Energy Demand Estimation and Forecasting in Qatar by Khalifa, Ahmed Ali

“…This approach focuses on the estimation of the share cost of various inputs with respect to the total cost of production for a specific good. We express energy demand as a function of energy prices, the appropriate price should be a weighted average of the prices of the underlying energy sources (electricity, gas, oil…etc.). …”

Prevention of oral cancer by Malki, Ahmed Mohamed

“…Oral cancer is typically discovered late in its development, most often when it has already metastasized to the lymph nodes, at which point prognosis becomes very poor. Therefore, we firmly believe that it is no longer viable that prevention be considered a person’s own responsibility but rather a matter of a group of health professionals. …”

Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, phys... by Nasrallah, Gheyath

“…Although its efficacy was established in one small cohort clinical trial, its potential adverse effect was not adequately addressed. We utilized zebrafish model to assess S-DFO toxicity using following assays: mortality, teratogenicity, hatching rate, tail flicking, Acridine Orange staining for apoptosis detection, o-dianisidine staining for hemoglobin synthesis, and the level of Hsp70 as a general stress indicator. …”

Micromodel Study on Colloid Retention and Mobilization under different Geo-Chemical Conditions during Single and Two-Phase Flow by Nishad, Safna

“…Micromodels are analogs to porous media that allow the real-time visualization of pore-scale processes that occur at highly controllable physio-chemical conditions in the laboratory scale. In this thesis, we used a glass micromodel with representative geometry to observe the pore-scale mechanisms during colloid retention and mobilization experiments in a saturated and unsaturated porous media. …”

Dispatchable capacity optimization strategy for battery swapping and charging station aggregators to participate in grid operations by Mingze, Zhang

“…Considering the characteristics of an aggregator’s multilateral services, in this study, BSCSs need to ensure the quality of swapping service for EV users and participate in the demand-side regulation response. Firstly, we analyze the operation mechanism of a BSCS in the aggregation mode and propose a state transition model for EV batteries. …”

Hydrogen Production via Ethanol Decomposition over Bimetallic Catalyst by Ashok, Anchu

“…Ethanol decomposition over bimetallic CuCo were conducted using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) study under N2 flow at different temperatures (50, 100, 200, 300, 400°C). Temperature-time profile of CuCo shows an increase in combustion temperature with increase in fuel ratio with maximum temperature at φ = 1 (stoichiometric ratio) and after that it decreases. …”
