Screening Refugees: Mennonite Central Committee and the Postwar Environment
(Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana, 2022-07)In the last few years, MCC has undergone an intense period of introspection as it reconsidered its role as a post-World War II refugee resettlement organization. After the end of the war, Mennonite Central Committee provided ... -
From Controversy to Celebration: How the 1995 Relocation of Marcien Lemay's Riel from the Manitoba Legislature to Saint Boniface Impacted Its Public Reception
(Institute of Urban Studies, University of Winnipeg, 2022-06)In 1970, when the Manitoba government commissioned a statue of Louis Riel, one of Canada’s most significant (and most contentious) historical figures, the public expected a certain level of controversy. Commemorating an ... -
Leveraging Guided Backpropagation to Select Convolutional Neural Networks for Plant Classification
(2022-05-11)The development of state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) has allowed researchers to perform plant classification tasks previously thought impossible and rely on human judgment. Researchers often develop ... -
A fast MOSFET rf switch for low-field NMR and MRI
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)TRansmit Array Spatial Encoding (TRASE) MRI uses trains of rf pulses alternately produced by distinct transmit coils. Commonly used coil switching involving PIN diodes is too slow for low- and ultra-lowfield MRI and would ... -
3D Convolutional Neural Networks for Solving Complex Digital Agriculture and Medical Imaging Problems
(University of WinnipeUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-06)3D signals have become widely popular in view of the advantage they provide via 3D representations of data by employing a third spatial or temporal dimension to extend 2D signals. Predominantly, 3D signals contain details ... -
Developing Criteria to Prioritize Rapid Removal of American Elm Trees Infected with Dutch Elm Disease
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-10)During late summer and early fall in Manitoba, adult native elm bark beetles (NEBB) that carry Dutch Elm Disease (DED) emerge from brood galleries in the canopy and upper trunk of infected elm trees and move to the base ... -
Exploring Deep Neural Networks for Plant Image Classification
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-04)Automatically distinguishing different types of plant images is a challenging problem relevant to both Botany and Computer Science disciplines. Plant identification at the species level is a computer vision task called ... -
Unheard Voices: Healing Stories of Reclamation and Rebuilding for Families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people who have not been involved in the National Inquiry
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021)This work uncovers the stories of relatives who have been impacted by the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S) in Canada, who have not been involved in the National Inquiry ... -
Chief Paskwa’s Pictograph: Revisiting Treaty Four Through an Anishinaabe Philosophy
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-02-23)This research provides an understanding of Treaty Four 1874 through an Anishinaabe philosophy using Anishinaabe (Ojibway) research methods. Prior research conducted has been done by primarily non-Anishinaabeg, therefore, ... -
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution, and neural networks are known ... -
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation using Satellite Images for Significantly Different Infrastructure Objects
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-03-28)Deep learning has become one of the most efficient computer vision tools in recent years. The success and variety of deep learning semantic segmentation models inspired scientists in the remote sensing domain to apply them ... -
Surveys and Other Methods in Action Research
(2022-02-02)This session presented by Dr. Jerry Buckland focused on providing insight into how to conduct action-oriented research (ARM) and surveys. It looked at how ARM is an approach to research that seeks to inform effective action. ... -

Using Machine Learning to Improve Neutron Tagging Efficiency in Water Cherenkov Detectors
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-11-25)When an anti-neutrino collides with a proton in the atomic nucleus, it yields an anti-lepton and a free neutron. In a water Cherenkov neutrino detector like Super-K or the next generation Hyper-K, the free neutron is ... -
Analysis of Impact of Alcohol on Brain's Activity
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-11-30)Electroencephalography is an electrophysiological monitoring process to capture electrical activity on the scalp that has been shown to represent the macroscopic activity of the surface layer of the brain underneath. It ... -
Cubical homology-based Image Classification - A Comparative Study
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-12-23)Persistent homology is a powerful tool in topological data analysis (TDA) to compute, study and encode efficiently multi-scale topological features and is being increasingly used in digital image classification. The ... -
