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.

Recently, a new accounting standard was established, namely the International Financial Reporting Standard 9, requiring banks to build provisions using forward-looking expected loss models. When there is a significant increase in credit risk of a loan, additional provisions must be charged to the...

BACKGROUND: Achieving an appropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) is important during pregnancy. Inadequate and excessive GWG have been linked to various negative pregnancy outcomes and future health issues for both the mother and fetus. One useful intervention is to provide individualized...

It has been proven in other sources that spectral curves, $(\Sigma,x,y)$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact Riemann surface, and meromophic functions $x$ and $y$ satisfy a polynomial equation (and subject to certain admissibility conditions), can be used with the topological recursion to construct the...

A well known result in probability is that convergence almost surely (a.s.) of a sequence of random elements implies weak convergence of their laws. The Ukrainian mathematician Anatoliy Volodymyrovych Skorohod proved the lemma known as Skorohod’s a.s. representation Theorem, a partial converse of...

Hernandez Castillo, Jose Jaime
We first recall the filtration on the higher Chow group of a complex smooth projective variety X as done by J. Lewis, and separately by M. Saito / M. Asakura and explain the various invariants (Mumford-Griffiths and de Rham), as well as the notion of arithmetic normal functions due to M. Kerr and...
