This article discusses the role of museums in Qatar as participants in an educational ecosystem. An educational ecosystem is an educational approach that involves a network of participants, rather than being confined to ...
Oral PTCTS (Particulated Transialidase) Removes Serum Microparticles and Decreases Inflammation in Atherosclerotic Plaques of Rabbits
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Background: Previous studies showed that atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability was related with microparticles (MPs)-vesicles larger than 100 nm, which released MMP9 collagenase. In our pre- vious study, intramuscular ...
Emotion-Cognition Interaction in Nonhuman Primates: Cognitive Avoidance of Negative Stimuli in Baboons (Papio papio)
(
SAGE
, 2016 , Article)
It is well established that emotion and cognition interact in humans, but such an interaction has not been extensively studied in nonhuman primates. We investigated whether emotional value can affect nonhuman primates’ ...
A sensitivity analysis approach to identify key environmental performance factors
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used in design phase to reduce the product's environmental impacts through the whole product life cycle (PLC) during the last two decades. The traditional LCA is restricted to assessing ...
Internalization of metal-organic framework nanoparticles in human vascular cells: Implications for cardiovascular disease therapy
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Alteration of endothelial cells and the underlying vasculature plays a central role in the pathogenesis of various CVDs. The ...
Preliminary investigation of elevated collagen and blood-clotting markers as potential noninvasive biomarkers for small cell lung cancer
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2023 , Article)
Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is highly aggressive with limited therapeutic options and a poor prognosis. Moreover, noninvasive biomarker tools for detecting disease and monitoring treatment response are lacking. ...
Effect of soil moisture on the response of soil respiration to open-field experimental warming and precipitation manipulation
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2017 , Article)
Soil respiration (RS, Soil CO2 efflux) is the second largest carbon (C) flux in global terrestrial ecosystems, and thus, plays an important role in global and regional C cycling; moreover, it acts as a feedback mechanism ...
Adsorption of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid onto date seeds activated carbon: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
(2012 , Article)
Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide on activated carbon prepared from Barhi date seeds were determined from batch tests. The effects of contact time, initial herbicide ...

Functional Characterization of Novel MC4R Variants Identified in Two Unrelated Patients with Morbid Obesity in Qatar
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
The leptin–melanocortin pathway is pivotal in appetite and energy homeostasis. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in this pathway lead to severe early-onset monogenic obesity (MO). The MC4R gene plays a central role in ...
