(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks…) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity…). During their phases ...
Allelopathic effects of Casuarina equisetifolia L. on seed germination of some crop plants and their associated weeds
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Casuarina equisetifolia L. is a widespread tree that has been known for its allelopathic potential causing biological inhibition on plant seed germination. Leaf extract of Casuarina equisetifolia L. was evaluated for its ...
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 Paper)
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 ...

Children's social development is generally facilitated in the context of the unique, socialization experiences that they encounter at school and at. Such experiences are likely to manifest themselves in prosocial behaviors ...
Analysis of Partial Electrocoalescence by Level-Set and Finite Element Methods
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
