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 2015
Pine sawdust biochars produced at 300 and 550 °C with and without steam activation were assessed for its sorption capacity for phosphate and copper (Cu (II)) in aqueous solutions using batch sorption experiments, including isotherm and kinetic studies. This study implied that pine sawdust...

Spring 2021
Hyperphosphatemia, elevated serum phosphate (Pi), is an electrolyte imbalance frequently associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There are many negative consequences of hyperphosphatemia including worsening renal function, secondary hyperparathyroidism,...

Depression of Lead-activated Sphalerite by Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate for Red Dog Mine Operation
DownloadSpring 2019
The inadvertent activation of sphalerite by lead ions have been noticed and studied for decades. In this study, flotation behavior of sphalerite upon lead activation was studied. Sodium hydrogen phosphate was applied as a main depressant to test its effect on improving Pb-Zn selectivity. Surface...

Spring 2013
Protein phosphorylation is a crucial component in physiological signal transduction pathways. It is estimated that one-third of all cellular proteins are modified through phosphorylation, and these pathways are regulated by kinase and phosphatase enzymes. Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is an...

Fall 2022
Phosphate is important for a variety of physiological functions, including the composition of bone via formation of the calcium-phosphate salt hydroxyapatite. Given that bone mineralization occurs very rapidly early in life, young mammals require high phosphate absorption to establish and...

Fall 2013
I have examined solute transport in two fishes at the whole-animal, tissue, and molecular levels. In the Pacific hagfish, I measured the kinetics of phosphate absorption in isolated gut, skin, and gill preparations, and implicated an NaPi-II transporter based on RT-PCR results and the kinetics of...
