Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The demand for micro-parts is expected to grow and micro-machining has been shown to be a viable manufacturing process to produce these products. These micro-products may be produced from hard-to-machine materials such as superalloys under little or no metal cutting fluids to reduce machining cost or drawbacks associated with health and environment

Comparison of Composition, Thermal Behaviour and Polymorphism of Pink Guava (Psidium Guajava) Seed oil-Palm Stearin Blends and Lard
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study was carried out to compare composition, thermal behavior, and polymorphic forms of palm stearin-pink guava seed oil blends with those of lard (LD). Four blends were prepared by mixing pink guava seed oil (PGO) with and palm stearin (PS) in different ratios: PGO-1, 40:60; PGO-2, 45:55; PGO-3, 50:50; PGO-4; 55:45. The blends and lard were com

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The dopamine hypothesis has earlier dominated the theories for the development of schizophrenia based on the early pharmacologic evidence. The antipsychotic drugs, among others, is thought to interfere with the function of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) resulting in clinical improvement. Accumulating evidence suggest the role of epig
