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 2019
Cellular automata consistently grow in relevance to engineering and science as computation becomes more important for design and theoretical analysis. Although cellular automata have been used for a variety of tasks a means of representing objects has not yet been devised. This is a severe...

Modular classrooms have been increasingly used to accommodate fluctuations in student enrollment in schools. Request for proposal (RFP) is a tool to communicate with the bidders specifying the main requirements of the project. The RFP communicates the requirements for coordination between...

The world offers unprecedented amounts of data in real-world domains, from which we can develop successful decision-making systems. It is possible for reinforcement learning (RL) to learn control policies offline from such data but challenging to deploy an agent during learning in safety-critical...

We propose a framework for semi-automatically verifying relational database schema mappings for data exchange. Schema mappings for data exchange formally describe how to move data between a source and target database. State-of-the-art schema mapping tools propose several mappings, but require...

A Framework for Synthesis of Musical Training Examples for Polyphonic Instrument Recognition
DownloadFall 2018
Music information retrieval (MIR), an interdisciplinary field involving the classifying or detection of structure in music, is essential for processing, indexing, querying and making recommendations from the vast amount of musical data available on the web and in audio library collections. Deep...

A framework for the assessment and management of post-traumatic symptomatology in the aftermath of critical illness through music and sound interventions
DownloadFall 2022
Background: Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a major long-term complication of critical illness for both patients and their families, causing significant loss of function and worsening quality of life. Therefore, early detection and treatment of PICS morbidities is required to minimize...

A Framework for Vibration based Damage Detection of Bridges under Varying Temperature Effects using Artificial Neural Networks and Time Series Analysis
DownloadFall 2015
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has become a very important area in civil engineering for evaluating the performance of critical civil infrastructure systems such as bridges. One of the most important issues with continuous SHM is the environmental effects (such as temperature, humidity, wind)...
