Validation of Novel Transcriptional Targets that Underpin CD44-promoted breast cancer cell invasion
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer worldwide, and metastasis is its worst aspect and the first cause of death. Metastasis is a multistep process, where an invasion is a recurring event. The process ... -
Validation of the Arabic version of the Social Communication Questionnaire
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2019 , Article)Validated screening and diagnostic tools for autism spectrum disorder for use in Arabic-speaking individuals are scarce. This study validated the Arabic version of the Social Communication Questionnaire. The total study ... -
Validity and reliability of the session-RPE method for quantifying training load in karate athletes
( Edizioni Minerva Medica , 2015 , Article)Aim: Aim of the study was to test the construct validity and reliability of the session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE) method by examining the relationship between RPE and physiological parameters (heart rate: HR and ... -
Validity of the effective potential method to study PT-symmetric field theories
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)We calculate the one loop effective potential for the class (-(iϕ)α) of PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian field theories in 0+1 space-time dimensions. To test the method, we showed that for the massless Hermitian ϕ4 theory, ... -
Valorization of palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera L.) leaves from harsh weather climate by silage using endogenous lactic acid bacteria, and application of MALDI-TOF MS for study of populations dynamics
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Preservation of green palm leaves by silage preserves them as green feed in addition to the added value of probiotics and prebiotics. In this work, the characterization of fresh palm tree leaves was performed. The isolation ... -
valuation of salt tolerance in selected Qatari halophytes at the two initial growth stages
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Scarcity of water and availability of land for agricultural production are the most environmental issues that facing the (GCC) countries and Qatar one of them. Qatar lies in region which characterized by having high ... -
Vanadium(V) complexes with hydrazides and their spectroscopic and biological properties
( Springer Netherlands , 2017 , Article)The present study explores the synthesis and inhibitory potential of vanadium(V) complexes of hydrazides (1c-12c) against oxidative enzymes including xanthine oxidase and lipoxygenase (LOX). In addition, non-enzymatic ... -
Variability of Physical and Biogeochemical Parameters in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)The oceanographic data collected along a transect in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during late summer (September 2014) and winter (January 2015) have been analyzed to investigate the spatial and temporal ... -
