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.

Assessment of gastrointestinal tolerance of three novel type 4 resistant starches in a human intervention study
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Dietary fibre (DF) offers potential health benefits, yet intake in Canada is half of that recommended. A type of DF known as resistant starch (RS) can replace digestible carbohydrates in flour-based foods and is typically well tolerated, offering potential physiological benefits to...

Fall 2019
Geomechanical properties of caprock shale formations for SAGD operations play a critical role in its integrity and must be well characterized. As a component of the development of a SAGD project, numerical simulations are used extensively to understand the uncertainties and forecast the economics...

Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation Potential and Abatement Costs of Alternative Technology Options for Oil Sands
DownloadSpring 2020
In the last several decades societies have gained an increasing level of awareness and scientific understanding of the impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on average global temperatures and the negative results of those temperatures increasing. Many governments, including...

Assessment of greenhouse gas reduction options for the iron, gold, and potash mining sectors
DownloadFall 2019
Canada has one of the world’s highest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per capita among developed countries and was the 10th largest global GHG emitter in 2017. Consistent with the Paris Agreement’s goal of controlling the temperature increase by 2°C to 1.5°C, Canada aims to reduce GHG emissions by...

Assessment of Human Trunk Kinetics Using a Multi-Segment Model: An Approach to Minimize the Propagation of Experimental Errors
DownloadSpring 2018
Evaluating several pathological conditions such as low-back pain, scoliosis, herniated discs, and postural stability after spinal cord injury or chronic stroke requires a deep understanding of the inter-spinal interactions. Assessing the kinetics of the human head-arms-trunk (HAT) could provide...
