INVESTIGATION OF BACTERIAL DIVERSITY AND CHEMOMETRIC ASSESSMENT FOR ENHANCING BIOREMEDIATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN QATARI SOILS
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2018 , Dissertation)
Qatar is one of the leading countries in oil and gas industry worldwide. Qatar is located in the middle of the Arabian Gulf sea, a semi-closed sea surrounded by many petrochemical sites, besides the active offshore traffic ...
ANTIMICROBIAL AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF SELECTED QATARI FLORA
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Conventional medicine has been challenged by various issues, including drug resistance and safety. On the other hand, Complementary Alternative Medicine has been increasingly gaining the interest of the scientific community ...
Heavy Metals Hyperaccumulation and the Role of Stress-Induced Proteins in Phytoremediation Mechanism in Selected Qatari Plants
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Progressive pollution of the environment by trace and heavy metals pose a significant risk and causes diverse human diseases. Current world initiatives to remove these toxic substances from the environment are costly and ...
The Novel Role of BRIP1 in Breast Tumor Development and Progression
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Only 5-10% of mutations in the BRCA genes are attributed to familial breast tumors in Eastern countries, suggesting the ...
Uncovering the Epigenetic Contribution of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) during Zebrafish Cardiomyogenesis
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
The heart develops through an extremely intricate process mediated by a network
of transcription factors initiated by key chromatin modification events. Scientist have
implicated the protein arginine methyltransferase ...
Development of a Novel Polymer-Modified Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites for Controlling Calcium Sulfate Scaling and Biofouling on Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Mechanistic Study
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Dissertation)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a promising environment friendly desalination
technology for clean water production. However, the performance of RO is getting
affected by the mineral scaling and biofouling. During this research, ...
Seasonal Variations Of Dinophysis Species And Their Toxins In Qatari Waters, Arabian Gulf
(Environmental science, 2019 , Master Thesis)
The results of investigations from several cruises carried out in Qatari waters between 2017 and 2018 were reported. The species composition, distribution and toxicity of Dinophysis community were examined. A total number ...
Role of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in WNT/β--CATENIN proliferative signaling in breast cancer
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Dissertation)
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) activity is dysregulated in many aggressive
cancers and its enhanced levels are associated with increased tumor growth and survival.
In this study, we show that PRMT5 is ...
Variability in Genomic Patterns of Bacterial Communities Related to Tarmats and Quantification of Hydrocarbon Present in the Tarmats Deposited along the Qatar Coast
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Qatar has undergone a rapid transition from a fishing and small agriculture to an economy focused on oil and gas since 1960. Owing to the comparatively large level of oil and gas production, the region has become severely ...
Date Pits Based Nanomaterials For Thermal Insulation Applications - Towards Energy Efficient Buildings In Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2019 , Professional Masters Project)
Air-conditioning systems make the most significant part of energy consumption in the residential sector. There is no denying that it is essential to produce a comfortable indoor thermal environment for residents in a ...
