Inference In The Log-Logistic Distribution Based On An Adaptive Progressive Type-Ii Censoring Scheme
(2019 , Master Thesis)The primary aim of this study is to explore the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and the Bayesian approach to estimate the parameters of log-logistic model and calculate the approximate confidence interval for the ... -
INFLUENCE OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF) ISOLATED FROM ARID ZONES ON PLANT GROWTH, PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS AND RESPONSE TO SALINITY CONDITIONS IN ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA)
(2022 , Dissertation)The present study is aimed to isolate native effective species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from the Qatari environment and to subject these isolates for evaluation to support the growth of Medicago sativa under saline ... -
The Influence of Carbon Nanotubes on the Thermoelectric Properties of Bismuth Telluride
(2020 , Professional Masters Project)Thermoelectric materials are devices that have the ability to convert waste heat to electricity. The widespread use of thermoelectric materials is currently limited by the low value of their figure-of-merit (ZT). Bismuth ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF SHEAR STRESS ON NANOMATERIAL'S UPTAKE BY CANCER

Initial Assessment of Environmental Microbial Hazards in Doha Restaurants
(2017 , Master Thesis)This study was carried out to assess hygiene conditions, food handling practices, food safety knowledge of food service providers (FSPs), and the microbial quality of food served in different food service establishments ... -
INSIGHTS INTO THE NATURAL DEGRADATION RATE OF PLASTICS IN THE SEAWATER ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR DEGRADATION BY-PRODUCTS (PHTHALATES AND BISPHENOL A)
(2023 , Master Thesis)Most plastics end up in the oceans. Their chemical additives that leach out into the ocean can be detrimental to humans and animals. This study investigates the degradation-fragmentation of different plastic types for 140 ... -
An Integrated Approach to Benthic Habitat Classification of the North Eastern Qatar Marine Zone Using Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System, and in Situ Measurements
(2014 , Master Thesis)A key aspect in the conservation management of the coastal marine zone is mapping the benthic habitat, which is the focus of the work presented in this project. Multispectral Worldview-2 (WV2) satellite data acquired in ... -
INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITIES OF DIOSMETIN IN COLORECTAL CANCER CELLS: AN IN VITRO STUDY
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Diosmetin, a bioflavonoid isolated from citrus fruits, has been reported to have cytotoxic effects against various types of cancer. Although Diosmetin is found to have cytotoxic effects in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) cells, ... -
Investigation and Biological Control of Toxigenic Fungi and Mycotoxins in Dairy Cattle Feed
(2020 , Master Thesis)Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites synthesized by mycotoxigenic fungi, contaminating human and animal food and feed. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxins (OTA) are frequently detected in animal feed products causing ... -
