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 development and biomechanics of theropod teeth and comparisons with other reptiles: a functional analysis
DownloadSpring 2012
Teeth are important for taxonomic studies. They are often the only remains found of certain vertebrates in the fossil record. This is because they are more resistant to weathering than most bones, they are small, and they are generally abundant. Most reptiles have homodont dentition, and the...

The effect of torso mass in direct head impacts using a Hybrid III neck and a novel surrogate neck model
DownloadSpring 2023
Concussions are one of the most common injuries in sport and can result in detrimental long-term health effects. To reduce the severity of concussion and head injury, protective headgear has been implemented and is continually evaluated to minimize head kinematics after impact. For investigation...

Fall 2010
The jaw musculature of Champsosaurus has been enigmatic since the taxon was first described. The extant phylogenetic bracketing method is used to determine the morphology of the jaw adductor musculature. Rotational mathematics is used to calculate the muscle forces, torques, angular...

Tibial torsion influences lower body joint kinematics and kinetics in women with anterior cruciate ligament injury during squatting and landing
DownloadFall 2016
External tibial torsion is an individual anatomical variation in the leg segment that alters musculoskeletal alignment which may increase risk of ACL rupture; however, the effect of external tibial torsion on lower body kinematics in healthy and ACL injured populations is underreported. The...

Towards Clinical Testing of Intraspinal Microstimulation for Restoration of Walking after Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2019
The overall goal of this thesis was to advance intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) towards clinical testing for the purpose of restoring walking after spinal cord injury. ISMS implants focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury by activating the intact spinal motor networks below the...
