Climate change vulnerability in urban slum communities: Investigating household adaptation and decision-making capacity in the Indian Himalaya
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Climate change is predicted to have severe impacts on mountainous regions, including urban settlements, and livelihoods of the urban poor. Adaptive capacity for marginalized groups is largely determined ...
Eggshell membrane as a novel bio sorbent for remediation of boron from desalinated water
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigated the use of eggshell membrane (ESM) as a bio-sorbent and the effect of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on its efficiency. Furthermore, by altering the chemical composition, modified eggshell ...
A comparison of the Ranging behaviour and habitat use of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar with hedgehog taxa from temperate environments
(
NaturePublishingGroup
, 2018 , Article)
We investigated seasonal changes in the ecology and behaviour of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar, particularly in respect to differences in behaviour between hedgehogs living in arid environments ...
Investigation on the effect of γ-irradiation on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of stretchable PVDF/Fe–ZnO nanocomposites for self-powering devices
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Stretchable films of PVDF nanocomposites containing iron doped ZnO (Fe-ZnO) nanoflowers are fabricated following simple solution mixing and ?-irradiation treatment. An increase in ?-phase crystallinity is noticed for the ...
Tundra Trait Team: A database of plant traits spanning the tundra biome
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Motivation: The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database includes field-based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome. This dataset can be used to address theoretical ...
Closing a gap - First records of bryophytes from the Qatar Peninsula
(
A.D.A.C.
, 2018 , Article)
The ephemeral or annual mosses Entosthodon fascicularis (Funariaceae), Microbryum starckeanum (Pottiaceae) and Pohlia melanodon (Mniaceae) were found in the understorey of natural Ziziphus nummularia shrubland in Qatar. ...
BRIP1 overexpression is correlated with clinical features and survival outcome of luminal breast cancer subtypes
(
BioScientifica Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
In Oman, breast cancer is most common, representing approximately more than 25% of all cancers in women. Relatively younger populations of patients (25-40 years) present surprisingly with an aggressive phenotype and advanced ...
Isolation, differentiation and biodiversity of ureolytic bacteria of Qatari soil and their potential in microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) for soil stabilization
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Biomineralization plays a key role in modifying the geological properties of soil, thereby stabilizing it against wind erosion, especially in areas characterized by harsh weather and harsh soil (calcareous and arid); i.e. ...
Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and climate. A better understanding of how environmental ...
Into the wild: Survival, movement patterns, and weight changes in captive Ethiopian hedgehogs, Paraechinus aethiopicus following their release
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
The survival, movement, and weight changes of 24 Ethiopian hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) were monitored following their release from captivity. A total of 13 females and 11 males were released and radio-tracked for ...
