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.

Mathematical modelling of the effect of low-dose radiation on the G2/M transition and the survival fraction via the ATM/Chk2 pathway
DownloadSpring 2020
Radiation therapy is an important component of cancer treatment. It consists of applying ionizing radiation to kill cells by damaging their DNA and reducing their ability to reproduce and survive. It is reasonable to think that more radiation causes more damage and kills more cells. However, in...

In this thesis, we explore the spatial dynamics of viral infection within tissue through mathematical modelling, aiming to understand the impact of virus spread on both cancerous and healthy tissue. Specifically, we investigate how spatial patterning and heterogeneity influence viral infection...

Mathematical Models and Inverse Algorithms for Childhood Infectious Diseases with Vaccination - Case Studies in Measles
DownloadFall 2014
Children are at a high risk of infection since they have not yet developed mature immunity. Childhood infectious diseases, such as measles, chicken pox and mumps, remain epidemic and endemic around the world. Yet, their dynamics are still not fully understood. SIR-type models have been proposed...

Fall 2014
Given an algebraic group G over a field k and a k-algebra R, the role of maximal abelian k-diagonalizable subalgebras (MAD for short) of G(R) is the same as that the split maximal torus play in G(k). Let G be a reductive group such that the derived subgroup is simply connected and let Spec(R) be...

Fall 2022
From the mechanical processes that produce the convolutions in the human brain needed for complex thought, to the precise and controlled movements derived by intuitive calculations of body position in figure skating, mechanics plays a role in everything we do. In this thesis, we apply and examine...
