Proceeding to a Postgraduate Research Degree: Some Tips
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bangladeshi students generally think about embarking upon a structured, academic research project after completing their first degrees, honours and masters. Students with laudable academic credentials wish to do so in a foreign country, preferably in the West. However, when a Bangladeshi postgraduate research student goes to a western university to

Engine Noise: an Overview on Current Research Trends
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Engine noise is one of the most researched subjects in the past few years, with the new international regulations on noise levels and doses, automotive industries are coming under much scrutiny. Many sources of noise related to automotives are identified but the main one remains to be the engine. In this paper, we classify different types of noises

Purification and Characterization of a Bacterial Phytase Whose Properties Make it Exceptionally Useful as a Feed Supplement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A periplasmatic phytase from a bacterium isolated from Malaysian waste water was purified about 173-fold to apparent homogeneity with a recovery of 10% referred to the phytase activity in the crude extract. It behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 42 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited a single pH optimum at 4.5. Optimum temp

higher-Order Statistics and Neural Network Based multi-Classifier System for Gene Identification
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the use of higher order statistics and a neural network based multi-classifier system for gene and exon identification of a DNA sequence. Newly proposed higher order statistics features, combined with frequency domain analysis, are used to train three different neural networks. Classification results of the three individual neur

Development of Tool Life Prediction Model for Pcbn Inserts During the High Speed End Milling of Aisi H13 Hardened Tool Steel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the result of an experimental investigation on tool wear of PCBN tool insert during the high speed end milling of AISI H13 tool steel under dry cutting condition. Sufficient numbers of experiment were run based on the central composite design (CCD) concept of response surface methodology (RSM) in order to generate tool life data

A Signal Boosting Technique for Gene Prediction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the signal boosting technique for gene and exon identification of a DNA sequence. Newly proposed signal boosting technique is used to enhance the coding region and improve the likelihood of correctly identifying the coding region. This new method is compared with other genomic signal processing techniques, such as DFT, IIR anti-

An Efficient Public Key Based Security Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we propose a public key based security architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The basic architecture comprises of two schemes; a key handshaking scheme based on simple linear operations for fast computation and an identity based cryptosystem which does not require any certificate authority. Our analysis shows that, the com

The Trope of Home and the Representation of Muslim Women in Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and in Attia Hosain's Sunlight on a Broken Column
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The trope of home has received a perennial interest in both the writings of colonialist writers and in the works of those from colonised society. Whereas the colonialists are keen on expanding their “home” in foreign territories, the colonised remain culturally dislocated in their own homeland and engage in ideological debates to regain it. In

Balancing the Rights of the Coastal State in its Exclusive Economic Zone and Freedom of Navigation of Other States: an Analysis of the Practice of Asian Countries
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The UN Convention on the Law of the sea creates a delicate balance between the rights of the coastal State and those of other States in the EEZ. The present paper argues that although the balance created by the Convention is impressive, its application is not easy. As national interests are involved, state practice is not exactly in confirmity the

Artificial Intelligence Versus Human Intelligence in Anaesthesia: Who is Winning?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role especially in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The position of anaesthesiologists and their role in providing anaesthetic services initially was dominant. The AI ability to overtake the human’s capability in providing an accurate medical treatment may threaten the role of a doctor. The inte
