Localized outbreaks of coral disease on Arabian reefs are linked to extreme temperatures and environmental stressors
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula borders the hottest reefs in the world, and corals living in these extreme environments can provide insight into the effects of warming on coral health and disease. Here, we examined coral reef health ...
Coral reef resilience differs among islands within the Gulf of Mannar, southeast India, following successive coral bleaching events
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article)
We used a 12-yr data set of benthic cover (2005�2017), spanning two bleaching events, to assess changes in benthic cover and coral community composition along 21 islands within Gulf of Mannar (GoM), southeast India. Overall, ...
Case-control design identifies ecological drivers of endemic coral diseases
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
Endemic disease transmission is an important ecological process that is challenging to study because of low occurrence rates. Here, we investigate the ecological drivers of two coral diseases growth anomalies and tissue ...
Smart Synthesis of Trimethyl Ethoxysilane (TMS) Functionalized Core–Shell Magnetic Nanosorbents Fe3O4@SiO2: Process Optimization and Application for Extraction of Pesticides
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the current study, a smart approach for synthesizing trimethyl ethoxysilane–decorated magnetic-core silica-nanoparticles (TMS-mcSNPs) and its effectiveness as nanosorbents have been exploited. While the magnetite core ...
Microbially induced calcite precipitation in calcareous soils by endogenous Bacillus cereus, at high pH and harsh weather
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) improves the physical properties of soils by increasing the solid content, decreasing the pore sizes and improving the rigidity of the particle-to-particle contact ending ...
Date pits based nanomaterials for thermal insulation applications - Towards energy efficient buildings in Qatar
(
Public Library of Science
, 2021 , Article)
Air-conditioning systems make the most significant part of energy consumption in the residential sector. There is no denying that it is essential to produce a comfortable indoor thermal environment for residents in a ...
The use of principle component analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming: Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from sabkhas
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping has not been explained, although it could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common ...
Biocrude oil and high-value metabolite production potential of the Nitzschia sp.
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article)
Diatom biomass could be an alternative feedstock for producing bio-oil through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technique. Additionally, diatom biomass could have high-value metabolites, such as pigments and polyunsaturated ...
Comparative Assessment of Toxic Metals Bioaccumulation and the Mechanisms of Chromium (Cr) Tolerance and Uptake in Calotropis procera
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
Progressive pollution due to toxic metals significantly undermines global environmental sustainability efforts. Chromium (Cr) is one of the most dangerous to human health. The use of plants to rid the environment of such ...
Separation of water/oil emulsions by an electrospun copolyamide mat covered with a 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: Copolyamide 6,10 (coPA) electrospun mats were covered with multilayered (ML) and single-layered (SL) MXene (Ti3C2Tx) as a membrane for the separation of water/vegetable oil emulsions. Methods: Prepared membranes ...
