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 2015
Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Dystrophy, Harboyan Syndrome and Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy are three forms of heterogeneous, genetic corneal blindness. Mutations in the membrane protein SLC4A11 have been found to cause cases of these diseases. Most mutations in SLC4A11 cause the...

Identification of Data Requirements for Calibration of a Steady State ASM2d Model at GBWWTP
DownloadSpring 2010
An attempt was made to calibrate a steady state activated sludge model (ASM2d) for the biological nutrient removal process at the Gold bar wastewater treatment plant. This calibrated model could be used on a regular basis to test various operational strategies and predict effluent quality under...

Identification of dehydration tolerance genes in triticale (x Triticosecale Wittm.) seedlings
DownloadSpring 2012
Dehydration stress triggers many changes in plant gene expression. Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittm.) sequencing using next generation sequencing allowed identification of 107,000 transcripts of which 4,467 were differentially regulated ≥2-fold. Abscisic acid co-receptors, pyrabactin and protein...

Spring 2022
Reproductive efficiency in the Western Canadian beef cow herd has not improved over the past 3 decades, despite consistent and measurable improvement in several related areas of production. The general objective of this thesis was to evaluate the relationships between early-observation traits...

Identification of functional genes for feed efficiency traits via transcriptome analyses to enhance the genomic prediction accuracy in beef cattle
DownloadFall 2019
Residual feed intake (RFI), a measure of feed efficiency, and its component traits including average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI) and metabolic weight (MWT) are traits of great economic importance to the beef industry. The genetic improvement of these traits can improve the...
