Hydrocarbon Degrading Candidate Bacteria Isolated From Qatar Polluted Soil and Molecular Identification of Key Enzymes Coding Genes
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Sixteen bacterial strains were isolated form contaminated soils and identified as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus circulans, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus luteus, Raoultella ornithinolytica and ...
Assessment of Temporal Variation of Fish Assemblages between Natural and Artificial Reefs
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Well-defined coral reefs and patches with high density of fishes were reported
in the Arabian Gulf. Due to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances, especially
due to coastal development, coral reef cover starts ...
ASSESSMENT OF ORDERING PRACTICES AT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER (BRC)- METABOLIC RESEARCH LABORATORY (MRL)
(Biomedical Sciences, 2021 , Professional Masters Project)
Background: Assessment of the purchasing and ordering process in the
Metabolic Research Laboratory (MRL) at the Biomedical Research Center (BRC) at
Qatar University (QU) is a critical component of the quality management ...
Development of Functionalized Date Pits Adsorbent for the Removal of Boron, Lithium, and Molybdenum from Groundwater in the State of Qatar
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Dissertation)
Groundwater (GW) quality deterioration is one of the main water security issues in
Qatar. Although the GW in the State of Qatar is not used as drinking water for the
public, it is widely used for agricultural, domestic, ...
Anticancer Activity of Guggulsterone in Multiple Myeloma Cells
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Guggulsterone (GS), a phytosteroid derived from guggul plants' gum resin, has
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although, the GS is found to have
cytotoxic effects in Multiple Myeloma (MM) cells, the ...
Impact of Environmental and Anthropogenic Conditions on the Reproductive Cycle of the Pearl Oyster Pinctada Imbricata in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
To master the aquaculture of pearl oysters Pinctada imbricada, one must master its reproductive cycle. We investigated it through histology, analysis of water physico chemistry and behavior recording on wild oysters sampled ...
Biodiversity of Ant Fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Qatar
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2021 , Dissertation)
Information on Formicidae of Qatar as well as insect fauna is poorly documented. So
far only six species of Formicidae (ants) belonging to five genera have been recorded
from Qatar; Brachyponera sennaarensis, Cataglyphis ...
Development of Biosurfactants from Indigenous Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria for Enhancing Remediation of Weathered Oily-Soils and Oil Recovery in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Bacterial strains were isolated from highly weathered oil-contaminated sites,
identified, and differentiated based on their gene expression with the use of matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass ...
The development of novel composite materials of modified roasted date pits using ferrocyanides for the recovery of valuable metal ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
In this project, novel composite materials from modified roasted date pits using
ferrocyanides were developed and investigated for the recovery of valuable metal ions
(Li+ and Sr2+) from seawater reverse osmosis (RO) ...
The Use of Novel Ionic Liquid and Cellulose Nanocrystals Modified Date Pits as Adsorbents for Groundwater Treatment
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
This study aims to investigate the remediation of Li1+, Mo6+, and B3+ from groundwater using an innovative low-cost adsorbent. Agriculturally abundant date pits were modified to be successfully used as an adsorbent. Chemical ...
