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.

An intelligent framework for computer-aided automation and optimization of Light-Frame Building manufacturing process
DownloadSpring 2019
The growth of panelized construction in North America’s building construction sector has allowed for the emergence of a viable alternative to traditional construction methods. Panelized construction has proven to be a promising method due to its use of off-site manufacturing technology, which...

Spring 2022
Camana Calderon, Fernando Agustin
Drilling is the primary source of geological information in the form of rock samples for geological logging and chemical assays. There are data from multiple drilling types in an open-pit mining operation, with unique technical features, costs, volume support, and sampling error and bias. The...

Fall 2021
Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SIGNAL CONDITIONING BOARDS AND SIMULATION OF THE IMPACT OF ELECTRONICS NOISE ON THE DEAP-3600 DARK MATTER DETECTOR
DownloadSpring 2013
The Dark matter Experiment with Argon and Pulse shape discrimination (DEAP-3600) aims to detect the interactions of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles colliding with the nuclei of argon atoms. As particles interact with the argon in the DEAP-3600 vessel, scintillation light is emitted and...

Fall 2024
Simulation is a powerful tool, critical to effective construction project management. They can provide decision support for different aspects of a construction project, but they have not been adopted widely in the construction industry as they are difficult to use. This thesis has developed...

Solving the radiative transfer problem in SPH simulations of contact binary mergers using FluxCal
DownloadFall 2019
V1309 Sco was observed in 2008 as a luminous red nova and presents as some of the best time-resolved spectral data of a contact binary merger. However, the parameters of its progenitor and the physics behind the morphology of its light curve remain uncertain. We use the Smoothed Particle...

Towards Realizing Melt-electrospun Bone Scaffolds: Theoretical Modeling and Simulation of Melt-Electrospinning as a Multi-body System
DownloadFall 2023
There has been a growing interest in integrating melt-electrospinning (MES) with three-dimensional (3D) fabrication methods to produce constructs with controlled internal micro-architectures. One application area that could benefit from this integration is bone tissue engineering (TE). Due to the...
