Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Internet of Things (IoT) tends to be the next nd expects to deployed small co devices wherever and whenever, and thus such devices often are constrained in processor, memory, and energy. These devices known as sensor nodes which connected with each other to form a network of different nodes. As a matter of fact, routing the data in such environment

Improved Particle Swarm Optimization by Fast Annealing Algorithm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper proposes a hybrid particle swarm optimization with the fast-simulated annealing (PSO-FSA). The proposed algorithm is meant to solve high dimensional optimization problems based on two strategies, which are utilizing the particle swarm optimization to define the global search area and utilizing the fast-simulated annealing to refine the v

Chemical Components of Polymerase Chain Reaction in 18s Rrna for Detection of Cryptosporidium from River Water Samples
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The gene of 18S ribosomal RNA or 18S rRNA is the universal gene function as a general genetic marker for species identification of microorganisms including parasites. Cryptosporidium has distinct 18S rRNA genes along different species within the same genus. In this study, polymerase chain reaction or PCR was used to study chemical components of PCR

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization, and Detection of Pvl Encoding Gene in Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Strains Isolated from Patients Admitted to a Tertiary Hospital in Kuantan, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is globally a major public health threat. Resistance to methicillin originates from a modified protein (PBP2a) encoded by the mecA gene. The PVL gene as an important virulence factor increases the pathogenicity of MRSA. Epidemiology and characteristics of MRSA differ in different geographica

Phase Diagrams of the Potts Model on the Cayley Tree with Competing Binary Interactions Up to the Third nearest-Neighbour Generations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

. We are interested to investigate whether the presence of the third nearest-neighbour would give any significant effect on the generation of the phase diagrams. For this purpose, we analyze the phase diagrams of the Potts model with prolonged competing binary interactions J2 and J3 on the Cayley tree up to the third nearest-neighbour generations.
