NEW FLEXIBLE POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE NANOCOMPOSITES FOR FUTURE APPLICATIONS
(Materials Science & Technology, 2017 , Master Thesis)
In this work, we report novel flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hybrid
pressure sensors with good mechanical properties. Hybrid combinations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with different nano metal oxides -titanium ...
GLOBALIZATION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN QATAR: DOES EXPOSURE TO GLOBALIZATION LEAD TO CHANGES IN NATIONAL IDENTITY ACROSS DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF QATARI CITIZENS?
(Gulf Studies, 2017 , Master Thesis)
This era is marked by globalization, a process whereby states and individuals are interconnected through a global network. Globalization entails the emergence of a global culture which is considered a threat to national ...
Local politics: examining the political participation of Qatari women in the central municipal council elections
(Gulf Studies, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Qatar embarked on a political progressive reform path with the announcement of Central Municipal Council elections in 1999, granting universal suffrage in the same year. The participation of Qatari women since then has be ...
Grass Establishment, Weed Populations and Soil Microbial Succession in Turf Grass System as Influenced by Produced Water Irrigation
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Agricultural water use is high in a world marred with water scarcity, thus necessitating alternative water resources such as wastewaters. This study attempted to use produced water (PW) to irrigate turf grass - Cynodon ...
The Application of Nanoparticles of Waste Tires in Remediating Boron from Desalinated Water
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2017 , Master Thesis)
A waste tire rubber (WTR) collected from the remains discarded tires has exhibited a noteworthy capacity to adsorb Boron. In the current study, the boron adsorption remediation from water at selected pH values, initial ...
The impact of using produced water for plant irrigation and its effects on plants and soil characteristics
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2017 , Master Thesis)
In this study, locally produced water was physically and chemically characterized. The results showed high concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, sodium, boron ions and sodium adsorption ratio as 300, ...
Er Doped III-Nitride Semiconductors
(Material Science and Technology, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Erbium ions (Er3+) doped in a solid material enables the intra 4f shell transitions from its first excited state (4I13/2) to the ground state (4I15/2). The intra-4f shell transition at 1540 nm is of exceptional interest ...
Properties and thermal stabilization of Nanocrystalline copper via solute additions of niobium
(Material Science and Technology, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Nanocrystalline materials, those with grain size <100 nm, were found to have superior mechanical properties compared to their coarse-grained (CG) counterparts. However, these materials are not thermally stable because of ...
An Analysis of the bilateral relations between Qatar and Japan : Case studies on Energy, Culture and Diplomacy
(Gulf Studies, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Energy is considered as an important pillar in the establishment of international relations where it plays a heavy role in shaping the relations. In the light of this, an analysis of the Qatar-Japan relations will be studied ...
Comparative study of SMES in Dubai and south Korea
(Gulf Studies, 2017 , Master Thesis)
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have enjoyed large amounts of oil revenues for their development and prosperity over past fifty years or so. However, since the dramatic drop in oil prices in 2014, all the GCC ...
