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 ...
Duck Populations and the Oil and Gas Industry in the Boreal Plains of Alberta
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
The boreal forest of northern Alberta supports a large portion of North America’s breeding duck population in addition to being an area of importance to the petroleum industry. Breeding duck surveys in the Boreal Plains ...
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, ...
Indigenous Identities and Nation-Building within Canadian Urban Centres: Relevance for Algonquin Nationhood
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-03)
I document and analyze, using a decolonization framework, historical and contemporary understandings of Indigenous identities, focusing primarily on Indigenous Canadian identity in urban centres. I describe the reconstruction ...
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, ...
On the Evaluation of Pattern Match Queries in Large Graph Databases
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-01)
Recently, graph databases have been received much attention in the research community due to their extensive applications in practice, such as social networks, biological networks and World Wide Web, which bring forth a ...
Functional Relevance of N-myristoyltransferase as a Biomarker for Colorectal Cancer
(University of Winnipeg, 2018)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canada. The high mortality rate for CRC patients demonstrate the urgent need for a convenient, accurate and cost-effective screening test, which could ...

Through an analysis of the 2022 federal House of Commons standing committee review of the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act and selected provincial and municipal documents, this thesis illustrates some ...
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 ...
