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, ...
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 ...
Evaluating the Residual Benefits of Soil Amendments in Reducing Phosphorus Losses to Snowmelt Runoff from Agricultural Fields
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-11-10)
Phosphorus (P) in snowmelt runoff from agricultural fields across the Canadian prairies is a major source of nutrient pollution to freshwater bodies, such as Lake Winnipeg. The use of soil amendments, such as alum ...
Developing Criteria to Prioritize Rapid Removal of American Elm Trees Infected with Dutch Elm Disease
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-10)
During late summer and early fall in Manitoba, adult native elm bark beetles (NEBB) that carry Dutch Elm Disease (DED) emerge from brood galleries in the canopy and upper trunk of infected elm trees and move to the base ...
