Extraction of Fish Oil from the Skin of Indian Mackerel Using Supercritical Fluids
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The total oil was extracted from the ground skin of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) using various techniques of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) at 20–35 MPa and 45–75 �C and by the Soxhlet method for comparison. The oil yield increased with pressure and temperature and the highest yields were 24.7, 53.2, 52.8, and 52.3/100 g sam

The Psychology of Preaching: a Literature Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study focuses on improving the effectiveness of Muslim preachers (dai’e) by providing them with a theory of psychology that allows preachers to address the psychological issues of their audience. After reviewing various theories of personality, this author proposes Erickson‟s theory as the key theory that preachers can use to become more e

Social Traps and Ethical Dilemmas: an Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study looks at the usefulness of 5 hadith to allow Muslim managers to effectively manage social traps and ethical dilemmas. These hadith are: "actions are but by intentions", "the religion is naseeha", "the lawful is clear and the forbidden is clear", "there is no harming and no reciprocating of harm" and "w

Auditory Perception in Individuals with Friedreich’s Ataxia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an inherited ataxia with a range of progressive features including axonal degeneration of sensory nerves. The aim of this study was to investigate auditory perception in affected individuals. METHODS: Fourteen subjects with genetically defined FRDA participated. Two control groups, one consisting of h

Takaful and Retakaful: Advanced Principles and Practices
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This publication is based on the research done in the course of setting up Munich Re’s office for Islamic reinsurance: Munich Re’s retakaful operation (MRR) was licensed by the Central Bank of Malaysia on 31 December 2007 in Kuala Lumpur to conduct worldwide family and general retakaful business. The purpose of this publication is to provide an

Stochastic Models of Heredity Rhesus Factor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We consider linear and nonlinear stochastic models of transmission Rhesus factor from parents to their offspring and show that in long run behavior the frequency of Rhesus factor be the same.Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 4(8): 3306-3310, 2010 ISSN 1991-8178© 2010, INSInet Publication Stochastic Models of Heredity Rhesus Factor

Strange Attractor in the Potts Model on a Cayley Tree in the Presence of Competing Interactions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We study the phase diagram for Potts model on a Cayley tree with competing nearestneighbor interactions J1, prolonged next-nearest-neighbor interactions J2 and one-level nextnearest- neighbor interactions J3. Vannimenus [1] proved that the phase diagram of Ising model with Jo = 0 contains a modulated phase, as found for similar models on periodic l

Perceptual Speech Enhancement Exploiting Temporal Masking Properties of Human Auditory System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The use of simultaneous masking in speech enhancement has shown promise for a range of noise types. In this paper, a new speech enhancement algorithm based on a short-term temporal masking threshold to noise ratio (MNR) is presented. A novel functional model for forward masking based on three parameters is incorporated into a speech enhancement fra

Empirical Modelling of Vibration in Micro End Milling of Pmma
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the vibration issue in micro end milling of of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) workpiece using integrated multi-process machine tools DT 110 (Mikrotools Inc., Singapore) with control parameter; spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The vibration was measured using accelerometer (DYTRAN Instruments Inc., USA). The optimum so

Pc Sound Card Based Instrumentation and Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The availability of inexpensive PC sound cards that can simultaneously play and record stereo digital audio files permits a single PC or laptop or netbook to function as both a signal generator and as a dual-channel recording digital oscilloscope. This paper presents how sound card with Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox can be utilized for instrument
