Natural Silk of Pholcus Phalangioides, a Common Home Spider Species for Wound Healing Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Spider silk contains peptides and biomolecules that able to stimulate and improve conditions of wound healing. In this study, we report the potential use of natural silk from common home spider, Pholcus phalangioides, on human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) and teeth pulp stem cell’s proliferation and migration. The aim of this study was to exami

Effect of Sudden Expansion for Varied Area Ratios at Subsonic and Sonic Flow Regimes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigates the effect of sudden expansion of air in cylindrical pipes of varied area (AR) and length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios, at subsonic and sonic flow regimes. It was found that the flow reattaches at approximately same location of the pipe, irrespective of the area ratio for the cases 2.56 and 3.61. At minimal area ratio of 1.69, t

Correlation Between Framingham Risk Score and Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Malaysian Obese Adults
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Obese adults have increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which can be estimated using Framingham risk score (FRS). Identifying the risk of developing CVD may reiterate the necessity of intensive intervention to reduce the ever-increasing burden of this disease. However, national data of FRS and its relationship wi

Prevalence of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Among Malaysian Obese Adults
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Obese adults are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR). The study aims to investigate the prevalence of CMR factor abnormalities in obese adults in Kuantan. Methods: Seventy-six obese adults with a mean (standard deviation) age of 33.7 years (9.8 years) participated in this study. All participants had a waist circumfere

Effectiveness of Lifestyle Modification Intervention on Cardiometabolic Risk Profile Among Obese Adults
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Obesity is an independent risk factor for dyslipidaemia. It is expected that lipid profile is improved following weight loss. In Malaysia, lifestyle modification intervention (LMI) has been a treatment modality for obesity since decades ago. However, the evidence of it’s effectiveness on promoting weight loss thus improving lipid profile among ob

The content of this book start from simple research definitions, literature review and its important outcomes, research designs, meth

Green Computing Knowledge Among Students in a Ugandan University
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Humans, including students, are partly responsible for rising levels of global warming through unsustainable computing practices. It is imperative that students participate in the global drive to reduce global warming through activities like green computing which advocates for sustainable use of computing resources to reduce energy consumption and

Chf Enhancement of a Large Heated Surface by a Honeycomb Porous Plate and a Gridded Metal Structure in a Saturated Pool Boiling of Nanofluid
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The enhancement of the critical heat flux (CHF) in saturated pool boiling of water-based nanofluid (containing TiO2 nanoparticles) by the attachment of a honeycomb porous plate (HPP) and a gridded metal structure (GMS) on a horizontal heated surface have been investigated experimentally. The honeycomb porous plate attached to the heated surface enh

Judicial Remedies for Banks When a Customer Defaults Under Ijarah Muntahia Bi al-Tamlik Home Financing Facility
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Oxford Dictionary3 defines 'remedy' as a medicine or treatment for a disease or injury but in the legal sense, it is a means of achieving justice in any matter in which legal rights are involved. A legal or judicial remedy is the vehicle for a court of law - usually in exercising civil law jurisdiction -- to enforce a right, charge a pe
