Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships: International Cooperation in High Risk Areas
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships have sharply increased in the last decade of the 20th Century and the early 21st Century. The high rates of such incidences occur due to States which suffer from political uncertainty or lack of effective enforcement power in their respective maritime jurisdictions. The situation in Somalia reflec

A New Hope to Control Foodborne Diseases and Pollution: Potential Antimicrobial Activity of Banana (Musa Paradisiaca) Peels Against Food Borne Pathogenic Microbes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In food industries, different kinds of antimicrobial agents are used during food processing in order to prevent and controlling diseases, enhance the growth and also to increase the production efficiency. However, their persistent use leads to the emergence of resistant in microorganism. Thus, alternative strategies are sought by using unutilized a

Potential Hypocholesterolemic and Health Benefitsof Baccaurea Angulata Fruit in Hypercholesterolemic Rabbits
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: The build-up of cholesterol within the lining of the vascular wall alters vascular structure and function thus interfering with endothelial function and leading to plaques, lesions, occlusion, and embolism. Thus, a considerable effort has been made towards evaluating the impact and mechanisms of cholesterol-lowering therapies and inte

Potential Antimicrobial Activity of Banana (Musa Paradisiaca) Peels Against Food Borne Pathogenic Microbes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Musa paradisiaca L. (banana) peels are usually treated as wastes and are discarded during the processing and are responsible for increased pollution. Hence, this study was designed to explore the antimicrobial potential of peels extracts to generate safe and cheap antimicrobials as well as to address issues related to pollution due to such wastes.

Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer and Nanofluid Flow in a Triangular Duct with Vortex Generator: two-Phase Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Laminar forced convection heat transfer and nano-fluids flow in an equilateral triangular channel using a delta-winglet pair of vortex generators is numerically studied. Three nanofluids, namely; Al2O3, CuO, and SiO2 nano-particles suspended in an ethylene glycol base fluid are examined. A two-phase mixture model is considered to simulate the gover

Prosecution of Pirates Under International Law: in Limbo
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Piracy has long posed a threat to the safety of maritime navigation and thus it is extremely essential to provide efficient deterrence through proper prosecution of the offenders. As far as international law is concerned, perpetrators of piracy are prosecuted under the domestic laws and before the domestic courts of State Parties. The piracy regime

Proteomic Characterization and Comparison of Malaysian Bungarus Candidus and Bungarus Fasciatus Venoms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Kraits (Bungarus spp.) are highly venomous elapids that are only found in Asia. In the current study, 103 and 86 different proteins were identified from Bungarus candidus and Bungarus fasciatus venoms, respectively. These proteins were classified into 18 different venom protein families. Both venoms were found to contain a high percentage of three

The Success Factors in Government Information Sharing (Gis) - Empirical Findings from the Malaysian’s Natural Disaster Management Context
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Governments around the world are turning to information sharing and collaboration in an interactive process to act on issues such as natural disasters. This demand for a comprehensive disaster management (DM) program covering a wide range of disciplines, sectors and organizations, calling for diverse and expanded forms of collaboration can be far m

Isolation and Characterization of α-elapitoxin-Bf1b, a Postsynaptic Neurotoxin from Malaysian Bungarus Fasciatus Venom
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bungarus fasciatus is one of three species of krait found in Malaysia. Envenoming by B. fasciatus results in neurotoxicity due to the presence of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins. Antivenom, either monovalent or polyvalent, is the treatment of choice in systemically envenomed patients. In this study, we have isolated a postsynaptic neurotox
