( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Calcium carbonate, one of the most abundant minerals in the geological records is considered as primary source of the carbon reservoir. The role of microorganisms in the biotic precipitation of calcium carbonate has been ... -
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ... -
Microbially induced calcite precipitation in calcareous soils by endogenous Bacillus cereus, at high pH and harsh weather
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) improves the physical properties of soils by increasing the solid content, decreasing the pore sizes and improving the rigidity of the particle-to-particle contact ending ... -
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ... -
Reuse of Sludge as Organic Soil Amendment: Insights into the Current Situation and Potential Challenges
( MDPI , 2023 , Article Review)Sludge generation as an organic by-product of wastewater treatment has seen a consistent increase worldwide due to population growth and industrial activities. This poses a chronic challenge regarding management options ... -
Interaction between indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in reconstituted mixtures for remediation of weathered oil in soil
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)It has been demonstrated that biostimulation is necessary to investigate the interactions between indigenous bacteria and establish an approach for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with weathered oil. This was ... -
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 ... -
Shear and Tensile Strength Measurements of CaCO 3 Cemented Bonds between Glass Beads Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2023 , Article)The particle-scale shear and tensile strength measurements of microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treatment have been investigated in this paper. Glass beads were used to represent sand particles. Three ... -
A social-ecological perspective for emerging cities: The case of Corniche promenade, “urban majlis” of Doha
