The Effect of Integrated Crop Management on Weed Phenology and Weed Persistance

Weeds can adapt to diverse crop management practices altering their growth, phenology (timing of developmental events such as emergence, flowering, seed production etc), and seed persistence (seed viability and dormancy). Managing herbicide resistance in weeds with integrated weed management and reducing greenhouse gas emissions with integrated nutrient management are becoming the two most important crop […]

Implementation of parallel and artificial intelligence techniques to solve power systems in a faster and more efficient way

Nowadays, the electrical systems have thousands of nodes. To simulate this kind of systems electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP) are often used. One of the widely used commercial programs available is PSCAD, which can simulate large networks. However, these kinds of systems could impose an important computational burden, and use a considerable amount of time to […]

Effects of post-COVID-19 on the integrated dynamic autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and skeletal muscle oxygenation regulation during acute exercise

This proposal focuses on determining whether post-COVID-19 and sex influence the integrative dynamic autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle oxygenation regulation during postural transitions and acute exercise. COVID-19 is considered an inflammatory storm affecting many physiological systems, especially older adults. COVID-19 may impact these dynamic integrative responses, compromising homeostatic regulation, rapid physiological adjustments, and exercise capacity. […]

Assessment of a manure additive in reducing GHG emissions from liquid hog manure

Livestock manure represent a significant source of GHG emissions in agriculture section of Canada. This project aims to assess the effectiveness of a manure additive in reducing N20 and CH4 emissions during the storage of liquid hog manure, as well as the carry-on effect on soil GHG emissions after the additive-treated manure being applied to […]

A transformative vision for Winnipeg’s inner city

Inner-city organizations in Winnipeg have long called for transformation of the policies and practices that created injustice for inner-city residents. This year’s State of the Inner City report uses precedent studies to identify funding models that foreground community leadership, and knowledge translation and community development events to celebrate the people and community organizations of the […]
