Right Atrial Tuberculoma: a Diagnosis Too Late
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Solitary intra-cardiac cavity tuberculoma is extremely rare and often only diagnosed during a post-mortem. We report a case of right atrial tuberculoma causing right atrial outflow tract obstruction in an immune-compromised man. The diagnosis of cardiac tuberculoma was made through the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA by tuberculosis-pol

Estimating the Bias in Meta Analysis Estimates for Continuous Data with non-Random Missing Study Variance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper examines, analytically, the biases introduced in the meta analysis estimates when the study-level variances are missing with non-random missing mechanism (MNAR). Two common approaches in handling this problem is considered, namely, the missing variances are imputed, and the studies with missing study variances are omitted from the analys

Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of the Leaves of Garcinia Griffithii(Guttiferae)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chemical investigation of the leaves of Garcinia griffithii(Guttiferae) has been carried out. The crude extract was obtained by using soxhlet extraction with n-hexane (n-Hexane) and methanol (MeOH) as the solvents. The MeOH crude exhact of the leaves of G. grifftthiiwere screened for antioxidant activity by DPPH method. The result suggested that th

Tobacco Control Education in Pharmacy : from Theory to Practice.

Tobacco smoking is recognized as a major cause of preventable diseases and premature deaths worldwide. It is estimated that more than five million smokers die annually due to smoking related diseases globally (WHO, 2008), The death toll is expected to escalate to more than eight million deaths annually by 2030 if the current smoking patterns contin

Indian Muslims in Malaysia: a Sociological Analysis of a Minority Ethnic Group
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article analyses the status of Indian Muslims in Malaysia from a historical perspective and its definition as a minority ethnic group. It also highlights the political reality of the Indian Muslims, particularly as a smaller and relatively insignificant minority group in comparison with the numerically larger Malays as well as the non-Muslim C

Design and Implementation of Fuzzy Based Controller for Modern Elevator Group
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The elevator technologies are developed to serve the requested passenger’s floors with high consideration of passengers’ satisfaction and elevator optimal performance. Responding to the issue, this paper focuses on development of an elevator group controller based on fuzzy algorithm. By introducing a fuzzy controller in an elevator system, this

Ammonical Nitrogen Effluent Prediction Using Artificial Neural Network
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) in domestic wastewater treatment plants (WWTP’s) has recently been added as the monitoring parameter by department of environment. It is necessary to obtain a suitable model for the prediction of NH3-N in the effluent stream of WWTP in order to meet the stringent environmental laws. Therefore, the study explores the ro

solar-Based Fuzzy Intelligent Water Sprinkle System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A solar-based intelligent water sprinkler system project that has been developed to ensure the effectiveness in watering the plant is improved by making the system automated. The control system consists of an electricalcapacitance soil moisture sensor installed into the ground which is interfaced to a controller unit of Motorola 68HC11 Handy board

Remarkably High Survival Rates Under Dim Light Conditions in Sutchi Catfish Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus Larvae
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The sutchi catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important species for aquaculture in Southeast Asia. However, larvae typically have low survival rates due to their predilection for cannibalism during rearing. This study investigated larval feeding behavior and rearing conditions. The former experiments were performed to elucidate the role of s

Optimum Light Intensity for Larval Rearing of Brown Marbled Grouper Epinephelus Fuscogttatus
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Brown-marbled grouper Epinephelus fuscogttatus hachted with immature sensory organs, however their sensory organs developed rapidly after hatching. Their eyes had only cone cells in their retinae until commencement of the methamorphosis. The brown-marbled grouper larvae got rod cells at 25-day-old, then, retinomotor responses occured in their retin
