Appreciation of Vertical Greenery in a City as Public Art
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Vertical greenery (VG) is greenery where plants can be grown on, up, or against internal or external walls of buildings or as freestanding structures. Whereas, public art (PA) is a structure or form that contains an artistic expression. It is placed in public spaces. VG has gained tremendous popularity in recent years, and this offers an opportunit

Design Optimization of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrain
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents an optimization work on hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain using Genetic Algorithm (GA) method. It focused on optimization of the parameters of powertrain components including supercapacitors to obtain maximum fuel economy. Vehicle modelling is based on Quasi-Static-Simulation (QSS) backward-facing approach. A combined cit

Does Neighborhood Green Infrastructure (Ngi) Affect Residents’ self-Perceived Health?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Research has shown that physical inactivity is prevalent among urban residents. It is due to sedentary living and spending a little time on outdoor recreational activities. This study implies that nearby parks, green spaces or even activities on neighborhood streets can increase participation in the outdoors, thus improve health. The aim of the stu

Simulation of Packet Scheduling in Cognitive Long Term evolution-Advanced
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Real Time (RT) and Non-Real Time (NRT) multimedia content demand on mobile devices are increasing at a high pace. Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is expected to cater these demands. However, LTE-A operates at fixed spectrum which leads to spectrum scarcity. Cognitive Radio (CR) is one the promising technologies that is used to overcome spectru

Conceptual Models of Greenspace and Health
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The relationship between greenspace and health is important to be explored because it relates to health issues, which are prevalent among city citizens. Urban greenspace can improve residents' lifestyle for healthier living. The paper presents a review of evidence that links greenspace and health through various conceptual models. The literatur

A Conceptual Framework for Islamic Architecture
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This book discusses a conceptual framework for Islamic architecture which renders Islamic architecture such a unique subject and much different from other architectural expressions. The issues that form the cornerstones of the conceptual framework for Islamic architecture are dealt with in the paper. The issues discussed are: tawhid (the idea of Go

Investigation of Malaysian Low Earth Orbits for Remote Sensing Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper explores the orbit design procedures of a low Earth satellite orbit for remote sensing mission. The mission objective is to gather images over Malaysia as an area of interest for a variety of applications such as land monitoring and digital mapping. The design procedures are mainly driven by the payload performance, lighting conditions a

Metal Toxicity and Environmental Effects on Health: a Study Report on Mineral and Heavy Metal Contents of Different Malaysian Fish Species
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract: This paper discusses effects of metal toxicity and environmental on health and followed by a study report on mineral and heavy metal contents of fish conducted in Malaysia as an example. Fish, a part of being a good source of digestible protein vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are also an important source of hea

Challenges in the Rehabilitation of the Pusu River
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

River rehabilitation efforts in the world are increasing to conserve the ecosystem. These efforts, generally, face challenges from various sources. Major constraints which can turn such a program into a failed project have been discussed explicitly in the first portion of this paper. In the latter portion of the paper, focus has been given on the p

Cfd Investigation of Indoor Hygrothermal Performance in Academic Research Storage Room: Measurement and Validation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Poor hygrothermal performance exacerbates deterioration risk from mould growth, corrosion and damage to archival materials. Improved microcomputers’ computational power has significantly advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models and research developments in indoor airflow, heat transfer and contaminant transport. Nevertheless, numerous u
