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.

Fall 2021
Terahertz (THz) radiation is a non-ionizing form of electromagnetic (EM) energy that occupies a broad frequency region at the interface between conventional microwave and infrared bands. The strong coupling between THz excitations and natural oscillatory dynamics in biological systems has...

Diagnostic Applications of Microarrays and Gene Expression in Transplants and Native Organs
DownloadFall 2020
There is a major unmet need for improved accuracy and precision in the diagnoses of transplant rejection and diseases causing tissue injury. Diagnoses relying on histologic assessments and visual assessments demonstrate significant variation between expert observers (as represented by low kappa...

Identification and Validation of a Common Molecular Signature of Progressive Fibrosis in Human Livers
DownloadSpring 2020
Over 25% of the world population suffer from chronic liver disease. Most common causes are long-term viral infections, alcohol abuse, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity, diabetes or hyperlipidemia. Chronic liver disease due to any cause is characterized by...

Impact of carbohydrates and carnocyclin A on growth and gene expression of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadSpring 2024
L. monocytogenes is the foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, which has a high fatality rate of 20 to 30%. L. monocytogenes is often associated with ready-to-eat food products. Therefore, techniques to control growth of this organism are needed for the safety of these foods....

Investigation of mRNP export kinetics and gene expression regulation by the DEAD-box protein Dbp5p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2019
The intricate architecture of the eukaryotic cell, which includes the partitioning of the cell into discrete membrane bound organelles, necessitates that various cargos must cross the nuclear envelope (NE). Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large macromolecular assemblies embedded within the NE...

Fall 2020
Dispersal by flight is a complex life history phase in many insects that is essential to gene flow and range expansion. Many elements contribute to realized dispersal, including biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, as well as intrinsic factors such as morphology, physiology and behavior....

Fall 2017
The nucleus is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. It segregates the genetic material from the cytoplasm. The nucleus is encapsulated by the nuclear envelope which is perforated with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), macromolecular structures formed by proteins termed nucleoporins (Nups). NPCs and...
