Anishinaabekwewag Teachings of Self-Determination
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-08-12)Since being excluded from decolonization efforts in the mid-twentieth century on the grounds that they were not colonized peoples but minorities living within sovereign states, Indigenous peoples have called for a broader ... -
How Comics Work: A 1BUW Production
(Department of English, University of Winnipeg, 2019)This booklet is an introduction to the content for the University of Winnipeg Fall 2019 course ONE BOOK UW (1BUW). -
Avelines's Hole: An Unexpected Twist in the Tale
(University of Bristol Spelaeological Society, 2019)Aveline’s Hole is the largest known Early Mesolithic cemetery in Britain, previously thought to have no evidence for subsequent burial activity. Thus, it came as some surprise when the results of a recent ancient human DNA ... -
Supporting Teachers in Times of Change: The Job Demands- Resources Model and Teacher Burnout During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(RedFame, 2020-10)Burnout in teachers has been broadly investigated, but no studies have investigated burnout in teachers during a pandemic. The current study is based on a survey of 1278 Canadian teachers and examined whether the Job ... -
Basic and Applied Aspects of Thermal Acclimation in Juvenile Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-08-06)Rising water temperatures are affecting the health and distribution of aquatic organisms. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), a popular freshwater sport fish adapted to cooler environments, is at risk to high temperature ... -
Reenvisioning an Energy Strategy for Manitoba: Planning for 2030 and Beyond
(University of Winnipeg, 2020)On March 10, 2020 the Re-envisioning an Energy Strategy for Manitoba: Planning for 2030 and Beyond workshop was held at The University of Winnipeg. The purpose of the event was to initiate a discussion amongst Manitobans ... -
A GPU-based Laplacian Solver for Magnetostatic Boundary Value Problems
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2019-10-04)Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) have more computing power than CPUs, and thus, GPUs are proposed as more efficient compute units in solving scientific problems with large parallelizable computational loads. In our ... -

A messy situation: effects of treated human wastewater on aquatic biota
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2019-04-22)Removal of personal care products (PCPs), pharmaceuticals and other substances from human wastewater is often unsuccessful and released back in to receiving water. This includes anti-psychotics and cosmetic additives, ... -
Injecting youth into peer-review to increase its sustainability: a case study of ecology journals
(Queen's University, 2010-02-15)The "tragedy of the reviewer commons", where the referee pool is being drained by an influx of manuscript submissions, is becoming an increasing problem for journals. To mitigate this growing concern, we suggest that there ... -
The influence of dissolved oxygen on winter habitat selection by largemouth bass: an integration of field biotelemetry studies and laboratory experiments
(University of Chicago Press, 2009-01-20)In this study, field biotelemetry and laboratory physiology approaches were coupled to allow understanding of the behavioral and physiological responses of fish to winter hypoxia. The biotelemetry study compared dissolved ... -
Long-term effects of surgically implanted telemetry tags on the nutritional physiology and condition of wild freshwater fish
(Inter-Research, 2009-03-09)Little is known about the long-term consequences of surgically implanted telemetry devices on wild fish, as they are rarely recaptured. We used wild largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides as a model to evaluate the long-term ... -
Spatial ecology of adult muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) in the urban Ottawa reach of the historic Rideau Canal, Canada
(EDP Sciences, 2010-07-19)The Rideau Canal in Canada was constructed in the 1800s to enable strategic military and commercial transport in eastern Ontario between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River. Today, the Rideau Canal is managed by Parks Canada ... -
Seasonal carryover effects of an experimental stressor in a wild teleost fish
(University of Chicago Press, 2010-10-08)Stress can have sublethal effects that are manifested either immediately or at spatial or temporal scales that are removed from the stress event (i.e., carryover effects). We tested whether a short-term elevation of plasma ... -
Osmoregulatory, metabolic and nutritional condition of summer-run male Chinook salmon in relation to their fate and migratory behavior in a regulated river
(Inter-Research, 2011-06-01)We studied the migratory success of male summer-run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Puntledge River on Canada’s Vancouver Island over a 3 yr period using biotelemetry and non-lethal physiological biopsy. ... -
Swimming activity of migrating Chinook salmon in a regulated river
(Inter-Research, 2012-10-17)Adult Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. have a fixed amount of energy available to fuel their freshwater spawning migration, so they must optimize their activity in a manner that conserves energy to ensure successful ... -
Physiological responses of three species of unionid mussels to intermittent exposure to elevated carbon dioxide
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2016-12-29)Freshwater systems are at risk owing to increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and one of the possible reasons for these elevations is the deployment of non-physical fish barriers to prevent invasive fish movements. Carbon ... -
Chill out: physiological responses to winter ice-angling in two temperate freshwater fishes
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2017-04-17)A large body of research has documented the stress response of fish following angling capture. Nearly all of these studies have taken place during the open-water season, with almost no work focused on the effects of capture ... -
Tolerance to Hypercarbia Is Repeatable and Related to a Component of the Metabolic Phenotype in a Freshwater Fish
(The University of Chicago, 2017-07-14)Freshwater fish may be exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) because of several actions, including anesthesia and high levels of aquatic respiration and potentially as the result of using high-CO2 plumes as a ...
