Microfluidic Concentration Gradient for Toxicity Studies of Lung Carcinoma Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cancer is a serious global health problem, which resulted in 8.2 million deaths in 2012 alone. Amongst different types of cancer, lung cancer is the most lethal and contributes 19.4% of cancer deaths. Better disease-free cancer survival rates have been reported when surgery is followed by systemic chemotherapy. Efficient treatment can be achieved t

“e-Fatwā” a Comparative Analysis of Islamonline and Islam Q&a
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Sequel to scientific and technological evolutions, electronic fatwā i.e. e-fatwā has become a phenomenon among means of fatwā dissemination in the contemporary world. Arguably, it has become the easiest means of getting fatwā as a response to various life challenges, notwithstanding the geographical factor. Day by day, the number of websites de

The Role of Social Capital in Enhancing the Performance of the Local Government in the Maldives
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This book investigates the relationship between social capital components, (trust, networks of civic engagement, norms of reciprocity and cooperation) with the performance of the local government of Maldives. It also sheds some light on the formation, development and the functions of the local government. In order to address the research questions,

Search for Direct Production of Supersymmetric Partners of the Top Quark in the all-Jets Final State in Proton-proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A search for direct production of top squark pairs in events with jets and large transverse momentum imbalance is presented. The data are based on proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector in 2016 at the CERN LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 . The search considers a

Search for a Heavy Resonance Decaying to a Top Quark and a vector-Like Top Quark at √s=13 Tev
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A search is presented for massive spin-1 Z0 resonances decaying to a top quark and a heavy vector-like top quark partner T. The search is based on a 2.6 fb−1 sample of proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The analysis is optimized for final states in which the T quark decays to a W boson and a bottom quar

Search for a Light Pseudoscalar Higgs Boson Produced in Association with Bottom Quarks in Pp Collisions at √s=8 Tev
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson (A) produced in association with bottom quarks and decaying into a muon pair is reported. The search uses 19.7 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment. No signal is observed in the dimuon mass range from 25 to 60 GeV. Upper limits on the cr

A Central Bioactive Region of Ltbp-2 Stimulates the Expression of Tgf-β1 in Fibroblasts via Akt and P38 Signalling Pathways
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Latent transforming growth factor-β-1 binding protein-2 (LTBP-2) belongs to the LTBP-fibrillin superfamily of extracellular proteins. Unlike other LTBPs, LTBP-2 does not covalently bind transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) but appears to be implicated in the regulation of TGF-β1 bioactivity, although the mechanisms are largely unknown. In exp

Influence of Volatile Fatty Acid Concentration on Biogas Production in Synthropic Anaerobic Digestion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Biogas is one type of renewable energy that can be produced from substrates in the form of industrial waste. Biogas formation is a complex series of biochemical processes and involves many types of anaerobic micro-organisms. In an anaerobic digester, synthropic reactions are considered to be the process steps that limit the formation of this biogas

Online Fake News Detection Algorithm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Microblogging sites allowing disseminating distasteful content. This has become vigorous and nearly unstoppable now. Spreading online fake news has been identified as one of the major top concern of online abuse. Due to the difficulty in preventing and evaluating what does fake news contain prior to publishing it online, if an algorithm is known fo

Incremental Research Approach to Describing the Pharmacokinetics of Ciprofloxacin During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Significant interactions between drugs, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits and critical illness may affect the pharmacokinetic properties of antibiotics in critically ill patients receiving ECMO. Objective: To describe the pharmacokinetic properties of ciprofloxacin during ECMO by integrating pre-clinical findings (ie,
