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.

Spring 2023
Credit risk management, which deals with mitigating losses from lending activities, is crucial for financial institutions. Hence, credit risk modelling can be employed to reduce potential losses and avoid financial crises. There are sometimes monotonic relationships in credit risk models, which...

For matched-pair data with a multinomial reponse, the Stuart-Maxwell test (1955, 1970) and the Bhapkar test (1966) are commonly used to test the marginal homogeneity. However, in medical research, many studies for assess- ing safety consider multiple multinomial endpoints to detect the treatment...

Testing the Limits of Approximate Solutions of the Quantum-Classical Liouville Equation for Modelling Quantum Processes Occurring in Condensed Phase Environments
DownloadFall 2018
Many methods exist for simulating the nonadiabatic dynamics of mixed quantum-classical systems, some of which are more accurate than others. Some of the most accurate methods are based on solving the quantum-classical Liouville equation (QCLE) represented in the adiabatic basis, in terms of an...

The main purpose of this research project was to test the social risk hypothesis of depression proposed by Allen and Badcock (2003). The social risk hypothesis suggests that mild to moderate depression has evolved to promote belonging in small communities by making members sensitive to signs of...
