High Selenium Intake is Associated with Endothelial Dysfunction: Critical Role for Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Selenium is associated with insulin resistance and may therefore affect endothelial function, increasing type II diabetes risk and associated cardiovascular-disease risk. However the underpinning molecular mechanisms ...
Effects of Drill Mud and Drive Torque Sinusoidal Excitation on Drillstrings Lateral and Torsional StickSlip Vibrations
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Oil and gas drilling companies spend around 20$ billion annually from which 15% is attributed to material and productive time losses. The most prevalent drilling problems are caused by the Bottom-Hole-Assembly failure which ...
Evaluation of Antidiabetic and Antihypertensive Potential of Some Traditional Desert Food Plants of Qatar Using in Vitro Assays
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Numerous studies have shown that food plants, the source of basic nutritional components may also possess an additional bioactive therapeutic properties associated with the prevention of diseases such as type 2 diabetes ...
Occupant's thermal comfort in Qatari offices - Need for the new adaptive standard
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Qatar's per capita energy consumption is one of the highest in the world, consuming 30.184 TWh as of 2012. Buildings contribute significantly (80%) to this, with air-conditioning taking a lion's share. Qatar does not have ...
Glucocorticoid-induced fetal origins of adult hypertension: Association with epigenetic events
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article Review)
Hypertension is a predominant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and a major health care burden. Accumulating epidemiological and experimental evidence suggest that adult-onset hypertension may have its origins during ...
Lanthanide oxide modified H-Mordenites: Deactivation of external acid sites in the isopropylation of naphthalene
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The external surface of the H-Mordenite (MOR) was modified with lanthanide oxides such as CeO2, La2O3, Pr2O3, Sm2O3, Dy2O3, and Yb2O3, to investigate the deactivation of external acid sites. It is confirmed that the ...
A simple model for cell type recognition using 2D-correlation analysis of FTIR images from breast cancer tissue
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer after lung cancer. So far, in clinical practice, most cancer parameters originating from histopathology rely on the visualization by a pathologist of microscopic structures ...
Three-component one-pot reaction for molecular engineering of novel cost-effective highly rigid quinoxaline-based photosensitizers for highly efficient DSSCs application: Remarkable photovoltage
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
A simple three-component one-pot approach was developed to generate three novel highly rigid quinoxaline-based dyes, which were further investigated as sensitizers of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effect of ...
The advanced photocatalytic degradation of atrazine by direct Z-scheme Cu doped ZnO/g-C3N4
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, Cu was incorporated into ZnO lattice to reduce its band gap as well as to extend its visible radiation response. The obtained Cu-ZnO was continuously integrated with g-C3N4 to create Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 Z-direct scheme ...
