A Study on Engine Performance Operating on Compressed Biogas
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Methane is similar in energy content compared to gasoline. Therefore, methane is suitable to be paired or replaced with existing Internal Combustion (IC) engine with slight modification. When compared with gasoline in terms of RON, methane gas is much higher. Such quality in vital in producing high power and high compression Spark Ignition (SI) of

A Comparative Study of Dexmedetomidine and Propofol for Sedation in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction and Objectives: The intensive care unit (ICU) is an uncomfortable and stressful environment for patients. The use of adequate sedation and analgesia is important to reduce stress to patients. The aim of this study was to compare a relatively new sedative agent, dexmedetomidine to current sedative agent used, propofol in the provision o

rfid-Based Intelligent Books Shelving System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Searching and sorting misplaced books is a difficult task often carried out by the library personnel. Quite often, librarians are busy with searching misplaced books which are left in wrong locations by library users. It is quite difficult and almost impractical to place back all books to their assigned locations daily. To overcome this, Radio Freq

Anticlone Gaussian Attack for Continuous Variable Epr Correlations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We investigate the security of a model based on continuous variable QKD with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations against Gaussian clone-anticlone attacks. We find that the eavesdropper distils more information using the individual Gaussian anticlone attack than the optimal Gaussian cloner. However, a secure key can still be generated for the trans

anti-Inflammatory Action of Components from Melastoma Malabathricum
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethnic folklore or empirical therapeutic uses of plant parts have often provided the early indication of the possibility of discovering some pharmacologically active substance from a plant. Melastoma malabathricum L. (Melastomaceae), locally known as sendudok putih, is a small shrub. Traditional medicinal uses include diarrhea, dysentery, ulcers, w

Enteral Nutrition in Intensive Care: 'tiger Tube'-for Small Bowel Feeding in Acute Pancreatitis. Case Report.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nutritional support is vital in improving the clinical outcomes of the critically ill patients. Almost all published guidelines regarding nutritional support in the critically ill recommend the use of enteral nutrition over parenteral nutrition. In acute pancreatitis, trial of enteral feeding should be given into the small bowel. The success rate o

Detecting Eve in Communication with continuous-Variable einstein-Podolsky-rosen Correlations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We study the validity of the entanglement parameter introduced in a recent publication by Guangqiang et al. Phys. Rev. A 73 012314 (2006)] for detecting Eve, the eavesdropper. We have found that Eve can be detected using this parameter only if Alice establishes a quantum correlation between the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. This quantum corre

The Nucleus of Islamic Religion and its Bearing Upon the Islamic Concept of Salvation and the Practice of Multiculturalism in Contemporary Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper discusses the core constituent of Islamic religion namely al-tawhid as the first level or principle of the religion and its role in defining or influencing the other layers or dimensions of Islamic religiosity. Its objectives are 1) to demonstrate an integrated Islamic approach in the study of religion and society/culture, and 2) to prov

The 'red-Ink Grants': the Malays and the Land
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

British policy was to preserve and protect the Malay race on the assumption that they, despite being the majority, are historically a disadvantaged race. In addition, they were in need of economic protection against the more aggressive immigrants. Therefore, with the declaration of independence in 1957, a new written constitution was formulated for

Use of Fungi for the Bioconversion of Rice Straw Into Cellulase Enzyme
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cellulase production was carried out by solid state bioconversion (SSB) method using rice straw, a lignocellulosic material and agricultural waste, as the substrate of three Trichoderma spp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium in lab-scale experiments. The results were compared to select the best fungi among them for the production of cellulase. Phaner
