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 2021
Initial solubilities for whole bitumen and bitumen cuts of light gas oil (LGO), heavy gas oil (HGO), and vacuum residue (resid) were measured in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and SC-CO2 modified with 5 or 15 mol% toluene. The initial solubility measurements were performed on a bench-scale...

Integer-Programming-Assisted Path-Float-Based Method for Time-Cost Tradeoff Optimization in Project Planning
DownloadFall 2019
In theory, time-cost tradeoff (TCT) optimization is a classic planning problem appealing to construction management; yet, existing analytical methods are found inadequate to make a significant impact in practice. Heuristic methods lack a theoretical basis to ensure arriving at optimum solutions...
