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.

Spring 2024
We investigate the microscopic nature of charge-carrier conduction in nanoscale semiconducting materials using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). TRTS uses picosecond pulses of terahertz radiation (0.5-2.5 THz) to explore photoexcited charge-carrier lifetimes and dynamics with...

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are at high risk for stroke recurrence. Early anticoagulation may reduce the risk of recurrent events but is usually avoided due to the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The risk of HT is based on historical data from an older...

Fall 2015
This study characterized two organic-rich source rock formations from three different sub-basins of the Georgina Basin, Central Australia, using the 187Re – 187Os isotope system and a suite of major, minor, and trace elements. The major organic-rich source rock in the Georgina Basin, the lower...

Fall 2023
Owing to the factors of low cost, abundance and lower emissions from natural gas as compared to diesel and gasoline, there has been a surged interest in utilizing natural gas for transportation purposes. Though it is known for natural gas to burn in a clean manner with considerably fewer...

Tiny Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images: End-to-End Super-Resolution and Object Detection with Deep Learning
DownloadFall 2020
In this thesis, we study the problem of detecting small objects on low-resolution (LR) satellite imagery. Small-object detection is a challenging problem, especially from LR images. To tackle the challenge, we propose a method to generate super-resolution images from low-resolution images and...

TiO2 Nanotube Arrays with Engineered Geometries: Growth, Characterization and Study of Selected Interfaces
DownloadSpring 2016
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide band gap, robust, n-type semiconductor whose transformation into vertically-oriented nanotube arrays makes them suitable electron percolation pathways for vectorial charge transfer togerther with high surface area. Growth of self-organized TiO2 nanotube arrays as...
