Composition and Thermal Analysis of Lard Stearin and Lard Olein
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Lard being an edible fat could be used in different forms in food systems. In this study, composition and thermal analysis of lard stearin (LS) and lard olein (LO) were undertaken to determine some common parameters which would enable their detection in food. A sample of native lard was partitioned into LS and LO using acetone as solvent and the fr

Synthesis of Au/al2o3 Nanocatalyst and its Application in the Reduction of p-Nitrophenol
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Gold (Au) nanoparticles supported on alumina (Al2O3) were prepared at several pH levels via the deposition- precipitation (DP) method. The effects of pH at below and above the isoelectric point (IEP) of Al2O3 as well as the pH adjustment before and after the addition of the support into the gold chloride solution were investigated. The results reve

Effect of Varietal Differences on Composition and Thermal Behavior of Avocado Oil
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study was carried out to compare the characteristics of oils from three Malaysian avocado (Persea americana) cultivars with those of the oil from Australian Hass avocado variety. Oil samples extracted from matured-avocado fruits were assessed for basic physico-chemical parameters, fatty acid and triacylglycerol (TAG) compositions, and melting and

Language Maintance and the Preservation of Ethanic Identity: a Case of Malay Muslims in Southern Thailand
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Language is known to have an effect on ethnic identity in that language retention of a mother tongue acts as a stronger connector to the ethnic community for such persons as compared to those who do not retain the language. For cultural groups who hold knowledge of ethnic language as a core value, language shift can lead to a lose of ethnic identit

Ontogenetic Eye Development and Related Behavioural Changes in Larvae and Juveniles of Barramundi Lates Calcarifer (Bloch)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Larvae and juveniles of barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch) were examined for the development of the retina, occurrence of the retinomotor response and retinal tapetum and change in eye size with age in days. The barramundi hatched with unpigmented non-functional eyes in which retinal cells had not yet differentiated into the various elements. Soon

Decision Support of Facilities Management Practice in High Rise Buildings
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is vital to prioritize on developing facilities management (FM) decision support in operation and maintenance of high rise buildings in order to make sure building performance and building condition are excellent all the time. In Malaysia, there are various obstacles that FM is facing in managing all maintenance activities in high rise building.

Performance Improvement of Improved Practical Control Method for two-Mass Ptp Positioning Systems in the Presence of Actuator Saturation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The positioning systems generally need a good controller to achieve a fast response, high accuracy and robustness. In addition, ease and simplicity of controller design structure are very important for practical applications. For satisfying these requirements, NCTF controller has been proposed as a practical control method for two-mass rotary PTP p

Building Maintenance Policy for Office High Rise Buildings in Malaysia: a Preliminary Study in Klang Valley
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Large high rise building is relatively complicated in maintenance. The value of buildings depends on the quality, safety and service of the maintenance policy standard provided and implemented in them. Building maintenance policy standard involves obtaining maximum benefit from the investment made on the maintenance activities. This paper presents

Building Maintenance Policy Issues in High Rise Commercial Buildings
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

At present, high rise commercial building is quite complex in implementing a building maintenance policy. The quality, safety and service are the criteria of the building maintenance policy which should be provided and implemented in the high rise commercial buildings in order to sustain their value and economics. It also can benefit to the investm
