Optimization of Food Waste to Sewage Sludge Ratio for Anaerobic co-Digestion Process Using Artificial Neural Network (Ann) and Genetic Algorithm (Ga)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Food waste is a major global issue especially in developed countries. This is because of the abundance of food waste in landfills has contributed to the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG). Therefore, by using anaerobic co-digestion technology, food waste (FW) can be used as a substrate with sewage sludge (SS) to produce a valuable product such as met

Characterization of 3d (65:35) Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Incorporated with Fibrin and Atelocollagen Scaffolds Using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Porosity and Swelling Tests
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Scaffolds play a role as a temporary framework and an extracellular matrix substitute for cultured cells. They provide cells growth substrate and promote mechanical integrity for the newly formed tissues. Previous studies indicated that there were many limitations when natural or synthetic scaffolds material is applied individually. To overcome thi
