co-Production of Lactic Acid and Ethanol Using Rhizopus SP. from Hydrolyzed Inedible Cassava Starch and Leaves
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Production of lactic acid and ethanol from inedible cassava starch and leaves was investigated. Prior to fermentation, hydrolysis of the starch and leaves was conducted. Hydrolysis was optimized by manipulating at three levels each four particular factors, namely acid concentration, starch concentration, temperature, and reaction time. Maximum gluc

Analysis on the Effect of Stimulator Parameters in Electrical Stimulation Procedure on the Human Bicep Muscle
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

While electrical stimulation has proven to produce positive outcome among patients, electrical stimulation in post stroke rehabilitation faced one main limitation – muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue limits the training time, hence, affecting the recovery process. This work analyzes the occurrence of muscle fatigue with respect to the different stimu

Quality of sleep is one of the important elements of the learning process and memory. However, sleep problems are prominent among college students, which could affect their academic performance. The aim of this study wasto identify the association between quality of sleep and its impact towards academic performance among nursing students at the Fac

Validity and Reliability of the Malaysian Version of Parent Attitudes About Childhood Vaccines (Pacv) Survey
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The number parents in Malaysia that are hesitant about vaccines has grown in recent years. Identifying these parents is important in order to implement the necessary measures to maintain and improve the vaccines intake. The objectives of this study were to translate the Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) survey into Bahasa Malaysia, a

Determination and Quantification of Ethanol and Byproducts Using HPLC (Brand: Waters)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethanol has extensive applications especially as a solvent and a feedstock for synthesis of other products. It also has other uses such as for consumption (including scents and flavourings), colourings, medicines, personal care products, cleaning products, and can be served as solvent in perfume, aerosols, paint, lacquer and explosive (O'Leary,

The Mode of Antimicrobial Action of Cinnamomum Burmannii’s Essential Oil & Cinnamaldehyde
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The aim of this study was to postulate the mode of antimicrobial actions of both essential oil and cinnamaldehyde from Cinnamomum burmannii on the cell membrane of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation and followed by the isolation of cinnamaldehyde. Four modes of action

Post Concussion Syndrome After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in a Single Neurosurgical Center in East Coast, Malaysia - a Preliminary Report
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury is the most common form of traumatic brain injury. Individuals sustaining mild head injuries often complain of a cluster of symptoms termed post concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome can be profoundly disabling. Thus the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of post concussion syndrome in

lab-On-a-Chip-based pcr-Rflp Assay for the Detection of Malayan Box Turtle (Cuora Amboinensis)in the Food Chain and Traditional Chinese Medicines
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis) (MBT) is a vulnerable and protected turtle species, but it is a lucrative item in the illegal wildlife trade because of its great appeal as an exotic food item and in traditional medicine. Although several polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to identify MBT by various routes have been documented, their

Duplex real-Time Pcr Assay Using Sybr Green to Detect and Quantify Malayan Box Turtle (Cuora Amboinensis) Materials in Meatballs, Burgers, Frankfurters and Traditional Chinese Herbal Jelly Powder
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis) (MBT) is a vulnerable and protected species widely used in exotic foods and traditional medicines. Currently available polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to identify MBT lack automation and involve long targets which break down in processed or denatured tissue. This SYBR Green duplex real-time PCR assa

Thymoquinone Inhibits Growth of Human Medulloblastoma Cells by Inducing Oxidative Stress and caspase-Dependent Apoptosis While Suppressing nf-Jb Signaling and Il-8 Expression
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. The transcription factor NF-κB is overexpressed in human MB and is a critical factor for MB tumor growth. NF-κB is known to regulate the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8), the chemokine that enhances cancer cell growth and resistance to chemotherapy. We have recently sho
