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.

Concrete Masonry Compressive Strength Prediction using Mechanics-based Modelling and Gaussian Process Regression with Error Evaluation based on Experimental Data
DownloadFall 2023
The compressive strength of masonry is an essential mechanical parameter considering its influence on structural design. Among different types of masonry, hollow concrete block masonry is the most commonly used one in North America. Over the past decades, various methods were developed to...

Input Space Partitioning and Other Heuristics for Minimizing the Number of Corner Simulations During Design Verification
DownloadFall 2017
The continuing reduction in the feature sizes of the latest CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technologies allow faster, more compact, and more energy-efficient integrated circuits (ICs). On the downside, the performance of each transistor becomes harder and harder to characterise...

Robust Generalized Weighted Probabilistic Principal Component Regression with Application in Data-driven Optimization
DownloadSpring 2022
The operations of the plant may deviate from the initial design due to the uncertainties and changes in the several conditions as a result of market demand, operation conditions, and safety regulations over time. To maintain productivity, safety, and efficiency, operators should ensure the...
