Anti-microbial Activity Of Graphene Oxide Against Bacteria And Fungi
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Graphene Oxide (GO) is a promising material for various applications. The team prepared GO from graphite and studied the interaction with different microorganisms. Anti-microbial properties were detected for the prepared ... -
Fouling assemblages on offshore oil platforms: diverse vertical reefs in the Arabian Gulf
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse and complex marine ecosystems that are being degraded at rapid rates. This consistent steadily trend is especially critical in coastal areas that have experienced an ... -
Ecogenotoxicological Impact of Marine Pollutants on Qatari Bivalves: An Experimental Approach
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)The geographical and hydrological characteristics and industrial activities of the Arabian/Persian Gulf contribute to its classification as a stressed marine environment. The persistency of some contaminants released by ... -
Extraction and Analysis of Carbamate and Pyrethroid Pesticides in Tomatoes and Rice by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)This work aimed to explore common methods for the extraction of pesticide and to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis by gas chromatography coupled with electron impact mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS). Extraction was ... -

( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Membrane Filtration technique is being accepted worldwide as an environment friendly and energy efficient technique in Desalination Industry as compared to Thermal Desalination techniques. However, the performance of ... -
Spatial Covariate Adjusted Survival Rates for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) Coronavirus in the Arabian Peninsula
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)The frequent outbreaks of novel or emerging infectious diseases are alarming. There is a need for urgent and appropriate intervention that can be adapted quickly for such diseases. Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus ... -
Chemical Characterization and Source Identification of Beached Oil from Two Areas Along the North-Western Coast of Qatar
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Over the years there have been several reports of oil spills affecting particularly the northern coast of Qatar. In most cases, the source of oil spills is not identified. The spilled oils are very resistant to degradation ... -
Arabian Dugongs of Qatar: Updates from a Renewed Research Initiative
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Dugongs ("bugarah al bahr" or "cow of the sea") in Qatar and the wider Arabian Gulf, are animals of both historic and cultural significance to the people in the region. Historically hunted in Qatar, today they are seen as ... -
The potential impact of climate change on linkages between above and below ground communities in low diversity ecosystems in extreme environments
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)There is growing evidence that ecosystem function depend on biodiversity. For example, experimental studies with different number of plant species show that microbial biomass, fungal abundance and N mineralisation rates ... -
Coral bleaching in extreme environments: speciesspecific thermal tolerance limits
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Increasing seawater temperatures are being measured worldwide, causing coral bleaching events during which the symbiosis between the coral host and its symbiotic zooxanthellae is disrupted, and a global decline in reef ... -
Preliminary results on carbon and nutrients fluxes at the sediment-water interface in natural and planted mangroves, central Arabian Gulf
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Despite the many ecological services and benefits provided by the mangrove ecosystem, deforestation of mangrove ecosystem for industrial and other development has caused irreversible damage in coastal regions throughout ... -
