Application of eggshell wastes for boron remediation from water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Boron in high concentration levels leads to harmful effects on the environment and human health. Hence, it needs to be eliminated from desalinated water in order to improve water quality. As a result, the removal of boron ...
Use of β-cyclodextrin as enhancer of ascorbic acid rejection in permselective films for amperometric biosensor applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Interference rejection in amperometric biosensors can be more effective introducing some modifiers during electro-deposition of permselective film. Addition of β-cyclodextrin (βCD), a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of ...
A MALDI-TOF study of bio-remediation in highly weathered oil contaminated soils
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
We have shown that Bacillus cereus is dominating the bacterial population at three polluted oil-industry sites
where weather and soil conditions are extreme in terms of temperature, UV-radiation and salinity. A minor ...
Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Potential application of microalgae in produced water treatment
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
The current study examines pollutant removal efficiency from the produced water of a local petroleum industry by five different local microalgae species. The five microalgae strains Monoraphidium, Chlorella, Neochloris, ...
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
Nox2 activity is required in obesity-mediated alteration of bone remodeling
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for NADPH oxidases (Nox) in bone pathophysiology, whether Nox enzymes contribute to obesity-mediated bone remodeling remains to be clearly elucidated. Nox2 is one of the ...
Early stage litter decomposition across biomes
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ...
Diversity of Bacillus thuringiensis Strains From Qatar as Shown by Crystal Morphology, d-Endotoxins and Cry Gene Content
(
Frontiers Media
, 2018 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) based insecticidal formulations have been recognized as one of
the most successful, environmentally safe and sustainable method of controlling insect
pests. Research teams worldwide are in ...
Co-occurrence of mycotoxins in commercial formula milk and cereal-based baby food on the Qatar market
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
The present study was conducted to explore the occurrence of mycotoxins in commercial baby foods in Doha-Qatar. LCMS/MS- and HPLC-based analysis of baby food (n?=?67) for 12 mycotoxins confirmed the presence of aflatoxin ...
