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.

Marcinkiewicz Strong Law of Large Numbers for Products of Long Range Dependent and Heavy Tailed Linear Processes
DownloadFall 2019
Classical methods of inference are often rendered inapplicable while dealing with data exhibiting heavy tails, which gives rise to infinite variance and frequent extremes, and long memory, which induces inertia in the data. In this thesis, we develop the Marcinkiewicz Strong Law of Large Numbers...

Market with transaction costs: optimal shadow state-price densities and exponential utility maximization
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis discusses the financial market model with proportional transaction costs considered in Cvitanic and Karatzas (1996) (hereafter we use CK (1996)). For a modified dual problem introduced by Choulli (2009), I discuss solutions under weaker conditions than those of CK (1996), and...

Mathematical modeling of HIV-1 therapeutic initiatives: shock and kill strategy in the brain and the natural control of the virus in the plasma
DownloadSpring 2024
This thesis is based on four main studies. The first two studies present a detailed methodology for completing dynamical system parameter estimation using Bayesian inference. The next two studies are about using this methodology to investigate critical human immunodeficiency virus-1 therapeutic...

Spring 2023
Since the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan City in December 2019, numerous model predictions on the COVID-19 epidemics in Wuhan have been reported. These model predictions have shown a wide range of variations. In our first study, we demonstrate that nonidentifiability in model calibrations using the...

Fall 2014
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV brain tumour. It is the most common brain malignancy and is extremely aggressive. Ionizing radiation plays a vital role in the treatment of this tumour. Growth of the GBM is sustained by a subpopulation of the tumour cells often called the glioma stem...

Fall 2010
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent human retrovirus characterized by life-long infection and risk of developing HAM/TSP, a progressive neurological and inflammatory disease. Despite extensive studies of HTLV-I, a complete understanding of the viral dynamics has been...
