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.

Application of Machine Learning in the Big Data for Broiler Breeders Recorded by a Precision Feeding System
DownloadSpring 2021
A precision feeding (PF) system developed at the University of Alberta is an innovation in precise nutrition and management for broiler breeders. The PF system can automatically feed individual broiler breeders and record vast amounts of real-time data regarding the feeding activity of individual...

Effect of Purge Gas Flow Rate and Oxygen Impurity on Heel build-up and Prediction of Heel build-up Using Machine Learning
DownloadFall 2021
Heel buildup, i.e., the accumulation of non-desorbed/non-desorbable adsorbates and their by-products on an adsorbent, during cyclic adsorption/regeneration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto activated carbon decreases its adsorption capacity and lifetime. In this this study, the effect of...

The histopathological examination of tissue biopsies is used as the gold standard by pathologists for diagnosing skin cancers, such as melanoma. Traditionally, the histopathological slides are examined by clinicians under a microscope. With recent advances in digital imaging and scanning, a glass...

Fall 2021
The spatiotemporal distribution of hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismicity is complicated and depends on various mechanical and diffusional parameters. Hydraulic fracture modeling can aid in understanding fluid-induced microseismicity. Nevertheless, the interaction of several physical...

Fall 2021
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes are an industrially mature low energy consumption pathway for gas separations. Due to their performance being linked to the separation media, they provide an additional degree of freedom for process design. They are difficult to accurately model due to...
