Empirically Based Rainfall Threshold for Landslides Occurrence in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

High-intensity rainfall has been recognized as the main factor of the landslide events in Cameron Highlands. Locating at an abrupt altitude with high intensity rainfall annually caused many attempts of slope failures in this area. This catastrophe weakens the socio-economy and situates the people of Cameron Highlands in difficulty since they lost t

Synthesis of 2-substituted 4(R)-hydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one, a Prostaglandin Intermediate with Methyl Oleate from Palm Oil
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Methyl oleate, 1 was obtained from palm methyl esters through removal of saturated esters in a urea complex formation followed by silver nitrate impregnated silica gel column chromatography. The oleate was then reacted with 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde 2, to form an aldol compound which, after lactonization, formation of tosylate and cycli

The Efficiency of gas-Kinetic Bgk Scheme for Solving 2-d Compressible Inviscid Regular Shock Reflection Problem
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the 1st and 2nd order gas-kinetic BGK scheme is developed and tested for its ability in solving the two-dimensional compressible inviscid flow fields. The BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) scheme uses the collisional Boltzmann equation as the governing equation for flow evolutions. Second-order BGK scheme is also developed for flow simulat

An Efficient Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks with Neighbor Awareness and Multicasting
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

An ad hoc Network is built on the fly where a number of mobile nodes work in cooperation without the engagement of any centralized access point or any fixed infrastructure. In this paper, we proposed an efficient routing protocol for ad hoc networks which we named as NAMP (Neighbor Aware Multicast Routing Protocol). NAMP aims at achieving higher pe

The Perception of Voicing in English word-Final Consonants: Examining the Perceptual Assimilation Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the findings of a perception experiment that was conducted to examine the relative difficulty encountered by Malay speakers of English in contrasting voicing in word-final obstruents. The pairs of obstruents examined in the paper were /t/- /d/, /s/-/z/ and /f/-/v/. Results from the experiment are discussed in relation to the Per

Economic Evaluation of Air Quality Improvements in Klang Valley, Malaysia : Validity and Reliability of Contingent Valuation Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia has enjoyed one of the least polluted urban environments in Asia. The goal of achieving industrial country status by the year 2020, and the associated rapid economic growth has started to impose costs in terms of industrial pollution and degradation of urban environment. This research employed contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate

Asabiyyah, Religion and Regime Types: re-Reading Ibn Khaldun
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ibn Khaldūn found a “causal determinative analytical tool” to explain development, progression and disintegration of ‘umrān (lit. culture). He argued that ‘umrān comes into existence as a result of five types of causes: (1) the “ultimate or first cause,” (2) final cause, (3) efficient cause, (4) formal cause, and (5) material cause.

Exports and Economic Growth Nexus: the Case of Pakistan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper re-investigates the exports and economic growth nexus for Pakistan. The paper employs cointegration and multivariate Granger Causality Test [Toda and Yamamoto (1995)] to study the long-run and short-run dynamics among exports, imports, and real output growth over the 1960–2003 period. Results strongly support a long-run relationship am
