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.

Downregulation of the FOXM1 transcription factor by dual nitric oxide-/ hydrogen sulfide-donors: preliminary structure-activity relationships
DownloadFall 2015
Rodriguez Dimitrescu, Alexandra
In recent decades, the Forkhead Box (FOX) family of transcription factors (e.g. FOXM1) has attracted the attention of the scientific community due to its significant role in cancer initiation and progression. Furthermore, the abnormal or deregulated expression of FOXM1 has been associated with...

Drag Reduction Performance and Turbulent Structure of Polymeric Solutions in Wall-bounded Turbulent Flows
DownloadSpring 2020
The higher drag of turbulent flows relative to laminar flows requires greater pumping power and results in a higher transportation cost. For this reason, reducing drag in turbulent pipe flows is of interest. Among various methods, the use of long-chain polymers has attracted more attention due to...

Spring 2016
The current study investigates the drag reduction (DR) using high molecular weight polymers such as commercial polyacrylamide, polysaccharides and thermo-responsive polymers. A Taylor-Couette (TC) setup was designed and fabricated to examine the abovementioned polymers for drag reduction, and to...
