Analyses of Rain Fade Countermeasure Technique Time Diversity at 26 GHZ
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Measurements of 26 GHz attenuation due to rain were acquired from a microwave link set-up in Malaysia, a country in one of the most extreme weather with regard to rainfall rates. The data were analyzed with particular interest assessing the performance of Time Diversity as a conceivable fade mitigation technique in broadcast applications. The techn

Disaster Management: a Study on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Emergency Nurse and Community Health Nurse
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Disasters are unpredictable and the numbers are mounting from day to day. Disaster kills and affects people, demolishes properties and disrupts environment. In the occurrence of disaster, nurses play vital roles in dealing with the victims, therefore it is crucial for nurses to be prepared in facing disaster and its aftermath. The aim

Gliclazide is a second generation sulfonylurea, which is used as antidiabetics drug. It is orally administrated and used for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and has duration of action of 12 h or more. Beside its hypoglycaemic effects, gliclazide was reported to have many other important effects, such as: suppression

A Review of Heavy Metals Contamination in Traditional Medicinal Products
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Traditional medicine (TM) has been used since ages, during the past few decades there was a notable global increase in TM usage. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) around 70% of world population relies on traditional healing system for their basic health care needs. The broad use of TM has highlighted many issues subjected to the effi

Wound Healing Properties of Ethanolic Extract of Acrostichum Aureum and Acrostichum Speciosum Rhizome in Rats
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the assessment of wound healing properties of ethanolic extract of Acrostichum aureum and A. speciosum in rats. It was carried out on 6 treated groups with 6 rats each group. The excisional wound was made on the dorsal interscapular region of each rat by a 6 mm biopsy punch. T1 and T2 were treated with 5% and 10% A. aureum ethan

System Identification for an Autonomous Quadrotor Using Extended and Unscented Kalman Filters
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents aerodynamic parameters estimation techniques for an autonomous quadrotor through the implementation of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). EKF and UKF have known to be typical estimation techniques used to estimate the state vectors and parameters of nonlinear dynamical systems. In this paper, three m

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Energy use and the associated carbon dioxide emissions, has been rising rapidly over the past few decades and about 40% of the global energy consumption is associated with the construction sector. Of late many measures have been stepped up to curb the excessive use of energy in buildings which resulted in many energy rating and benchmarking efforts

Why Ethics in Research are Crucial?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethical norms are so everywhere that one might be tempted to consider them as simple rational. Most civilizations use laws to implement widely accepted moral standards and legal rules. It is important to know that ethics and law are not the same. An act may be lawful but immoral/unethical or unlawful but moral/ethical. There are a number of reasons

Determination of Arsenic Content of Available Traditional Medicines in Malaysia Using Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose: To determine the content of arsenic (As) in some locally available traditional medicines in the East Coast region of Malaysia. Methods: The determination of As was conducted using hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). Sample preparation entailed mineral acid digestion using hydrochloric acid and nitric acid mixture in
