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.

A Study of Ensemble Machine Learning Model Architectures for Parkinson’s Disease Detection and Freezing of Gait Forecasting
DownloadFall 2021
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a major progressive neurological disorder and is extremely difficult to diagnose PD~\cite{pmid23039866} since there are no defined medical tests for this task. The existing approach involves a combination physical examinations, neuroimaging and demographic analysis...

We bridge the localization techniques that are based on proximity (near/far) information with those based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) information. An RSSI-based scheme can be mapped to proximity-based scheme by quantizing the RSSI values such they are represented by a single...
