Effect of Fiber Length Variations on Mechanical and Physical Properties of Coir Fiber Reinforced cement-Albument Composites (Cfrcc)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper evaluated the effect of fiber length on the mechanical and physical performance of coir fiber reinforced cement-a1humen composites (CFRCC). Albumen protein was added as a hinder and the coir fibers with the lengths of 0 (control cement composite). 2.5. 5, 10 and 20 mm was used as partial replacement of the cement mixture. Flexural and co

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia is committed to addressing climate change and has taken various initiatives in dealing with the matter. At the policy level, the policy makers are charged with identifying possible national response strategies to climate change and implementing them through various tools. One of the focus areas is the regulation of the green house gasses e

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The escalating problem of opiate dependence in Malaysia and the limitations of regimental approach of forced admission to rehabilitation centres had triggered the government to expand the methadone maintenance therapy to become a national programme. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of the Methadone Maintenance Therapy programme

The Relation Between Maternal Serum Leptin Level and Glucose in Gestational Diabetes and in Normal Pregnancy
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Leptin , a cytokine secreted by adipocytes was suggested to play an important role in many endocrine regulations, including adiposity , puberty and fertility. Leptin levels are strongly correlated with body mass index (BMI) and total fat mass. The role of leptin during pregnancy especially in maternal-fetal metabolism and intrauterine growth remain

The dental intra-oral camera has made a significant input in dental treatment .it allows the dentist and the patient to get a close-up look at areas of special interest in the patient's mouth.( As a dental friend once remarked... "to see is to know... to not see is to guess"). When we can "see “a defect filling on a monitor it bec

Staphylococcal Cassette Chroromosome Mec (Sccmec) Typing of methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (Mrsa) Isolates from Patients Attending Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital (Htaa) in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: The adaptive power of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics lead to the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in the early 1960s. The cause of resistance to methicillin is the acquisition of the mecA gene, situated on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Methods: One of the mo

The Role of Environmental Impact Assessment in Addressing Marine Environmental Issues Arising from Oil and Gas Activities: Examples from Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia being a maritime nation is well endowed with valuable resources found within her marine waters, notably that of oil and gas. These conventional sources of energy, which are being actively exploited, contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth and industrialization. However, in the context of marine protection, oil and gas ac

A gravitational-Wave Measurement of the Hubble Constant Following the Second Observing Run of Advanced Ligo and Virgo
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the gravitational-wave measurement of the Hubble constant (H 0) using the detections from the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detector network. The presence of the transient electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star GW170817 led to the first standard-siren measurement of H 0. Here we a

Effect of High Inlet Temperature of Spray Dryer on Viability of Microencapsulated Trichoderma Asperellum Conidia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In recent years, the use of spray drying for microencapsulating beneficial microbes has gained the interest of researchers, mainly due to dried powder formulation could prevent contamination and prolong self-life of the microbes. The major constraint of spray drying is conidia could lose viability during the drying process due to heat. In this pres
