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. …”

Regeneration from different levels along the tail of the geckonid lizard, Bunopus tuberculatus by Abdel Karim, Ahmed E.

“…Study of the influence or amputation level on regenerate length, elongation rate and mitotic index of the tail of the geckonid lizard, Bunopus tuberculatus revealed that the tails amputated such that three-fourth, or one-half or one-fourth of the tail was removed, passed through the same morphological and histological stages of regeneration at the same times after amputation, and the regenerated structures were also the same. …”

Pd nanocrystals encapsulated in MOF-derived Ni/N-doped hollow carbon nanosheets for efficient thermal CO oxidation: unveiling the effect of porosity by Ipadeola, Adewale K.

“…Conspicuously, the T100 of Pd/Ni-MOF-HNC was lower than those of most previously reported Pd-based catalysts due to the high porosity, surface area, and electronic interaction of Pd/Ni-Nx, and Ni-metal defects, which promote the adsorption/activation of reactants (CO + O2), decrease the activation energy to 73.1 kJ mol−1 and enhance the reaction rate at the same CO conversion percentage. …”
