Microbial Chitosan for the Fabrication of Piezoelectric Thin Film
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chitin has proven to have a good mechanical and electrical properties to be used in making piezoelectric thin films. However, due to the restriction in solubilizing chitosan in many solvents, there is increasing interest in exploring the used of chitosan in producing thin films. Chitosan, compared to chitin, can be easily solubilized in certain dil

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Muslim scientists have a lot of contributions in many areas such as medical, engineering, pharmaceutical and architectural. Many do not fully appreciate the numerous scientific contributions Islamic civilization and the early Muslims made. From the reality, the Muslim youth generations were raised by Western scientific ideological and not instill t

Awareness of Herbal Products Among Students at Local University in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose: Herbal medicines are the most common type of traditional and complementary medicines (T & CM). T & CM have been used to diagnose and prevent diseases, restore the body’s function, and maintain or improve health. Malaysia has different ethnic groups with different beliefs and cultures. For the three dominant races, Malay, Chinese

The Effect of Kernel Functions on Cryptocurrency Prediction Using Support Vector Machines
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Forecasting in the financial sector has proven to be a highly important area of study in the science of Computational Intelligence (CI). Furthermore, the availability of social media platforms contributes to the advancement of SVM re- search and the selection of SVM parameters. Using SVM kernel functions, this study examines the four kernel functio

Encapsulated Deep Eutectic Solvent for Esterification of Free Fatty Acid
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A novel encapsulated deep eutectic solvent (DES) was introduced for biodiesel production via a two-step process. The DES was encapsulated in medical capsules and were used to reduce the free fatty acid (FFA) content of acidic crude palm oil (ACPO) to the minimum acceptable level (< 1%). The DES was synthesized from methyltriphenylphosphonium br

Comparison of ex-Situ and in-Situ Transesterification for the Production of Microbial Biodiesel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Microbial biodiesel is converted from microbial lipids via transesterification process. Most microbial biodiesel re-search is focusing on the use of microalgal lipids as feedstock. Apart from the microalgae, lipids can also be ex-tracted from other oleaginous microorganisms like fungi and yeast. However, there are gaps in the studies of lipid produ

A Review: Intelligent Controllers for Tropical Food Storage System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Food security can be assured by improving on post harvest storage methods. Food stored under improper storage conditions are prone to increased respiration and transpiration processes which often result in depletion and weight loss of edible material. Storage temperature and relative humidity are major factors that ultimately determine product qual

Quantifying the Air Temperature Reduction with Greenery in UITM Shah Alam: a Microscale Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Growth in cities population has caused urban sprawl which is the key factor in the issues of high temperatures as well as UHI in many countries. This issue has affected the urban microclimate as well as the indoor and outdoor conditions of human thermal comfort. This issue is also aggravated by the replacement of natural greenery area with building

Cfd Modelling of wake-Induced Vibration at Low Reynolds Number
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Flow-induced vibration is an enthralling phenomenon in the field of engineering. Numerous studies have been conducted on converting flow kinetic energy to electrical energy using the fundamental. Wake-induced vibration is one of the configurations used to optimise the generation of electricity. The results of the study on the effect of the gap betw
