Effect of palm-Sesame Biodiesel Fuels with Alcoholic and Nanoparticle Additives on Tribological Characteristics of Lubricating Oil by Four Ball tribo-Tester
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Dilution of engine oil with unburned fuels alters its lubricity and tribological properties. In this research paper, SAE-40 lubricating oil samples were contaminated with known percentages (5%) of fuels (diesel, palm-sesame biodiesel blend (B30), B30 + ethanol, B30 + dimethyl carbonate, B30 + carbon nanotubes and, B30 + titanium oxide). The effect

A Study of Protozoa Distribution in Kuantan Coastal Areas
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Seed production of marine finfish in Malaysia is still facing problems about the live feed of starter diets. Currently, we use S or SS-type rotifers, which have sizes from 100 to 200μm. Early-stage larvae of some marine finfish species select feed less than 100 μm. Protozoa is a collective term of aquatic microorganism that has been identified to

Internationalisation of the Islamic Thought: the Contributions of Sayyed Ismail (1936-2010)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper examines the intellectual contributions of Sayyed Ismail Bukhari (1936-2010), a great scholar, author and reformer from South India. Despite the profound personality and pivotal works, no serious studies are found which critically scrutinise his theses on Islamic thought and relevantization of revealed knowledge. Using the evaluative and

Towards a Holistic Healthcare: Synthesis of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and Unani Medicine
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Holistic healthcare, which is about caring for the whole person — appropriately attending to physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs, is one of the primary objectives of Shariah. This service protects the functioning of the human psyche and physics absorbs ingredients from the materials they consume, the environment they live in, and the ov

High Growth Rates of Asian Seabass (Lates Calcarifer Bloch, 1790) Fry Reared Using a Demand Feeder with an Image Processing System for Detecting Fish Behaviour
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The feeding behaviour and growth rates of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) fry were studied using a new type demand (NTD) feeder. This feeding system was equipped with a programme to detect hunger behaviour in fish and automatically dispense pellets. This system could overcome hierarchy in fish during feeding. Fish rearing experiments w

Mildly Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase (Alp) - a Liver Tumour Hint not to be Missed
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract Healthcare providers are responsible for performing medical check-ups, analyse and interpret patient's laboratory results. It is common for an initially asymptomatic patient to receive abnormal results including liver enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The concern in these patients is the cut-off value for mildly elevated leve

Internationalization of the Islamic Thought: the Contributions of Sayyed Ismail(1936-2010)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper examines the intellectual contributions of Sayyed Ismail Bukhari (1936-2010), a great scholar, author and reformer from South India. Sayyed Ismail, who is also locally known as Panoor Thangal, produced seminal works on Quranic exegesis, hadith, fiqh and theology during his lifetime. Despite the profound personality and pivotal works, no

Fiqh Al-Ṭahārah: the Islamic Hygienical Jurisprudence
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Is cleanliness (ṭahārah) a cornerstone in Islam? Why does a Muslim need to repeat wuḍū’ multiple times every day? Having a bath, how a man is purified from a seminally defiled state? What is the purpose behind the stringent rulings related to ṭahārah? These are among possible questions to be emerged from anyone who ponders on the extensi

An Experimental Investigation on Surface Quality of Cfrp After Milling in Cutting Fluid Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) are becoming more widely used in replacing metallic component as it offers better strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel while having high corrosive resistance. Although CFRP have always been manufactured near to net-shape, secondary machining process is still required to achieve the final dimension. Machi

Developing an Islamic Framework for Medical Confidentiality Practice
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Arguably, ethical guidelines and medical laws on medical confidentiality have fallen short of extrapolating the methodology for dealing with potential ethical complexities in its practice. This drawback has made it difficult for physicians to prevent harm from occurring if it has not yet happened, remove harm if it has already taken place, or minim
