Civilizational Islam is not a new religion, doctrine or sect. It is an idea which aims to draw the attention of the Malaysians and the world at the large to the correct understanding of the religion of Islam. In this paper the author studies two of ten principles of civilizational Islam. The paper argues that for the project to succeed it must be p

Our preliminary results indicated that fibrin and poly(lactic co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) hybrid scaffold promoted early chondrogenesis of articular cartilage constructs in vitro. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo cartilaginous tissue formation by chondrocyte-seeded fibrin/PLGA hybrid scaffolds. PLGA scaffolds were soaked carefully, in cho

Background: Synthetic- and naturally derived- biodegradable polymers have been widely used to construct scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are bioresorbable and biocompatible, rendering them as a promising tool or clinical application. To minimize cells lost during the seeding procedure, we used the nat

A case control study was carried out to investigate associations between breast cancer risk, antioxidant status and oxidative stress among women in Klang Valley and Selangor. A total of 57 newly diagnosed cases aged 30 to 66 years old participated and were matched for age and ethnicity with 139 controls with no diagnosis of cancer or other chronic

In this work, based on a linear piezoelectric constitutive model, a three-dimensional finite element code using an eight-node brick element that includes the anisotropic and coupled field effects of piezoelectric actuators has been developed for the static shape control analysis of fibre reinforced composite laminates. The code was used to study vo

Muslim Computing Professionals are required by the general will of God to adhere to Islamic worldview; a concept that refers to a comprehensive apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint or a personal philosophy of life, it involves creed, culture, attitude and way of thinking. The Islamic worldview as a philosophy for computin

Natural to natural DNA.sequencing has achieved high degree of accuracies in existing visualization and alignment techniques. This Dementia Brain research on animals used motif matching techniques in the natural to computer generated artificial DNA sequencing. The natural DNA sequence of dementia brain in a rat was extracted and visualized at the DN

A multi-wavelength Brillouin/erbium-doped fiber laser (BEFL) operating in the 1573 nm region is proposed and demonstrated. The system employs both linear and nonlinear gain from a bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) approximately 215 cm long and a single mode fiber (SMF) of various lengths to generate an optical comb with a spacing of approxi

Previously, we have proven that fibrin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds facilitate cell proliferation, matrix production and early chondrogenesis of rabbit articular chondrocytes in in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this study, we evaluated the potential of fibrin/PLGA scaffold for intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue engineering u

The revelation of the first surah of the Holy Quran delivered by Malaikat Jibril A.S. to the Prophet S.A.W. is concerning education. The significance, variety and benefit of education were mentioned directly and indirectly in many surahs. The readers of the Qur’an are frequently requested to use their senses to learn, study and understand truly t
