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.

Dosimetry and Biological Studies for Microbeam Radiation Therapy at the Canadian Light Source
DownloadFall 2015
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a pre-clinical type of radiation therapy that uses an array of high-dose microbeams to treat solid tumours. An intense, quasi-parallel synchrotron beam is collimated to create microbeams several 10s of μm wide, and separated by 100s of μm. Animal studies...

Down-Regulation of CELLULOSE SYNTHASE Expression in Arabidopsis Seeds as a Possible Means of Increasing Seed Oil and Protein Content, and Reducing Fibre Content
DownloadSpring 2017
Jayawardhane Rathnayaka,Kethmi N
Oleaginous seeds, with higher oil and protein content, have higher economic value in the seed oil industry. Meal resulting from the seed oil extraction process is a widely used protein source in animal feed. The reduction of the complex fibre component of seed tissues may direct more carbon into...
