Habitat Characterization and Biology of the Threatened Dakota Skipper (Hesperia dacotae) in Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-10-09)
The Dakota Skipper, Hesperia dacotae, is a threatened butterfly restricted to fragmented prairies in the Interlake, southwestern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan in Canada. Currently there is limited data on the life ...
Twig Pattern Search in XML Database
(University of Winnipeg, 2011-03-03)
For current search engine, we got results ranked by popularity. However, the most popular topics are not always I want. Millions people have millions different favors. So, the main challenge is how to dig the information ...
Breeding Ecology of Wild and Captive-released Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) in Southwestern Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2016)
Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) once occupied grassland ecosystems in the western Provinces of Canada, as far east as Winnipeg, Manitoba, and west into the southern interior of British Columbia (B.C.). No single factor ...
Identification of Renin Inhibiting Natural Products from Nauclea latifolia
(University of Winnipeg, 2011-08-30)
Natural products, particularly plants have been an important source of food and medicine throughout the history of mankind. High blood pressure has become a growing health burden all over the world. There is an obvious ...
Reproductive and Genetic Consequences of Fragmentation in Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana, L.)
(University of Winnipeg, 2011-05-04)
Habitat fragmentation has the potential to negatively affect plant populations by disrupting gene flow, reducing genetic diversity and changing mating dynamics. However, the effect of fragmentation has been poorly investigated ...
Renewed Spirit in Winnipeg's North End: An emerging Aboriginal young adult co-creative leadership model
(University of Winnipeg, 2014-09-02)
This thesis argues that the Winnipeg youth movement, “Meet Me at the Bell Tower” (MMBT), offers a new form of spiritual, cultural, and political renewal. Qualitative data drawn from interviews of youth leaders in this ...
Millennial fire history reconstruction in the boreal forest of south-central Canada using lake-sediment charcoal, tree-ring and archival records
(University of Winnipeg, 2016)
The Canadian boreal forest has been developing since the end of the last glaciation approximately 10,000 years ago. During this time, fire has modified the development of the forest by altering species distribution, stand ...
Legendre Moments Explorations via Image Reconstruction
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-06-29)
Legendre Moment has been applied in image reconstruction since early years. In this research, a numerical integration method is proposed to improve the computational accuracy of Legendre moments. To clarify the improved ...
Cis-Regulatory divergence and expression of ryanodine receptor paralogues in Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-12)
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large homotetrameric proteins that in mammals are encoded by three genes: RyR1 in skeletal muscle; RyR2 in cardiac and smooth muscle; and RyR3 which is expressed in a diversity of cell types. ...
A Comparative Study of Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) Gene Expression Levels in the Basal Ray-Finned Fish, Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) and the Derived Euteleost Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-09)
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate the controlled release of intracellular stores of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This release of calcium, triggered by membrane-depolarization, is responsible for initiating ...
