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.

Spring 2018
The centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA)-electrometer system has been proposed as an alternative method of calibration for devices that measure black carbon. This system is proposed to replace the current calibration standard of NIOSH 5040. The repeatability and intermediate precision of the...

Repeatability of a novel prototype surrogate neck model developed for omni-directional head impacts
DownloadSpring 2022
Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...

Fall 2019
Introduction: State-of-the-art upper limb prosthetic devices are complex, with multi-articulating hands that can open and close on user command. These so-called myoelectric prostheses harness the signals of a user’s residual muscles to trigger a desired function, such as grasping an object....

Fall 2011
This current work investigates pore structure of various reservoir-rock materials using state-of-the-art microscopy such as micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and Focused Ion Beam-Scanning electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM). Novel sample preparation methods have been developed for such rock cores,...

Fall 2021
Demand of high traffic capacity and speed in wireless communication systems led to the fifth-generation (5G) technologies with high data rate, high reliability, and low power consumption over the millimeter-wave (mmW) spectrum. Recently, much attention has been focused on the design of...

Fall 2020
This dissertation looks at the response and recovery of turbulent pipeflow past square bar roughness elements with two heights at Reynolds numbers of 5000 and 156000. The response of turbulent pipeflow to multiple square bar roughness elements is also evaluated at the higher Reynolds number...

Response and Recovery of Turbulent Pipeflow Past Wall Changes Targeting Distinct Azimuthal Fourier Modes
DownloadFall 2021
This study focuses on numerical evaluation of the response and recovery of turbulent pipe flow to three-dimensional perturbed wall changes at a range of Reynolds numbers. These perturbations (pipe inserts) were designed based on distinct azimuthal Fourier modes corresponding to $m=3$ (Case I),...

Fall 2012
The size distribution, volatile mass fraction, effective density, mass concentration and mass-mobility exponent of particles from an inverted burner and a McKenna burner were measured with a Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) and a Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer (CPMA). Based on these...
