Modulation of Plant Defense System in Response to Microbial Interactions
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
© Copyright © 2020 Nishad, Ahmed, Rahman and Kareem. At different stages throughout their life cycle, plants often encounter several pathogenic microbes that challenge plant growth and development. The sophisticated innate ...
Environmental impact of utilization of “produced water” from oil and gas operations in turfgrass systems
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020, The Author(s). This study attempted to use produced water (PW) to irrigate turfgrass species, Cynodon dactylon and Paspalum sp. Assessment on established grasses, heavy metal accumulation and germination tests for ...
High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion (AD), being the most effective treatment method of waste activated sludge (WAS), allows for safe disposal. The present study deals with the electro-Fenton (EF) pretreatment for enhancing the WAS biogas ...
Two new sponge species (Demospongiae: Chalinidae and Suberitidae) isolated from hyperarid mangroves of Qatar with notes on their potential antibacterial bioactivity.
(
Public Library of Science
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents the taxonomic description of two new sponge species that are intimately associated with the hyperarid mangrove ecosystem of Qatar. The study includes a preliminary evaluation of the sponges' potential ...
Effect of U-turns and heavy vehicles on the saturation flow rates of left-turn lanes at signalized intersections
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 by the authors. The Saturation Flow Rate (SFR) is a primary measure that can be used when estimating intersection capacity. Further, the efficiency of signal control parameters also depends on the accuracy of assumed ...
Production of flexible nanocomposite membranes for x-ray detectors
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Flexible membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymer and CuO nanoparticles for x-ray detection applications are reported in this work. PVA represents a polymer matrix for nanoparticles, and its flexibility and electrical ...
First principle investigation of H2Se, H2Te and PH3 sensing based on graphene oxide
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Detecting toxic gases is of great importance to protect our health and preserve the quality of life. In this work, graphene (G) and graphene oxide with three different modifications (G–O, G–OH, and G–O–OH) have been used ...
DFT investigation of H2S adsorption on graphenenanosheets and nanoribbons: Comparative study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Graphenenanosheet (GNS), armchair graphenenanoribbon (AGNR), and zigzag graphenenanoribbon (ZGNR) systems were investigated by first principle calculations using the density functional theory (DFT). The DFT calculations ...

© 2020, The Author(s). This study demonstrates the use of ASTER data to map the siltation of the Al-Khod Dam constructed at the lower reaches of Samail Catchment area, north Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. In this study, the ...
Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2020 , Article)
Climate change is expected to affect alpine and Arctic tundra communities. Most previous long-term studies have focused on impacts on vascular plants, this study examined impacts of long-term warming on bryophyte communities. ...
