Relationship between structure, properties and UV/Heat protection behavior of two different types of polyethylene manufactured in Qatar
(2021 , Professional Masters Project)Accelerated (artificial) weathering and thermal ageing tests were performed to investigate the effectiveness of different UV/HALS formulations in reducing the UV/heat degradation effect for two different low-density ... -
Reliability analysis of the Stress-Strength model from truncated Pareto distribution based on progressive Type-II censored samples.
(2023 , Professional Masters Project)In this project, we studied the stress strength reliability (SSR) models. The stress-strength model has many applications in engineering problems, for example the strength of a building being subjected to earthquake, the ... -
ROLE OF AEROBIC BACTERIA IN DOLOMITE FORMATION IN THE EVAPORITIC ENVIRONMENTS OF QATAR SABKHAS
(2018 , Dissertation)Sabkha (salt flats) are extreme evaporitic environments inhabited by a large diversity of halophilic microorganisms. Sabkhas have been studied to understand the microbemineral interactions that lead to the formation of ... -
ROLE OF CHRONIC CADMIUM EXPOSURE ON ADIPOSE TISSUE FUNCTION
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic environmental pollutant with a bioaccumulation feature that exceeds 35 years without a known biological role in the living systems. Recently, Cd was found to be accumulated in adipose tissue (AT) ... -
The Role of Key Impurity Elements on the Performance of Aluminium Electrolysis - Current Efficiency and Metal Quality
(2015 , Master Thesis)Impurities such as phosphorus and silicon mainly enter the aluminium electrolysis process with alumina. These impurities dissolve in the electrolyte and affect the performance of the electrolysis, the emissions from the ... -
Role of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in WNT/β--CATENIN proliferative signaling in breast cancer
(2020 , Dissertation)Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) activity is dysregulated in many aggressive cancers and its enhanced levels are associated with increased tumor growth and survival. In this study, we show that PRMT5 is ... -
THE ROLE OF TWITTER HASHTAGS IN GULF STATES
(2016 , Master Thesis)Traditional and state-controlled media in the Arabian Gulf have always been censored and controlled. Therefore, social media, such as Twitter, have replaced the traditional media and the way media is handled. Twitter has ... -
