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.

Molecular Mechanisms Used by Auxiliary Regulator NlpE to Signal the Cpx Envelope Stress Response in Escherichia coli
DownloadSpring 2017
The Cpx two-component system senses and mediates adaptation to envelope stresses in Escherichia coli. NlpE is an outer membrane lipoprotein that senses surface adhesion and signals the Cpx pathway. This work focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms used by NlpE to signal the Cpx pathway...

Molecular systematics of the greater fritillary butterflies (Nymphalidae: Speyeria): reduced representation sequencing, phylogeny, and incipient speciation
DownloadSpring 2020
Species delimitation and phylogenetic reconstruction are essential for understanding and categorizing lineage divergences, and ultimately species. Yet, because of the complexities underlying speciation, inferring these patterns and characterizing their sources has been a consistent challenge for...

Monitoring Ecosystem Dynamics in the Beaufort Sea using Stable Isotopes in Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) and Ringed Seals (Pusa hispida)
DownloadSpring 2019
Extensive declines in sea ice extent and thickness are occurring within the Arctic and are projected to continue in the future due to amplified polar warming. As a result, community composition and structure are changing within Arctic ecosystems. Animal diets are influenced by accessibility and...

Monitoring Macrophage Immune Gene Expression Profiles as an Early Indicator System for Examining the Bioactivity of Oil Sands Process Affected Waters
DownloadFall 2021
Oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) are by-products of bitumen (i.e. oil) extraction from the oil sands located in northern Alberta. These large volumes of water are held in tailings ponds and cannot be released due to their potential toxic effects. Overall, tailings ponds and mining...

Fall 2018
Terrestrial vegetation contributes strongly to dynamic biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of mass and energy, through activities such as photosynthesis, that help shape the Earth’s climate. The boreal forest is located in high latitudes and subject to large seasonal temperature fluctuations and a...
