Molecular Dynamics Approach in Designing Thermostable Bacillus Circulans Xylanase
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We have applied molecular dynamics methods as a tool in designing thermostable Bacillus circulans Xylanase, by examining Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) of enzymes structure at its optimum temperature and compare with its high temperature behavior. As RMSD represents structural fluctuation at a particular temperature, a better understanding of th

Molecular Dynamics Study of the Effect of Calcium Ions on the Thermostability of Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens Phytase
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Phytase is added to animal feeds to improve phosphorus absorption and reduce phosphorus excretion of swine and poultry. It hydrolyses phytate, which is a major form of storage of cereal grains and legumes in commercial animal feeds, into myo-inositol and inorganic phosphate. Adequate thermostability of phytase is necessary for field application as

Malaysia in the post-Is Era
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Since its independence on 31 August 1957, Malaysia has confronted security threats of different forms and intensity, including from terrorist groups Jama’ah Islamiyyah (JI) until 2012 and the so-called Islamic State (IS) until 2019. The disintegration of IS has left its fighters and their families in chaos. Some former fighters are requesting rep

Evaluation of Blood Flow Velocity Envelope in Common Carotid Artery for Reference Data
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The aim of the present study is to investigate the usefulness of envelope waveforms of blood velocity and its indices in the common carotid artery (CCA). The envelope waveforms are measured using a developed wireless measurement system. The CCA blood velocity waveforms of 202 healthy volunteers were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was used to deter

The Green Building Index (Gbi): an Innovation in Landscape Architecture
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a review of the Green Building Index as a new innovation in landscape architecture scope of works. The Green Building Index (GBI) is a green rating system introduced by the Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) to evaluate the performance of building across a broad range of environmental considerations. Apart from evaluating the bui

The Green Building Index (Gbi) on Landscape Architecture Scope of Works
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Green Building Index (GBI) is a green rating system introduced by the Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) to evaluate the performance of building across a broad range of environmental considerations. Apart from evaluating the building’s performance, the landscape design aspect has become a major part and parcel from the overall GBI assessment t

On Selection of Models for Continuos Meta Analysis Data with Incomplete Variability Measures
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The choice between the fixed and random effects models for providing an overall meta analysis estimates may affect the accuracy of those estimates. When the study-level standard deviations (SDs) are not completely reported or are “missing” selection of a meta analysis model should be done with more caution. In this article, we examine through a

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

group-Based Behavioural Intervention for Smoking Cessation: is it All in their Heads?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the studies used for the analyses, group counseling is defined as having a minimum of two group meetings, and follow-up of smoking status at least 6 months after the start of the program, with carbon monoxide (CO) validated cessation. Most programs used between six and eight sessions, with the first few sessions devoted to discussion of motivati

Potential of Using ICT in islamic-Based Education.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The advancement of Information Communication Technology (ICT) nowadays gives a great challenge to educators in order to continuously play significant roles in the borderless globalization of information era. This challenge should not be regarded as a threat but should be accepted as a great reward to education world. Thus, the main purpose of this
