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.

A Mixed Integer Linear Programming Optimization Model for Capturing Expert Planning Style in Interstitial Low Dose Rate Prostate Brachytherapy
DownloadSpring 2017
Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy is a minimally invasive form of radiation therapy, used to treat prostate cancer, and it involves permanent implantation of radioactive sources (seeds) inside of the prostate gland. Treatment planning in brachytherapy involves a decision making process for the...

Nakashima-Paniagua, Benjamin T.
Innovative products based on micro and nanotechnologies (MNT) have made rapid improvements in terms of functionality, cost and performance. Several developments based on these technologies have already benefited society greatly. However, many applications and devices based on these systems are...

Spring 2018
The span-restorable meta-mesh approach was previously proposed as a novel method for improving the capacity efficiency of span restoration in a sparse network. The fundamental idea behind this method is to route lightpaths that fully transit chains of degree-2 nodes onto logical bypass spans that...

Low Profile Corrugated Structures for Surface Wave Suppression and Multipath Mitigation in GNSS Antennas
DownloadFall 2021
Multipath interference is an error generating issue in high-accuracy global navigation satellite system (GNSS) applications. Since the propagation of surface waves along the surface of antenna structure is the root cause for reception of multipath signals in GNSS antennas, surface wave...

Fall 2009
The Dual Failure Restorability (DFR) problems involve the design of network topology to be restorable in the event of single and dual failures scenarios. We developed new integer linear programming (ILP) models to optimally design mesh topology networks with various survivability schemes; span...

Spring 2021
Optical transport network failures are destructive, costly and inevitable. Therefore, extensive work has been conducted on survivable network designs. Survivable network designs are primarily built around network span failures, and a common approach for improving network resilience against span...
