Isolation, identification and biodiversity of antiscalant degrading seawater bacteria using MALDI-TOF-MS and multivariate analysis
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is a commonly used desalination technique owing to its lesser environmental and economic impacts as compared to thermal desalination techniques. Antiscalants are used in SWRO to reduce ... -
ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION, DIFFERENTIATION AND SCREENING OF LOCAL AEROBIC UREOLYTIC BACTERIA INVOLVED IN MICROBIALLY INDUCED CALCIUM CARBONATE PRECIPITATION IN QATARI SOIL.
(2018 , Master Thesis)Biomineralization plays an important role in stabilizing the soil by modifying its geological and physical properties, hence, acting as a stabilizer against wind erosion specially in regions characterized by harsh soil ... -
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
( Avestia Publishing , 2016 , Conference Paper)The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ... -
Isomorphic Hilbert spaces associated with different complex contours of the PT-symmetric (-x^4) theory
( World Scientific Publishing Co. , 2014 , Article)In this work, we stress the existence of isomorphisms which map complex contours from the upper half to contours in the lower half of the complex plane. The metric operator is found to depend on the chosen contour but the ... -
Isoperimetric properties of condenser capacity
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)For compact subsets E of the unit disk D we study the capacity of the condenser (D,E) by means of set functionals defined in terms of hyperbolic geometry. In particular, we study experimentally the case of a hyperbolic ... -
Isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology of double crystalline PCL/PBS blends mixed with a polycarbonate/MWCNTs masterbatch
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)In this work, the 70/30 and 30/70 w/w polycaprolactone (PCL)/polybutylene succinate (PBS) blends and their corresponding PCL/PBS/(polycarbonate (PC)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) masterbatch) nanocomposites were ... -
"It brings out the best": Incorporating positive health into health promotion initiatives from the UAE's physically active
( Springer , 2019 , Book chapter)Traditional health promotion efforts focus on reducing factors that contribute to ill-health, such as sedentary behavior or smoking. Yet, this focus on negative or deficit behaviors overlooks those who engage in positive ... -
It is all about patients' stories: Case-based learning in residents' education
( Hamad Medical Corporation , 2019 , Article)Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) is an inquiry-based learning strategy which is learner centered and facilitates group discussion and critical thinking. Case-based learning (CBL), which is a more guided approach ... -
