Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Such flood-tide dominance of the thalweg is unusual and likely reflects the absence of river discharge. Evidence of significant inverse estuarine circulation (seaward flow of a brine along the embayment floor) is mostly absent in spite of the landward increase of salinity, where concentrations reach more than double normal seawater salinity in the Inner Lagoon. …”

Arsenic contamination in rice: a DPSIR analysis with a focus on top rice producers by Hasa Ali Abdulla (21437420)

“…The DPSIR analysis revealed that socioeconomic factors, including population growth and industrialization, were the primary driving forces behind arsenic contamination in rice. These factors increased pressures such as reliance on arsenic-contaminated irrigation water, historical pesticide use, and industrial pollution, which contributed to arsenic accumulation in rice-growing environments. …”

The synergistic effects of cationic surfactant and smart seawater on the recovery of medium-viscosity crude oil from low-permeability carbonates by Osama Massarweh (17012217)

“…The use of smart SW and CTAB significantly altered the wettability of carbonate rock towards water-wet and reduced the interfacial tension (IFT) between crude oil and water, reaching levels below 0.087 mN/m. …”

The Use of Cutting-Stone-Slurry-Waste in Engineering Practice by Attom, Mousa

“…Additionally, the effect of mixing the soils with cutting stone slurry waste on the plastic index, dry densities and optimum water contents were studied. Results indicated that mixing the clay soil with cutting stone slurry waste increased the max dry density, and decreased the optimum water content percent and the plasticity index. …”

Unveiling the Nexus Between Land Use, Land Surface Temperature, and Carbon Footprint: A Multi-Scale Analysis of Building Energy Consumption in Arid Urban Areas by Ammar Abulibdeh (15785928)

“…The findings reveal significant correlations between higher LST, reduced green spaces, and increased CF in residential and commercial sectors. …”

Improved properties and salt rejection of polysulfone membrane by incorporation of hydrophilic cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles by Muneer M. Ba-Abbad (14151660)

“…The hydrophilicity of PSf membranes was improved by adding of ZnO and doped ZnO NPs which showed a decrease in contact angle values from 82° to 62° with an increased flux with water. Among the prepared membranes, doped ZnO NPs showed the highest salt rejection for both sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) compared to pure PSf and PSf with ZnO NPs which confirm the improvement contact angle and water permeability. …”

Fermentation-induced modifications to the structural, surface, and functional properties of quinoa proteins by Mohammad Alrosan (20089263)

“…Notably, fermentation significantly increases the digestibility of QPs from 78.13 to 85.24%, thereby enhancing their nutritional value. …”

Khalasa date palm leaf fiber as a potential reinforcement for polymeric composite materials by Elsadig Mahdi (9967349)
