Winter thermoregulation of free-ranging Ethiopian hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimise heat gain during hotter months, and put less effort on how they maximise heat gain during cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to ...
Coral bleaching in extreme environments: speciesspecific thermal tolerance limits
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Increasing seawater temperatures are being measured worldwide, causing coral bleaching events during which the symbiosis between the coral host and its symbiotic zooxanthellae is disrupted, and a global decline in reef ...
Preliminary results on carbon and nutrients fluxes at the sediment-water interface in natural and planted mangroves, central Arabian Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Despite the many ecological services and benefits provided by the mangrove ecosystem, deforestation of mangrove ecosystem for industrial and other development has caused irreversible damage in coastal regions throughout ...
Genetic diversity of date palm genotypes in qatar as determined by SSR and ISSR markers
(
International Society for Horticultural Science
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Date palm is the most important fruit tree in Qatar. Recently developed techniques, based on DNA markers, offer new tools for genetic analysis. The objectives of the present study are to analyze the genetic diversity among ...
Database Facilitated Screening with NMR Spectroscopy Analysis for Drug Detection
(
IEEE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
© 2019 IEEE. Drug detection plays the key role in the enforcement of drug regulations. Various detection methods for them are thus developed. However, in most investigations, the most time-consuming and tedious part is not ...
Minimizing wind erosion using microbial induced carbonate precipitation
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to reduce the potential for wind erosion. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary wind tunnel experiments. ...
Laundry wastewater treatment using ultrafiltration under different operating conditions
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The laundry wastewater of one of the hospitals in Qatar was selected and studied. It was found that hospital laundry is releasing considerable amount of wastewater i.e. 1800 - 2500 liters/cycle while washing 40 - 50 kg of ...
Comparative Analysis of Antifungal Activity of Total Phenolics from Different Date Palm Cultivars Against Five Phyto Pathogenic Fungi
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Introduction: Pathogen attacks impose natural selection on plants to evolve complex arrays of defensive strategies. Among the diverse defensive mechanisms evolved by plants to withstand pathogen attack, the ability to ...
Global change: The Arabian Gulf ecosystem- An introduction
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The Arabian Gulf is a main source of wealth and food for the people of the Gulf countries. For hundreds of years, the Gulf used to be the main source for some of the finest pearls in the world. It harbors highly diverse ...
Analysis Of Date Palm Germplasm Phylogenetic Relationship Using Simple Sequence Repeat (ssr) Markers
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background: Microsatellite (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers are very powerful tool especially in plant genome analysis because they are locus-specific, co-dominant, highly polymorphic and highly reproducible. However, in ...
