Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The bulk appearance of arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT arrays or CNT forests) is dark as they absorb most of the incident light. In this paper, two postprocessing techniques have been described where the CNT forest can be patterned by selective bending of the tips of the nanotubes using a rigid cylindrical tool. A tungsten tool

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Information about nutrients dynamics is very important for the lake’s productivity and ecosystem. Such information is lacking in the case of lake Kenyir, which is the largest man-made lake in Malaysia. A 12-month study (Jan-Dec 2017) was conducted to understand spatio-temporal nutrients dynamics and trophic status of the lake Kenyir. The study wa

While cities around the world are being “read” in literary studies as cosmopolitan and contested terrains, Kuala Lumpur seems to have escaped a similar fate. There are a good many reasons for this but the one that has stood out time and again is that this city, the capital city of Malaysia, has been persistently represented in Malaysian literat

The Role of Circulating Lipid Chaperone Proteins in Insulin Signalling and Inflammation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A growing body of evidence indicates that adipose tissue actively secretes lipid chaperone proteins into circulatory system, such as fatty acid binding protein4 (FABP4) and lipocalin2 (LCN2). FABP4 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance, whereas role of LCN2 is less clear; being described as causing insulin r
