The Development of an Expert System for Decision Making in Forest Resources Management.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tropical forests are a repository of biodiversity which provides habitats for more than 50% of the earth, s plant and animal species, an important sink for carbon stores which provides many goods and ecosystem services and a critical contributor to livelihoods, mainly of the indigenous groups which are totally dependent on forests. Yet, forests are

Phonetically Rich and Balanced Speech Corpus for Arabic speaker-Independent Continuous Automatic Speech Recognition Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper describes an efficient framework for designing and developing Arabic speaker-independent continuous automatic speech recognition systems based on a phonetically rich and balanced speech corpus. The speech corpus contains 415 sentences recorded by 42 (21 male and 21 female) Arabic native speakers from 11 Arab countries representing three

Factorial Validity and Invariance of the Muet Writing Rating Scale: Empirical and Theoretical Correspondence
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The validity of performance assessment depends to a large extent on the rating scale that is used in the assessment procedure. It delineates the theoretical construct being measured and yield considerable influence on how performances are judged and interpreted. Implications of the use of rating scales are therefore far too important to be taken li

Empirical Understanding of and Perceived Ability in Statistical Concepts: a Rasch Measurement Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigates students’ conceptual knowledge and understanding of basic statistical concepts and compares it against statistical competence, which is associated with discrete statistical knowledge and basic interpretive skills. It also examines the correspondence between students’ perceived ability and their empirical understanding of

Localization of the Antigenic Sites of Newcastle Disease Virus Nucleocapsid Using a Panel of Monoclonal Antibodies
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A panel of six monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the nucleocapsid (NP) protein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was produced by immunization of Balb/c mice with purified recombinant NP protein. Western Blot analysis showed that all the mAbs recognized linearized NP epitopes. Three different NP antigenic sites were identified using deleted trunca

Optimization of Serum Preparation in Vero Cell Culture Using a Statistical Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Serum is a vital supplement in animal cell culture. Serum used in animal cell culture is from bovine source marketed by different companies, and somewhat expensive. The aims of this work were serum treatment and screening for the best serum concentration for Vero cell culture using STATISTICA software. The best result obtained from the software was

Etiological Agents of Suppurative Corneal Ulcer: Study of 56 Cases
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study was carried out to isolate and identify the etiological agents causing suppurative corneal ulcers and to perform the antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the bacterial isolates. Samples (corneal swabs and scrapings) were collected aseptically from 56 suppurative corneal ulcer patients attending Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH)

Cell Rupture of Recombinant Escherichia Coli Using High Pressure Homogenizer
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cell rupture is one of the earlier steps in downstream processing which are required for the recovery of biological products that are located inside cells. Cells could be disrupted either by using chemicals or mechanical method. In this study, cell rupture was carried out by mechanical force using high pressure homogenizer (HPH). The aim of this st

Interaction Between Phosphoprotein and Nucleocapsid of Newcastle Disease Virus
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The phosphoprotein (P) of paramyxoviruses plays a central role in the viral genome RNA replication and transcription. In genome replication, the P binds to the unassembled nucleocapsid (NP0) and activates it to encapsidate the newly synthesized viral genomic RNA. P also plays a supplemental role in genomic RNA synthesis by binding to the ribonucleo

Development of a Wastewater Treatment System for Chromium Removal Using Chitosan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study attempts to evaluate the removal of chromium from aqueous solution using chitosan as an adsorbent. The experiment was conducted by varying chitosan dosage (10-30 mg), pH (5-8), contact time (10-90 min) and agitation speed (50-250 rpm). The initial Cr concentration was fixed to 20 mg L-1. The results indicated that pH is the most signific
