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.

Static data-flow analysis is a method of reasoning about program values without executing the program. A data-flow analysis that is context-sensitive, field-sensitive, flow-sensitive, and alias-aware can precisely and soundly answer points-to queries (e.g. what heap objects can variable v...

Understanding biochemical reactions inside cells of individual organisms is a key factor for improving our biological knowledge. Signaling pathways provide a road map for a wide range of these chemical reactions that convert one signal or stimulus into another. In general, each signaling pathway...

Commercial video game developers constantly strive to create intelligent humanoid characters that are controlled by computers. To ensure computer opponents are challenging to human players, these characters are often allowed to cheat. Although they appear skillful at playing video games,...

In this thesis, we propose a novel method for predicting the value of the radio frequency (RF) path loss exponent (PLE) from satellite remote sensing observations. The value of the PLE is required when designing wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring. By taking field path loss...

During collaborative software development, developers often use branches to add features or fix bugs. When merging changes from two branches, conflicts may occur if the changes are inconsistent. Developers need to resolve these conflicts before completing the merge, which is an error-prone and...

In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), brachytherapy (BT) remains the gold standard for boosting to curative doses in radiotherapy. Progress towards balancing target and routine tissue dosimetry for better clinical outcomes has been made possible by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided...

For more than 70 years, chemists have used Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterize the atomic structure and dynamics of molecules. Key to performing the NMR analysis of almost any molecule is a process called “chemical shift assignment”. This involves matching specific peaks...

Knowledge is central to intelligence. Intelligence can be thought of as the ability to acquire knowledge and apply it effectively. Despite being a subject of intense interest in artificial intelligence, it is not yet clear what the best approach is for an intelligent system to acquire and...

Language Modeling (LM) is often formulated as a next-word prediction problem over a large vocabulary, which makes it challenging. To effectively perform the task of next-word prediction, Long Short Term Memory networks (LSTMs) must keep track of many types of information. Some information is...
