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.

Fall 2009
Particle distribution and settling in suspensions with non-Newtonian liquids agi- tated with a Rushton turbine in a lab-scale tank have been studied. The rheology of the non-Newtonian liquids can be described by the power-law, Bingham and Herschel-Bulkley fluid models. The dynamics of the...

Fall 2014
Interactions between droplets were studied using two lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs). The Shan-Chen LBM, in which repulsive forces between fluids maintain phase separation, was used to simulate systems with three immiscible components. The simulations demonstrated the three equilibrium...

Spring 2014
Introduction of a binding or reacting liquid into a gas-solid fluidized bed is common in industrial processes (e.g. fluid coking, catalytic cracking, granulation). Ability of the liquid to spread and the attractive effect on particles due to liquid bridge formation alter the fluidization behavior...

Simultaneous Gross Error Detection and Data Reconciliation Using Gaussian Mixture Distribution
DownloadFall 2017
The intensive competitive nature of the world market, the growing significance of quality products, and the increasing importance and the number of safety and environmental issues and regulations, respectively, have increased the need for fast and low-cost changes in chemical processes to enhance...

Head and neck cancer is a devastating disease resulting in difficulties in mastication (chewing) and deglutition (swallowing) even after treatment. Jaw reconstruction together with oral prostheses can restore anatomical structures. Without embedded sensory function in the prosthesis, however,...

The by-product slurry resulting from the bitumen extraction process from oil sands sources, known as tailings, holds substantial amount of water along with clays and fugitive bitumen. Current polymer-based dewatering technologies are centred on acrylamide-based polymers such as polyacrylamide...

Spring 2018
Wetness perceptions in socks are an aspect of comfort. A bench scale measurement technique -- Algorithmic Image Analysis (AIA) -- to assess the liquid moisture distribution in sock fabrics, and relate them to wetness perceptions, is developed in this thesis. In AIA, the measurement of spread...

Mast cells (MCs) are crucial components of the innate immune system, playing a significant role in immune responses to allergens and pathogens. These sentinel cells are primarily located at interfaces between the external environment and the body and can be categorized into connective tissue MCs...

Asphaltenes are a solubility class and it is the material in oil that is insoluble in a paraffinic matrix. It is a major contributor to problems in many petroleum operations such as production, transportation, refining, precipitation, crude oil emulsification, and de-emulsification, and high...
