Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

AIM: To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (FSD) among women with rheumatoid arthritis attending the Rheumatology Clinic in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) and Hospital Putrajaya, Malaysia, and to determine its associations with potential clinical and disease activity factors. METHOD : This was a cross-sectional st

Fatigue Failure Processes in pb-Free Solder Joints Using Continuum Damage and Cohesive Zone Models
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The mechanics of failure in a solder joint under cyclic mechanical loading is quantified and described in this paper. It is postulated that fatigue failure of the solder joint occurs through simultaneous competitive mechanisms of cyclic damage processes occurring through the bulk solder and across solder/IMC interface. Progressive damage in the bul

Widget Based Automated Rigging of Bipedal Character with Custom Manipulators
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this research paper we present an automated rigging system for a humanoid (biped) character with complete customization and control options according to the need of the character rigger and the animator. The rigging requirements check list has been proposed for each body part by analyzing various live natural human motions and then summarizing t

The Use of Macrophytes as Indicators of Heavy Metals in Aquatic Ecosystems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Macrophytes are excellent indicators of environmental quality due to the variety of ways in which they respond to anthropogenic pollution. In environmental impact studies, certain plant species provide valuable information about the chemical state of their environment through their presence. The study focused on assesment of trace element contamina

Effect of Tapered Angle of a Conical Nose Indenter on the Energy Absorbing Variation of a Copper Pipe Subjected to Axial Crushing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present research work, a 100 mm long copper pipe segment with a 1 mm wall thickness is subjected to a drop weight impact by a conical shaped steel indenter with varying nose angles but constant mass. The impact velocity of the indenter was kept constant so that the kinetic energy available at impact was same for all cases. The effect of inde

Analytical Evaluation of a New Route Optimization Scheme for Nested Mobile Network
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As the Internet becomes more and more accessible, claims for mobility are not limited anymore to single hosts. Supporting networks’ roaming that move as one entity is required in order to enable the transparency of Internet in mobile platforms, like cars, trains, planes, buses, etc. To accomplish this, NEMO Basic Support has been proposed and dev

Mumps: a Rare Cause of Pancreatitis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Acute pancreatitis related to mumps infection is rarely reported. In this case report, wehighlight a case of acute pancreatitis caused by mumps infection in adulthood. A 25-year old woman treated for mumps developed sudden onset of vomiting and epigastric pain. She had an elevation of serum amylase and was treated for acute pancreatitis. She showed

D’anaesthésie Et D’analgésie loco-Régionale: Coup D’oeil Through the Past, the Present and the Future.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Since K. Koller introduced the first regional anaesthesia with cocaine in 1846, it has evolved rapidly. Regional anaesthesia has become the contemporary anaesthesia approach to facilitate surgical procedures and promote patient safety, thanks to break throughs in pharmacology, knowledge in medicine and innovative technology. In recent years, region

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The efforts toward sustainable development goals in the educational context are of growing importance even in an e-learning perspective. Sustainability aims to improve the e-learning quality since it supports long-term innovation processes while benefiting society, economy, and the environment. In order to portray its prosperous mission, this paper

The Third National Health and Morbidity Survey: Prevalence of Obesity, and Abdominal Obesity Among the Malaysian Elderly Population
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Obesity is an emerging public health threat in the elderly population in developing countries. Hence, the Third National Health and Morbidity Survey has assessed 4746 individuals aged 60 years and older recruited through a household survey to determine the prevalence of adiposity using body mass index and waist circumference. The national's pre
