The first iPhone was unveiled by former Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007 and released on June 29, 2007. Later in the same year, Apple announced that a software development kit (SDK) would be available to third-party developers to guide the programmers to direct their thoughts in the proper course. In less than six months, the App Store

Design of a Cavity Backed Spiral Antenna with Improved Pattern Symmetry
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper we investigate the azimuthal pattern symmetry of an Archimedean spiral antenna which is designed to operate over the frequency range 3-10 GHz. The performance of the spiral in free space is compared with a structure that is backed by a perfect electric conductor with a separation distance of λ/4 at the operating frequencies. The latt

Biofuel Potential Within Chaetoceros Species (Bacillartophyceae) from Coastal Water of Pahang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Several marine diatoms have been known for their high lipid content. Chaetoceros is the largest genus of marine planktonic diatoms with approximately 400 species described. Lipid is important as primary storage for nutrient and essential for cell's growth and function. Nowdays, there are increasing in demands for alternative source of fuel with

Selective Isolation of Rare Actinomycetes from Mangrove Sediment of Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Actinomycetes are renowned as a rich source of bioactive molecules. However, the commercially potent secondary metabolites from well-known actinomycetes are difficult to discover due to the practice of screening that is leading to rediscovery of known bioactive compounds, thereby, emphasizing the need to isolate undiscovered actinomycetes. Mangrove

Molecular Studies of Cold Active Lipase and Protease
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Psychrophilic organisms produce enzymes adapted to function at low temperature. These enzymes are characterized by a catalytic efficiency at low and moderate temperatures but are rather thermolabile. Thermophilic enzymes usually feature in discussion of industrial uses because their heat-stability makes them ideal biocatalyst for many reactions. Ho

Humanising Education: the Guideline on Sejahtera Academic Framework (Saf) for well-Being Community
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Education is more than studying for examinations and getting ready for employability and satisfying industry needs. Rather, education now a days incorporates 4Ms (Manpower, Mind, Machine and Market). Education with soul and loaded with values and wisdom can nurture the humanising process that makes individual and professional achieve sustainable de

Role of Organisational Culture on Performance Measurement Practice: the Case of Malaysian Manufacturing Firms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of the competing values on firm performance mediated by diverse performance measurement system. With a different focus to that of Henri’s (2006) concept of dominant culture, we argue that in control dominant firms, flexibility and diverse performance measures (PM) can lead to improved performance

Legal Development on Management of Strata Dispute in Peninsular Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Strata living brings people of diverse interests, different cultures, values, ages and backgrounds under one roof. With that background, it is usual to have differences and disputes. While many would generally believe that problems can be resolved by prople involved talking about their problems and fulfilling their expected responsibilities, more o

Natural Photosensitizers for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were constructed by using the Lawsonia inermis leaves, Sumac/Rhus fruits, and Curcuma longa roots as natural sensitizers of anatase-based nanostructure TiO2 thin film Paint-coated on ITO conducting glass. The orange-red Lawsone, red purple anthocyanin and yellow Curcumin are the main components in the natural dyes
