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.

Dosimetry and Biological Studies for Microbeam Radiation Therapy at the Canadian Light Source
DownloadFall 2015
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a pre-clinical type of radiation therapy that uses an array of high-dose microbeams to treat solid tumours. An intense, quasi-parallel synchrotron beam is collimated to create microbeams several 10s of μm wide, and separated by 100s of μm. Animal studies...

Efficient data acquisition, transmission and post-processing for quality spiral Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DownloadFall 2011
Spiral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has traditionally presented more technical and computational challenges compared to its traditional Cartesian counterpart, notably a susceptibility to blurring artifacts, especially when scan parameters are non-optimal, and a heavier computational load both...

Spring 2017
Hybrid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiation therapy devices are capable of imaging in real-time to track intrafractional lung tumour motion during radiotherapy. In the real time tumour tracking treatment scheme, MR images are acquired in real time, then the tumour target is localized...

Spring 2023
The rotating B0 linac-MR is a new type of radiotherapy treatment machine that combines radiation delivery from a linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for real-time tumour tracking. This kind of combined technology aims to achieve tighter margins in cancer...
