Environmental impacts of using municipal biosolids on soil, plant and groundwater qualities
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three different rates of municipal biosolids produced in Qatar on plant characteristics and soil texture and its potential impacts on groundwater. Petunia atkinsiana, was ...
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ...
Comparing metabolic profiles between female endurance athletes and non-athletes reveals differences in androgen and corticosteroid levels
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Endurance training is associated with physiological changes in elite athletes, but little is known about female-specific effects of endurance training. Despite the significant rise in female sports participation, findings ...
Vibration sensing systems based on poly(Vinylidene fluoride) and microwave-assisted synthesized zno star-like particles with controllable structural and physical properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This study deals with the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) star-like filler addition to the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix, and its effect on the structural and physical properties and consequences to the vibration ...
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ...
Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, we report the isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Isora plant fibers by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and their assembly on hydrophilic cellulose and silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) surfaces via a layer-by-layer ...
Sanguinarine mediated apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via generation of reactive oxygen species and suppression of JAK/STAT pathway
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Effective treatment of lung cancer remains a significant clinical challenge due to its multidrug resistance and side effects of the current treatment options. The high mortality associated with this malignancy indicates ...
Gas Sensing and Power Harvesting Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites Containing Hybrid Nanotubes
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Gas sensing properties at room temperature and energy harvesting performances are realized for the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposites containing titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes grown in the presence of carbon ...
Core-shell nanofibers of polyvinylidene fluoride-based nanocomposites as piezoelectric nanogenerators
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENG) are widely applied to harvest sustainable energy from multiple energy sources. The rational and simple design of PENG have great potential in soft electronics. Here we design a ...
The separation of emulsified water/oil mixtures through adsorption on plasma-treated polyethylene powder
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This paper addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by ...
