An Efficient Approach to Compute Zernike Moments with GPU-Accelerated Algorithm
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-07)
The utilization of Zernike moments has been extensive in various fields, including image processing and pattern recognition, owing to their desirable characteristics. However, the application of Zernike moments is hindered ...
Reconnecting Mind and Matter: Materiality in Archival Theory and Practice
(University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg, 2009)
This thesis considers the assumptions and beliefs of the archival profession to reconceptualize how materiality is related to contextuality, and thereby reveal the “mind” within the material (or immaterial) form and reconnect ...
The Value of Community-Based Ethnic Archives: A Resource in Development
(University of Winnipeg, 1997-05)
Archives are entrusted with the difficult task of capturing the nation's history. Obtaining an accurate reflection of a diverse nation through the documentary evidence they choose to retain is a great challenge. For much ...
Mathematical Modelling and Validation of Mitogenic Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-09-18)
Applied Mathematics is becoming an integral part of predicting disease progression, including cancers. Mathematical models can be used to test novel hypotheses, develop optimized treatments schema and personalised therapies, ...
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 ...
Automated Land Use and Land Cover Map Production: A Deep Learning Framework
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-10-19)
In this thesis, we present an approach to automating the creation of land use and land cover (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ...
The role of ambient temperature in the ontogeny of endangered Oarisma poweshiek and their relative O. garita reared ex-situ at Assiniboine Park Zoo, Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2024-03-11)
Regionwide extirpations of Poweshiek skipperlings (Oarisma poweshiek) have prompted an international conservation effort to understand the causes of their decline and to recover the species. However, aspects of their basic ...
A Critical Analysis of Canada’s Sex Work Discourse and Policy: From Federal to Local
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-18)
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 ...
Genome-Wide Regulatory Interactions in the Early Stages of Drosophila Speciation
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-12-15)
Speciation occurs when reproductive barriers prevent the exchange of genetic information between individuals. A common form of reproductive barrier between species capable of interbreeding is hybrid sterility. Genomic ...
An Intersectional Analysis of Victimization of the Homeless, Mental Health, Guardianship and Housing Status
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-08)
The present study examines victimization across a localized homeless population. It is widely agreed upon across the extant literature that those experiencing homelessness are victimized at disproportionately higher rates ...
