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.

Spring 2014
In this thesis, we construct a non-local transport model that describes the evolution of microtubules (MTs) as they interact with motor proteins. MTs, whose organization is crucial for normal cellular development, have been found to organize into various patterns in vitro and in vivo through...

In this thesis we extend the work of Fabien Morel on Milnor-Witt K-theory over fields of characteristic not 2 to fields of characteristic 2.

Spring 2010
The purpose of this thesis is to give a classification of anisotropic algebraic groups over number fields of higher real rank. This will complete the classification of algebraic groups over number fields of higher real rank, which was begun by V. Chernousov, L. Lifschitz and D.W. Morris in their...

Fall 2021
In this note we present a construction which improves the best known bound on the minimal dispersion of large volume boxes in the unit cube. The dispersion of a subset of the cube is the supremal volume over all axis parallel boxes in the cube which do not intersect the given subset. The minimal...

Minimal Hellinger Deflators and HARA Forward Utilities with Applications: Hedging with Variable Horizon
DownloadFall 2013
This thesis develops three major essays on the topic of horizon-dependence for optimal portfolio. The first essay contributes extensively to the newest concept of forward utilities. In this essay, we describe explicitly three classes of forward utilities--that we call HARA forward utilities--as...

Fall 2012
This dissertation first reviews the construction of an optimal design for a straight linear regression model with uncorrelated errors when the experimenter seeks protection against the biases which will accrue if her straight line model is slightly erroneous. The optimal design is derived from...

Fall 2018
The thesis deals with the problem of minimization of Conditional Value at Risk within the context of Margrabe market under constraints on the initial capital available. We propose to approximate the distribution of the difference between two lognormal random variables using normal distribution...
