Rational synthesis of three-dimensional core-double shell upconversion nanodendrites with ultrabright luminescence for bioimaging application
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
Engineering the morphology of rare-earth doped NaYF4-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can effectively tune their upconversion luminescence emission (UCLE) properties. Herein, we rationally synthesized a new class ...
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 ...
Synthesis, characterization, and application of novel Ni-P-carbon nitride nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Dispersion of 2D carbon nitride (C3N4) nanosheets into a nickel phosphorous (NiP) matrix was successfully achieved by ultrasonication during the electroless plating of NiP from an acidic bath. The morphology and thickness, ...
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 ...
Environmental Evaluation Risk Assessment and Management options of Abu Nakhla Treated Sewage Effluent TSE Unlined Pond Doha Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The rapid economic and population growth of Qatar during the last few decades led to generation of substantial volume of municipal treated sewage effluent (TSE). Most of this water was disposed into Abu Nakhla depression ...
Durability characteristics of high and ultra-high performance concretes
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Durability characteristics of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are evaluated in comparison to normal strength concrete (NSC). HPC and UHPC are cast using commonly available materials ...
Evaluation of cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membrane for volume reduction of real industrial effluents through an osmotic concentration process: A pilot-scale study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The current article tackles the challenge of reducing wastewater volumes generated from the gas industry. A forward osmosis (FO) pilot unit, deployed as osmotic concentration (OC) process without the draw solution (DS) ...
SLiFi: Exploiting Visible Light Communication VLC to Authenticate WiFi Access Points
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This work presents an effective and efficient solution (SLiFi) to the evil twin attack in wireless networks. The evil twin is a rogue Wifi Access Point (AP) that pretends to be an authentic one by using the same network ...
