Uncovering the Epigenetic Contribution of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) during Zebrafish Cardiomyogenesis
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
The heart develops through an extremely intricate process mediated by a network
of transcription factors initiated by key chromatin modification events. Scientist have
implicated the protein arginine methyltransferase ...
Development of a Novel Polymer-Modified Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites for Controlling Calcium Sulfate Scaling and Biofouling on Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Mechanistic Study
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a promising environment friendly desalination
technology for clean water production. However, the performance of RO is getting
affected by the mineral scaling and biofouling. During this research, ...
Impact of Prolonged Exposure to Sour Service on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Mechanism of Nace Carbon Steel Material Used In Wet Sour Gas Multiphase Pipeline in Qatar
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Oil and Gas industries involve severe corrosive/sour environmental conditions due
to H2S and CO2 and moisture content. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers, NACE,
has developed standards to enable the users ...
THE INFLUENCE OF SHEAR STRESS ON NANOMATERIAL'S UPTAKE BY CANCER
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Recently, nanotechnology products have been used for a variety of applications including the medical field. Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted a growing interest due to its unique properties and ultrathin ...
Designing of polyethylene-based material modified by plasma discharge for water/oil separation
(Material Science and Technology, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Produced water (PW) from petrochemical industries is one of the largest
wastewaters generated in Qatar. Soluble and insoluble oil contaminants occur in this
water and must be removed if water will be used or discharged ...
Goodness of Fit Testing for the Log-Logistic distribution Based on Type I Censored Data
(Applied Statistics, 2021 , Master Thesis)
The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the problem of the goodness of fit
test for Log-Logistic distribution based on empirical distribution function under Type
I censored data. The maximum likelihood estimation ...
The Impact of Economic Transformations On the Development of the Status of Women in The Arabian Gulf - The Case of Qatar and Bahrain
(Gulf Studies, 2020 , Dissertation)
Neoliberal socio-economic paradigms have become a dominant force in modern societies, including those in the Arabian Gulf region. Their rise has resulted in drastic changes within the role of states towards a focus on the ...
Designing Flexible and Porous Polystyrene/Silver Doped Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite Fiber Sorbents for Oil/Water Separation
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Master Thesis)
The aim of this work is to fabricate hydrophobic porous nanocomposite with
enhanced oil adsorption capacity and multifunctional features including antibacterial
and photocatalytic effect. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver doped ...
Role of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in WNT/β--CATENIN proliferative signaling in breast cancer
(Biological and Environmental Science, 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 ...
Variability in Genomic Patterns of Bacterial Communities Related to Tarmats and Quantification of Hydrocarbon Present in the Tarmats Deposited along the Qatar Coast
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Qatar has undergone a rapid transition from a fishing and small agriculture to an economy focused on oil and gas since 1960. Owing to the comparatively large level of oil and gas production, the region has become severely ...
