Antioxidant Activity of Pereskia Herb by Infrared Spectroscopy
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Pereskia bleo is a species of primitive cactus Pereskia that is distinguished by its green leaves. In the present study, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of P. bleo leaf extracts were subjected to multivariate analysis allowing for rapid prediction of antioxidant activity as well as identification of contributing functional groups.

Spatial Analyses in Price Models: Looking for Evidence from a Land Price Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is well-known that empirical models to estimate determinants of price are generally ad hoc in nature, not least because markets for different goods are affected by different contexts and factors. Even if the good is the same, data and measurement constraints often yield different model specifications (and hence, results) in different studies. Mo

Do Malay estate-Distribution Practices Contribute to Lower Land Values?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper describes how complex co-ownership issues arising from estate-distribution can lead to uneconomic farm sizes or sometimes prevent farming activities altogether (through land-use conversion or land abandonment). Muslims in Malaysia rely almost exclusively on Fara’id laws in which ownership of all the deceased’s assets, including land,

Assessment of Empirical Conversion Methods for Producing 1-min Integration Time Rainfall Rate in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents assessments of empirical conversion methods in obtaining cumulative distribution function of rainfall rate at 1-minute integration time. From collected measured data in Kuala Lumpur, cumulative distributions of rainfall rate at various integration times were compiled. Four conversion methods were selected in the assessment namel

The Influence of ante-Natal Phenytoin Therapy on Palatal Fusion in Rat Embryo
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Antiepileptic drug (phenytoin) is extensively used by pregnant women who have seizure disorders. It is reported to produce a variety of facial defects, and considered as an important cause of nongenetic cleft palate in their offspring. Objective: To investigate the influence of administrating phenytoin to pregnant rats on the process of

problem-Based Learning to Enhance Students’ Understanding and Motivation for Learning Mechanics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This action research study sets out to investigate whether Problem-Based Learning (PBL) would enhance the technical students’ level of conceptual understanding and motivation for learning the subject of mechanics. This action research study involved a single classroom from a technical college where the instructional intervention was implemented f

Assessment of itu-R Conversion Method for 1-minute Integration Time of Precipitation Intensity in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study has been embarked with the aim to identify the best formulation capable of obtaining statistics of precipitation intensity at 1 - minute integration time from longer integration times. Few years back, t he ITU - R has proposed a conversio n method claimed to be capable of generating precipitation intensity at 1 - minute integration time . M

Assessment of itu-R Predictions for ku-Band Rain Attenuation in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents findings on the assessments carried out pertaining to ITU-R’s predicted rain attenuations. The predictions are put against measurements acquired from a campaign in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The investigation tasks involve generation of annual cumulative distributions using assorted ITU-R recommendations as well as from measured

Innovation in Education Through Lesson Study: Incorporating Disaster Risk Reduction in Mathematics Lesson to Inculcate Tsunami Awareness
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Measures for disaster risk reduction (DRR) can be integrated into a nation’s education system in order to help build long term resilience of the people and education system. Consequently, children can be taught about natural disasters so that they are aware of calamities and be reminded of Allah’s greatness. Being exposed to emergency preparedn

Optimization of Media Composition for α-amylase Production in Liquid State Fermentation of Bitter Cassava by Aspergillus Niger
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A number of media components influencing a-amylase production by Aspergillus niger O103A were studied using local bitter variety of cassava (Manihotes cuelenta) as the main substrate. The media components (cassava, maltose, glucose, yeast extract, urea, NH4NO3, KH2PO4, CaCl2, MgSO4.7H2O, NaCl, and FeSO4.7H2O) were analyzed using Plackett?Burman des
