Two-stage cultivation of a Nannochloropsis mutant for biodiesel feedstock
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Optimization of mass microalgae cultures is required for the efficient production of biodiesel feedstock in terms of total fatty acid (TFA) content and a conducive fatty acid profile. A mutant strain of Nannochloropsis sp. ...
Factors Shaping Qatari Students’ Interest in STEM, Business or Public Sector Careers
(
Sage Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In this article we examine interest in a STEM career in Qatar not in isolation, but as one of numerous career choice options. In particular, we contrast interest in a STEM career with the culturally-relevant alternative ...
Achieve high ductility and strength in an Al-Mg alloy by severe plastic deformation combined with inter-pass annealing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation generally possess very high strength but a rather low uniform elongation, usually <5%. In the present Al-7Mg alloy processed by room temperature equal channel ...
