Production of Heterogeneous Catalyst for Biodiesel Synthesis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The waste food material namely crab shell, egg shell and fish bone is screened for biodiesel synthesis by tranesterification reaction to determine the source providing the highest biodiesel yield. The solid oxide materials were calcined at 900°C at 2-4hrs to convert CaCO3 to CaO species. Tranesesterification is carried out at 65°C for 4 hrs with

The trend of research in Social Network Sites have focused on privacy disclosure and its effect on motivation and security . Nevertheless, privacy disclosure needs further attention to address adolescence well being and positive behavior. This study seeks to investigate factors related to parental involvement and social influence on privacy disclos

A Hybrid Scheme for Wireless Physical Layer Security Based on Encryption and Channel pre-Compensation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a new hybrid scheme for physical layer security based on encryption and wireless channel pre-compensation is proposed. The security is provided by transforming the basic signal constellation into a higher order signal constellation with the help of conventional encryption method (symmetric key encryption) and then using channel knowl

Direct and Indirect Antimicrobial Effects of α-mangostin on Pathogenic Microorganisms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: To test direct and indirect antimicrobial properties of α-mangostin towards a number of bacteria and fungi. Methods: The experiment was carried out using broth microdilution and checkerboards methods. Activity of α-mangostin paired with an antibiotic was studied by calculating its fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC). Results: The

Study on the Effect of Window Opening on the Drag Characteristics of a Car
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, the effect of window opening on the drag characteristics of a car is investigated. This additional aerodynamic drag can considerably affect the performance of a car in terms of instability, noise and fuel consumption. Using a 3D car model, the effect of window opening on the drag characteristics was numerically studied using STAR-CCM

Leadme : an Educational Software for Composite Laminate Analysis and Design
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

LEADME (Laminate Analysis and Design Made Easy), an educational software useful for the analysis and design of laminated composite structure has been developed. The software encompasses both the micro and macro mechanics analysis of lamina and laminate. The highlight of this software is that, apart from usual laminate analysis, the software is capa

Brain & Heart from Computer Science Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Computer science and biology have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship for decades. However, these two dimensions are studied separately and rarely integrated. EEG and ECG have been very useful for capturing the signals of the brain and heart. In computer science, a prime challenge is to interpret these signals into meaningful data and to devel

The Effect of Body Mass Index (Bmi) on the Performance in Prayer by Muslims : Preliminary Report of the Study on Range of Motion of the Hip and Knee
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background and Objectives: Praying or solah, represent a paramount and fundamental activity of daily living in Muslim community. Muslims need to adopt several postures that require deep flexion of the knee and hip to perform this daily obligation. The intention of this study is to simultaneously obtain normative passive and functional range of flex

Religious Perspective of doctor-Patient Relationship Models in Complementing Uprising Social Phenomenal Demands
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The public has questioned many of the previously accepted medical treatments. One of the factors highlighted is the uprising of social demands influenced by religious-centred ideation. Even though medical practitioners are regarded as one of the noble professions in society, their professional opinions are started to be questioned. To complement th

Concurrent Involvement of Bone and Thyroid Gland. Report of Two Cases of Benign Spinal Lesion Mimicking Metastatic Spine Disease
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The vertebra is the most frequent location for skeletal metastases. Thyroid carcinoma is one of the commonest primary sites that metastasized to the bone. Metastasis to the thoracic vertebra is commoner compared to lumbar and cervical areas. Clinical diagnoses are difficult when adult patients present with concurrent involvement of th
