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.

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tractography of the Fornix in Pediatric and Adult Multiple Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2024
The fornix is the main white matter output tract of the hippocampus and part of the limbic system, which is involved in aspects of memory and cognition. High-resolution, fluid-suppressed diffusion tensor imaging tractography has identified marked volume and diffusion abnormalities of the fornix...

Evidence for the functional and structural differentiation of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus using DTI tractography
DownloadFall 2016
The inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), a major ventral white matter pathway, has been shown to be a crucial component of semantic (Moritz-Gasser, Herbet & Duffau, 2013) and lexical/orthographic (Vandermosten, Boets, Polemans, Sunaert, Wouters & Ghesquière, 2012) processing. However,...

Spring 2020
Mapping the macrostructural connectivity of the living human brain is one of the primary goals of neuroscientists who study connectomics. The reconstruction of a brain's structural connectivity, aka its connectome, typically involves applying expert analysis to diffusion-weighted magnetic...

Spring 2013
Recent evidence from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies reported that the structural integrity [fractional anisotropy (FA)] of white matter (WM) tracts in the ventral and dorsal regions of the brain is correlated with reading ability. It has thus been hypothesized that WM pathways in these...
