Documenting the Languages of the Orang Asli of Malaysia: Some Ethical Concerns
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Attempts to document the languages of indigenous communities which are facing the threat of extinction in linguistically diverse countries like Malaysia have given rise to numerous ethical issues, partly due to the disadvantaged and illiterate statuses of these minority communities. This paper explores some of these concerns such as that of obtaini

Ethanol Fermentation from Raw Starch of Sweet Sorghum Grains
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethanol can be readily produced by fermentation of simple sugars that are converted from either starchy crops or cellulosic materials. The hydrolysis and fermentation were used to produce ethanol from raw starch of sweet sorghum grains by utilizing commercially available α-amylase and glucoamylase. Ethanol production from hydrolyzed sweet sorghum

Optimisation of Hydrolysis Conditions for Ethanol Production from Sorghum Starch
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The conversion of starch to sugar can be achieved by hydrolysis process. The two-step enzymatic hydrolysis of sweet sorghum was performed by commercially available α-amylase and glucoamylase. An optimisation study was carried out to optimise the factors of the hydrolysis process, namely, amount of substrate, liquefaction and saccharification tempe

Teaching Engineering Ethics: a Necessary Measure for Engineering Capacity Building in Arab Countries
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Interest in engineering ethics education has developed significant momentum in most of advanced countries unlike Arab countries, which have not yet paid enough attention to such critical issue. As engineering work becomes more complex and diverse an understanding of engineering ethics becomes as important to the proper education of engineers as the

A Computer Based Simulator for erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents new open source computer based simulator for the implementation of single stage Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) such as single pass (SP), double pass (DP) and triple pass (TP) EDFA. In this software it is possible to manipulate the design parameters such as pump power, pump wavelength, signal power, signal wavelength, fiber

Novel Theoretical Modeling of Quadruple Pass Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a novel theoretical model of an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) configured in Quadruple Pass Dual Stage (QPDS) amplification which is incorporated with Tunable band pass filters (TBFs) is proposed. Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) is filtered-out in mid-section to ensure efficient amplification of the signal as it propagates

Theoretical Analysis of triple-Pass erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Many configurations of EDFA producing triple pass EDFAs have been used, however, only two configurations are commonly used in the optical fiber communication system due to their high performance. Those two configurations are configured in a double stage EDFA. The first configuration is (configuration A) consists of a single-pass EDFA as the first s

Mineral Composition of Carica Papaya Linn Extracts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Investigation was carried out on the nutritionally essential mineral elements contents of seed (CPS), endocarp (CPF) and epicarp (CPP) of papaya extracts. Both aqueous (h2o) and PBS extracts were analyzed to determine the contents of 8 minerals namely Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ag and Se using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) following microw

Education and socio-Political Change in the 11th and 12th Centuries Abbasid Realm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Education is an important instrument of change; though the process is usually very slow - very different from revolution - and its broad impact cannot easily and clearly observed. Good and balanced education will expectedly have a good impact on society, economy and politics; while, bad policy and culture of education will accordingly have the oppo

The Influence of Relaxation with Electromyography and Islamic Prayer Programs for Female Muslim
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chronic work-related stress can fray nerves, keep you up at night and contribute to significant and independent risk problems such as heart disease and depression. Particularly, chronic job strain can put both your physical and emotional health at risk. Muscle relaxation is a useful evidence based teaching and treatment approach for physical/remedi
