernike and pseudo-Zernike moments have some advanced properties, the computation process is generally very time-consuming, which has limited their practical applications. To improve the computational efficiency ...
