The Vascular Protective Effects of Polyphenols.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Polyphenols have been proven, both in animal and human studies to be beneficial as vascular protective agents. The effect is claimed to be related to the compound antioxidative properties. This effectively blunts the vasoconstriction process, reported to be due to the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species, as observed in many in vitro stu

Design, Simulation and Fabrication of Piezoelectric Micro Generators for Aero Acoustic Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Energy harvesters based on acoustic vibration sources can generate electrical power through piezoelectric transduction. Significant miniaturization of electro mechanical devices using MEMS fabrication technology has encouraged the creation of portable, miniature energy harvesters. A niche application is aero acoustics, where wasted, high dB and hig

Performance Evaluation of MEMS Piezoelectric Inertial Energy Generator
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Vibration based inertial energy generators have become significantly popular due to the growing demand of wireless sensor networks which need miniature, portable, long lasting and easily recharged sources of power. Usage of hazardous batteries is an unacceptable solution to power up the densely populated nodes due to their bulky sizes and high batt
