A New Class of Electrocatalyst Materials for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has been attracting lots of attention as a power source for transportation, stationary and portable electronic devices due to the high energy density of methanol and ease of handling compared ...
Investigating algal CO2 capture through screening of Qatari desert microalgae & cyanobacteria strains
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae has been addressed as a possible global carbon emissions reducer, whilst simultaneously producing useful products. Especially in Qatar, the prospect of using microalgae for CO2 ...
The Assessment of Pedestrian-Vehicle Conflicts at Crosswalks Considering Sudden Pedestrian Speed Change Events
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Introduction: Pedestrians are vulnerable road users. In Japan, more than one-third of the fatalities in traffic crashes are pedestrians and most accidents occur as the pedestrians cross a road. To evaluate alternative ...
Qatar University culture collection: A source of biodiversity and numerous applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks….) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity….). During their phases ...
Effectiveness of antipseudomonal antibiotics and mechanisms of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(
Polish Society of Microbiologists
, 2016 , Article)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading human pathogen that causes serious infections at various tissues and organs leading to life threatening health problems and possible deadly outcomes. Resistance patterns vary widely ...
Optimization and Prediction of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene/LLDPE Nanocomposites by Using Artificial Neural Networks
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
The focus of this work is to develop the knowledge of prediction of the physical and chemical properties of processed linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/graphene nanoplatelets composites. Composites made from LLDPE ...
Novel analysis of glycan structures: Nanoscale approach
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Glycans are complex saccharide moieties covering all cell surfaces - presented on different biomolecules. Almost 75% of all proteins are glycosylated, and these glycans can form thousands of different structures.[1] Moreover, ...
The eutherian pseudoautosomal region
(
S. Karger AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
The pseudoautosomal region (PAR) is a unique segment of sequence homology between differentiated sex chromosomes where recombination occurs during meiosis. Molecular and functional properties of the PAR are distinctive ...
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ...
Effect of barrier plasma pre-treatment on polyester films and their adhesive properties on oak wood
(
North Carolina State University
, 2016 , Article)
A barrier plasma, created at atmospheric pressure, was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of polyester (PES) film with respect to wood using polyurethane adhesives. The modification of PES film surfaces ...
