Two-stage cultivation of a Nannochloropsis mutant for biodiesel feedstock
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Optimization of mass microalgae cultures is required for the efficient production of biodiesel feedstock in terms of total fatty acid (TFA) content and a conducive fatty acid profile. A mutant strain of Nannochloropsis sp. ...
Achieve high ductility and strength in an Al-Mg alloy by severe plastic deformation combined with inter-pass annealing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation generally possess very high strength but a rather low uniform elongation, usually <5%. In the present Al-7Mg alloy processed by room temperature equal channel ...
The Determinants of Youth Unemployment in Qatar
(
Middle East Economic Association and Loyola University Chicago
, 2015 , Article)
While Qatari unemployment is low compared to regional standards, unemployment is
even more concentrated among first time job-seeking youth than in other countries in the Arab
world. This paper examines the factors that ...
CloudFlow: A data-aware programming model for cloud workflow applications on modern HPC systems
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Traditional High-Performance Computing (HPC) based big-data applications are usually constrained by having to move large amount of data to compute facilities for real-time processing purpose. Modern HPC systems, represented ...
Optimization of nickel oxide nanoparticle synthesis through the sol-gel method using Box-Behnken design
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method. The process parameters were optimized to produce smaller size of nanoparticles such as molar ratio, solution pH and calcination temperatures. ...
Hydrogen bond coupling in sodium dihydrogen triacetate
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
The coupling of hydrogen bonds is central to structures and functions of biological systems. Hydrogen bond coupling in sodium dihydrogen triacetate (SDHTA) is investigated as a model for the hydrogen bonded systems of the ...
Photoconductive response of strained silicon nanowires: A Monte Carlo study
(
AIP Publishing LLC.
, 2014 , Article)
Using Ensemble Monte Carlo simulations, the photocurrent in a 500 nm long strained [110] silicon nanowire with diameter of 3.1 nm is investigated. It was observed that a phototransistor based on this nanowire can have ...
Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
Two-stage cultivation of N-rich and N-deprived Acutodesmus obliquus biomass: Influence of cultivation and dewatering methods on microalgal biomass used in anaerobic digestion
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Microalgae can be manipulated to accumulate certain cellular compounds of interest without the need for genetic modification - simply by controlling growth parameters such as nitrogen (N). Therefore, A. obliquus was ...
