Energy Efficient Lighter Weight Aluminium Matrix Composite Automotive Brake Motor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

With 75 percent of fuel consumption relating directly to vehicle weight, potential weight reductions that can result in improved performance ratio and reduce CO2 emissions stimulate the application of lightweight materials. The substitution of aluminium matrix composite (AMC) for structural component of brake rotor is quite effective in lightening,

Conceptual Design of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite Brake Rotor System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Composite materials have become a popular material substitution for automotive, sports, medical, aerospace and other engineering fields due to their light-weight, high strength and/or stiffness of fibres. In this paper, a conceptual design approach has been presented to develop aluminium metal matrix composite (AMC) automotive brake rotor system. A

Stages of Development in Arabic Philosophical Nomenclature: Emergence, Progression and Stability
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The study of the creation of a technical language within an existing natural language reveals to us both the internal and external dynamics of this complex phenomenon. The history of Arabic lexical definitions of different disciplines in the historical Islamic civilization provides us with a wealth of information on how these processes take place a

p-Tefb Goes Viral
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which comprises cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) kinase and cyclin T subunits, is an essential kinase complex in human cells. Phosphorylation of the negative elongation factors by P-TEFb is required for productive elongation of transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II).

blood-Pressure and Cholesterol Lowering in Persons Without Cardiovascular Disease
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Elevated blood pressure and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lowering both should reduce the risk of cardiovascular events substantially. In a trial with 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned 12,705 participants at intermediate risk who did not have cardiovascular disease to ros

Development of Integrated Curriculum and Teaching Materials for Science/engineering Courses
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The research is an outcome of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held on 18-19 November 2014 on the effect of curriculum and teaching materials on the grounding of Islamic foundations into science/engineering education system and how to invest and further develop the integration of Revelation into science/engineering courses. The FGD involved active

Serpentine Microfluidic Structures for Concentration Rradient Generators
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents microfluidic concentration gradient generator having tree-like structures with implementation of laminar flow concept and small-scale mixing through diffusion inside its microchannel. The microchannels aim for constant flow rate at each outlet and is achieved by optimizing the channel lengths. The generation of concentration gra

Sustainable Manufacturing Framework from Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Islam is a complete way of life and offers holistic and comprehensive solutions to the human life. Manufacturing is one of the fields in which the voice of Islam is hardly heard. The efforts to relate and integrate manufacturing practices with Islamic principles and to eventually create a holistic solution is still lacking. This study is an attempt

Place Attachment in Relation to Urban Street Vitality
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Preliminary studies have highlighted on the importance of the street as public space that provide setting for activities and amenities allowing people to do their activities. However, roles of urban street as public space have weakened due to rapid growth development. It is more focused on the transportation compared to the people, making people fe

Tribological Study of A1 Based Natural Fibre Reinforced Composite Brake Pad Materials
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tribological behavior of Al–based natural fiber reinforced composites (NFC) brake pad materials was studied using CHASE Dynamometer machine in accordance with Society of Automotive Engineer standard procedure SAE J661. In this study, the NFC sample with a size of 25 mm x 25 mm x 6 mm was fabricated using powder metallurgy route for friction and w
