Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia's population is rapidly ageing. By 2040, it will have a virtually equal proportion of young and elderly citizens (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2020). What would this entail for politics in Malaysia? This study focuses on a generation that is sometimes overlooked while discussing politics and nation building. Elder generations are

Migrant Workers, Migrants, Internally Displaced Persons, Asylum Seekers and Refugees - the Silent Sufferers of the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Brief Review of Media Reports
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Like other vulnerable groups, the pandemic has severely and negatively impacted marginalized groups, including migrant laborers, documented and undocumented migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, and asylum seekers. The present study briefly reviewed cases of attempted and completed suicide while also examining their causality amo

Dual u-Net with Resnet Encoder for Segmentation of Medical Images
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Segmentation of medical images has been the most demanding and growing area currently for analysis of medical images. Segmentation of polyp images is a huge challenge because of the variability of color depth and morphology in polyps throughout colonoscopy imaging. For segmentation, in this work, we have used a dataset of images of the gastrointest

Fabrication of biopolymer-Based Piezoelectric Thin Film from Chitosan Using Solvent Casting Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The application of biopolymer in piezoelectric application provides a great potential to replace traditional piezoelectric substances like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and lead zirconate titanium (PZT), because of their biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity properties and sustainable production. Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide has b

Application of Canfis for Modelling and Predicting Multiple Output Performances for Different Materials in μedm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Micro Electrical Discharge Machining (μEDM) is one of the most demanding manufacturing processes available today. The selection of EDM parameters remains a challenge since it is frequently based on machinist intuition and heuristic approaches. Artificial intelligence algorithms have been used to model and predict the μEDM machining process in rec

Analytical Assessment of Blended Fuels for Pulse Detonation Engine Performance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A pulse detonation engine (PDE) is possible to be a next-generation high-performance propulsion system in aerospace-related applications. To generate power or thrust, PDE uses repeated detonations. The current study evaluates the PDE performance with alternative and blended fuels in the Zeldovich–von Neumann–Doring (ZND) model. Parameters such
