DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SMART POLYMERIC-BASED SELF-HEALING NANOCOMPOSITE COATINGS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF CARBON STEEL
(Materials Science and Engineering, 2024 , Dissertation)
Corrosion is a major cause of materials and equipment failure in the Oil & Gas industry and accounts for 1/4 to 1/3 of the total downtime, and its prevention is crucial to ensure reliability of the assets. The smart polymeric ...
QATAR DIGITAL PUBLIC DIPLOMACY IN SOMALIA: FRAMING QATAR'S FOREIGN AID IN FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
(Gulf Studies, 2024 , Dissertation)
The State of Qatar has adopted soft power in its foreign policy to compensate for its geographical size and to preserve its national security. This gave the State of Qatar, as a small state, strength and a regional presence. ...
Anticancer Activity of Neosetophomone-B, a Fungal Secondary Metabolite, Against Hematological Malignancies
(Pharmacy, 2023 , Dissertation)
Anticancer Activity of Neosetophomone-B, a Fungal Secondary Metabolite, Against Hematological Malignancies downregulation, and p21 and p27 upregulation were observed in NSP-B-treated leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma cells. ...
Development of Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts Using Solution Combustion Synthesis For Fuel Cell Applications
(Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 , Dissertation)
Advanced energy storage and conversion systems such as fuel cells and metal air
batteries achieved wide attention. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and Oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) are the prominent reactions that ...
Prospects Of Amino Acids And Ionic Liquids As Natural Gas Hydrate Inhibitors For Offshore Flow Assurance
(Chemical Engineering, 2018 , Dissertation)
Gas hydrates are ice-like compounds that are formed when small gas molecules get trapped within the water molecules at high pressure and low-temperature conditions. The formation of gas hydrates in the offshore subsea lines ...
Critical Assessment of Post-Award Contract Administration Performance in Construction Projects
(Engineering Management, 2020 , Dissertation)
While proper construction contract administration (CCA) is a core competency and a principal success factor for projects, the process is inevitably complex and improper performance of the associated tasks and processes ...
Investigation of Hybrid Effects of CNT and Nanoclay in Tailoring Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Epoxy
(Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
Many studies performed on multifunctional properties of epoxy-based
nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs and nanoclay whereas synergetic effects of
CNTs and nanoclay on mechanical and piezoresistive behavior of ternary ...
Wave Propagation Identification of Viscoelastic and Metallic Mechanical Metamaterials
(Civil Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially engineered composites which have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL APPROACHES TOWARD ACTIVITY RESTORATION OF NOVEL CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE MUTATIONS
(Medical Sciences, 2024 , Dissertation)
Homocystinuria, a rare disorder stemming from mutations in the CBS gene, results in cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency. CBS is a pivotal enzyme whose activity is enhanced by the allosteric regulator S-adenosylmethionine ...
THE EFFECT OF OBESITY ON RIVAROXABAN PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS
(Pharmacy, 2024 , Dissertation)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a prevalent condition that is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Similarly, atrial fibrillation ...
