Exploring Hyperspectral Imaging and 3D Convolutional Neural Network for Stress Classification in Plants
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2023-12-06)Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has emerged as a transformative technology in imaging, characterized by its ability to capture a wide spectrum of light, including wavelengths beyond the visible range. This approach significantly ... -
Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of WinnipegUniversity 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 ... -
Coyotes, cattle, and native prey in southwest Saskatchewan
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2023-12-10)Native grasslands are home to a disproportionate share of species at risk, and typically consist of a mosaic of ranchland and protected parkland. Livestock carcasses can attract coyotes and potentially subsidize the coyote ... -
Post mating isolating barriers between Drosophila species and the role of seminal fluid gene expression
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2023-12-07)Reproductive genes are known to be among the fastest evolving category of genes within the genome, and males’ reproductive genes show a high divergence between species. A class of genes expressed in the male’s reproductive ... -
Estimated Detection Limits of Carboxylates in Palagonite by X-ray Diffraction and Reflectance Spectroscopy
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2023-09)Low molecular weight carboxylates (carbonates, oxalates, formates, and acetates) are either known or are expected to be present on the surface of Mars. Previous work has suggested these phases to be present in Gale Crater ... -
Strengthening energy security through community energy planning in Churchill, Manitoba
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-04)Imagine that it costs you $100 to fill your car’s gas tank, and no one outside your isolated community is working to improve things. This scenario is a reality for many northern remote communities like Churchill, Manitoba, ... -
Exploring Machine Learning Approaches to Precipitation Prediction: Post Processing of Daily Accumulated North American forecasts
(University of WinnipegUniversity 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 ... -
Evaluating the Residual Benefits of Soil Amendments in Reducing Phosphorus Losses to Snowmelt Runoff from Agricultural Fields
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2023-11-10)Phosphorus (P) in snowmelt runoff from agricultural fields across the Canadian prairies is a major source of nutrient pollution to freshwater bodies, such as Lake Winnipeg. The use of soil amendments, such as alum ... -
