Controlled Release of Lysozyme from double-Walled Poly(lactide-Co-glycolide) (Plga) Microspheres
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Double-walled microspheres based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) are potential delivery systems for reducing a very high initial burst release of encapsulated protein and peptide drugs. In this study, double-walled microspheres made of glucose core, hydroxyl-terminated poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (Glu-PLGA), and carboxyl-terminated PLGA were fa

A Porous medium-Chain-length Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates)/hydroxyapatite Composite as Scaffold for Bone Tissue Engineering
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are hydrophobic biopolymers with huge potential for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and biodegradability. A porous composite scaffold made of mediumchain- length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (mcl-PHA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) was fabricated using particulate leaching tec

A real-Time Integrated Fire Detection and Alarm (Fda) System for Network Based Building Automation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: An integrated Fire Detection and Alarm (FDA) systems with building automation was studied, to reduce cost and improve their reliability by preventing false alarm, signal drop and network breakdown. This work proposes an improved framework for FDA system to ensure a robust, intelligent network of FDA control panels in real-time. Methods/

Functionalization of medium-Chain-length Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) as Amphiphilic Material by Graft Copolymerization with Glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate Diacrylate and its Mechanism
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate (GDD) was graft copolymerized onto poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate-co-3- hydroxyhexanoate) P(3HO-co-3HHX) to render the latter more hydrophilic. Grafting of P(3HO-co-3HHX) backbone was performed using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator in homogenous acetone solution. The graft copolymer of P(3HO-co-3HHX)-g-GDD

network-Based real-Time Integrated Fire Detection and Alarm (Fda) System with Building Automation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fire alarm systems have become increasingly an important lifesaving technology in many aspects, such as applications to detect, monitor and control any fire hazard. A large sum of money is being spent annually to install and maintain the fire alarm systems in buildings to protect property and lives from the unexpected spread of fire. Several method

socio-Political Role of Adat Perpatih in Negeri Sembilan During British Period
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Adat Perpatih is one distinctive feature that differentiates Negeri Sembilan from other Malay states in Malaysia which practise Adat Temenggung. Among the prominent values of the customary law derived from a Minangkabau law, Adat Tuah Disakato is matrilineal system, clanship and democracy. Due to lack of study done so far on Adat Perpatih, the book

The Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement of 1992, which is a part of the WTO legal regime, in order to ensure augment international trade in GMOs, provides for ensuring their safety so that they could be acceptable in international market, i.e. it prescribes for a kind of precautionary principle, which is supposed to be adhered to by the WTO Member

Corporate Tax (Ct)rate and Ct Revenue in Malaysia – Laffer Curve: an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (Ardl) Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The policy of gradual reduction in the corporate tax rate in Malaysia, which commenced since 1988 and continued till today, has become a cause for concern, as the benefits of such reduction have not been established at least empirically. The present study thus investigates the impact of the reduction of the corporate tax rate on the corporate tax r
