This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Evolution of Left ventricular Function and Its Tolerance of Tachycardia in Early Infancy: a Simultaneous Invasive and Noninvasive Assessment in Neonatal and Young Infant Piglets
DownloadSpring 2016
Background: The literature examining ventricular function of the neonate and young infant is fragmented. Furthermore, the clinical implications of the observed differences have been largely extrapolated from adult studies. Clinical echocardiography-based investigations at rest, for instance, have...

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Volume Calculations Using Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
DownloadSpring 2014
In a review encompassing 18 single- and multi-centre studies comparing echocardiography with magnetic resonance imaging, it was determined that three-dimensional echocardiography has greatly improved the calculation of left ventricular (LV) volumes. However, there is still a systematic...

Spring 2020
Background: Multi-view three-dimensional fusion echocardiography (M3DFE) has been shown to improve image quality compared to standard three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). The clinical application however has been limited due to the fact that suitable recordings require longer breath holds...

Preventable errors in the performance and reporting of echocardiography and right heart catheterization can lead to diagnosis errors for pulmonary hypertension with significant implications for patients
DownloadFall 2024
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common and PH subgroups have vastly different mortality and treatment, particularly pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) versus PH secondary to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and right heart...

Robotic Arm Assisted Multiple Apical-View 3D Fusion of Echocardiography for Enhanced Right and Left Ventricular Assessment and Measurement
DownloadFall 2024
Introduction: The RV's complex anatomy presents unique challenges for echocardiographic evaluation, often resulting in suboptimal image quality and diagnostic accuracy. LV has a regular, symmetrical shape compared to the RV, which simplifies the quantifications of its volumes. Traditional...

Two-Step Rigid and Non-Rigid Image Registration for the Alignment of Multi-View Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Sequences
DownloadFall 2024
Ultrasound is a widely used imaging modality, which provides continuous real-time imaging of the human heart, brain, liver, and many other organs. Accurate cardiovascular evaluation plays an important role in early disease diagnosis and echocardiography plays an important role in the assessment...
