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 ...
Hard Infrastructure, Hard Times: Workers Perspectives on Privatization and Contracting out of Manitoba Infrastructure
(Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, 2021-09-03)
For several years, the Manitoba government led by the Progressive Conservatives has been pushing hard to reduce the number of government workers, while transferring work and contracts to the private sector. This report ...
3D Convolutional Neural Networks for Solving Complex Digital Agriculture and Medical Imaging Problems
(University of Winnipe, 2022-06)
3D signals have become widely popular in view of the advantage they provide via 3D representations of data by employing a third spatial or temporal dimension to extend 2D signals. Predominantly, 3D signals contain details ...
The Role of Multidimensional Library Neutrality in Advancing Social Justice: Adapting Theoretical Foundations from Political Science and Urban Planning
(2022)
There is an ongoing, polarizing debate in the library profession and scholarship regarding the perceived incompatibility between library neutrality (embedded in the profession through the American Library Association’s ...
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 ...
Rhymes with Truck: The Manitoba Food History Project
