Mobile Epifauna Associated To Artificial Substrates In Offshore Qatari Waters
(Environmental Sciences, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Offshore human-made structures including oil and gas platforms and other energy producing
structures, such as foundations of windfarms, serve as hard substratum supporting diverse marine
communities of invertebrates both ...
ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION, DIFFERENTIATION AND SCREENING OF LOCAL AEROBIC UREOLYTIC BACTERIA INVOLVED IN MICROBIALLY INDUCED CALCIUM CARBONATE PRECIPITATION IN QATARI SOIL.
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Biomineralization plays an important role in stabilizing the soil by modifying its geological and physical properties, hence, acting as a stabilizer against wind erosion specially in regions characterized by harsh soil ...
ANTIMICROBIAL AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF SELECTED QATARI FLORA
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Conventional medicine has been challenged by various issues, including drug resistance and safety. On the other hand, Complementary Alternative Medicine has been increasingly gaining the interest of the scientific community ...
Elemental Composition, Source Tracking, And Air Quality Assessment Of Pm2.5 And Pm10 Pollution In Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Particulate matter (PM) pollution is one of the major environmental pollution issues
severely affecting human health and air quality all over the world. Based on the recent
World Health Organization (WHO) report, PM ...
Optimizing The Remediation Of Organophosphorus Pesticide Profenofos From Water Using Activated Date Pits: Mechanistic Studies
(Environmental Sciences, 2019 , Master Thesis)
The aim of the study was to examine the efficiency of date pits as an adsorbent to remove the organophosphate pesticide profenofos from wastewater. Various adsorption isotherms models namely Langmuir isotherm, Freundlich ...
ROLE OF AEROBIC BACTERIA IN DOLOMITE FORMATION IN THE EVAPORITIC ENVIRONMENTS OF QATAR SABKHAS
(Biological and Environmental Science, 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 ...
A Microbiological Risk Assessment At The Fresh Produce Wholesale Market In Doha
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2019 , Dissertation)
Food contamination is a challenging problem in many developing countries, like Qatar where the majority of food is imported. The wholesale fresh produce market (WSFPM) in Doha is considered as the major produce market from ...
Distinctive Physiology (Growth and Photosynthetic Efficiency) of Qatari Corals Under Variable Dynamic Factors, An Experimental Approach
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2014 , Master Thesis)
The Arabian Gulf is well known as being probably the most extreme environment in which zooxanthellate coral reef communities occur. A combination of both extremely high and low temperatures as well as high salinities, ...
Northeastern Qatari coast hydrodynamic modeling for assessment of sensitive ecosystems under anthropogenic and natural stressors
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2015 , Master Thesis)
The Northeastern Qatari coast, comprising diverse and sensitive flora and fauna communities (e.g. coral reefs and patches, seagrass meadows and turtles) is expected to undergo changes imposed by anthropogenic stressors ...
Isolation and Screening of Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacterial Strains for Bioremediation of Petroleum Pollution in Qatar
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2013 , Master Thesis)
Pollution, due to activities related to the oil industry, represents a serious threat to the natural environment. The application of biotechnological methods provides much safer and sustainable alternatives for bioremediation ...
