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.

Genesis and Characterization of Human eNOS-Based Platelet Subpopulations. Implications for Haemostasis and Thrombosis
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke are responsible for nearly half of all cardiovascular deaths in Canada. Platelets play a critical role in MI and ischemic stroke by forming thrombi that occlude coronary and cerebral arteries. In spite of abundant pharmacological agents...

Genesis and controls on mineralization at the Hammer Zone silver showing, Mount Mye Trend, hosted by the Anvil Batholith, South-Central Yukon
DownloadFall 2017
When Silver Range resources acquired the Keg property in 2010, one of the prospects included was the Hammer Zone. Ensuing mapping and surface sampling found the Hammer Zone to be a small, bonanza-grade, epithermal silver system contained entirely within the Anvil Batholith. Initial petrographic...

The mid-Cretaceous Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu-Sn Keglovic deposit, located in the south-central Yukon, is formed by the superposition of an earlier Pb-Zn skarn system with later Keno Hill-style Ag-Pb-Zn veins and is the product of complex regional geological processes, which occur synchronously with...

Fall 2018
Kidney stone disease is a common and serious problem with increasing incidence and frequency across the world. Hypercalciuria is an independent risk factor for the most common type of kidney stones i.e. calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stones. Annually, billions of dollars are spent on...

Genetic adaptation of aspen populations to spring risk environments: a novel remote sensing approach
DownloadSpring 2010
This study investigates geographic patterns of genetic variation in aspen spring phenology to understanding how tree population adapts to climatically risk environments. These finding suggest rules to guide seed transfer between regions. I use a classical common garden experiment to reveal...

Spring 2011
Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) techniques have been proposed to meet the needs for higher data rates and lower delays in future wireless communication systems. The downlink capacity of multiuser MIMO systems is achieved when the system transmits to several users simultaneously....
