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.

Development and Application of Quantitative Gradient-Echo MRI Techniques for Assessment of Iron and Myelin in the Multiple Sclerosis Brain
DownloadFall 2018
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease of the Central Nervous System that results in demyelination and neuronal/axonal loss. Along with clinical evaluation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold standard modality for diagnosing and monitoring MS,...

Fall 2013
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable imaging modality and is commonplace in diagnosing, evaluating, and understanding the pathobiology of many neurological disorders. Current methods are helpful in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) but fail to provide useful longitudinal...

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tractography of the Fornix in Pediatric and Adult Multiple Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2024
The fornix is the main white matter output tract of the hippocampus and part of the limbic system, which is involved in aspects of memory and cognition. High-resolution, fluid-suppressed diffusion tensor imaging tractography has identified marked volume and diffusion abnormalities of the fornix...

Spring 2016
Quantitative transverse relaxometry is an MRI method that has shown promise for study of iron accumulation and demyelination in healthy brain and in associated neurological disorders. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one such neurodegenerative disorder in which iron accumulation in deep grey matter...
