Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
NF-κB Essential MOdulator (NEMO) Is Critical for Thyroid Function
(
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
, 2016 , Article)
The I-κB kinase (IKK) subunit NEMO/IKKγ (NEMO) is an adapter molecule that is critical for canonical activation of NF-κB, a pleiotropic transcription factor controlling immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis ...
Preparation and characterisation of Ce:YAG -polycarbonate composites for white LED
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-polycarbonate composites were prepared with several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5 wt.% by using melt compounding. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry ...
Molecular and electronic structure elucidation of Fe2+/Fe3+ complexed chelators used in iron sulphide scale removal in oil and gas wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT are employed to study the electronic structure and binding affinity of chelators used in the removal of iron sulphide scales. Three chelating agents, EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA, are ...
Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The domestication of non-food salt resistant plants could be helpful for biofuel as well as phyto-remediation of salt-affected lands. Limited eco-physiological studies on halophytes are the major bottleneck in developing ...
Hypoxia in the central Arabian Gulf Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during summer season
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract One of the most fascinating and unexpected discoveries during the Qatar University Marine Expeditions to the marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in 2000–2001, was the detection of a hypoxic water layer ...
Direct electroreduction of indium and tin oxides in molten salts
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Indium is a rare metal. The largest end use for indium is in thinfilm coatings as indium oxide combined with 10 percent tin oxide (ITO). However, indium has recycling rates less than 1%. Indium and tin are especially well ...
Rheology of a viscoelastic zwitterionic surfactant used in acid stimulation: Effects of surfactant and electrolyte concentration
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Acid diversion systems play an important role in increasing the efficiency of the acid stimulation process. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) based diverting systems have many advantages that make them preferred for well acid ...
One-dimensional facile growth of MAPbI3 perovskite micro-rods
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
One-dimensional microrods (4–5 mm) of PbI2 and CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) with unique structural and morphological properties have been grown at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of both types of micro-rods exhibit ...
Grain refining and improving mechanical properties of a warm rolled AZ31 alloy plate
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
The mechanical properties of an AZ31 magnesium alloy were improved after warm rolling. The study involved a pre-rolling condition in which the material consisted of twins, playing a key role in recrystallization grain ...
