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.

The application of computer simulation to investigate drug absorption and bioavailability in disease states
DownloadFall 2015
Oral drug absorption relies mainly on the physicochemical drug properties and the interaction with the physiological environment of the body. These factors could be altered significantly under abnormal conditions and disease states. Identifying these changes can optimize drug therapy under these...

The Cardioprotective Role of the N-3 PUFA Metabolite 19,20-Epoxydocosapentaenoic Acid (19,20-EDP) in the Setting of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2022
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial ischemia occurs when a coronary artery is occluded and consequently blood supply to the heart is restricted depleting it of oxygen and nutrients. Although early myocardial reperfusion,...

The Dissolution Behavior of Ibuprofen and Griseofulvin in Bicarbonate Buffer Compared to Phosphate Buffer Using Intrinsic Dissolution Rate and Biphasic Dissolution
DownloadFall 2018
In the small intestine, bicarbonate is the main buffering system to adjust the pH after the gastric emptying to pH 5.5-6.8. Bicarbonate gathered some attention to be used as a dissolution media to better mimic the in-vivo environment. However, in vitro the evaporation of CO2(g) interferes with...

The effect of fluconazole on cytochrome P450 1B1, formation of arachidonic acid metabolites, and protection against angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy
DownloadFall 2018
Several studies have elucidated the role of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and their associated arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites in development of cardiac hypertrophy. CYP1B1 has been reported to have a major role in metabolizing AA into cardiotoxic metabolites, mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid...

Fall 2016
Background: The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory suggests there are small populations of cancer cells that has stem cell-like characteristics, such as self-renewal. These CSCs are thought to be responsible for initiating new tumors following metastasis. Platelets have also been implicated in cancer...
