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.

Effectiveness Evaluation Model for Frontline Worker Safety Intervention: An Exploratory Case Study of a Construction Prefabrication Company
DownloadFall 2016
Frontline foremen and workers play a critical role in implementing management’s safety policies and procedures. Despite the ultimate position in safety organization of frontline foremen and workers, variations in safety competency and acceptance level are often neglected, which leads to diverse...

Effects of Adsorbate Properties on Heel Buildup on Activated Carbon Fiber Cloth during Electrothermal Regeneration
DownloadSpring 2017
Automotive painting booths are a major source of volatile organic compounds’ (VOCs) in the automotive manufacturing sector. Adsorption on activated carbon (AC) has been widely used as a low cost and energy efficient VOC control method. A major challenge associated with the cyclic...

Effects of Cyclical Load Conditions on Wear Rate and Wear Scar in a Modified ASTM G65 Abrasion Test
DownloadSpring 2016
Wear is an incredibly complicated phenomenon that can occur in many different forms, through a number of modes, facilitated by a variety of mechanisms. Surface mining operations are particularly afflicted by abrasive wear; principally during the excavation process. Shovel geometry has been...

Effects of Nucleus Size and Position on the Response of the Lumbar Functional Spinal Unit L4-L5 to Complex Loading: Finite Element Analysis
DownloadSpring 2018
The response of the lumbar spine to mechanical load, a major contributing factor in Low Back Pain (LBP), depends on the geometry of the spinal structures. As nucleus size and position vary among individuals, along the spine, and with aging, understanding the effects of inter-individual variation...
