Digital Speech Interpolation Advantage of Statistical Time Division Multiplexer
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper discusses Digital Speech Interpolation (DSI) advantage of Statistical Time Division Multiplexer (STDM) for Random Packet Loss scenarios. In order to harness this advantage each source speech is compressed at 6.4 kbps, Voice Activity Detector (VAD) is used for each source, and packet loss mechanism is introduced to achieve maximum DSI adv

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Facebook is now the most popular social networking site among Muslim youth since it is a great way to catch up with old friends, to get information, and to interact with others. So, it is encouraged that Muslims who become Facebook users to join the site with good intention such as to strengthen relationships with family members and friends, to bui

Cold and Hot Region Detectability and Image Quality Enhancement in Tc99m Spect by Reduction of Scattered Gamma Photons Prior to Detection
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Presence of scattered gamma photons in SPECT projection data degrades the image quality and limits the accuracy in quantification of radiopharmaceutical distribution. Therefore, it is imperative to remove the scattered gamma photons from SPECT data. In this work, a material filter technique, which absorbs some fraction of scattered gamma photons be

Scheme of Obtaining ß-carotene Standard from Pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata) Flesh
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Characterization and quantification of carotenoids composition is complicated, costly and time-consuming. The accuracy and the reliability of the data depend solely on the standards and HPLC but a major constraint is acquiring and maintaining pure standards. Carotenoid standards are commercially available but they are expensive and are prone to iso

Design and Development of Acrylic Die for Producing Wax Pattern to Gabricate Hip Bone Joint
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present study to produce a typical hip joint, Investment casting has been selected as casting method since this process can give optimum properties of the product having complex geometry with biocompatible material. In order to perform this casting, a die or mould is needed to fabricate wax pattern, which will be used to make ceramic investm

Study on the Microstructure and Properties of fe-C-si and fe-C-al Cast Irons
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Two types of cast irons with Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Al. alloy systems were investigated in the present study. In order to modify the microstructure and properties of cast iron, Al was added to low silicon pig iron that is in Fe-C-Al (Sorel metal) alloy system. Its effect was then studied with comparing to normal Fe-C-Si alloy system. Both cast irons were

Wear Characteristics of fe-C-si and fe-C-al Cast Irons
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In order to study the wear properties of Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Al alloy systems, castings were produced in resin bonded sand mould of suitable design, which provides information regarding various thicknesses of the castings. Gray cast iron is an inexpensive and readily available material used for manufacturing of roller, roller shell, piston rings, cyli
