Expanding or shrinking? range shifts in wild ungulates under climate change in Pamir-Karakoram mountains, Pakistan
(
Public Library of Science
, 2021 , Article)
Climate change is expected to impact a large number of organisms in many ecosystems, including several threatened mammals. A better understanding of climate impacts on species can make conservation efforts more effective. ...
Patterns of livestock depredation and Human–wildlife conflict in Misgar valley of Hunza, Pakistan
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Throughout the world, livestock predation by mammalian carnivores causes significant economic losses to poor farmers, and leads to human–wildlife conflicts. These conflicts result in a negative attitude towards carnivore ...
Systematic laboratory approach to produce Mg-rich carbonates at low temperature
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2021 , Article)
Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ...
A better understanding of seawater reverse osmosis brine: Characterizations, uses, and energy requirements
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Before investing in any optimizing technology for the recovery and reuse of brine resources, it is of importance to study the full physicochemical characteristics of the brine. In the current study, the physicochemical ...

An updated review on boron removal from water through adsorption processes
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
Boron is an essential micronutrient that has raised much interest, given the narrow balance between its necessity and toxicity. Both natural and anthropogenic emissions of boron into water sources can eventually deteriorate ...
Copolyamide-clay nanotube polymer composite nanofiber membranes: Preparation, characterization and its asymmetric wettability driven oil/water emulsion separation towards sewage remediation
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
To address the problem of ever-increasing oily wastewater management, due to its directional liquid transport property, membranes with asymmetric wettability can be effectively used for emulsion separation. This study ...
Evaluation by MALDI-TOF MS and PCA of the diversity of biosurfactants and their producing bacteria, as adaption to weathered oil components
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Indigenous Qatari bacterial strains were isolated from highly weathered oil-contaminated sites, identified, and differentiated based on their protein profiles using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight ...
Study of bacterial interactions in reconstituted hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortia from a local collection, for the bioremediation of weathered oily-soils
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
To enhance the process of bacterial remediation of weathered hydrocarbons, the area of Dukhan, Qatar, was considered as a model for weathering processes. Self-purification by indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria showed ...
