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 ...
The Education Policy of the Dufferin Roblin Administration, 1958-1967
(University of Winnipeg, 1998-02)
Politics and education are two of the most important, albeit controversial, institutions that make up the framework of Canadian society. Both national institutions underwent a series of dramatic changes during the Cold War ...
The Long and Short of IT: The International Development Research Centre as a Case Study for a Long-term Digital Preservation Strategy
(University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg, 2007)
This thesis is a contribution to the study of the challenges facing archivists and record managers working on the long-term management and preservation of digital records. This thesis discusses the International Development ...
Habitat quality, torpor expression and pathogen transmission in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus)
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
Protection of habitat can improve survival and reproductive fitness of threatened and endangered wildlife, particularly if that habitat helps individuals maintain energy balance. Temperate bats are heterothermic and rely ...
Field Plant Identification Through Indoor Imagery Using Image Augmentation and Object Detection Algorithms
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-11-04)
A growing global population and recent changes in climate make it increasingly necessary to incorporate recent advances in machine learning and robotics into agricultural practices. Plant detection is the problem of ...
Land as a Teacher: Indigenous Food Knowledges and Perspectives from Long Plain First Nations
(University of Winnipeg, 2024-05-16)
This study adopts a community-based Indigenous research approach to understanding Indigenous food knowledge and perspectives from Long Plain First Nation, Manitoba. Through in-depth interviews with nine community participants, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-14)
Gene duplication is a key driver of genetic diversity and adaptation, allowing genomes to develop complexity and redundant sequences that evolve along different trajectories. In human evolution, gene duplication played an ...
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)
In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions
if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution,
and neural networks are known ...
