Virtual Reference Service in the Muslim World: Opportunities and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The reference function has undergone changes in the variety of services offered and in the service itself. One area of change is in the deployment of the technologies used to meet the demands of users. Remote access by library users is a serious challenge to reference services. They must develop strategies to cope with the demands of the user for r

Optimization of Lignin Peroxidase Production and Stability by Phanerochaete Chrysosporium Using sewage-Treatment-plant Sludge as Substrate in a stirred-Tank Bioreactor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A laboratory-scale study was carried out to produce lignin peroxidase (ligninase) by white rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) using sewage-treatmentplant (STP) sludge as the major substrate. The optimization was done using full-factorial design (FFD) with agitation and aeration as the two parameters. Nine experiments indicated by the FFD were

Panel Data Analysis of Malaysian Listed Banks on Corporate Gevernance and Risk
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance on the risk of banks. A sample of twelve listed bank holding companies is examined over a ten year period (1996-2005). Based on the panel data analysis, separate board leadership structure, higher proportion of independent directors, smaller board size, lower director owne

Potential of Nahar (Mesua Ferrea) Seed Oil for Industrial Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The increasing demand for oils both for human consumption and for industrial applications has culminated into an increasing need to search for oils from non-conventional sources to augment the available ones and also to meet specific applications. Mesua ferrea L. (Guttiferae), penaga lilin (Malay) is a moderate sized tree of tropical Asia. The dehu

Cost of Treating Hypertension in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Cost of illness studies approximate the economic burden of any disease on the society. Hypertension is one of the most prevalent vascular diseases and is considered as a main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension is greatly prevalent and severe in Malaysia. Its care is insufficient. Hypertension detection and treatment i

Effect of multiple-Particle Size Reinforced Silicon Carbide(Sicp) on Properties of Aluminium Matrix Composite
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite (AMC) exhibits promising properties enhancement in the field of metal matrix composite. Improved properties of reinforced SiCp-AMC can be determined by varying the nature of reinforcement and their volume fraction. AMCs with multiple-particle size (MPS) of SiC were prepared using 20 w

6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[p-Phenylenebis(Nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol Chloroform Disolvate
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The title compound, C22H20N2O4·2CHCl3, a new Schiff base compound, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Intermolecular bifurcated C-HO hydrogen bonds involving the two O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and the H atom of the chloroform solv

Intelligent Auto Tracking in 3d Space by Image Processing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A robotic vision system has been designed and analyzed for real time tracking of maneuvering objects. Passive detection using live TV images provides the tracking signals derived from the video data. The calibration and orientation of two cameras is done by a bundle adjustment technique. The target location algorithm determines the centroid coordin
