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
In the United States, investors of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds are required to pay tax on the capital gains that their funds have made throughout the year. However, ETFs are able to avoid making taxable capital gains by taking advantage of a legal loophole, subsequently...

Field Cancerization is a hypothesis for the formation of cancer in certain types of tissues. It proposes the idea that a tumour can form in a “field” of cells that are predetermined for the development of cancer. Further, it is hypothesized that these fields are mainly caused by the onslaught of...

Spring 2024
Efficient algorithms for computing linear convolutions based on the fast Fourier transform are developed. A hybrid approach is described that combines the conventional practice of explicit dealiasing (explicitly padding the input data with zeros) and implicit dealiasing (mathematically accounting...

Fall 2017
We give an explicit criterion for when a toric GIT quotient is a stacky vector bundle over a projective base. That is given a charge matrix satisfying a certain property, we construct a projective base such that the semi-stable locus of the original GIT quotient is a G-equivariant vector bundle...

Fall 2014
Hyperinterpolation on the unit sphere of the Euclidean space was proposed by Sloan in 1995. But pointwise convergence in the uniform form can not be achieved by hyperinterpolation. Reimer later proposed the generalized hyperinterpolation, which has the advantages that uniform convergence for all...

Let n ≥ 3 and B ⊂ ℝⁿ. The Illumination Conjecture states that the minimal number I(B) of directions/‘light sources’ that illuminate the boundary of a convex body B, which is not the affine image of a cube, is strictly less than 2ⁿ. The conjecture in most cases is widely open, and it has only been...

In this thesis, we study the impact of random times to model and manage unpredictable risk events in the financial models. First, as a generalization of the classical Neyman-Pearson lemma, we show how to minimize the probabil- ity of type-II-error when the null hypothesis, alternative and the...

Imperfect Hedging on Equity-Linked Life Insurance with Market Constraints: Stochastic Interest Rate and Transaction Costs
DownloadSpring 2014
Equity-linked life insurance contracts are a type of investment product issued by insurance companies to provide the insured with more appealing benefits, compared with the traditional insurance policy. Such benefits are not only linked to the performance of the underlying investments in the...
