Investigation of Glass Plate Failure Mechanism Subjected to Copper and Steel Projectile Impacts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A glass plate was subjected to impact by spherical copper and steel projectiles at low velocities. The glass failure features consisted of a central Hertzian cone made up of comminuted glass and a spider web like cracking pattern around the cone with circumferential and radial cracks. The objective of the investigation was to determine if the damag

Gelatin as an Ingredient in Food and Pharmaceutical Products: an Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Islam is one of thevarious religions on the face of this earth which has categorized the type of foods suitable for human consumption. Thus, the integral concept of Islam that governs the quality and sanctity of food is halalantayyaban i.e; lawful and pure.Gelatin, an animal by-product owing to its gelling property finds immense application in the

Modeling Large Deformation and Failure of Expanded Polystyrene Crushable Foam Using ls-Dyna
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the initial phase of the research work quasi-static compression tests were conducted on the expanded polystyrene (EPS) crushable foam for material characterisation at low strain rates (8.3x10-3~8.3x10-2 s-1) to obtain the stress strain curves. The resulting stress strain curves compared well with the ones found in the literature. Numerical analy

Production of Laccase by Resinicium Bicolor in Submerged Cultures: Application of the plackett-Burman Experimental Design to Screen Major Factors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The present work was aimed towards the evaluation of effects of the physical and chemical factors on laccase production by white rot fungus, Resinicium bicolor (ATCC 64897) under submerged condition in shake flask using Plackett-Burman design. R.bicolor potentially detoxifies ground tire rubber (GTR) and facilitates growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxid

Effects of water-Bath Stunning on the Death of Poultry and Myofiber Apoptosis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

According to the Islamic slaughtering guidelines, swift slaughtering is one of the criteria for good slaughter. In this study, stunning effectiveness in halal poultry meat production was analysed in response to the time needed for the chickens to become insensible upon neck cutting (Td) and the induction of myofiber apoptosis. Td was recorded using

Patient Perception, Actual Control and Kap of their Diabetic Management: a Comparison Between Patients Seen at Primary Care Clinic and Tertiary Hospital
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: To compare patients’ perception of their diabetic control, their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of their diabetic management, HbA1C and other metabolic parameters in patients seen at a primary care centre (PCC) and tertiary hospital (TH). Methods: This was a cross sectional study involving age and sex-matched 146 patients from

Encryption Method for Scada Security Enhancement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

With the growing demands of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in all over the world, the industries such as water, electric and gas are using real time infrastructures for communication between filed devices connected within "networks such as using Local Area Network (LAN). Wide Area Networks (WAN)" or/and over internet to fulfill the requir

Photoplethysmographic Based Heart Rate Variability for Different Physiological Conditions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper investigates the feasibility of using photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal for heart rate variability (HRV) using different physiological conditions. In this paper, we have analyzed four physiological conditions i.e.; sitting, standing, laying and jogging. The Easy Pulse sensor module was used to pass the signal sensed by the optical senso

Face Recognition Using illumination-Invariant Local Patches
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Illumination variation that span globally and locally across the facial surface is one of the most important aspect in designing a robust face recognition system. The illumination variations due to changes in lighting conditions could produce different shape of shading on the face thus deforming the facial features. The effect of these variations i

Modeling of Novel Zigbee/ieee802.15.4 Mac Protocol for Scada Low Voltage Smart Grid Distribution Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The loss of the integrity and/or availability of data has the potential to diversely affect power utility core operations. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is a computer system for collecting and analyzing data in almost real-time fashion for monitoring purposes. SCADA refers to the combination of telemetry and data acquisiti
