This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
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 2019
High dimensional classification has drawn massive attention due to its increasing application in genetic diagnosis, image or speech recognition and financial analysis. Traditional methods such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), which are optimal Bayes...

Fall 2019
Massive stars end their life through explosive supernovae, leaving behind supernova remnants (SNRs) and forming neutron stars (NSs) or black holes (BHs). Studying the X-rays emitted from BHs, NSs, and SNRs allows us to investigate the high energy processes producing this radiation....

Telikicherla Kandala, Anant Kumar
In-situ measurements of energetic particle precipitation in the near-Earth space environment are essential for understanding the governing physical processes responsible for this precipitation, as well as to elucidate the possible impacts of space radiation on the Earth’s atmosphere. This thesis...

Fall 2012
The Earth's magnetosphere is composed of energetic electrons and protons. It is important to verify average populations and energy distributions of these particles and quantify the effects of geomagnetic events on their populations and energy distributions. Abrupt changes have been observed in...

High fructose intake during pregnancy adversely affects insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and affects placental gene expression of nutrient transporters and angiogenesis in rat dams and their pregnant offspring
DownloadSpring 2017
Fructose intake has increased over the past several decades due to high consumption of sugary foods and drinks. In non-pregnant humans and animals, high fructose intake results in hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and weight gain, although its effects on metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and on...

Spring 2023
High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a convenient method of producing coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation and is typically produced by focusing a laser onto a gas jet. The total intensity of XUV generated in this method is limited by the ionization threshold of the gas and absorption of XUV...
