Abstract:
... Wind turbine power curve modeling plays an important role in wind energy management and power forecasting and it is often done based on parametric or non-parametric methods. As wind-power data are often noisy, even after polishing data using proper methods, fitted wind turbine power curves could be very different from the theoretical ones that are provided by manufacturers. For example, it might b ...

Abstract:
... A nonprofit tourism organization, Spirit Way Inc., has been attempting to brand Thompson, Manitoba as the “Wolf Capital of the World” (WCOTW). Success of this initiative, however, requires local support. It was hypothesized that general attitude toward wolves mediates relationships between existence value of wolves and three behavioral intentions, including support. The relationship between existe ...

Abstract:
... Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean is caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae, which can infect plants at all stages of growth when soil conditions favour pathogen development. In Manitoba, the acreage of commercial soybean has increased dramatically in recent years. Root and stem rot caused by P. sojae was first detected in commercial soybean in Manitoba in 2011. The objectives ...

A 4-year study was carried out to investigate the wintering ability of different June-bearing strawberry cultivars in the cold semi-arid continental climate of Manitoba between 2015 and 2018. The wintering index and yield t ...

Abstract:
... Understanding factors that influence the spatial and temporal distributions of blood parasites is important to help predict how host species and their parasites may respond to global change. Factors that may influence parasite distributions are land cover and host dispersal patterns, which may result in exposure of a host to novel parasites, or escape from parasites of their origin. We screened go ...

The westernmost extent of this forest region in Manitoba is expected to support at least some of the bryophyte species that occur further east within the climatic and vegetation boundaries of the region. However, very few bryophytes have been reported from ...
