Functional Overexpression and Purification of a Codon Optimized Synthetic Glucarpidase (Carboxypeptidase G2) in Escherichia coli
(
Springer US
, 2009 , Article)
Glucarpidase (former name: carboxypeptidase G2, or CPG2) is a bacterial enzyme that is widely used in detoxification of the cytotoxic drug, methotrexate, and in Antibody Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy for cancer treatment. ...
Modeling, simulation and control of a scheibel liquid–liquid contactor: Part 2. Model-based control synthesis and design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This study describes an application of model-based control techniques to a liquid–liquid extraction process. The control design is based on a reduced order model of the process obtained by system identification. A multi-loop ...
Geology and petrology of the Hormuz dolomite, Infra-Cambrian: Implications for the formation of the salt-cored Halul and Shraouh islands, Offshore, State of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Geological investigations of the Halul and the Shraouh islands, offshore Qatar, indicate that most of their calcareous rocks, which display abundant stromatolitic bedding, belong to the Infra-Cambrian Hormuz Series. ...
Integrating hybrid systems with existing thermal desalinationplants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
In Gulf countries, most power plants are co-generation power desalting plants (CPDP) that generate electric energy and also produce fresh water through the desalination of seawater. This paper provides detailed technical ...
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR): A strategic cost-effective facility to balance water production and demand for Sharjah
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Aquifer storage and recovery was evaluated as a strategic water storage facility and as a tool to reduce overallcost of water production. This work investigated the size, cost, and mode of operation required to run the ...
MESP: A Modified IPSec for Secure Multicast Communication
(
IEEE
, 2006 , Article)
We propose the multicast encryption security protocol MESP. It is driven form the IPSEC ESP. The specification of the protocol are discussed and applied the existing IPSEC ESP. We use the existing implementation of the ...
Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...
Simulation and economic evaluation of natural gas hydrates [NGH] as an alternative to liquefied natural gas [LNG]
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
Despite the fact that relatively little is known about the ultimate resource potential of natural gas hydrates, it is certain that gas hydrates are a vast storehouse of natural gas and significant technical challenges need ...
Isolation and characterization of extracellular bioflocculants produced by bacteria isolated from Qatari ecosystems
(
POLISH SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGISTS
, 2008 , Article)
Compared with conventional synthetic flocculants, bioflocculants has special advantages such as safety, strong effect, biodegradable and harmlessness to humans and the environment, so they may potentially be applied in ...
Analysis of particulate behavior in porous media
(
Shanghai University Press
, 2008 , Article)
In this work, we analyze the behavior of the particle phase in the flow of a particle-laden mixture through a porous medium. An attempt is made to model the diffusion and dispersion processes, and to quantify the deviation ...
