GOLD NANOPARTICLES-BASED ASSAYS FOR DIRECT AND COST EFFECTIVE DETECTION OF CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE IN QATAR
(2015 , Master Thesis)
Background
Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) is one of the common health problems worldwide. Prevention techniques require fast and precise detection with high sensitivity. Conventional diagnostic methods are ...
Prevalence of Virulence/Stress Genes in Campylobacter jejuni from Chicken Meat Sold in Qatari Retail Outlets
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Chicken meat from the shelves of supermarkets in Qatar was tested for the presence of
Campylobacter spp. and the presence of five virulence genes (htrB, cdtB, clpP, cadF and
ciaB) was assessed in isolates. Forty eight ...
FastRNABindR: Fast and Accurate Prediction of Protein-RNA Interface Residues
(
Public Library of Science (PLoS)
, 2016 , Article)
A wide range of biological processes, including regulation of gene expression, protein synthesis, and replication and assembly of many viruses are mediated by RNA-protein interactions. However, experimental determination ...
Photostability of the Oleic Acid-Encapsulated Water-Soluble CdxSeyZn1-xS1-y Gradient Core-Shell Quantum Dots
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Composite systems where quantum dots (QDs) are combined with other nanomaterials (e.g., gold nanorods) in aqueous solutions have attracted broad attention - both for their potential in applications and for studies of ...
Curing enhancement and network effects in multi-walled carbon nanotube-filled vulcanized natural rubber: evidence for solvent sensing
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive polymer composites offer great possibilities in various electronic fields because of their low weight and ease of processing. This paper addresses the curing behaviour and network ...
Controlled growth of Cu2O thin films by electrodeposition approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Thin films of Cu2O comprised of wavelike surface characteristic of compact nanoparticles were synthesized using a facile and cost-effective electrodeposition approach. The distinct surface morphologies with well-aligned ...
The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Many microbial and plant-derived metabolites contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators and the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. Ophiobolin A (OPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by Bipolaris ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
Enhanced Size Selection in Two-Photon Excitation for CsPbBr3 Perovskite Nanocrystals
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), with large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section and bright photoluminescence (PL), have been demonstrated as stable two-photon-pumped lasing medium. With ...
Corrosion behavior of API X100 steel material in a hydrogen sulfide environment
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Recently, the API X100 steel has emerged as an important pipeline material for transportation of crude oil and natural gas. At the same time, the presence of significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in natural gas and ...
