Fire Risk Assessment of Heritage Building – Perspectives of Regulatory Authority, Restorer and Building Stakeholder
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper examines the perspectives of different parties involved in fire management/risks/protection system of heritage building. A survey questionnaire was developed based on the identified criteria of fire risks for heritage buildings in Malaysia. The survey questionnaire was administered to Fire Rescue Department Malaysia (FRDM) personnel, con

Pcd Inserts in End Milling of Aluminum Silicon Carbide (Alsic)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Metal matrix composites (MMC) falls under the category of potential engineering materials applicable to the automotive and aerospace industries. This is become their excellent properties, such as the capability to resist elevated temperature, improved strength, higher stiffness, low density, improved wears and creep resistance and higher elastic mo

Genetic Improvement of Tomato by Targeted Control of Fruit Softening
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Controlling the rate of softening to extend shelf life was a key target for researchers engineering genetically modified (GM) tomatoes in the 1990s, but only modest improvements were achieved. Hybrids grown nowadays contain 'non-ripening mutations' that slow ripening and improve shelf life, but adversely affect flavor and color. We report s

Stages of Change and health-Related Quality of Life Among Employees of an Institution
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background Transtheoretical Model of change has been used successfully in promoting behaviour change. Objective To examine the relationships between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores with the stages of change of adequate physical activity and fruit and vegetables intake. Design This was a cross-sectional study conducted among employees

Establishing the Analytical Relationships for Mass and Volumetric Mass Fractions for Hybrid Buoyant Aircraft
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The current data bank of operational empty mass fraction of airships is based on available data obtained from existing and historical airships. For any design related activity, regression analysis on existing data bank of airships will not be able to provide the true picture of mass fractions of hybrid airships. This situation becomes more critical

Development of a Photoplethysmogram Based Heart Abnormality Detection Technique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, the development of Cardioid based graph photoplethysmogram heart abnormality detection technique is presented. PPG signals in this work were collected from an online public repository called MIMIC II Waveform Database, Version 3 Part 1 with sampling rate of 250 Hz. Each recording has one minute of PPG signals. Distinctive features we

Cardiac Irregularity Detection Using Photoplethysmogram Signal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, photoplethysmogram (PPG) based heart abnormality detection method was proposed. PPG signals utilized were obtained from MIMIC II Waveform Database, Version 3 Part 1 with sampling frequency of 250 Hz with the duration of 10 seconds each. The feature of the PPG signals were then extracted using MATLAB and the distances between successi

Estimation of Pitching Moment of a Hybrid Lifting Fuselage - Disguised as Hull of an Airship
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Munk-Multhop's method is usually used for estimation of pitching moment of fuselage of conventional aircraft but application of the same for hybrid lifting fuselage had not been earlier explored. CFD methods can also be applied for the said purpose but it is difficult to separate out the portion of the moment caused by the fuselage, since the w

Influence of Moisture Absorption on Impact Strength and Failure Behavior of Hybrid jute-Carbon/epoxy Composite
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Hybrid jute-carbon/ epoxy composites, fabricated by hand lay-up method with fiber volume fractions of 0.47, 0.58 and 0.68 were used to investigate water absorption behavior as a function of immersion time and fiber content. The effect of moisture content on impact strength and failure modes was also studied. Results show that the moisture absorptio

Heart Abnormality Detection Technique Using Ppg Signal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death in the world. Previous works have been performed to overcome this issue, however, a simple yet effective detection technique scarce. Thus, in this study, photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal which are easily acquired from the fingertip, low cost, and requires low power consumption, is used. These
