Development and control of homogenous charge compression ignition engines: a preliminary study
More LessAuthors: Marwa Walid Fathy Abdelgawad, Reza Tafreshi, Jiafeng Sun, Reza Langari and Timothy JacobsAbstract For many years, researchers have been trying to develop internal combustion engines with increased efficiency, while striving to satisfy stricter environmental regulations that limit the constituents of harmful emissions being produced. Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines have provided a window of opportunity to make this happen since they incorporate the most ‘attractive’ features from b Read More

Paper recycling at Qatar University
More LessAbstract In 2007, 2,500,000 tons of waste in Qatar was disposed of on the Umalafai landfill, of which 700,000 tons constituted domestic waste, However, only 4600 tons of this waste was discharged to be recycled, and of this 149 tons was paper waste. This high amount of waste paper in 2007, when the population of Qatar was 907,229 means that there should be even more waste as the population reached 1,900,000 in Read More

Numerical methods in modeling and simulating fluid flow in heterogeneous and naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs
More LessAbstract More than 50% of proven hydrocarbon reserves are in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) and fractures are present in most carbonate reservoirs. The heterogeneity of NFR material properties; permeability and porosity, is of large scale thus presenting a challenge in modeling fluid flow and recovery mechanisms numerically. For a large class of fractured reservoirs, especially for multiphase production mechanisms, Read More

Genetic diversity of date palm in Qatar
More LessAuthors: Sara Hani Al Hadidi, Hala Nazeh Al Agha and Ahmed TalaatAbstract Date palm is the most important fruit tree in Qatar. Recently developed techniques, based on DNA markers, offer new tools for genetic analysis. The objectives of the present study are to analyze the genetic diversity among 15 different cultivars of date palm at the experimental farm of Qatar University using ISSR and SSR markers, and find out the genetic similarity and/or diversity among the well known date pal Read More

The Qatar Unified Imaging Project (QUIP)
More LessBy Moe TammiAbstract VCUQatar was recently granted QNRF funding to spearhead a highly collaborative and distributed project to advance knowledge of Qatar's history, traditions and culture. The Qatar Unified Imaging Project (QUIP) will identify and map the dispersed collections of Qatar's primary source materials in Qatar, India, Britain, and Denmark, then distribute selected results of that research from an open-access digital repository.

Fracture-related diagenesis in the carbonate carapace of a salt dome, Jebel Madar, Oman
More LessAbstract This study, carried out in the Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC) at Imperial College focuses on the interplay between fractures, diagenetic fluid flow and precipitation of diagenetic minerals in an exposed carbonate carapace of a salt dome in Oman. Understanding fault-related mineralization and the differences between diagenesis in the fractures and fracture walls compared Read More
