Waste audit: Pathway to attain sustainability at Qatar University
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Waste audit has proved to be a valuable first step in development of a viable waste minimization and recycling program. Waste characterization has been successfully used at many educational institutions in the United States ... -
Water resources assessment at El-Arish area, using remote sensing and GIS, North Sinai, Egypt
( IEEE , 2008 , Conference Paper)This research aims at to analyse the pattern and rate of shoreline changes at the El-Arish area during the period 1984-2006, which represents the time at which the El-Arish harbour has affected along the coastline. Detecting ... -
Water reuse: Brackish water desalination using Prosopis juliflora
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)Prosopis juliflora is a plant species that have the potential to yield significant environmental and economic benefits. It is used widely as a source of biofuel, food, feed and as an adsorbent in water treatment. In this ... -
Water stress and gibberellic acid effects on growth of fenugreek plants
( Springer Berlin / Heidelberg , 1998 , Article)Fenugreek plant is susceptible to water stress during the vegetative growth stages, since a soil matric potential lower than -0.3 MPa causes substantial reduction in growth parameters such as height, weight and total leaf ... -
Water treatment technologies in removing heavy metal ions from wastewater: A review
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The scarcity of clean water resources leads to many scientific and technological advancements in wastewater treatment processes. The recalcitrance of heavy metals in wastewater has been proven to be a challenging concern. ... -
Watermelon rinds as cost-efficient adsorbent for acridine orange: a response surface methodological approach
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)In the current investigation, watermelon rinds (WMR) have been utilized as an eco-friendly and cost-efficient adsorbent for acridine orange (AO) from contaminated water samples. Adsorption of AO onto raw (RWM) and thermally ... -

( Brill , 2022 , Article)This article traces the manifestations of the newly adapted artistic form of “calligraffiti,” or the synthetic braiding of poetry and graffiti on what became known as the “walls of protest” in post-2011 Egypt. This new ... -
Weak and strong convergence theorems for generalized nonexpansive mappings
( Universitatii Al.I.Cuza din Iasi , 2016 , Article)We consider a class of generalized nonexpansive mappings introduced by Karapinar and seen as a generalization of Suzuki (C)-condition. We prove some weak and strong convergence theorems for approximating fixed points of ... -
Weak and strong convergence theorems without some widely used conditions
( Academic Publications, Ltd. , 2010 , Article)We establish weak (strong) convergence of Ishikawa iterates of two asymptotically (quasi-)nonexpansive maps without any condition on the rate of convergence associated with the two maps. Moreover, our weak convergence ... -
Weighted estimates for oscillatory singular integrals
(2013 , Article)We establish uniform bounds for oscillatory singular integrals as well as oscillatory singular integral operators. We allow the singular kernel to be given by a function in the Hardy space H1(Sn-1), while such results were ... -
Weighted estimates for rough parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals
( Korean Mathematical Society , 2007 , Article)We establish a weighted norm inequality for a class of rough parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators . As an application of this inequality, we obtain weighted inequalities for a class of parametric Marcinkiewicz ... -

West Bay Business District in Doha, State of Qatar: Envisioning a Vibrant Transit-Oriented Development
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)In recent decades, Doha, the capital of Qatar, has experienced a large-scale transformation due to globalization and rapid economic growth. Recently, these changes have led to a focus on infrastructural development and ... -
What is a Snow Leopard? Taxonomy, Morphology, and Phylogeny
( Elsevier Inc. , 2016 , Book chapter)The snow leopard is the smallest member of the genus Panthera and is the sister species to the tiger (Panthera tigris). It has a poor fossil record, although a recent discovery in Tibet suggests this lineage could be at ... -
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ... -
Whole-Exome Sequencing in 10 Unrelated Patients with Syndromic Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Preliminary Step for a Genotype-Phenotype Correlation.
( Karger Publishers , 2022 , Article)The genetics of syndromic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), an immune-mediated condition associated with systemic comorbidities such as inflammatory bowel diseases and arthritis, has not been completely elucidated. To describe ... -
Why do exercisers with a higher trait self-control experience higher subjective well-being? The mediating effects of amount of leisure-time physical activity, perceived goal progress, and self-efficacy
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)A first goal of the present study consisted in examining the interrelationships between trait self-control, amount of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), goal progress, self-efficacy and subjective well-being. A second ... -
Why is it so difficult to attract FDI to the MENA countries ?
( Science Publications , 2016 , Article)In this study we constructively argue that the relationship between FDI flows and the per capita GDP for the MENA countries has a novel feature-hitherto unrecognised-which can partially explain the great difficulty of the ... -
Winter thermoregulation of free-ranging Ethiopian hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimise heat gain during hotter months, and put less effort on how they maximise heat gain during cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to ... -
