Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial plastic laminating paper wrapping in preventing microbiological contamination of ready to eat (RTE) street burgers. Methods: About 21 samples of RTE burgers, which were prepared and wrapped using plastic laminating papers were purchased to determine their micr

Carbon Precursor Analysis for Catalytic Growth of Carbon Nanotube in Flame Synthesis Based on Semi‐empirical Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Although flame synthesis promises economic benefit and rapid synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT), the lack of control and understanding of the effects of flame parameters (e.g., temperature and precursor composition) impose some challenges in modelling and identifying CNT growth region for obtaining better throughput. The present study presents an i

The Association of Serum Adipokines and Vitamin D Level in Newly Diagnosed Women with Breast Cancer: a case-Control Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study was aimed to investigate the association of serum adipokines and vitamin D level with the risk of breast cancer. A case-control study was conducted on 78 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and 86 healthy women, aged 21 to 59 years. Level of serum HMW adiponectin, visfatin, vitamin D and anthropometric parameters were determined. Me

Review—electroreduction of Peroxodisulfate: a Review of a Complicated Reaction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The electroreduction of peroxodisulfate has been studied on various electrode materials for decades. However, the reduction of peroxodisulfate is not fully understood to date. Many research groups have searched for an electrode material that exhibits a diffusion-controlled response in the electroreduction of peroxodisulfate. However, the voltammetr

A Muslim’s Reflections on Saddharamapundariksutra—the Lotus Sutra
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper seeks to introduce the general reader to the history of Muslim–Buddhist dialogue, reviewing early instances of interreligious conversation between the two traditions, while also offering a speculative reflection on the Lotus Sutra from an Islamic perspective and highlighting some points of contact between the spirituality of this Buddh

User Engagement with Social Media, Implication on the Library Usage: a Case of Selected Public and Academic Libraries in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The mainstream use of social media has impacted the library as it has been identified to be an efficient platform for libraries to foster networking and enhance engagement with their user community. The unique characteristics of social media with ‘high tech’, ‘interactive’ blend with the ‘human touch’ give a valuable means for libraries

Polypill with or Without Aspirin in Persons Without Cardiovascular Disease
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

BACKGROUND A polypill comprising statins, multiple blood-pressure–lowering drugs, and aspirin has been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS Using a 2-by-2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned participants without cardiovascular disease who had an elevated INTERHEART Risk Score to receive a polypill (containing 40

A Review on the Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Coastal Sediment of Peninsular Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose – This study aims to examine the metal pollution in coastal sediment in the Peninsular Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – Approximately 141 published studies were screened from 1,285 documents and reviewed to determine the existing pollution status in the coastal areas of Peninsular Malaysia and the metals under review were Pb, Hg,

Thematic Textual Hadith Classification: an Experiment in Rapidminer Using Support Vector Machine (Svm) and Naïve Bayes Algorithm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

There are many existing problems in Hadith studies trending in the study field. The issues are changeable from the digitalization of the Hadith data to an exact case study of estimation of narrators’ chain for a particular Hadith. However, in this paper, we are not concentrating on the such learning of estimating, confirming or authenticating a H

Effect of Semi Vertex Angle on Stability Derivatives for an Oscillating Cone for Constant Value of Specific Heat Ratio
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this work we estimate stiffness derivatives for an oscillating non-slender axi-symmetric cone in pitch at Mach number greater than five. Results indicate that there is continous decrease in the stiffness derivative with the rise in the semi vertex angle for all the Mach number. The variation in the stiffness derivative is only visible for Mach n
