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.

An Alternate Indicator System for Nutrient Supply as Part of Ecosystem Function, a Component of Reclamation Success in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
DownloadFall 2017
Northeastern Alberta faces the challenges of reclaiming a vast area that has been disturbed my oil sands mining, cumulatively 896 km2 and increasing as of December 2013. The limited resources available for reclamation and expensive costs of undertaking the process necessitates that reclamation be...

Application of Principal Component Analysis for the Data Mining of High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Datasets
DownloadFall 2014
The release of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from tailings ponds is a major environmental issue that oil sands companies must consider over the next decade. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and biological treatment processes have been shown to be able to degrade contaminant compounds...

Fall 2014
In the upgrading of heavy feeds, it is essential to avoid the onset formation of mesophase, which is considered a precursor for coke formation. The formation of this aromatic dense phase leads to serious problems such as catalyst deactivation, limiting the vacuum residue conversion, and fouling...

Pattern Recognition of Time-dependent Cellular Response of Chemicals Based on Profile Shape Similarity
DownloadSpring 2014
As a potential approach to interpret Mode of Action (MoA), the shape of cellular response profiles associated with chemicals has been a key consideration. In this thesis, statistical pattern recognition methods using multiconcentration time-dependent cellular response profiles (TCRPs) are...
