Experimental Verification of Low-Pressure Kinetics Model for Direct Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate Over CeO₂ Catalyst by G. Ibrahim (7601063)

“…The CO₂Fix analysis revealed that, at a conversion rate of 27%, the process can achieve a "net zero" state when operated at an approximate pressure of 30 bar, thereby supporting the viability of low-pressure synthesis. Increasing the conversion rate to levels exceeding 95% significantly enhances the CO₂Fix metric, potentially surpassing 3.5 or higher.…”

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. …”

Innovative and Sustainable Management Practices Using Qatari Mycorrhizae Fertilizers for Enhanced Production of Green beans by Naema A. Yahya (23752905)

“…Under water-deficit conditions, mycorrhizal-treated plants exhibited remarkable resilience, demonstrating the effectiveness of these native biofertilizers in mitigating abiotic stress. …”

Structural interactions of complex proteins with trehalose: mechanisms for improving the multilevel structure and functional properties of lentil-quinoa protein complexes by Mohammad Alrosan (20089263)

“…The water solubility and digestibility of the latter conjugate-derived lentil and quinoa complex increased from 75.1 to 80% and 75 to 80.3%, respectively. …”

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. …”

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