Bioremediation and nutrient removal from wastewater by Chlorella vulgaris by Znad H.

“…Over a 13-day period the highest biomass concentration Xmax of 1.6 g L−1 was attained for PWW with corresponding values of 1.2 d−1, 80% and 100% for μ, and TN and TP RE respectively. μ decreased to 0.75 d−1 for a 75%:25% blend of PWW with MLA and to 0.54 d−1 on further decreasing the blend ratio to 25:75 PWW: MLA, with corresponding TN removal efficiencies of 85% and 76% respectively; 100% removal of TP was obtained throughout. …”

Qatar Culture Collection of Microalgae: A Sustainable Source for Biodiesel Production and Omega Fatty Acid Compounds by Bounnit, Touria

“…The good growth rate of these strains along with their lipid content and profile make them competitive for a viable algal biofuel technology comparing to the terrestrial oil crops which need longer time to grow and present lower amount of lipids (Weyer et al., 2010). In addition, we observed the presence of the omega-3 and 9 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5 n-3), docosahexaenoic (DHA, 22:6 n-3) and Nervonic Acid (C24:1 n-9) acids, which have a high commercial value and are known for their beneficial effects on human health…”

Trends in prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms and effects of sociodemographic variables before and after the first wave of COVID-19 in Qatar by Khaled, Salma M.

“…The two-week prevalence of anxiety symptoms (≥10 on the GAD-7) was 3.6% in 2018 and 5.1% in 2020/2021 (p = 0.062). The data for 2020/21 showed a 35.1% and 29.2% decrease in depression and anxiety symptoms scores compared to pre-pandemic years (2017/2018) after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. …”

Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites by Al-Maadeed, M.A.

“…The mechanical properties included tensile modulus, tensile strength and hardness, whereas thermal properties included thermal stability, melting and crystallinity percentage content were studied. In addition we applied the functionally graded materials concept, the elastic finite element analysis of a layered functionally graded pressurized pipe, which is one of the practical industrial applications, was accomplished in order to have some insight on the performance of such RPMCs. …”
