Ionic Conductivity of pema-Liclo4 Polymer Electrolytes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Solid polymer electrolytes comprised of various weight percent ratios of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt were prepared via solution casting technique using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The conductivity values of the electrolytes were determined via impedance spectroscopy. The conductivity of the

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Despite considerable research in advanced countries on public perceptions of and attitudes to modern biotechnology, limited effort has been geared towards developing a structural model of public attitudes to modern biotechnology. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relevant factors influencing public attitudes towards genetically modified

Effect of Demographic Variables on Public Attitude Towards Genetically Modified Insulin
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Earlier studies on public attitude and risk perception have concluded that the public’s attitudes towards biotechnology was primarily driven by several factors such as familiarity, perceived benefits, perceived risks, risk acceptance, moral concerns and encouragement. Demographic characteristics have been known to affect attitudes towards science

Effect of Energy Input on Microstructure and Hardness of Tig Welded Aisi 430-ferritic Stainless Steel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Studies on the weldability of ferritic stainless steel grades suggests that low heat input rate and better heat transfer dynamics are appropriate for the control of grain size and microstructural feature in thin sections. However, the optimal welding conditions to achieve combination of such characteristics have yet to be established. In the presen

High Quality Acquisition of Surface Electromyography – Conditioning Circuit Design
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The acquisition of Surface Electromyography (SEMG) signals is used for many applications including the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases, and prosthesis control. The diagnostic quality of the SEMG signal is highly dependent on the conditioning circuit of the SEMG acquisition system. This paper presents the design of an SEMG conditioning circuit t

Pressureless Sintering of electro-Conductive Zirconia Composites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present work, 3 mol% Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) composite containing 25 wt.% of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) was prepared via pressureless sintering method in an inert atmosphere over the temperature range of 1350-1550°C for one hour. The effect of zirconium diboride content in the zirconia matrix, as well as the sintering t

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

There has been major legislative reform and development in the area of consumer protection in Malaysia for the past 10 years. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 which came into being at the end of 1999 was the milestone for the development. Subsequently, the National Consumer Policy was introduced in 2002 with the aims, inter alia to strengthen the l

Molecular Identification and Characterization of a Bacterium That has Potential to Degrade Low Concentration of Haloalkanoic Acid
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Most halogenated compounds are major environmental pollutants. Pollution from industrial chemicals and herbicide/pesticide from agricultural activities cause problem to the society. The main objectives were to isolate and characterize the bacterium that can grow in halogenated substrate as the sole source of carbon. A common microbiological and mol
