Shear Behavior of Green Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt FRP Bars and Stirrups. by Elahtem, Ayman Ahmed

“…It has been found that the green concrete provides high compressive strength compared to the normal concrete with the same workability properties, which increases the shear resistance by the concrete. Finally, minimizing spacing of the stirrups is not preventing occurrence of the crack, however using minimum spacing helps in decreasing the crack width.…”

Undrained interface shear strength of fine-grained soils for near-shore marine pipelines by Eid, Hisham T.

“…The peak and residual interface shear strengths for a variety of normally consolidated soils were measured using a torsional ring shear apparatus modified to suit soil and interface testing under the undrained condition, which is usually prevalent at soil-marine pipeline interfaces. …”

Vegetation Changes in the Long Abandoned Farms in Qatar by Ahmed, Abdulla Ahmed

“…It was found out that following total farm abandonment, the vegetation communities start to recover in a rather slow process. This recovery process is caused and at the same time paralleled by a steady decrease in soil salinity, as salts are washed away by rain water. …”

Development and in Vitro Testing of a Nitric Oxide Nanoparticle Carrier for Acute Lung Injury by Kordi, Haya

“…Fluid filled lungs need to be mechanically ventilated for airway reopening.Ventilation might further damage delicate lung tissue and lead to edema,a phenomenon known as ventilator-induced lung injury VILI is a result of propagation of small air bubbles in gas exchange sites, injuring epithelial cells due to shear stress. Potential rescue of epithelial cells (EPCs) under injurious stresses is possible by altering their mechanical properties and hence deformation amount under stress (decreased stiffness, decreased deformation). …”
