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 2013
This study used non-intrusive, optical based measurement techniques in a parametric study of a flash atomized jet. The bench scale water spray was operated at pressure ratios ranging from 6.80-17.0 and degrees of superheat of 20-80 °C. This broad range of parameters allowed for the evaluation of...

Spring 2014
The process of microparticle formation from evaporating microdroplets is the main production method for many products. For most of these applications (especially pharmaceutical ones) the properties and morphology of the final dry particle have to be precisely tailored to ensure the proper...

A Particle Engineering Approach to the Development of Microparticles Suitable for Enteric Delivery of Biologics
DownloadFall 2021
Despite tremendous advances in the field of medical science, enteric infections still account for millions of deaths globally each year. Inaccessibility to clean drinking water, sanitation systems and proper healthcare infrastructure in developing parts of the world remains a huge obstacle to...

A Phenomenological Model for Self-rippling Energy of Free Graphene Monolayer and Its Application
DownloadSpring 2018
Several candidate phenomenological expressions are studied for self-rippling energy that drives ripple formation of free single-layer graphene sheets. One phenomenological expression is admittedbased on the stability criterion of periodic ripple mode, while all others are rejected because they...

Fall 2016
Wear-related reliability issues, especially slurry erosion has become one of the principal concerns for the process industries that use slurry pipelines for coarse particle transport. The study and development of an appropriate wear model for slurry pipelines is, therefore, essential from the...

Spring 2017
Delayed coking is an essential technology in the upgrading of heavy hydrocarbons in the Canadian oil sands for producing saleable liquid and gas products in order to sustain a viable national energy industry. Delayed coking units contain among the largest pressure vessels used in heavy industry...

A Semi-Autonomous Robotic-Based Repair System for Revolving Mechanical Components via Laser Metal Deposition Process
DownloadSpring 2023
Natural resources are finite, and the demand for such resources is increasing. Thus, an urgent need for systems to support the reusability and lifespan extendibility of products, such as those with a high demand and manufacturing cost, is essential. Furthermore, cylindrical components are widely...
