Advances in Prokaryote Classification from Microscopic Images
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Great knowledge and experience on microbiology are required for accurate bacteria identification. Automation of bacteria identification is required because there might be a shortage of skilled microbiologists and clinicians at a time of great need. We propose an automatic bacteria identification framework that can classify three famous classes of b

Visceral Adiposity Index in Older Adults:associations with Physical Functions and Cardiometabolic Risk
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Studies have shown that visceral adiposity index (VAI) reflects metabolic disturbances and cardiometabolic risk, both of which are associated with lower physical functions. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of VAI with physical functions (i.e. cardiorespiratory fitness, balance, grip strength) and cardiometabolic parameters in older adu

A Light Material for Wind Turbine Blades
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nowadays, people have built mega-watt scales of wind turbines to generate electricity from wind energy. These big scales of wind turbine blade need lighter materials in order to optimize the generation of electricity. Due to this issue, purpose of this paper is to find a light material which is suitable to be used in making wind turbine blades. The

Effect of Temperature on the Optical and Morphological Properties of Zinc Oxide Thin Films Prepared by RF Magnetron Sputtering
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This investigation deals with the effect of temperature on the optical and morphological properties of Zinc Oxide thin films prepared by radio-Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. In the present work, zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates from 50°C to 300°C by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The effec

General Ward Nurses’ Knowledge, Attitude and Skills on Risk of Deterioration Assessment Among Patients: a Comparison Between Hospitals in the East Coast Malaysia- a Proposal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Research has shown that patients in general hospital wards often show early signs and symptoms, when their condition is getting worse. It is thought that if hospital staffs namely the nurses could identify and manage these patients earlier then there would be less critically ill patients, deaths or ICU admissions.
