Genetic Susceptibility to Infectious Diseases in the Qatari Population
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Background: Infectious diseases (IDs) account for 8% of deaths annually in Qatar, and therefore, represent a significant challenge for public health. Interestingly, the spread and severity of viral infections vary considerably ...
Segmenting Liver Volume for Surgical Analysis
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Introduction: Almost two million people worldwide die annually due to hepatic-related diseases. Half of these diseases are attributed to cirrhosis and the other half are related to hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma ...
Detection of antinuclear antibodies targeting intracellular signal transduction, metabolism, apoptotic processes and cell death in critical COVID-19 patients
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Background: The heterogeneity of COVID-19 lies within its diverse symptoms and severity, ranging from mild to lethal. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been shown to be the leading cause of mortality in COVID-19 ...
Lithologic Characterization and Micropore Structures of Gas Shale Strata: An example from the Midra Shale of Western Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Gas shale is the future hydrocarbon reservoir of Qatar. The Qatari geologic section has had important successions of gas shale at different geologic times including the Eocene Midra shale, the Cretaceous Ratawi and Nahr ...
Oil Spill Index (OSI) to Sentinel-2 satellite data: QU in International Contribution
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
An Oil Spill Index (OSI = (B3+B4)/B2) was developed and applied to Sentinel-2 optical satellite data of the European Space Agency (ESA) to map marine oil spills using spectral absorption characters of spectral bands of the ...
Microplastics in the beach sediments around the Ras Rakan Island, Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The ubiquitous microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental issue in the marine environment. In this study, historical accumulation trends of MPs in the beach sediments around the Ras Rakan Island of Qatar have ...
Investigating the concomitant removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
This study investigates the concomitant removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains. In regions characterized by harsh conditions such as Qatar, the weathering processes would ...
Satellite mapping and stabilization of the aeolian deposits of QAFCO site 5/6
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Aeolian processes produce vast areas of sand and dunes in the arid region and need monitoring since they are encroaching land and degrading infrastructures. In this study, we used the satellite data of ASTER and mineral ...

(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are priority pollutants, which are known to be associated with petroleum products. They are released into the marine environment via accidental ...
Understanding the electrochemical performance of LiNi0. 5Mn1.5O4 coated with Yttria and distributed over graphene nanosheets as cathode in li-ion batteries
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries with a high-voltage spinel structure. A microwave-assisted chemical co-precipitation method was used to synthesize Y2O3 coated quasi-spheres of ...
