(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Despite the relatively long experience of charitable organizations in social and humanitarian aspects in Qatar, little is known about their role in food security and sustainability. This chapter sheds light on the issue ...
Intercellular Communication in Cancer
(
Springer
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Junctional complexes play a central role in maintaining tissue hemostasis. The barrier function of epithelial cells, that maintain tissues coherence and coordination of cellular synchronicity, is a consequence of a junctional ...
Assessing Desalination Governance and the Promise of Technology in the Arabian Peninsula
(
AL SHARQ STRATEGIC RESEARCH
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Desalination is expected to grow across the Middle East and
North Africa due to increased water scarcity. The cost of desalinated water
has decreased significantly over the last decades, but it has not reflected
the ...
Cancer Metastasis: Dynamic Hetero-cellular Communications Between Cancer Cells and Host Tissues
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Metastasis is the most devastating aspect of cancer. Originally, tumor cells arise from a single clone, and then they undergo additional mutations and acquire invasive and metastatic features. These acquired mutations are ...

(
Wiley
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability worldwide TBI involves an initial primary phase triggered by an impactful force to the brain and a subsequent secondary pathological phase. ...
Fluid-rock interactions in tight gas reservoirs: Wettability, pore structural alteration, and associated multiphysics transport
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Tight and unconventional reservoirs such as shales are rich in clay minerals that give rise to several fluid-rock interactions. The effect of such fluid-rock interactions is manifested at multiscales. The fluid-rock ...
Introduction to reservoir fluids and rock properties
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Hydrocarbon reservoirs contain gas, oil, water, and brine within the pores. The interactions between these fluids and the reservoir rocks have a considerable role in distributing the phases in the porous media. Understanding ...
Molecular simulations in upstream applications
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
The development of powerful computers and molecular simulation has allowed researchers to use them to get useful information about electronic properties related to chemical and physical interactions at the molecular level. ...
Rheology of upstream complex fluids
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Rheology is an important characterizing technique as it affects all types of fluids. While oil and gas recovery is an operation that depends mainly on the interaction between different fluids, it is therefore important to ...
Effect of Water Stress (Drought and Waterlogging) on Medicinal Plants
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Climate change causes different biotic and abiotic stresses to the plants, water stress being one of them. Water stress includes water-logging (flooding) and water deficit (drought). These stresses restrict the plant’s ...
