Algal toxins and producers in the marine waters of Qatar, Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Harmful Algal Bloom species are ubiquitous and their blooms occur in the Arabian Gulf. In this study, two cruises were performed in 2012 and 2013 to collect phytoplankton samples from 4 sites in the Arabian Gulf. Toxin ...
25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations and Clostridium difficile Infection: A Meta-Analysis
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Background: Well-known risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are exposure to antibiotics and gastric acid suppressants. Recent studies have provided some evidence of an association between hypovitaminosis ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Novel methodology for facilely fabricating nanofiltration (NF) composite membrane has been successfully developed by employing nucleophilic nature of polydopamine (PDA) chemistry. The self-polymerized PDA coating over ...
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
