Investigation of Hybrid Effects of CNT and Nanoclay in Tailoring Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Epoxy
(2020 , Dissertation)
Many studies performed on multifunctional properties of epoxy-based
nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs and nanoclay whereas synergetic effects of
CNTs and nanoclay on mechanical and piezoresistive behavior of ternary ...
Heavy Metals Hyperaccumulation and the Role of Stress-Induced Proteins in Phytoremediation Mechanism in Selected Qatari Plants
(2020 , Dissertation)
Progressive pollution of the environment by trace and heavy metals pose a significant risk and causes diverse human diseases. Current world initiatives to remove these toxic substances from the environment are costly and ...
The Novel Role of BRIP1 in Breast Tumor Development and Progression
(2020 , Dissertation)
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Only 5-10% of mutations in the BRCA genes are attributed to familial breast tumors in Eastern countries, suggesting the ...
Uncovering the Epigenetic Contribution of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) during Zebrafish Cardiomyogenesis
(2020 , Dissertation)
The heart develops through an extremely intricate process mediated by a network
of transcription factors initiated by key chromatin modification events. Scientist have
implicated the protein arginine methyltransferase ...
Development of a Novel Polymer-Modified Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites for Controlling Calcium Sulfate Scaling and Biofouling on Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Mechanistic Study
(2020 , Dissertation)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a promising environment friendly desalination
technology for clean water production. However, the performance of RO is getting
affected by the mineral scaling and biofouling. During this research, ...
The Impact of Economic Transformations On the Development of the Status of Women in The Arabian Gulf - The Case of Qatar and Bahrain
(2020 , Dissertation)
Neoliberal socio-economic paradigms have become a dominant force in modern societies, including those in the Arabian Gulf region. Their rise has resulted in drastic changes within the role of states towards a focus on the ...
Role of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in WNT/β--CATENIN proliferative signaling in breast cancer
(2020 , Dissertation)
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) activity is dysregulated in many aggressive
cancers and its enhanced levels are associated with increased tumor growth and survival.
In this study, we show that PRMT5 is ...
Safe and Adaptive Social Robots for Children with Autism
(2020 , Dissertation)
Social robots are being considered to be a part of the therapy for children with autism due to the reported efficacy such technology in improving the outcomes. How
ever, children diagnosed with autism exhibit challenging ...
Critical Assessment of Post-Award Contract Administration Performance in Construction Projects
(2020 , Dissertation)
While proper construction contract administration (CCA) is a core competency and a principal success factor for projects, the process is inevitably complex and improper performance of the associated tasks and processes ...
Sustainable Concrete Using Seawater, Recycled Aggregates, and Non Corrosive Reinforcement
(2020 , Dissertation)
Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a concrete mix demands the use of ...
