Prospects of Biocrude Production Potential from Local Diatom
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
A marine diatom Nitzchia reversa was grown in 5 sq. m open raceway pond (10
cm culture depth, 500 L culture volume) in the Qatari desert environment. After 7
days of growth, the final biomass density reached 0.52 g/L, ...
Linking Soil Chemical Parameters and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Much of Qatar’s habitats are characterized by a hyper-arid climate, low rainfall
and scarce soil nutrients; all of which combine to create a stress-induced environment
for fungal development. Agricultural productivity ...
Investigation of the Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Mineral Formation and Magnesium Incorporation by Bacteria from Qatari Sabkhas and Marine Sediments
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Mineral-forming bacteria are of great interest in arid environments specifically. These
environments are favorable for enhancing the microbial carbonate deposition that is
thought to largely influence the sedimentary ...
ASSESSMENT OF ORDERING PRACTICES AT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER (BRC)- METABOLIC RESEARCH LABORATORY (MRL)
(Biomedical Sciences, 2021 , Professional Masters Project)
Background: Assessment of the purchasing and ordering process in the
Metabolic Research Laboratory (MRL) at the Biomedical Research Center (BRC) at
Qatar University (QU) is a critical component of the quality management ...
The development of novel composite materials of modified roasted date pits using ferrocyanides for the recovery of valuable metal ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
In this project, novel composite materials from modified roasted date pits using
ferrocyanides were developed and investigated for the recovery of valuable metal ions
(Li+ and Sr2+) from seawater reverse osmosis (RO) ...
Impact of Environmental and Anthropogenic Conditions on the Reproductive Cycle of the Pearl Oyster Pinctada Imbricata in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
To master the aquaculture of pearl oysters Pinctada imbricada, one must master its reproductive cycle. We investigated it through histology, analysis of water physico chemistry and behavior recording on wild oysters sampled ...
The Use of Novel Ionic Liquid and Cellulose Nanocrystals Modified Date Pits as Adsorbents for Groundwater Treatment
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
This study aims to investigate the remediation of Li1+, Mo6+, and B3+ from groundwater using an innovative low-cost adsorbent. Agriculturally abundant date pits were modified to be successfully used as an adsorbent. Chemical ...
Assessment of Temporal Variation of Fish Assemblages between Natural and Artificial Reefs
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Well-defined coral reefs and patches with high density of fishes were reported
in the Arabian Gulf. Due to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances, especially
due to coastal development, coral reef cover starts ...
Meiobenthic assemblages in some intertidal areas around Qatar, Arabian gulf
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Professional Masters Project)
Sediment core samples were collected in 10 locations around intertidal areas of
Qatar to acquire baseline information on meiobenthic density and composition.
Temperature, salinity, and pH of interstitial waters were ...
Development of Functionalized Date Pits Adsorbent for the Removal of Boron, Lithium, and Molybdenum from Groundwater in the State of Qatar
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Dissertation)
Groundwater (GW) quality deterioration is one of the main water security issues in
Qatar. Although the GW in the State of Qatar is not used as drinking water for the
public, it is widely used for agricultural, domestic, ...
