Wife Battering from an Islamic Perspective and Malaysian Legal Provisions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Wife battering is a ground for divorce in the Malaysian Shariah Courts. Some husbands claim that it is their prerogative right to discipline their wives by corporal punishment based on their superficial understanding of the Qur’anic text 4:34 which seems to justify this argument. Some feminist organizations condemn this and allege that if physica

Selection of Airfoils for straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Based on Desirable Aerodynamic Characteristics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Selection of the airfoil is crucial for better aerodynamic performance and dimensions of a smaller-capacity SB-VAWT which can compete with conventional energy sources in niche markets like urban areas and off-grid remote applications for diversified applications. Airfoil related design changes also have the potential for increasing the cost effecti

Sustainable Residential Low Density Urban Development: Integrating Sustainable Consciousness with Commercial Viability

This paper will discuss the present integration of sustainable features in a self-contained residential development in the growing urban density in Malaysia - consisting of 36 units semi-detached and 4 units terrace houses – within the constraints of commercial viability of such a project. The projects features the layout planning for green-share

Detection of Vascular Intersection in Retina Fundus
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Vascular intersection can be used as one of the symptoms for monitoring and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy from fundus images. In this work we apply the knowledge of digital image processing, fuzzy logic and neural network technique to detect bifurcation and vein-artery cross-over points in fundus images. The acquired images undergo preprocessin

Regio- and Stereoselective Biomimetic Synthesis of Oligostilbenoid Dimers from Resveratrol Analogues: Influence of the Solvent, Oxidant, and Substitution
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Oligostilbenoids are polyphenols that are widely distributed in nature with multifaceted biological activities. To achieve biomimetic synthesis of unnatural derivatives, we subjected three resveratrol analogues to oligomerization by means of one-electron oxidants. Upon varying the metal oxidant (AgOAc, CuBr(2), FeCl(3)6 H(2)O, FeCl(3)6 H(2)O/NaI, P

Study of Religion: the Queen of Study in Humanities
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Man and religion are among the subjects of interest that configure the establishment of human intellectual tradition. However, tracing down the history of both areas, we are presented with multiple responses either in support of or against the subjects. The relation between the two is also another interesting area to embark on. In the case when the

Clarification of Turbid Lake Water Using Novel Coagulant from Peat Soil
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysian peat soil usually categorised as tropical peat soil was chemically modified to work as a coagulant. This coagulant was found very effective for the removal of turbidity from lake and river water in a laboratory scale study. It was found that turbidity could be as low as 5 FTU after treatment with peat coagulant. Besides turbidity there wa

Effect of Distance from the Support on the Penetration Mechanism of Clamped Circular Polycarbonate Armor Plates
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A 1.91-mm thick circular polycarbonate plate of 115mm diameter was impacted by a spherical steel projectile of 6.98mm diameter at its center. Subsequent impacts were made at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50mm radii of the plate. Dent dimensions for the damaged plate were measured using optical microscope. For a constant projectile velocity of 138ms�1 which
