Sliding Down Inclines with Fixed Descent Time: a Converse to Galileo's Law of Chords
(Canadian Mathematical Society, 2008-12) -
The Apostle of Reason: Hegel & The Desire for Emancipation in the 21st Century
(CT&T: Continental Thought and Theory, 2019-09-18)This article critically engages Todd McGowan's book, Emancipation After Hegel. Through McGowan's book, the author offers a Marxist-Hegelian interpretation of universal emancipation elaborated through a Lacanian psychoanalytic ... -
Signature-based perceptual nearness: Application of near sets to image retrieval
(Birkhäuser, 2013)This paper presents a signature-based approach to quantifying perceptual nearness of images. A signature is defined as a set of descriptors, where each descriptor consists of a real-valued feature vector associated with a ... -
Quantifying nearness in visual spaces
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Cybernetic vision systems can be deployed in problem domains where the goal is to achieve results similar to those produced by humans. Fundamentally, these problems consist of evaluation of image content between sets of ... -
Perception-based image classification: Framework for perception-based cybernetics
(Emerald Insight, 2010-08-24)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present near set theory using the perceptual indiscernibility and tolerance relations, to demonstrate the practical application of near set theory to the image correspondence problem, ... -
Neighbourhood-based vision systems
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)The problem presented in this paper is how to find similarities between digital images useful in design cybernetic vision systems. The solution to this problem stems from a neighbourhood based vision system. A neighbourhood ... -
Metric free nearness measure using description-based neighbourhoods
(Springer, 2013-02-26)The focus of this paper is on a metric free nearness measure for quantifying the descriptive nearness of digital images. Regions of Interest (ROI) play an important role in discerning perceptual similarity within a single ... -
The Brachistochrone Problem: Mathematics for a Broad Audience via a Large Context Problem
(Montana Council of Teachers of Mathematics & Information Age Publishing, 2008)Large context problems (LCP) are useful in teaching the history of science. In this article we consider the brachistochrone problem in a context stretching from Euclid through the Bernoullis. We highlight a variety of ... -
Localized Approaches to Ending Homelessness: Indigenizing Housing First.
(Institute of Urban Studies, 2019-08) -
"We are building a critical voice together": The second Nunavut Master of Education Program, 2010-2013
(Faculty of Education, University of Prince Edward Island, 2015)The creation of Nunavut opened many possibilities for Inuit educators to take on leadership, but it also meant that a wide range of knowledge and skills were required to meet qualifications for leadership at the community, ... -
The number of order–preserving maps of fences and crowns
(Springer, 1991-06)We perform an exact enumeration of the order-preserving maps of fences (zig-zags) and crowns (cycles). From this we derive asymptotic results. -
Counting endomorphisms of crown-like orders
(Springer, 2002-12)The authors introduce the notion of crown-like orders and introduce powerful tools for counting the endomorphisms of orders of this type. -
Measuring the nearness of layered flow graphs: Application to Content Based Image Retrieval
(IOS Press, 2016-03-01)Rough set based flow graphs represent the flow of information for a given data set where branches of these could be constructed as decision rules. However, in the recent years, the concept of flow graphs has been applied ... -
Automated LULC Map Production using Deep Neural Networks
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-17)This article presents an approach to automating the creation of land-use/land-cover classification (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ... -
Reconciliation, resilience and resistance in Inuit teachers' professional development and practices
(University of Aberdeen, 2018-08-11)In February 2017, 26 Inuit educators gathered in Nain, Nunatsiavut for the Inuit Education Forum. Teachers from each of the four Inuit regions in Canada were invited to share their experiences on education in Inuit Nunangat ... -
Opening spaces for learning and teaching through community-based teacher education
(University of Aberdeen, 2018-12-21)Following Nunatsiavut land claims on the Northeast Atlantic coast in Canada, Memorial University and the Nunatsiavut Government partnered to offer a community-based, Inuit-specific Bachelor of Education (IBED). This program ... -
A Deep Learning Framework: Land-Use/Land-Cover Mapping and Analysis using Multispectral Satellite Imagery
(Springer, 2019-07-17)In this article, we present an approach to land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping from multispectral satellite images using deep learning methods. The terms satellite image classification and map production, although used ... -
Ending or Obscuring Homelessness? Applying the White Racial Frame to Homeless Literature in Canada
(Institute of urban Studies, 2019-07-22)This paper summarizes existing literature on homelessness throughout Canada and then applies the White Racial Frame (WRF) to analyze homeless literature collected as part of two research projects to answer two questions: ... -
Liberating Knowledge at the Margins: Towards a Discursive-Transactional Research Paradigm in LIS
(Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship, 2019-05)This paper proposes an LIS research paradigm by which the transactional relationships between knowledge organization systems (KOS) and external scholarly discourses may be identified and examined. It considers subject ...
