Photodegradation and Its Effect on Plant Litter Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Systematic Review
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article Review)
Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation ...
An overview of heavy metals toxicity in plants, tolerance mechanism, and alleviation through lysine-chelation with micro-nutrients—A novel approach
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article Review)
Abstract: Plants must adapt themselves to the prevailing conditions for their survival, resulting in the acquisition of a wide range of metal tolerance mechanisms. Although many metal elements are essential for the growth ...
Natural and depleted uranium in the topsoil of Qatar: Is it something to worry about?
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This study examines uranium in soils of Qatar to investigate whether there is any detectable traces of depleted uranium (DU). 409 soil samples were collected using a 10km grid system throughout the State of Qatar. The U ...
A market basket survey of As, Zn and Se in rice imports in Qatar: Health implications
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Qatar is dependent on importation of rice, its staple dish, and is therefore susceptible to compromises of food quality in the global market. This market basket study assesses potential health risks of As exposure from ...
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction.
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
The effect of graphene structural integrity on the power factor of tin selenide nanocomposite
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Tin selenide graphene nanocomposites (SnSe/GNPs) were fabricated with high-energy ball milling and hot pressing by varying the milling time of graphene. The effect of ball milling time on the graphene integrity and the ...
l-Proline-Catalyzed Three-Component Reaction of 4-Chloro-3-formylcoumarin, Sodium Sulfide, and α-Halo Ketones: A Direct Approach to Thieno[3,2- c ]coumarins
(
Georg Thieme Verlag KG
, 2023 , Other)
A new protocol for the synthesis of thieno[3,2-c]coumarins is disclosed. In this method, a 3-formyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-thiolate anion is generated in situ by treatment of 4-chloro-3-formylcoumarin with sodium sulfide. ...
Ultra-trace Measurements of 210Pb in natural occurring radioactive materials by ICP-MS
(
Elsevier
, 2010 , Article)
Collision cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CC-ICP-MS) was investigated as a possible alternative to nuclear analytical techniques for the determination of 210Pb. The formation of isobaric and polyatomic ...
