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 2014
Two types of robust designs, robust design against a misspecified response function and robust design against autocorrelation, are reviewed in the first chapter of this dissertation. Among robust designs against autocorrelation, this dissertation focuses on V-robust designs. Chapter 2 reviews and...

Fall 2014
This thesis develops an efficient quantile-adaptive framework for linear and nonlinear variable screening with high-dimensional heterogeneous data. Inspired by the success of various variable screening methods, especially in the quantile-adaptive framework, we develop a more efficient variable...

Fall 2021
In this thesis, I developed the ideas of applying the variational method in geometric mechanics to the porous media described as solid elastic materials with embedded ideal (incompressible) fluid, also known as Eulerian fluid. The work includes four chapters and a conclusion. In the Introduction,...

Fall 2010
This thesis is based on three papers on selected topics in Asymptotic Geometric Analysis. The first paper is about the volume of high-dimensional random polytopes; in particular, on polytopes generated by Gaussian random vectors. We consider the question of how many random vertices (or ...

Spring 2016
In this thesis, we first introduce two basic problems of filter, the nonlinear filtering and model selection problem. We show that both of them can be solved by the unnormalized filter approach. Then several web based particle filter algorithms will be discussed. We extend the resampled and...

Fall 2013
One of the main aims in this thesis is to establish analogues of the classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) inequality for weighted orthogonal polynomial expansions (WOPEs) on the unit sphere, the unit ball and the simplex. An optimal condition for which this inequality holds is obtained....
