Phosphorus Release from Unamended and Gypsum- or Biochar-Amended Soils under Simulated Snowmelt and Summer Flooding Conditions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2020-03-30)
Prolonged flooding changes the oxidation–reduction status of soils, often enhancing P release to overlying floodwater. We studied P release from unamended, gypsum-amended, and biochar-amended soils under simulated snowmelt ...
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 ...
Magnetic diffusion, inductive shielding, and the Laplace transform
(American Institute of Physics (AIP) for the American Association of Physics Teachers, 2021-04-21)
In the quasistatic limit, a time-varying magnetic field inside a conductor is governed by the diffusion equation. Despite the occurrence of this scenario in many popular physics demonstrations, the concept of magnetic ...
Improving LULC Map Production via Semantic Segmentation and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-04-13)
In recent years, a lot of remote sensing problems benefited from the improvements made in deep learning. In particular, deep learning semantic segmentation algorithms have provided improved frameworks for the automated ...
Canadian teachers' attitudes toward change, efficacy, and burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Elsevier, 2020-11-19)
Canadian teachers (N = 1626) took part in a longitudinal, national survey conducted at two points early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicated that teacher efficacy, attitudes toward change, and perceptions of ...
Linking dominant rainfall-runoff event hydrologic response dynamics with nitrate and chloride load estimates of three boreal Shield catchments
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-08-21)
Understanding hydrological dynamics in boreal Shield catchments is critical for projecting changes in stream runoff and chemistry in a region that is sensitive to climate change. Previous work has mostly focused on a limited ...
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, ...
A User-Centric Case for Rights Reversions and Other Mitigations: The Cultural Capital Project Submission to ISED Consultation on Term Extension
(2021-03-09)
Term extension is unlikely to benefit any but the largest of rightsholders, and indeed, in general independent creators typically do not benefit greatly from the promised financial exploitation promised by copyrights. This ...
Accessing Medical Assistance in Death (MAiD): An interpretative phenomenological analysis of experiences with MAiD by family members and providers in Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2021)
This research explored first-hand experiences with medical assistance in death (MAiD) in Manitoba. It aimed to uncover what experiences revealed about the process behind this new end-of-life option in Canada. Specifically, ...
Strengthening energy security through community energy planning in Churchill, Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-04)
Imagine that it costs you $100 to fill your car’s gas tank, and no one outside your isolated community is working to improve things. This scenario is a reality for many northern remote communities like Churchill, Manitoba, ...
Equity, diversity and inclusion

Quantifying biological responses of catch-and-release angling in understudied fish species and practices
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-20)
Many catch-and-release angling events involve air exposure and exhaustive exercise that elicit a physiological stress response, and depending on a variety of factors, delayed mortality is a possible outcome. There have ...

(OpenStax and University of Winnipeg Library, 2020-08-21)
Chemistry and the Environment is designed to accompany a one-semester course in chemistry-based discussions of important environmental issues such as air pollution, the ozone layer, climate change and water quality. Chemical ...
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 ...
Advancing local energy transitions: A global review of government instruments supporting community energy
(Elsevier, 2021-10-28)
The adoption and encouragement of community energy, that is, the incentive to develop renewable energy projects with community participation and ownership, is a key ingredient of energy transition. Government policies and ...
