Microbial community composition and dolomite formation in the hypersaline microbial mats of the Khor Al-Adaid sabkhas, Qatar
(
Springer Tokyo
, 2019 , Article)
The Khor Al-Adaid sabkha in Qatar is among the rare extreme environments on Earth where it is possible to study the formation of dolomite-a carbonate mineral whose origin remains unclear and has been hypothetically linked ...
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
In different countries, hard separation is adopted as a technique to separate express and local lanes. However, in case of an incident, especially on the express lane, traffic jams can occur as there is no escape route. ...
The Integration of Dynamic Lane Grouping Technique and Signal Timing Optimization for Improving the Mobility of Isolated Intersections
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Spatial variations in traffic demand degrade intersection performance that can result in the waste of time�space resources. Existing control strategies of intersections assume fixed lane for movement assignment regardless ...
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ...

(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Hetero-nanostructures have proven to be impressive materials due to their multi-functionalities in various catalytic applications. Here, the basic focus has been devoted to interface chemistry among different domains in ...
Finance and fairness: enhancing the customer dispute resolution scheme (CDRS) in the Qatar financial centre (QFC)
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
The Customer Dispute Resolution Scheme (CDRS) is the primary dispute resolution mechanism for financial disputes involving retail clients in the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC). As the QFC has grown the CDRS has also ...
Influence of BaTiO 3 /white graphene filler synergy on the energy harvesting performance of a piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, a novel ternary polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) nanocomposite containing ceramic barium titanate nanoparticles (BaTiO 3 ) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanolayers is developed. An ...
Optimization of iron dosage for microalgal biomass production as a feedstock for biofuel
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Summary: Biomass and metabolite production of three marine (Tetraselmis sp., Nannochloropsis sp., Chlorocystis sp.) and three freshwater microalgae (Scenedesmus sp., Chlorella sp., Monoraphidium sp.) were studied under ...
Becoming Linked In: Leveraging Professional Networks for Elite Surveys and Interviews
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2019 , Article)
Finding and recruiting survey and interview participants remains an important and time-consuming process for mixed methods researchers. For those operating in cross-cultural contexts, these barriers are particularly salient ...
