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.

Fall 2022
The proportion of renewable energy versus conventional generation has been increasing significantly worldwide due to enhanced environmental standards, bringing with it a host of technical and operational challenges. Restrictions on available transfer capacities leading to severe congestion of...

Fall 2015
We develop a method for searching for Hajós constructions. Our results include the discovery of new constructions for some well-known graphs, including the Grötzsch graph, Chvátal graph, and Brinkmann graph; also, we prove that the first two of these are shortest possible constructions. These are...

Spring 2017
This study focuses on the motion of a hollow flexible tube conveying a flowing fluid, also known as the garden-hose instability. This system becomes unstable when the fluid moving through the pipe exceeds a critical flow rate. This non-linear dynamical system involves complex fluid-structure...

Fall 2015
In this thesis, we present expositions of Gromov-Witten invariants, Hurwitz numbers, topological recursion and their connections. By remodeling theory, open Gromov-Witten invariants of C^3 and C^3/Za satisfy the topological recursion of Eynard-Orantin defined on framed mirror curve of toric...

On Integrating Element Based Heat Capacity Correlations into Process Simulation Software - Tackling Pseudo Component Definition
DownloadSpring 2014
In the present work, available direct and indirect methods for isobaric liquid heat capacity estimation are evaluated relative to experimental data. The study focuses on identification of systemic and random deviations between specific calculation approaches and experimental data, based on...

On intersection theory, Severi-Brauer varieties, and the intersection theory of Severi-Brauer varieties
DownloadFall 2019
This thesis investigates the Chow ring, and neighboring functors, of a Severi-Brauer variety. The approach taken here heavily depends on the computation of lower K-groups of a Severi-Brauer variety.We construct a functor (for an arbitrary scheme essentially of finite type over a field) that is a...
