Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) for injectable bone cement application has been developed in this study. The CPC was produced using a novel wet chemical precipitation method derived hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. The calcium and phosphorus precursors used to synthesize HA powder were calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 , and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH4

In this paper, an in-depth study on the designing of a compact 2x2 MIMO planar antenna array, that consists of 4 subarrays with each subarray having 4 rectangular patch elements with the main beam gain at boresight of 13.4 dB and with impedance bandwidth of 500 MHz at frequency of 28 GHz, is presented. The antenna array resonates at centre frequenc

This research attempts to examine alternative visions for the Palestine Question. Indeed for decades, the two-state solution based on the principle of partition has been presented as the most realistic and desirable solution to the Palestine Question. However, the reality on the ground has shown that partition is far from being applied and one stat

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main complication leading to morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a large amount of evidence to support the use of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) for the prevention of CVD. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and prescription quality of LLT am

Objective: Clinical attachments undertaken by pharmacy students in Malaysia are one of the important platforms in order to prepare future candidates for patient-centred pharmacy practice. The lack of data regarding the identification of Drug-related problems (DRPs) and the suggestion of relevant interventions by final year pharmacy students has dir

Indeed research has shown that vocabulary acquisition is one of the chal-lenges of a language learner; even more so for productive vocabulary. Thus this study intends to investigate the lexical richness of 2 groups of EFL learners. This was done through a content analysis of 139 essays of entry-level university students and 140 essays of third-year

This paper proposes an specific sand and dust storm fade estimation model. The proposed model is based on an empirical assessment of the impacts of the dust and sand storms on a terrestrial link operating at 21 GHz. The developed model is simple and reliable with minimum number of input parameters. Validation of the model with measurements at frequ

Research objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the lexical richness of pre-sessional students and that of graduating students (henceforth post-sessional students) of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).1A com parison of lexical richness in L2 w ritten productions E ngku H aliza E ngku Ibrahim A inon Jariah M uham ad

Background: High rates of psychological problems including depression among university students have been reported in various studies around the world. The objectives of this study were to explore the prevalence of depressive disorder, as well as the associated sociodemographic factors (gender, origin, school, and year of study) among health scienc
