Enhancing human thermal comfort in hot arid cities: A systematic review of urban heat island observations and mitigation strategies by Omer Abedrabboh (17346847)

“…Key findings include: (1) majority of hot arid cities experience a daytime urban cool island effect, (2) urbanization (land use/land cover changes) led to lower daytime and higher nighttime temperatures, (3) during the day, bare sand and industrial zones (LCZs F, 8, 10) record the highest temperatures, while compact built areas (LCZs 1, 2, 3) are hottest at night, (4) green infrastructure (mostly modelled and simulated using ENVI-met (local/micro-scale) and Weather Research and Forecasting Tool (mesoscale)), particularly tree canopies, is the most implemented and effective heat mitigation strategy, followed by cool materials, and (5) coastal arid cities show moderated UHI intensity. …”

The Sustainability (Environmental and Economical) impact of upgrading Bahrain building regulations for affordable housing units: Case study in Bahrain by Al-Saffar, May

SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH FOR WHOLE LIFE CYCLE COST MODELLING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROJECTS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Sadek, Ahmed

“…This is achieved by applying adjusting risks on project's initial cost at the preconstruction stage with respect to cost and risk behaviours at each time step. Cost impact is following an increasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX time and risk impact is following a decreasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX lifetime. …”

Altered regulation of cell migration in IRF6-mutated orofacial cleft patients-derived primary cells reveals a novel role of RhoGTPases in cleft/lip palate development by Al Saneh, Mounir

“…Our results showed that there is no difference in viability of the VWS patient cells compared to healthy control cells. However, a significant decrease in the migratory and adhesion ability of the VWS patient cells was detected compared to the control, which could account for the phenotype. …”

Sustainable Detoxification of Methylene Blue in Wastewater via Tea Residue Adsorption: Optimization and Kinetics by Farah F. Salameh (21797300)

“…The Sips model confirms significant heterogeneity. The Temkin model, which assumes that the heat of adsorption decreases linearly with coverage due to adsorbent-adsorbate interactions, aligns strongly with the data. …”

Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Cells were co-transfected with a C-terminal modified α-synuclein (SynT) and synphilin-1, and then treated with DHM (10 μM) and Sal B (50 μM) 16 hours after transfection; levels of α-synuclein aggregation decreased significantly (68% for DHM and 75% for Sal B). …”

Wave-packet dynamics in monolayer graphene with periodic scattering potentials by M.M. Suleimanov (22921019)

“…<p dir="ltr">We use the Dirac <u>continuum model</u> to study the propagation of electronic wave packets in monolayer graphene in the presence of periodically arranged circular potential steps. The time propagation of the wave packets is calculated using the split-operator method for different sizes, heights, and separations of the barriers. …”

Healthcare Professionals' Attitudes Toward Patients With Mental Illness: A Cross-Sectional Study in Qatar by Suhaila Ghuloum (796180)

“…Stigmatizing attitudes by HCP can have adverse consequences on people with mental illness from delays in seeking help to decreased quality of care provided. Assessing such attitudes is an essential step in understanding such stigma and, if needed, developing and testing appropriate and culturally adapted interventions to reduce it.…”

Seroprevalence of camel brucellosis in Qatar by Hashim Alhussain (9167136)

“…Camels below breeding age (i.e., < 4 years old) showed decreased seropositivity (3.4%, 95% CI, 0.1–17.8), compared to (22.8%, 95% CI, 17.4–29.0) seropositivity in camels ≥ 4 years of age, with a significant association between age groups and seropositivity (<i>P</i> = 0.02). …”
