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.

Characterization of Athabasca asphaltenes separated physically and chemically using small-angle X-ray scattering
DownloadFall 2010
Athabasca asphaltenes were characterized using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with synchrotron radiation. Two methods were used to separate asphaltenes from Athabasca bitumen. Conventional chemical separation by precipitation with n-pentane, and physical separation realized by passing...

Fall 2010
A study was conducted to evaluate the properties and processes influencing the rate and magnitude of volume decrease and strength gain for oil sand fine tailings resulting from a change in bitumen extraction process (caustic versus non-caustic) and the effect of adding a coagulant to caustic fine...

Effect of Near-Wall Turbulence on Selective Removal of Particles from Sand Beds Deposited in Pipelines
DownloadFall 2012
A large-scale experimental facility was designed, constructed, and operated to study multiphase flow of solid-liquid mixtures (i.e., slurry flow) in horizontal pipelines. Trains of discrete lenticular deposits (LDs) and continuous beds were identified and studied in detail, representing two...

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of NaCl Additive on the Formation and Evolution of Particles in a Diffusion Flame
DownloadSpring 2017
Formation and evolution of nano-particles in a laminar co-flow methane diffusion flame were investigated under two conditions: a pure methane flame and a methane flame doped with NaCl particles. Samples of nano-particles from different heights above the burner were extracted by a probe sampling...

Modification of pulse starch properties by nanoparticulation and phosphorylation techniques
DownloadFall 2021
The global demand for plant-based protein is fast growing. This has resulted in significant expansion of pulse grain fractionation and value-added processing operations that primarily focus on protein refining. Pulse starches, as the major by-product of those operations, remain underutilized...
