This paper aims at exploring, discussing and analyzing some major issues in teaching creative thinking skills (CTS) based on IIUM experience.1 These issues are challenges encountering trainers and lectures in teaching (CTS), strategies to overcome these challenges, and future implications proposed to enhance the process. It is well recognized world

In this study a core crush criterion is proposed to determine the residual strength of impacted sandwich structures. The core of the sandwich is made of a Nomex Honeycomb core and the faces are laminated and remain thin. The mechanism of failure of this kind of structure under post-impact compressive loading is due to interaction between three mech

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) is a new emerging nondestructive testing (NDT) technique using a broadband pulse excitation with rich frequency information and has wide application potentials. This technique mainly uses feature points and response signal shapes for defect detection and characterization, including peak point, frequency analysis, and stati

A new reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard Homotopy-Perturbation Method (HPM) is presented. The HPM is treated,for the first time, as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals (i.e., time step) for finding accurate approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear systems of ODEs. Numerical comparisons between the multistage Homotopy

In this Letter, the problem of determining the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with power-law temperature-dependent surface heat flux is revisited. The solution of the corresponding nonlinear boundary-value problem (BVP) based on the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) presented earlier is corrected and extended.Physics Letter

من المعلوم للمحققين من أهل العلم، أن البحث عن المبادئ العامة الناظمة لنصوص الشريعة في أصولها وفصولها، والسعيَ إلى الكشف عن المقاصد الكلية المنوطُ تحقيقُها بالأحكام الشرعية في جزئياتها وفروع�

Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and fac‑ tors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-

Mainstream interest based financial system marginalized many Muslims as the system is in conflict with the principles of sharīʿah (Islamic law). Islāmic banking and finance (IBF) institutions aimed at promoting Islāmic norms of economic behavior, and ultimately to realize the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah have developed and offer sharīʿah complia

Analogy (Qiyas) has been considered as the fourth juristic evidence after al-Quran, al-Sunnah and al-Ijma’ in the process of reasoning among scholars. This indicates that the Analogy is principally ranked after these three evidences and never surpass them. But those who are studying the scholars’ writings find the contrary, as the analogy might

Introduction: Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are at increased risk for developing diabetic ocular complications. Materials and Methods: A systematic approach was applied to find the relevant topic regarding the said issue. This literature review aimed to determine the system of eye screening, reasons for seeking eye screening and their tre
