Development of Compatible Lignocellulolytic Fungal Consortium for Rapid Composting of Rice Straw
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential of lignocellulolytic fungi for rapid composting of rice straw. Forty-nine isolates of fungi were isolated from several natural and induced rice straw composting sources. Ten isolates were tested for their potential to decompose lignocellulosic rice straw by assessing their growth rate and biomas

Modelling for Fabrication of Microelectrodes by Localized Electrochemical Deposition for micro-Electrodischarge Machining
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the theoretical modelling and experimental investigation on the effect of different localized electrochemical deposition (LECD) parameters for fabricating a variety of microstructures. In order to estimate the rate of the deposition and the condition of the deposited structure, a set of mathematical relations is developed with t

Seroconversion After Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccination
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Hepatitis B virus infection is an important public health problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Recombinant hepatitis B vaccine for the prevention of hepatitis B virus infection is in practice in different parts of the world since its availability in 1986. Government of Bangladesh has also included hepatitis B vaccine in EPI

Pricing of Act/atm Services Through Bilevel Programming Approaches
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study a multilevel framework is proposed to analyze the charges definition problem for an ATC/ATM service provider. Two cases are considered: a case in which the ATC/ATM service provider is a public company whose final objective is, while guaranteeing safety, to promote the level of end users demand, and a case in which the ATC/ATM service

Foreground segmentation-Based Human Detection with Shadow Removal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recent research in video surveillance system has shown an increasing focus on creating reliable systems utilizing non-computationally expensive technique for observing humans' appearance, movements and activities, thus providing analytical information for advanced human behaviour analysis and realistic human modelling. In order for the system t

Forward Masking Threshold Estimation Using Neural Networks and its Application to Parallel Speech Enhancement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Forward masking models have been used successfully in speech enhancement and audio coding. Presently, forward masking thresholds are estimated using simplified masking models which have been used for audio coding and speech enhancement applications. In this paper, an accurate approximation of forward masking threshold estimation using neural networ

A Portable Myoelectric Robotic System for Light Exercise Among Bedridden and Wheelchair Bound Individuals
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study an interactive exercise technique is developed to cater to bedridden and wheelchair bound individuals, in order for them to remain both mentally and physically alert despite their immobility. The sedentary lifestyle common among bedridden and wheelchair bound individuals leads to a variety of problems such as stiff muscles and numbnes

Frequency of Nutritional Rickets in Children Admitted with Severe Pneumonia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of nutritional rickets in children hospitalized with severe pneumonia. METHOD: This study was carried out at the department of paediatric medicine at National Institute of Child Health Karachi. It is a case series done over a period of six months from 15th November 2008 to 15th may 2009. Patients admitted (n=13

Ergodic Properties of Bogoliubov Automorphisms in Free Probability
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We show that some C∗-dynamical systems obtained by free Fock quantization of classical ones, enjoy ergodic properties much stronger than their boson or fermion analogous. Namely, if the classical dynamical system (X, T, μ) is ergodic but not weakly mixing, then the resulting free quantized system (G, α) is uniquely ergodic (w.r.t. the fixed poi

Fatty Acid Compositions of Fish Oil Extracted from Different Parts of Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger Kanagurta) Using Various Techniques of Supercritical Co2 Extraction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fatty acid compositions of fish oil extracted from different parts of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) using various techniques of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at optimised conditions (35 MPa, 60 �C, 2 ml/min) were analysed and compared to the results of Soxhlet extraction. The amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) recover
