Robust Image Watermarking Scheme by Discrete Wavelet Transform
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper proposes a robust digital image watermarking techniques by using discrete wavelet transform. The watermark is embedded in 2-level diagonal coefficient to achieve high performance in term of imperceptibility. The watermark is embedded by selecting a seed that generating pseudorandom noise sequence. Then the Watermark is extracted back by

Micropatterning Polypyrrole Conducting Polymer by Pulsed Electrical Discharge
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Polypyrrole and other conducting polymers are of interest in actuators, sensors, energy storage devices and organic electronics. The patterning of these polymers can be challenging, particularly polypyrrole due to its insolubility. This paper reports the first micropatterning of polypyrrole using high-frequency pulses of extremely miniaturized elec

Comparison of Measured Rain Attenuation in the 10.982-ghz Band with Predictions and Sensitivity Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The campaign to collect rain attenuation data on terrestrial links had commenced in Malaysian tropical climates for almost two decades. The terrestrial data so far collected have been greatly utilized to derive useful statistics for various microwave applications, such as frequency scaling, rain rate conversion factor, 1-min rain rate contour maps,

tAwareness on the advantages of natural fibers stimulates the interest of researchers to use them asreinforcement in polymer composites for robust application. Therefore, investigation on optimizing theimpact property of durian skin fiber (DSF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites was carried outto determine the effect of DSF content, fiber siz

Relative Growth of Harpiosquilla Raphidea (Fabricius, 1798) (Crustacea: Stomatopoda) Male and Female Populations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Morphometric analysis was carried out to find out changes in the growth pattern of male and female stomatopod, Harpiosquilla raphidea. Six morphometric relationships were examined on 105 males and 105 females, ranging in size from 103 to 207 mm and from 104 to 222 mm in total length, respectively. In both the sexes, the relative growth of carapace

Piracy has long been a serious threat to humankind from the time when people started navigation at seas and it still occurs in various parts of the world despite the efforts being made by the international community. The highest number of attacks occurred as recent as in 2011 ever since IMO started preparing annual report from 1984. Definition of p

The Reading of Legal Cases by Law Undergraduates: Some Problems and Suggestions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The ability to read legal cases is one of the most essential skills for law students aiming for success in their discipline. It is particularly fundamental since case law is one of the main sources of law. Christensen (2006) in her research entitled “Legal Reading and Success in Law School: An Empirical Study” shows that students who are able t
