INSIGHTS INTO THE NATURAL DEGRADATION RATE OF PLASTICS IN THE SEAWATER ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR DEGRADATION BY-PRODUCTS (PHTHALATES AND BISPHENOL A)
(Environmental Sciences, 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 ...
INVESTIGATION OF TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF CORALS REVEALED BY ROV VIDEOS AT OIL PLATFORMS IN THE ARABIAN GULF
(Environmental Sciences, 2023 , Master Thesis)
The study was conducted at AL-Shaheen oil field within the Arabian Gulf using remotely operated vehicle (ROV) footages in different oil platforms to investigate the impact of platform depth, age, and weight on coral relative ...
TREATMENT OF RAW SEWAGE WASTEWATER IN A PILOT SCALE PLANT THROUGH A NOVEL METHOD USING MICROALGAE, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRODUCED BIOMASS FOR FERTI-IRRIGATION: A QATARI CASESTUDY
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Master Thesis)
Global population is on the rise. Water scarcity and demand is at an all-time high. Yet anthropogenic activities keep increasing the amount of wastewater in the environment. While humans have developed wastewater treatment ...
ANALYSIS OF HYDROLOGICAL AND CLIMATIC FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ALGAL BLOOMS BASED ON REMOTE SENSING PRODUCTS AROUND THE COASTAL REGION IN THE ARABIAN GULF
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Master Thesis)
Algal Blooms (ABs) are a global ecological disaster threatening aquatic ecosystems, human health, and economics. In the Arabian Gulf, monitoring and early warning systems are needed due to a lack of in-situ data. This study ...
MONITORING AND BIOCONTROL APPROACHES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF MYCOTOXINS IN CAMEL AND CATTLE FEED AND RELATED FOOD CHAIN
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Dissertation)
The presence of fungi and their associated mycotoxins in agricultural commodities is a worldwide problem leading to mycotoxins contamination in feed and animal products. This results in mycotoxins' carry-over to human ...
INVESTIGATION AND PRODUCTION OF BIOINSECTICIDES BASED ON NEWLY BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS STRAINS ISOLATED FROM QATAR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE AND SAFE FOOD PRODUCTION IN QATAR
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Master Thesis)
Bacillus thuringiensis produces parasporal crystals responsible of their insecticidal activity against specific insect orders. Eight newly isolated Bt strains produce different parasporal crystal and have several genetic ...
CONTAMINATION OF ARSENIC IN RICE-BASED BABY FOOD PRODUCTS AND THEIR HEALTH RISKS
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Master Thesis)
This study aims to assess the health risks associated with arsenic exposure in consumers of rice-based infant food products. The consumption patterns of rice-based baby food products among individuals aged 4-12 months in ...
Novel approach in treating industrial wastewater using metal-organic framework nanoparticles impregnated with biosurfactants.
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2024 , Dissertation)
Arabian Gulf countries including Qatar are amongst the main oil and gas (O&G) producers globally. A huge amount of water is used during the upstream and downstream processes of oil and gas refiners. As a result, a large ...
Application of Non-Noble Metal and Cellulose Nanocrystals Modified Date Pits as Novel Adsorbents for Groundwater Treatment
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2023 , Master Thesis)
This work was designed to investigate the potential of eliminating lithium (Li) and molybdenum (Mo) ions from groundwater through adsorption. A novel adsorbent was prepared by using agricultural waste, namely date pits. ...
