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 2018
Understanding where and when populations occur is the first step to conservation and maintenance of biodiversity. Where human land-use overlaps with populations of conservation concern, population loss may occur, potentially reducing long-term persistence of species, particularly for those that...

Fall 2016
The first part of this thesis theoretically studies the low temperature physics of parahydrogen (p-H2) confined in cylindrical channels of diameter of the order of 1 nm, based on the Continuous-Space Worm Algorithm quantum Monte Carlo simulations. On varying the attractive strength of the wall of...

Spring 2023
The dominant neutrino-nucleon interaction above 100 GeV is Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) in which an incoming neutrino scatters off a quark in the nucleon by exchanging a weak boson, producing an outgoing lepton accompanied by a hadron shower. Two sub-dominant processes are expected to produce...

Fall 2021
The search for new phases of matter and their quantitative characterization is one of the central goals of condensed matter physics. To that end, quantum Monte Carlo is a tremendously powerful toolbox that enables the simulation of assemblies of interacting bosons, allowing the exact calculation...

Fall 2021
String theory requires the existence of extra spatial dimensions. They must be compactified since they have not yet been detected. If the size of these extra dimensions is large then it is possible that the string scale Ms could be on the order of TeV. In the Dp-brane model of string theory...

Search for Microscopic Black Holes in Multi-Jet Final-States using Multiple Single-Jet Triggers with ATLAS Detector with 8 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
DownloadFall 2016
Higher dimensional microscopic black holes may be produced in particle accelerators at high energies which will emit a high multiplicity of Standard Model (SM) particles via thermal decay. This thesis documents a search for higher dimensional microscopic black holes in multi-jet final-states...

Search for Microscopic Black Holes in Multijet Final States with the ATLAS Detector using 8 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
DownloadFall 2014
Microscopic black holes are expected to produce a high multiplicity of Standard Model (SM) particles having large transverse momenta in the final state. In this thesis, a search for microscopic black holes in multijet final states with the ATLAS 2012 data using 8~TeV centre of mass energy of...
