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.

Spring 2014
Wireless sensing of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP) levels associated with Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, was first proposed in the late 1960’s. While much research has been applied in the intervening time, a suitable commercially available wireless IOP monitoring instrument remains...

A mathematical framework for expressing multivariate distributions useful in wireless communications
DownloadFall 2010
Multivariate statistics play an important role in performance analysis of wireless communication systems in correlated fading channels. This thesis presents a framework which can be used to derive easily computable mathematical representations for some multivariate statistical distributions,...

A Near-Optimal and Efficiently Parallelizable Detector for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Wireless Systems
DownloadSpring 2012
Broadband Wireless Communications and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have been the focus of much research over the past decade. A variety of MIMO detection algorithms have been proposed for detecting the data signals from the multiple received and demodulated baseband signals....

Spring 2021
With the booming development of the Internet, the amount of data stored in databases are enormously growing. Databases retrieve relevant information in response to users’ queries; the retrieved information is encoded in dynamically generated by databases in the form of structured data records. As...

A New Class of Resonant Metasurfaces Based on Highly Subwavelength Metamaterial-Lined Apertures and Metamaterial-Coated Discs
DownloadSpring 2019
This work presents analytical, numerical and experimental studies of a new class of resonant metasurfaces (MTSs), which may also be classified as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed MTS unit cells consist of circular aperture or disc resonators that are made...
