The Affordances of Strategy Mapping
( Academy of Management , 2023 , Article)Little research has focused on the role of strategy map and its affordances when developing a joint account of strategy in the context of a multidivisional organization. Building on the Strategy-As-Practice (SAP) research ... -
Recovering the divide: A review of the big data analytics—strategy relationship
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Research on big data analytics has been burgeoning in recent decades, yet its relationship with strategy continues to be overlooked. This paper reviews how big data analytics and strategy are portrayed across 228 articles, ... -
Ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnosis: electrochemical sensors for rapid and sensitive detection of pyocyanin
( Springer Nature , 2024 , Article)Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a severe condition in critically ill patients that requires timely diagnosis to improve patient outcomes. In this study, we developed an electrochemical sensor for pyocyanin detection ... -
Toxicity assessment of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate using zebrafish embryos: Cardiotoxic potential
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Plasticizers are considered as newly emerged contaminants. They are added to plastics to increase their flexibility and softness. Phthalate plasticizers including the Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalates (DEHP) are toxic and induce ... -
What are artificial intelligence literacy and competency? A comprehensive framework to support them
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Artificial intelligence (AI) education in K–12 schools is a global initiative, yet planning and executing AI education is challenging. The major frameworks are focused on identifying content and technical knowledge (AI ... -
Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Semiarid regions have particularly been confronted with climate change effects reflected by the consistent decrease of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration. This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for ... -
Use of waste marble powder for the synthesis of novel calcium-rich biochar: Characterization and application for phosphorus recovery in continuous stirring tank reactors
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study investigates—for the first time—the synthesis of a novel Ca-rich biochar (N–Ca–B) and its potential use for phosphorus (P) recovery from both synthetic solutions (SS) and treated urban wastewater (TUW) in a ... -
Degraded Arid Soil Reclamation for Cotton Cultivation Using Organic Waste Amendments
(2024 , Conference)Qatar is one of the most fertilizer-dependent countries due to challenging soil and climatic conditions. The country strives toward self-sufficiency in agricultural production in alignment with the Qatar National Vision ... -
Development of highly active and coke-resilient Ni-based catalysts for low-temperature steam reformation of methane
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In this work, we report on the development of highly active and stable catalysts for low temperature steam reformation of methane. The Ni-based catalysts supported on alumina were synthesized by the single step solution ... -
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2016 , Article)We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ... -
Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2014 , Conference)We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ... -
