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.

Zero-Sequence-Voltage-Based Detection and Localization Schemes for False Data Injection Attacks in Multiphase Power Distribution Systems
DownloadFall 2022
Modern power systems are vulnerable to false data injection attacks (FDIAs) due to the widespread applications of two-way communication networks for system operation and control. Diagnosing such malicious attacks are of great significance for the resilient operations of power systems. Firstly, to...

Zic transcription factors regulate retinoic acid metabolism during zebrafish neural development
DownloadSpring 2012
Retinoic acid (RA) has a crucial role in embryonic nervous system development - controlling anterior-posterior patterning, neural differentiation, and cell proliferation. During zebrafish embryogenesis, levels of RA are tightly regulated by the combinatorial action of synthesis and degradation...

Acting as a co-factor for hundreds of enzymes, zinc (Zn) is an essential trace metal required for organismal success across all phyla. When aquatic organisms such as fish are Zn deficient, growth, metabolism, and health are all negatively impacted. However, Zn in excess may also impair overall...

Fall 2024
Electrochromism is the phenomenon where the optical transmittance or absorbance of a material changes under an applied electric potential. When a voltage is applied to an electrochromic material, the optical properties of the material are altered in a reversible fashion. Owing to their optical...

Zinc in Precambrian iron formations: The record, partitioning, diagenetic effects and implications for eukaryotic metallome evolution
DownloadFall 2013
Zinc is amongst the most important trace elements for eukaryotes. Previous work has suggested it to have been at biolimiting concentrations for much of the Precambrian, thereby limiting eukaryotic evolution. Yet, the iron formation (IF) record, a critical proxy for paleomarine conditions, has...

Zooarchaeological Analysis of Avian Skeletal material in Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Mortuary Contexts, Cis-Baikal, Siberia
DownloadSpring 2013
During the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in Cis-Baikal, Siberia, human groups inhabiting the region interred their deceased with a variety of objects, including modified and unmodified avian skeletal elements. Archaeological excavation of graves in the Shamanka II, Lokomotiv, and Ust’-Ida...
