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.

Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been used in many monitoring applications, e.g., environment monitoring. A WSN consists of a set of nodes, each having one or more sensors to measure a phenomena. Nodes are connected to each other using wireless radio communications. Typically, there...

The representations generated by many models of language (word embeddings, recurrent neural networks and transformers) correlate to brain activity recorded while people listen. However, these decoding results are usually based on the brain’s reaction to syntactically and semantically sound...

High throughput bio-technologies in chemistry experiments generate a huge amount of data. These data are awaiting to be analyzed for knowledge discovery. In this work, we have developed a web-based resource MyCompoundID for compound identification. Our base database contains 8,021 metabolite...

By eavesdropping on a user's query in a sensor network, an adversary can deduce both the user's current location and his/her location of interest. Issuing k queries instead of one (our "k-query" scheme) protects the privacy of the user's location of interest, but facilitates the adversary...

Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) has been a well-pursued research area for computer vision and robotics. Robustness and performance are fields that address the efficiency of SLAM solutions. Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) promises to find a hyperparameter set that displays the lowest...

Software can be considered a live entity, as it undergoes many alterations throughout its lifecycle. Therefore, code can become rather complex and difficult to understand. More specifically in object-oriented systems, classes may become very large and less cohesive. In order to identify such...
