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.

    uncertainty band that meets the requirements of unbiasedness and fairness of the calibrated probabilities. The second development in this thesis is related to a probabilistic model for characterization of uncertainty in the 3D localized distribution of residual NAPL in a real site. A categorical variable is

    source geometry and hydraulic conductivity distribution. The central idea in this thesis is to develop a flexible modeling approach for characterization of uncertainty in residual NAPL dissolution rate and first-order biodegradation rate by tailoring the estimation of these parameters to distributions of

    defined based on the available CPT-UVIF data, while secondary data based on soil texture and groundwater table elevation are also incorporated into the model. A cross-validation study shows the importance of incorporation of secondary data in improving the prediction of contaminated and uncontaminated
