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 2022
Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) have rapidly evolved since their neuroscience beginnings. These models efficiently and accurately classify images by optimizing the model’s hidden representations to these images through training. These representa- tions have been shown to resemble neural data...

Fall 2009
Informative random censoring survival data are often seen in clinical trials. However, the methodology to deal with this kind of data has not been well developed due to difficulty of identifying the information. Several methods were proposed, for example, by \citet{Sia1}. We use simulation...

In both health and disease, cells interact with one another through cellular adhesions. Normal development, wound healing, and metastasis all depend on these interactions. These phenomena are commonly studied using continuum models (partial differential equations). However, a mathematical...

Fall 2019
Integrodifference equations are a common tool used in ecology to model the spread of populations. In this thesis, I explore the neutral genetic patterns formed by range expansions and how dispersal-reproduction trade-offs impact the spread of populations. In Chapter 2, we investigate the inside...

Fall 2010
In Chapters 1 and 2, we introduce the definition of interpolating refinable function vectors in dimension one and high dimensions, characterize such interpolating refinable function vectors in terms of their masks, and derive their sum rule structure explicitly. We study biorthogonal refinable...

Fall 2011
Let H be a hypergroup with left Haar measure. The amenability of H can be characterized by the existence of nets of positive, norm one functions in L^1(H) which tend to left invariance in any of several ways. In this thesis we present a characterization of the amenability of H using...

Spring 2011
The first part of the thesis studies invariant subspaces of strictly singular operators. By a celebrated result of Aronszajn and Smith, every compact operator has an invariant subspace. There are two classes of operators which are close to compact operators: strictly singular and finitely...

Fall 2018
The Hodge conjecture can be formulated in terms of Algebraic Cycles Groups. That is, Hodge conjecture state that every Hodge class on X is algebraic. This tells us that is worthwhile to explore the complexity of the Algebraic Cycle Groups. On the other hand, it turns out that we can study...
