Inflammogenesis of Secondary Spinal Cord Injury
(
Frontiers Media
, 2016 , Article)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) and spinal infarction lead to neurological complications and eventually to paraplegia or quadriplegia. These extremely debilitating conditions are major contributors to morbidity. Our understanding ...
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. ...
Effect of gamma radiation on the morphology and Thermophysical properties of the pollen wall of Phoenix dactylifera L.
(
Qatar University
, 1994 , Article)
Pollen grains of Phoenix dactylifera were exposed to different doses of gamma radiation (250,500,1000 rad and 1 M rad). To access the effect of radiation on the external morphology of the pollen grains, they were examined ...
Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ...
A spherical-plot solution to linking acceleration metrics with animal performance, state, behaviour and lifestyle
(
BioMed Central
, 2016 , Article)
Background
We are increasingly using recording devices with multiple sensors operating at high frequencies to produce large volumes of data which are problematic to interpret. A particularly challenging example comes from ...
Application of low-fermenting yeast Lachancea thermotolerans for the control of toxigenic fungi Aspergillus parasiticus, Penicillium verrucosum and Fusarium graminearum and their mycotoxins

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Mycotoxins are important contaminants of food and feed. In this study, low fermenting yeast (Lachancea thermotolerans) and its derivatives were applied against ...
Promoter–enhancer looping at the PPARγ2 locus during adipogenic differentiation requires the Prmt5 methyltransferase
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article)
PPARγ2 is a critical lineage-determining transcription factor that is essential for adipogenic differentiation. Here we report characterization of the three-dimensional structure of the PPARγ2 locus after the onset of ...
Helminth parasite larvae collected from Arabian Gulf Fish. 4. description of 4 larvae including two metacercarae, one didymozoid and one acanthocephalan from Emirati coasts
(
Arabian Gulf University
, 2005 , Article)
Four hilminth larvae from different fish hosts caught from Emirati coasts are described. Two are metacercariae related to genus Stephanostomum, type (I) and (II). Type (I) was found encycsted in body cavities of the Indian ...
