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.

Spring 2016
One of the key obstacles to the effective use of mass spectrometry (MS) in high throughput metabolomics is the difficulty in interpreting measured spectra to accurately and efficiently identify metabolites. Traditional methods for automated metabolite identification compare the target MS spectrum...

Development and Application of Chemical Isotope Labeling Methods for Metabolomics Data Processing and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics
DownloadSpring 2016
Metabolomics is the study of chemical processes involving small-molecule metabolites in a given biological system. These small molecules are downstream outputs of cellular activities. An understanding of the metabolome change can help us to visualize perturbations in the genome or proteome from...

Development of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Methods for the Identification and Quantification of Acylcarnitines in Biological Samples
DownloadFall 2012
The field of metabolomics follows the Greek premise where metabolic changes are believed to be indicative of disease. Acylcarnitines, for example, can be dysregulated in the presence of various diseases including genetic metabolic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Liquid chromatography mass...

Metabolite Identification and Quantification in Biofluids Using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
Metabolomics, one of the branches of systems biology, is the comprehensive measurement of all the endogenous metabolites in a biological system. It can be applied in the areas of biomarker discovery and diagnosis of critical diseases and disorders, and can significantly increase our understanding...
