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.

Protein Quality Control Systems of the Thick Filament Protein Myosin in Zebrafish Skeletal Muscle Assembly and Maintenance
DownloadFall 2019
Skeletal and cardiac muscle function is dependent on the proper assembly and maintenance of the smallest contractile unit of striated muscle, the sarcomere. The sarcomere is composed of hundreds of proteins and associated factors, each of which must be properly folded, inserted into the...

Proteolysis autoregulates expression of the cyanobacterial DEAD-box RNA helicase CrhR, in response to change in growth temperature
DownloadFall 2013
The DEAD box cyanobacterial RNA helicase redox, CrhR, in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is induced in response to environmental stress conditions causing reduction of the redox status of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, with temperature being one of the major conditions commonly...

Proteomic analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum) whole roots and cell walls under water-deficit stress
DownloadSpring 2011
Wheat plants are affected by water-deficit stress in various regions of the world resulting in reduced crop productivity and thus decreased food production. To better understand the protein changes of water-deficit stress in wheat roots, comparative proteomics was performed using 2D gel...

Fall 2022
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate a variety of normal cellular processes, many of which are conserved across eukaryotes and prokaryotes. One PTM, protein glycosylation with the reversible modification of O-GlcNAc, is well studied in eukaryotes. However, evidence for its existence...

Quantitative evaluation of environmental Vibrio cholerae population dynamics over temporal and spatial scales
DownloadFall 2019
Cholera, a severe life-threatening waterborne diarrheal disease, has been endemic to the Ganges delta for centuries. Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of this disease, is a natural inhabitant of brackish water. Amongst the 200 serogroups identified so far, only O1 and O139 were found...

Rapid thaw-driven geomorphic change transforms fluvial, sedimentary, and biogeochemical environments in the Willow River, NT
DownloadSpring 2023
The effects of global climate change are acute in permafrost environments. In the western Canadian Arctic, permafrost degradation of ice-rich slopes is resulting in the development of thermokarst and other forms of mass wasting, which transports previously frozen materials into aquatic systems....
