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.

Ultra Wideband Radar Technology and Signal Processing Methods for the Multiphase Flow Monitoring and Tunnel Boring Operations
DownloadSpring 2024
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar technology can provide solutions for many existing challenges in the industry. In this research, we tackle three existing problems in the oil industry and tunnel construction operations. First, microwave imaging and associated signal processing techniques are proposed...

This thesis explores the development and preliminary operation of a new test method for roller and roller path arrangements on ultra-class mining shovels. The lack of existing lab-scale test methods discourage significant change, and restrict the development of the roller and roller path to minor...

Fall 2016
Ultra wideband (UWB)- synthetic aperture radars are emerging devices that are ideal for sensing and imaging applications in many special conditions such as monitoring subsurfaces, through-wall imaging, non-destructive characterization of materials, oil reservoir monitoring, weather forecasting,...

High-frequency ultrasound (>20MHz) offers promising opportunities for high-resolution blood flow imaging of the microcirculation at superficial depths owing to high backscatter coefficient and high resolution. Because time-of-flight is minimal at these superficial depths, focused beam scanning...
