What are artificial intelligence literacy and competency? A comprehensive framework to support them
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Artificial intelligence (AI) education in K–12 schools is a global initiative, yet planning and executing AI education is challenging. The major frameworks are focused on identifying content and technical knowledge (AI ... -
Degraded Arid Soil Reclamation for Cotton Cultivation Using Organic Waste Amendments
(2024 , Conference Paper)Qatar is one of the most fertilizer-dependent countries due to challenging soil and climatic conditions. The country strives toward self-sufficiency in agricultural production in alignment with the Qatar National Vision ... -
Use of waste marble powder for the synthesis of novel calcium-rich biochar: Characterization and application for phosphorus recovery in continuous stirring tank reactors
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study investigates—for the first time—the synthesis of a novel Ca-rich biochar (N–Ca–B) and its potential use for phosphorus (P) recovery from both synthetic solutions (SS) and treated urban wastewater (TUW) in a ... -
Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Semiarid regions have particularly been confronted with climate change effects reflected by the consistent decrease of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration. This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for ... -
CO2 Reduction to Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuel - Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis
( Springer Nature , 2017 , Article)We report on a wide-range Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigation of the g-C3N4 photocatalysis systems combined with metals/nonmetals, especially those available in plants and involved in the natural photosynthesis ... -
A comparison of the redox properties of vanadia-based mixed oxides
( American Chemical Society (ACS) , 2015 , Article)The thermodynamics of oxidation and reduction were investigated for a series of vanadium-containing oxides, including CeVO4, LaVO 4, ZrV2O7, Mg3(VO4) 2, CrVO4, AlVO4, and V2O 5, in the temperature range between 873 and 973 ... -
Zero-bias photocurrents in highly-disordered networks of Ge and Si nanowires
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2015 , Article)Semiconducting nanowire (NW) devices have garnered attention in self-powered electronic and optoelectronic applications. This work explores and exhibits, for the first time for visible light, clear evidence of the zero-biased ... -
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2016 , Article)We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ... -
Development of highly active and coke-resilient Ni-based catalysts for low-temperature steam reformation of methane

Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2014 , Conference Paper)We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ... -
Oxygen passivation as effective technique for tailoring the nature of band gap of silicon nanowires
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2015 , Conference Paper)Silicon nanowires have been subjected to several experiential and theoretical studies, including chemical tuning with different substituents aiming to tailor the band gap as well as increasing optical absorption efficiency ... -
