Construction planning and scheduling of a precast house extension using a multi-objective genetic algorithm and 4D building information modelling
More LessAuthors: Sarah Alyatama and Ruqaya Al-SabahBackground: As a result of the rising costs of housing in Kuwait, several families find it increasingly challenging to purchase new homes. Typically, Kuwaitis carry out extensions of the existing housing spaces they possess, to accommodate their growing families. In the management and execution of house extension projects, construction planning and scheduling are complex albeit critical tasks. Building information modeling (BIM) and opti Read More

Artificial intelligence dissociative identity disorder (AIDIS): the dark side of ChatGPT
More LessBy Chokri KooliAs exploratory research, the actual paper makes an interview with ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model designed to understand and generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions and topics. This paper aims to understand the functionality and user engagement of ChatGPT. It concludes that ChatGPT is designed on a transformer-based language model based on deep learning ar Read More -
Microsatellites confirm the distinctness of Bedouins among ethnic Qatari subpopulations
More LessBackground: Microsatellite markers are highly versatile tools used in a wide array of applications including paternity testing, forensic analysis, and disease markers. However, the allele frequencies of these markers can vary greatly depending on ethnic subpopulations. Thus, the discovery of three distinct Qatari ethnic subpopulations (Bedouin, Persian, and African) has prompted the need to determine the all Read More -
DNA barcoding of Squamata fauna in Qatar
More LessAuthors: Yousef Al-Najjar, Dan Cogălniceanu, Aitor Valdeó and Kuei-Chiu ChenBackground: DNA barcoding allows for species identification and description of genetic diversity. However, in the Middle East, information on genetic diversity is accumulating at a slower pace compared to that of other regions. Methods: The COI sequence of 24 lizard and snake species in Qatar that represent major families within the order Squamata were sampled and amplified via PCR using RepCOI prime Read More -
Morphological abnormalities in tissue culture-derived date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in Qatar
More LessAuthors: Imene Mattat, Ameur Khiss and Walid HamadaRecently, the tissue culture (T.C.) propagation has played a major role in the massive expansion of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) plantations by making available a large number of cloned plants. Nevertheless, even if the in vitro propagation is an effective and a rapid way of date palm production, it has been associated with the emergence of some growth problems. Morphological abnormalities have b Read More
