A robust fuzzy logic-based model for predicting the critical total drawdown in sand production in oil and gas wells
( Public Library of Science , 2021 , Article)Sand management is essential for enhancing the production in oil and gas reservoirs. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is used as a reliable indicator of the onset of sand production; hence, its accurate prediction is very ... -
Current advances in bio-fabricated quantum dots emphasising the study of mechanisms to diversify their catalytic and biomedical applications
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Article Review)Quantum dots (QDs), owing to their single atom-like electronic structure due to quantum confinement, are often referred to as artificial atoms. This unique physical property results in the diverse functions exhibited by ... -
Electroactive and Optically Adaptive Bionanocomposite for Reconfigurable Microlens
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)This paper introduces an electroactive bionanocomposite based on poly(diethylene glycol adipate) (PDEGA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The bionanocomposites were made using CNCs extracted from cotton and by optimizing ... -
Graphene oxide-based electrochemical label-free detection of glycoproteins down to aM level using a lectin biosensor
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)A label-free ultrasensitive impedimetric biosensor with lectin immobilised on graphene oxide (GO) for the detection of glycoproteins from 1 aM is shown here. This is the first time a functional lectin biosensor with lectin ... -
Highly ordered nanoporous carbon films with tunable pore diameters and their excellent sensing properties
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2015 , Article)Ordered porous carbon films with tunable pore diameters, immobilized with glucose oxidase (GOD) have been fabricated and employed for the construction of a biosensor for glucose molecules. The as-prepared porous films have ... -
Mixed Zwitterion-Based Self-Assembled Monolayer Interface for Impedimetric Glycomic Analyses of Human IgG Samples in an Array Format
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)An impedimetric lectin biosensor for the detection of changes in the glycan structure of antibodies isolated from human serum is here correlated with the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The biosensor was built ... -
Preparation and characterization of green graphene using grape seed extract for bioapplications
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)The development of functionalized graphene materials concerning health and environmental aspects via green approaches is currently the most recent topic in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Herein, we report the ... -
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters of Qatar
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Microplastics are firmly recognized as a ubiquitous and growing threat to marine biota and their associated marine habitats worldwide. The evidence of the prevalence of microplastics was documented for the first time in ... -
Sensitive detection and glycoprofiling of a prostate specific antigen using impedimetric assays
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)This study presents a proof-of-concept for the development of an impedimetric biosensor for ultra-sensitive glycoprofiling of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The biosensor exhibits three unique characteristics: (1) analysis ...
