Weighted watson-Crick Automata
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

There are tremendous works in biotechnology especially in area of DNA molecules. The computer society is attempting to develop smaller computing devices through computational models which are based on the operations performed on the DNA molecules. A Watson-Crick automaton, a theoretical model for DNA based computation, has two reading heads, and wo

Comparison of Different Empirical Conversion Methods from 60-minute to 1-minute Integration Time in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents some preliminary assessments of the precipitation rate conversion methods from 60-min to 1-min integration time. The conversion methods used in this study are Moupfouma and Khairolanuar et al., and ITU-R P.837. Rainfall rate data of twelve-months duration from January to December 2009 were acquired from Malaysia Meteorological D

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It has been proven that proper landscape planning and designs with the sustainability concept and approach help to create a conducive and responsive environment of housing development. This paper presents a brief of conceptual view on the important aspects of landscape design on housing development in urban areas. The review is based on the theoret

The Potential of Ornamental Plant, Sansevieria Trifasciata to Inhibit the Growth of Harmful Algal Bloom Species
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia is one of the countries that have been affected by harmful algal bloom (HAB); a phenomena that caused human health problems such as seafood poisoning and loss to aquaculture industries. In Peninsular Malaysia, several HAB problems have been reported since 1991. Many studies have shown that compounds extracted from plants have a promising r

Environmental Information Usefulness to Stakeholders: Empirical Evidence from Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose – The present study aims to examine the effect of environmental information on fund managers’ investment and bank officers’ lending decisions. Specifically, it looks at the effect of qualitative and quantitative forms of environmental information to their decisions. Design/methodology/approach – Drawing from the normative pressure o

Do Fund Managers Perceive Environmental Information Useful? an Empirical Study from Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Pressure for companies to be accountable to stakeholders has encouraged companies to report information on employees, products and the environment. However, it costs companies time, energy and money. Consequently, such information should be of value to corporate preparers and stakeholders. Accordingly, the primary objective of the study is to exami

The Postprandial Rise in Plasma Cortisol in Men is Mediated by macronutrient-Specific Stimulation of Adrenal and extra-Adrenal Cortisol Production.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Context: Circadian variation is a fundamental characteristic of plasma glucocorticoids, with a postprandial rise in cortisol an important feature. The diurnal rhythm is presumed to reflect alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis activity; however, cortisol is produced not only by the adrenal glands but also by regeneration from cortison

Selectivity Filter Instability Dominates the Low Intrinsic Activity of the Twik-1 K2p K+ Channel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channels have many important physiological functions. However, the functional properties of the TWIK-1 (K2P1.1/KCNK1) K2P channel remain poorly characterized because heterologous expression of this ion channel yields only very low levels of functional activity. Several underlying reasons have been proposed, including TWIK-1

Development of Conductive Polymer Composites from Pla/tpu Blends Filled with Graphene Nanoplatelets
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) owns some good properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and high strength however it brittleness became the drawback for this polymer to be utilised in a broader fields. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has high strength and toughness with good biocompatibility which can improve the drawback owned by PLA. In thi
