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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
THE ROLE OF SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE IN SUPPLY CHAIN RECONFIGURATION: EVIDENCE FROM QATAR
(2020 , Dissertation)
Supply chain resilience has emerged as a key attribute in wake of increased risk susceptibilities due to globalized operations. This dissertation aims to understand the role of supply chain resilience and reconfiguration ...
Framework for Content Distribution over Wireless LANs
(2020 , Dissertation)
Wireless LAN (also called as Wi-Fi) is dominantly considered as the most pervasive
technology for Intent access. Due to the low-cost of chipsets and support for high data
rates, Wi-Fi has become a universal solution ...
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 ...
Tribo-Mechanical, Biocompatibility, and Corrosion Properties Investigation of Zirconium and SST 304 by Application of Hydroxyapatite/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Palladium-Platinium Nanocomposite Coatings
(2020 , Dissertation)
This thesis describes the synthesis of HA/rGO/Pd and HA/rGO/Pt nanocomposite thin film coatings on stainless steel 304 and pure zirconium applied via an electrodeposition method. The corrosion and biocompatibility ...
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 ...
