Plastic to Elastic: fungi-Derived Composite Nanopapers with Tunable Tensile Properties
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fungal chitin is attracting commercial and academic interest as a cheap, renewable, easily isolated and abundant alternative to crustacean chitin. Being covalently decorated with β-glucan, fungal chitin exhibits a native nanocomposite architecture that varies in fibre diameter and chitin to β-glucan ratio from species to species, resulting in mec

The Income Elasticity of Participation in Physical Activity: Evidence from Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Estimating the income elasticity of demand for market goods and services has received significant research attention. However, the income elasticity of participation in physical activity has never been studied thoroughly, especially in developing countries. To fill this research gap, the income elasticity of time spent in both vigorous and moderate

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The inspection and grading of the watermelon are done manually but it is a tedious job and it is difficult for the graders to maintain constant vigilance. Thus, the image processing has widely been used for identification, detection, grading and quality evaluation in the agricultural field. The objective of this work is to investigate the sweetness

Cfd Studies on Triangular micro-Vortex Generators in Flow Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present study, the flow characteristics of the commercially used S809 wind turbine airfoil controlled with triangular counter-rotating micro-vortex generators at stall angle of attack of 15 degrees and 10 m/s, 15 m/s and 20 m/s (speed range used in the wind turbine applications) had been computationally investigated. In addition to the contr

Sustainable Dimension Pillars Adaptation in Neighborhood Assessment Criteria of Community Planning & Design
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the study of sustainable dimension pillars (SDP) on neighborhood assessment sub-criteria of community planning & design. The problem of the study is to find out whether the townships assessment tools fully address sustainability or it might be ‘green but not sufficient’ to be sustainable. The aim of the study is to evalu

anti-Biofilm and anti-Quorum Sensing Properties of Ethanol and Aqueous Extracts of Orthosiphon Stamineus and Andrographis Paniculata Leaves and Stems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Quorum sensing controls a wide spectrum of processes and phenotypic behaviours including biofilm formation that helps in the survival and virulence of bacteria in hosts. Thus, anti-quorum sensing is suggested to combat bacterial infections. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-biofilm forming and anti-quorum sensing activities which
