Investigating algal CO2 capture through screening of Qatari desert microalgae & cyanobacteria strains by Al Muraikhi, Mariam

“…In order to overcome these hurdles, this research focused on selecting local desert microalgae strains with high tolerance to increased CO2 levels, and developing growth media in order to increase the solubility of CO2. Forty-five locally isolated marine microalgae strains were screened for growth under increased CO2 concentrations, ranging from 0.04% to 30% (v/v). …”

Montmorency tart cherry supplementation does not impact sleep, body composition, cellular health, or blood pressure in healthy adults by Hillman, Angela R.

“…Results: There were no significant differences in sleep time or quality between groups, though both increased over 30 days. The capsule groups had significantly lower body mass (BM) 14 days versus baseline for placebo group (p = 0.01, mean difference: 0.70 kg) and at 30 days versus 14 days in MTC group (p = 0.02, mean difference: 0.75 kg). …”

Re-emission of slow positrons from tungsten at elevated temperatures by Al-Qaradawi, I. Y.

“…Irrespective of target history, no sharpening of the energy spectrum of re-emitted positrons was observed as the remoderator temperature was increased. Further, a steady decrease in the apparent re-emitted positron intensity was observed, attributed primarily to the increase in positronium formation, as the temperature of the foil was increased from 20 to 500 °C. …”
