Improved mechanical and corrosion properties of nickel composite coatings by incorporation of layered silicates
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Layered silicates as exfoliated montmorillonite are incorporated into nickel films by electrodeposition, enhancing both corrosion resistance and hardness. Films were deposited onto stainless steel from a plating solution ...
The Practice of Research Ethics in Lebanon and Qatar: Perspectives of Researchers on Informed Consent
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Informed consent requirements for conducting research with human participants are set by institutional review boards (IRBs) following established guidelines. Despite this, researchers continue to face challenges in seeking ...
Correlating structure and electronic band-edge properties in organolead halide perovskites nanoparticles
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
After having emerged as primary contenders in the race for highly efficient optoelectronics materials, organolead halide perovskites (OHLP) are now being investigated in the nanoscale regime as promising building blocks ...
A Portrait of Low-Income Migrants in Contemporary Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2013 , Article)
Though transnational labor migration in the Gulf States has increasingly been of
scholarly interest, that scholarship has to date relied largely on qualitative ethnographic
methodologies or small non-representative ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The use of microalgae culture technology (MCT) for mitigating CO2 emissions from flue gases and nutrient discharges from wastewater whilst generating a biofuel product is considered with reference to the cost benefit ...
Experimental determination of carbamate formation and amine protonation constants in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system and their temperature dependency
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...
Electrochemical performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene in aqueous media: towards ultrasensitive H2O2 sensing
(
Elsevier Ltd
