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.

Categories of Weight Modules for Unrolled Quantum Groups and Connections to Vertex Operator Algebras
DownloadFall 2020
Recently, numerous connections between the categories of modules $\mathrm{Rep}{\langle s \rangle} \mcM(r)$ for the singlet vertex operator algebra $\mcM(r)$ and $\mathrm{Rep}{wt}\overline{U}q^H(\mathfrak{sl}2)$ for the unrolled restricted quantum group $\overline{U}q^H(\mathfrak{sl}2)$ at $2r$-th...

Fall 2014
We study the widespread logarithmic distribution of first significant digits and significands of data sets (referred to as Benford’s Law ) in the context of dynamical systems. Using recent tools and conditions under which a recursively defined sequence is Benford via the classical theory of...

Characterizing Population Heterogeneity of Salmonella Motion in Mucosal Environments Using Stochastic Modeling and the EM Algorithm
DownloadFall 2022
Salmonella are pathogenic bacteria that infect many species including humans. This pathogen thrives in the gastrointestinal track of their hosts and propel themselves in mucus with motion structures called flagella. Each cell has multiple flagella that can rotate either synchronously, resulting...

In the Journal of Algebra 323(2010) R. Barrington Leigh et al. derive the characters of the group of invertible 2 x 2 matrices over the integers modulo a power of an odd prime. We will generalize to certain local rings, and take quadratic extensions of this ring , by adjoining the root of a...

We determine the decomposition of the Chow motive of a Del Pezzo surface S of degree 5 or 6 with a K-rational point pt : K → S into a direct sum of Chow motives. In each case, we give a Gal (K = K)-permutation resolution of the Picard group Pic (K x KS) and deduce that there is some étale algebra...

Fall 2010
Missing data is always a problem when it comes to data analysis. This is especially the case in anthropology when sex determination is one of the primary goals for fossil skull data since many measurements were not available. We expect to find a classifier that can handle the large amount of...

Spring 2016
Flows on normed spaces can be classified using flow equivalences --- maps on the space with the property that the structure of one flow is converted into the structure of another flow. Of particular interest are classifications that arise from flow equivalences that are either homeomorphisms or...

Survival data is mostly analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model to identify factors associated with survival time of patients. However recently random survival forest (RSF), a non-parametric method for ensemble estimation constructed by bagging of classification trees for survival data, is...
