Mechanistic insights into the remediation of bromide ions from desalinated water using roasted date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Bromide ions (Br−) are associated with toxic by-products that might be produced during the disinfection of drinking water. The removal of Br− from water using roasted date pits (RODPs) and activated carbon was investigated. ...
Antibiotics in hospital effluent and domestic wastewater treatment plants in Doha, Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Wastewater samples were collected from the main hospital’s effluent (HWW), influents and effluents of the old wastewater treatment plant (OWWTP) built in 1990 and the new one (NWWTP) built in 2010 located in Doha, Qatar. ...
Use of β-cyclodextrin as enhancer of ascorbic acid rejection in permselective films for amperometric biosensor applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Interference rejection in amperometric biosensors can be more effective introducing some modifiers during electro-deposition of permselective film. Addition of β-cyclodextrin (βCD), a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of ...
Indicator macroinvertebrate species in a temporary Mediterranean river: Recognition of patterns in binary assemblage data with a Kohonen artificial neural network
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Current classifications used in bioassessment programs, as defined by the Water Framework Directive (WFD), do not sufficiently capture the variability present in temporary Mediterranean streams. This may result in inaccurate ...
A MALDI-TOF study of bio-remediation in highly weathered oil contaminated soils
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
We have shown that Bacillus cereus is dominating the bacterial population at three polluted oil-industry sites
where weather and soil conditions are extreme in terms of temperature, UV-radiation and salinity. A minor ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The coastline of Qatar is a rich mosaic of productive and diverse ecosystems including mangrove forests, intertidal mudflats (sabkha), seagrass beds, and coral reefs. These ecologically interconnected ecosystems contain a ...
Usefulness of COMT gene polymorphisms in North African populations
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The COMT gene encodes for catechol-O-methyl-transferase, an enzyme playing a major role in regulation of synaptic catecholamine neurotransmitters. Investigating 4 markers of the COMT gene (rs2020917, rs4818, rs4680, ...
How functional traits of estuarine macrobenthic assemblages respond to metal contamination?
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of metal contamination on estuarine macrobenthic communities were investigated using the Biological Traits Analysis (BTA). The study was carried out in the Tagus estuary (western Portugal). Samples of macrobenthic ...
Electrospun Al2O3 hydrophobic functionalized membranes for heavy metal recovery using direct contact membrane distillation
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) was used to develop a novel functionalized electrospun membrane for the effective treatment of heavy metals in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applications. ...
