The Mode of Antimicrobial Action of Cinnamomum Burmannii’s Essential Oil & Cinnamaldehyde
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The incidence of antibiotic resistance and its side effect have urged scientist to search for new antimicrobial substances. Cinnamons are rich in essential oils which mainly consist of cinnamaldehyde as its bioactive compounds. The present study was designed to postulate the mode of antimicrobial actions of both essential oil and cinnamaldehyde aga

Application of the Concept of Beneficial Ownership in Sukūk Structures: 105 an Islamic Legal Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Asset ownership is an important aspect of ṣukūk structuring and issuance. However, a recurring and contentious issue regarding the underlying ṣukūk asset is the actual nature of its ownership and the corresponding legal implications for ṣukūk holders and other parties in the ṣukūk transaction. Many ṣukūk are based solely on beneficia

A New Broad Specificity Alkaline Metalloprotease from a Pseudomonas SP. Isolated from Refrigerated Milk: Role of Calcium in Improving Enzyme Productivity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Metalloproteases represent the largest fraction of the global enzyme market. For biotechnological purposes 31 the accumulation of product (i.e. productivity) provides the best measure of assessing enzyme performance 32 because it takes into account the interplay between activity, stability, activation and inhibition. Studies 33 assessing the produc

Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in the Islamic Finance Industry in Malaysia: Towards a Legal Framework
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The recent ground breaking reforms in the legal and regulatory framework for Islamic banking and finance in Malaysia usher in a new phase in the modern history of this hitherto niche market.

Nondestructive Evaluation of Welded Joints Using Digital Image Correlation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper demonstrates a novel approach in which the digital image correlation technique is used as a nondestructive testing tool for the inspection of welded joints. In this approach, the joint is loaded with the maximum load that it is expected to encounter during actual operation (i.e., the design load) and two images are recorded, one before a

Preliminary Analysis of Dust Storm Effects on Microwave Links Measured in Khartoum
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A field study on dust storm effect on Microwave links in arid area covering a wide range of radio frequency was conducted for seven months in Khartoum, Sudan. The study involves computerized monitoring of Transmitted and Received signal levels of (TRSL) of six Microwave links operating at Ku (14GHz) and Ka (21GHz) bands as well as an automatic weat

Value Engineering in Developing Countries
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Conservation in Civil Engineering Construction is a familiar phenomenon, so most of the Civil Engineers prefer to reduce the unnecessary cost whenever possible without affecting the system. To achieve this, value engineering is the most economical and penetrating tool. Value engineering is a philosophy implemented by the use of a specific set of te

Increase Thermal Comfort by Integrating Elt at Building Foundation: an Alternative Recycling Way in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Today, when people think of the environmental impacts of ELTs (end-of-life tyres), they mostly focus on the management of tyres at the end of their useful lives. Globally, an estimated one billion tyres reach the end of their useful lives every year. It is observed from literature that about 4 billion ELTs are currently in landfills and stockpiles

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is generally agreed that many factors contribute to one’s reading comprehension and there is consensus that vocabulary size one of the main factors. This study explores the relationship between second language learners’ vocabulary size and their reading comprehension scores. 130 Malay pre-university students of a public university participat

Finite Element Modeling of Clinching Process for Joining Dissimilar Materials
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Clinching is one of the important new joining techniques, in which two plate metal parts are locally plastically deformed by mechanical interlock. Clinching is a mechanical joining method by using simple tools that consist of a punch, a die, and a blank-holder. The shapes of these tools are the most important parameters that control the final geome
