The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has reduced the potential of gentamicin, which is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic. Complexation of gentamicin with metal ions is expected to facilitate the antibiotic discovery process and would overcome the antimicrobial resistance. Five metal complexes, Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II

Menjelang suku pertama tahun 2010, dianggarkan sejumlah lebih 250 ribu graduan dapat dilahirkan sama ada dari Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) ataupun Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam Swasta (IPTS). Mereka hadir di persada masyarakat sebagai golongan ilmuwan dan cendekiawan yang akan membantu mencorakkan kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara d

‘Management of Infertile Couple Workshop’ was held on the 30th April 2010 at Level 4, Medicine Building, IIUM Indera Mahkota Campus. The workshop was fully sponsored by Merck Serono. There were 26 participants: clinicians (21), nurses (3) and radiographers (2) from government and private hospitals or clinics around East Coast of Malaysia. The o

Reviews of melioidosis cases were conducted throughout the state of Pahang, Malaysia, from 2000 to 2003 and 2005 to 2006, found that there were high annual incidences (6.0 to 6.1 per 100 000 population) and mortality rates (44% to 54%) among adult melioidosis patients compared to other endemic areas where mortalities were between 19 to 39%. Of the

Objective : To analyze the ART outcome and factors associated with successful ART treatment for infertile couples in a newly set up IIUM fertility centre. Method : An observational prospective study conducted at IIUM fertility centre, Kuantan from 15th June until 31st Dec 2009. Outcome measures include clinical pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy rat

Trafficking in person is a dilemma common to almost all countries in the world. East and south Asian countries are mostly encountering the offenses relating to human trafficking. This paper mainly investigates the protections for the victims of trafficking in person under the Anti-Trafficking in Person and Anti-Smuggling of Migration Act, 2007 of M

We unify all known iterative methods by introducing a new explicit iterative scheme for approximation of common fixed points of finite families of total asymptotically I-nonexpansive mappings. Note that such a scheme contains a particular case of the method introduced by �C. E. Chidume and E. U. Ofoedu, 2009�. We construct examples of total asy

Brain signals have been analysed to understand the affective state of different cognitive and mental conditions. For example, through the analysis, we can visualize the changes of emotion while driving, identify an autistic kid, understand the conditions that stimulate attention while studying, and many more, because emotion has a strong impact on

In this study, we investigated the feeding behavior of the brown-marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus with light intensities ranging over eight orders of magnitude from 0 – 1000 lx to estimate the optimum light intensity for larval rearing. Artemia ingestion rates of E. fuscoguttatus of 36 days and 42 days old larvae were measured in feedin

In the present paper we investigate the L_1 -weak ergodicity of nonhomogeneous discrete Markov processes with general state spaces. Note that the L_1 -weak ergodicity is weaker than well-known weak ergodicity. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such In this processes to satisfy the L_1 -weak ergodicity.Proceedings of the 2nd Intern
