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.

the probability of successfully sending a required amount of flow, d, from node s to node t, which is the probability that the flow throughput is not less than d. The capacity (state) of each component can take discrete, non-negative integer values from 0 to its maximum capacity, following a certain
probability distribution. The overall objective of multistate network reliability is to provide engineers and managers useful tools to enhance their ability for design and maintenance of such networks. However, despite the increasing complexity of modern networks, the size of the network that can be analyzed
focus on one specific demand at a time. However, during the design phase or operation phase, we are often interested in system reliability with respect to multiple possible demand levels, in order to obtain a complete picture of the system capability. Thus, an efficient and systematic method is
