Industrial dumping impact on oxygen and nitrogen fluxes in Abu Qir Bay, Southeastern Mediterranean Sea
( Elsevier , 1997 , Article)An input/output flux model was used for the technical assessment of the effects of the present as well as the proposed reduction in the discharge of a major wastewater (industrial and sewage) dumping site on the dissolved ... -
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ... -
Insights on the association between somatic aneuploidy and ostreid herpesvirus 1 detection in the oysters Crassostrea gigas, C. angulata and their F1 hybrids
( John Wiley & Sons Ltd , 2014 , Article)Cytogenetic abnormalities associated with viral infections, including from viruses of the Herpesvirales order, have been reported in vertebrate species. Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) has been detected worldwide during ... -
Investigating the biodiversity and current status of the historically renowned oyster beds of Qatar
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2015 , Conference)The "Pearl Oyster" Pinctada radiata has long been associated with the nation of Qatar. Historically pearl oysters were harvested in huge quantities in the Arabian Gulf with Qatari pearls making up a large percentage of the ... -
Investigating the concomitant removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)This study investigates the concomitant removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains. In regions characterized by harsh conditions such as Qatar, the weathering processes would ... -
Investigation of boron-doped graphene oxide anchored with copper sulphide flowers as visible light active photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)The non-biodegradable nature of waste emitted from the agriculture and industrial sector contaminates freshwater reserves. Fabrication of highly effective and low-cost heterogeneous photocatalysts is crucial for sustainable ... -
Investigation of long-term, basin-scale thermohaline trends in Qatar's marine region in response to environmental and climatic change
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference)The Arabian Gulf, an economically and geopolitically important marine area, is a semi-enclosed and shallow basin with an average depth 36 m. The Gulf is one of the seasonally warmest (i.e., in summer) and most saline marine ... -
