Bioconversion of ω-fatty Acid from Giant Snakehead (Channa Micropeltes) Fish Oil
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Study on bioconversion of ω-fatty acid contained in Channa micropeltes fish oil was carried out using guinea pig lung homogenate. The fish oil of C. micropeltes was incubated aerobically at 37oC in phosphate buffer solution with the addition of guinea pig lung homogenate. After incubation it was found that ca. 76% arachidonic acid has been convert

Switching Algorithm to Avoid Attitude Representation Singularity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the singularity associated with a minimal attitude parameterization using Euler angles is avoided by a switching algorithm. This algorithm is based on describing the attitude as a function of time with two sets of Euler angle sequences that possess nonconjunctive singularities. This property exists when the singularity causing values

Flow-3d Cfd Model of Bifurcated Open Channel Flow: Setup and Validation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bifurcation is a morphological feature present in most of fluvial systems; where a river splits into two channels, each bearing a portion of the flow and sediments. Extensive theoretical studies of river bifurcations were performed to understand the nature of flow patterns at such diversions. Nevertheless, the complexity of the flow structure in th

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research aims to assess the economic impact of climate change on the poverty of rice farmers in Kedah. A personal interview was conducted in a sample of 400 farm households in Kedah, Malaysia. To achieve the goal of the analysis, a logit model was used. The findings indicate that education and non-farm have major positive effect on the probabi

Image Quality Assessment of Fast Fourier Transform Domain Watermarked Images
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Digital watermarking is the processing of embedding digital signature into the host media such as image, video, text, audio etc. During the watermarking process, images are subjected to variety of attacks such as noise in transmission channel, geometric attacks,compression, processing like filtering, etc, all this affect the visual quality of water

Surface Characteristics of Nanoclay Modified with Different Alkylamonium Ions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The molecular chain length of alkylamonium has a pronounced effect on clay surface polarity, and hence affects the interaction between the polymer matrix and organoclay reinforcement. In order to achieve intercalative or exfoliative dispersion in polymer nanocomposite preparation, surface treatments are always employed using ion exchange process. S
