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 2021
As communications technologies continue to grow, the role of gallium nitride (GaN) transistors for high-frequency applications continues to grow as the speed requirements of more and more applications exceed the abilities of silicon. Today the vast majority of commercial GaN devices use HEMT...

Fall 2012
This thesis explores the determination of a few of the fundamental constants of the standard model by employing different methods than those historically used. Modern field theory techniques are applied to the calculation of the α2(Zα)5 corrections to the Lamb shift leading to an increase in the...

Fall 2022
Interface problems arise in many applications such as modeling of underground waste disposal, oil reservoirs, composite materials, and many others. The coefficient $a$, the source term $f$, the solution $u$ and the flux $a\nabla u\cdot \vec{n}$ are possibly discontinuous across the interface...

High Performance Electrode and Catalyst Nano-materials for Energy Storage Devices: Supercapacitors, Pseudocapacitors and Zinc-air Batteries Made from Asphaltene Based Carbon Fibers
DownloadSpring 2023
The demand for grid-scale energy storage becomes significant as the world continues to move towards renewable and sustainable energy storage technologies. Capacitors and batteries are energy storage devices used in almost all electronic devices. The first study in this work investigated the...

High Performance Germanium-based Anode Materials for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
DownloadFall 2014
In this thesis the electrochemical performance of germanium nanowires (GeNWs) as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and tin-germanium-antimony (Sn-Ge-Sb) thin films as anode for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have been investigated. Scientific literature shows a substantial study-to-study...

High Performance liquid Chromatography Analysis of Nucleosides and Nucleobases in Mouse Plasma and Xenopus oocytes
DownloadFall 2017
In humans, there are three members of the cation-coupled concentrative nucleoside transporter CNT (SLC28) family, hCNT1-3: hCNT1 is selective for pyrimidine nucleosides but also transports adenosine, hCNT2 transports purine nucleosides and uridine, and hCNT3 transports both pyrimidine and purine...

High performance live migration over low-bandwidth, high-delay network with loss prevention
DownloadFall 2010
Virtualization technology has attracted considerable interest. It allows several virtual machines to run concurrently inside a physical host, which brings multiple advantages. One of the most useful features is called live migration, during which a virtual machine can be migrated over network...
