A comparison of the macrofauna of natural and replanted mangroves in Qatar
( Academic Press , 1999 , Article)The present investigation quantifies the biodiversity of the Brachyura and fish living within the natural mangrove Avicennia marina, salt marsh find replanted mangal, and compares relevant features of the abiotic and biotic ... -
Distributed in-network processing and resource optimization over mobile-health systems
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies has promoted the development of Mobile-health (m-health) systems to find new ways to acquire, process, transport, and secure the medical data. M-health systems ... -
Dynamic workload patterns prediction for proactive auto-scaling of web applications
( Academic Press , 2018 , Article)Proactive auto-scaling methods dynamically manage the resources for an application according to the current and future load predictions to preserve the desired performance at a reduced cost. However, auto-scaling web ... -
Effective and sustainable adsorbent materials for oil spill cleanup based on a multistage desalination process
( Academic Press , 2021 , Article)Oil spills, which are often caused by crude oil transportation accidents, contaminate coastal waters and land and can harm aquatic life, seabirds, humans, and the entire ecosystem. Ocean currents and wind complicate oil ... -
Eggshell membrane as a novel bio sorbent for remediation of boron from desalinated water
( Academic Press , 2018 , Article)This study investigated the use of eggshell membrane (ESM) as a bio-sorbent and the effect of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on its efficiency. Furthermore, by altering the chemical composition, modified eggshell ... -
Embedding algorithms and applications to differential equations
( Academic Press , 2018 , Article)Algorithms for embedding certain types of nilpotent subalgebras in maximal subalgebras of the same type are developed, using methods of real algebraic groups. These algorithms are applied to determine non-conjugate subalgebras ... -
Higher order statistical frequency domain decomposition for operational modal analysis
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Experimental methods based on modal analysis under ambient vibrational excitation are often employed to detect structural damages of mechanical systems. Many of such frequency domain methods, such as Basic Frequency Domain ... -
Identification and overcome of limitations of weathered oil hydrocarbons bioremediation by an adapted Bacillus sorensis strain
( Academic Press , 2019 , Article)Because of the high production of oil and gas in Qatar, the likelihood of oil spill occurrence is most probably susceptible to happen. Contaminated soil treatment is very expensive. Cost effective mechanisms are investigated ... -
Image-based body mass prediction of heifers using deep neural networks
( Academic Press , 2021 , Article)Manual weighing of heifers is time-consuming, labour-intensive, expensive, and can be dangerous and risky for both humans and animals because it requires the animal to be stationary. To overcome this problem, automated ... -
Impact assessment of non-indigenous jellyfish species on the estuarine community dynamic: A model of medusa phase
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Non-indigenous jellyfish species (NIJS) Blackforida virginica have recently been introduced to the Guadiana Estuary. A modelling approach was used for the assessment of the species-specific impact on the native community, ... -
Impact of alternate Mn doping in ternary nanocomposites on their structural, optical and antimicrobial properties: Comparative analysis of photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity
