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 2013
The histopathological examination of a biopsy is considered as the gold standard in the diagnosis of diseases for almost all kinds of cancer. Traditionally, the histopathological slides are examined under a microscope by pathologists. Nowadays, with the help of high speed, high resolution image...

Spring 2019
The invention of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced the diagnosis of diseases dramatically as it is capable of producing high-quality images of soft tissues non-invasively and safely. However, the high volume of MRI images also means heavy workloads for physicians, which results in...

Spring 2022
Due to the exponential growth of Internet usage and inefficiency of the traditional modulations, the capacity of the current optical fiber networks is not sufficient for future Internet demands. As a result, increasing the capacity of the fiber networks is of great importance. Since most of the...

Fall 2022
The continuing exponential increase in functionalities of integrated circuits demands high data rate intra-chip and inter-chip communication. However, high speed communications inside silicon chips are often bottlenecked by capacitive drain of the channels. Therefore, as the functionalities of...

ProAnalyser: a multimedia modeling and authoring framework for discerning student learning processes
DownloadSpring 2010
Online multimedia education systems traditionally tend to consist almost exclusively of multiple choice or numeric response style questions. However, many curricula such as math, physics, and chemistry typically involve students completing large, complex, multi-step problems where the process...

Fall 2012
Signal detection in non-Gaussian noise is fundamental to design signal processing systems like decision making or information extraction. The optimal/near-optimal detector for this problem is the likelihood ratio test (LRT) or generalized LRT (GLRT). However, since the noise is non-Gaussian,...
