Qatar Culture Collection of Microalgae: A Sustainable Source for Biodiesel Production and Omega Fatty Acid Compounds
(
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 ...
Allelopathic effects of Casuarina equisetifolia L. on seed germination of some crop plants and their associated weeds
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Casuarina equisetifolia L. is a widespread tree that has been known for its allelopathic potential causing biological inhibition on plant seed germination. Leaf extract of Casuarina equisetifolia L. was evaluated for its ...
Investigation of long-term, basin-scale thermohaline trends in Qatar's marine region in response to environmental and climatic change
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The Arabian Gulf, an economically and geopolitically important marine area, is a semi-enclosed and shallow basin with an average depth 36 m. The Gulf is one of the seasonally warmest (i.e., in summer) and most saline marine ...
Photocatalytic Degradation Of Phenolic Compounds
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A great challenge for this century lies in cleaning-up the wastewater generated during industrial, domestic and agricultural activities before being released, into the aquatic environment, or reused for another purpose ...
Evaluation Of The Sensitivity Of Qatari Marine Microalgae Synechococcus Sp, To Three Reference Toxicants
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background Marine phytoplankton form the basis of the marine food chain and are essential for the normal functioning of ecosystems. Any disturbance to this component, due to the release and accumulation of toxic compounds ...
First Impact Assessment of Genotoxic Components in the Qatari Marine Environment
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed sea with very high evaporation and low discharge rates resulting in extreme saline and thermal conditions. Additionally the system is characterized by a weak hydrodynamic flushing resulting ...
Analysis of Partial Electrocoalescence by Level-Set and Finite Element Methods
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
Molecular and Peritoneal Microvascular Changes Cause Peritoneal Membrane Dysfunction by Uremia-Related Mechanisms
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with distinct peritoneal structural changes characterized by thickening of the sub-mesothelial cell layer, fibrosis and angiogenesis. These changes were assumed to be the ...
Molecular and Structural Changes in Induced-Brain Stroke Tissue Using FTIR Imaging Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Microscopy
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
1. Background: Stroke, i.e. loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain, is the main cause of adult disability (e.g. paralysis) in the world, leaving more than half of the patients dependent ...
Inorganic Porous Materials Based Epoxy Self-Healing Coatings
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The long-term stability of protective coating for metal is critically important for structural applications [1, 2]. Self-healing ability extend the service life of protective coatings leading to a significant reduction in ...
