Dynamic Modeling and Control of Nonholonomic Mobile Robot with Lateral Slip
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nonholonomic mobile robots are characterized by no-slip constraints. However, in many practical situations, slips are inevitable. In this work, we develop a theoretical and systematic framework to include slip dynamics into the overall dynamics of the wheeled mobile robot (WMR). Such a dynamic model is useful to understand the slip characteristics

Synthesis of Nano Sized Hydroxyapatite Powder Using sol-Gel Technique and its Conversion to Dense and Porous Bodies
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Hydroxyapatite powder has been prepared via sol-gel procedure using calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate as the precursors for calcium and phosphorus, respectively. XRD measurement shows that the powder contains hydroxyapatite crystals with ß-TCP and calcium oxide as secondary phases. Hydroxyapatite powder of higher purit

The Origins and Functions of Islamic Domestic Courtyards
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This book discusses the phenomenon of the courtyard in Islamic domestic architecture, focusing on the issues of its origins and diverse functions. The book treats the phenomenon of Islamic domestic courtyards as a cultural, environmental, structural and, above all, religious one, because it is the message of Islam that presided, by and large, over

An Introduction to Trade Law and Environmental Law
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Trade Law and Environmental Law have always been hot issues at both local and international conferences. This is because they not only deal with hard economic but also man as a human being. Because human issues are involved, policies on environment and trade need to be scrutinised in order to avoid depletion of natural resources and the destruction

Built for People! Corporate Social Responsibility of Contractors: a Special Reference to the Malaysian Construction Industry
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In Malaysia, top of the chart on consumer complaints has long been hold by the ‘contractors’ particularly the house developers. Nearly every day, viewers of the Prime News are exposed to grievances of house buyers, be it late delivery or non delivery of vacant possession, safety of the building, defective building, incomplete/abandoned work, no

The Status of International Law in the Malaysian Municipal Legal System: Creeping Monism in Legal Discourse
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article revisits the status of international law in the Malaysian municipal legal system and considers whether monism is the doctrine or the preferred doctrine in relation to the proper place of international law in Malaysia. This revisit is necessary because of the tendency in some legal writings and legal opinions to take a cavalier approach

Aspects of Civilizational Islam
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Civilizational Islam is not a new religion, doctrine or sect. It is an idea which aims to draw the attention of the Malaysians and the world at the large to the correct understanding of the religion of Islam. In this paper the author studies two of ten principles of civilizational Islam. The paper argues that for the project to succeed it must be p

The Use of Fibrin and Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Hybrid Scaffold for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering: an in Vivo Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Our preliminary results indicated that fibrin and poly(lactic co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) hybrid scaffold promoted early chondrogenesis of articular cartilage constructs in vitro. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo cartilaginous tissue formation by chondrocyte-seeded fibrin/PLGA hybrid scaffolds. PLGA scaffolds were soaked carefully, in cho

Fibrin and Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Hybrid Scaffold Promotes Early Chondrogenesis of Articular Chondrocytes: an in Vitro Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Synthetic- and naturally derived- biodegradable polymers have been widely used to construct scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are bioresorbable and biocompatible, rendering them as a promising tool or clinical application. To minimize cells lost during the seeding procedure, we used the nat

Antioxidants Intake and Status, and Oxidative Stress in Relation to Breast Cancer Risks: a case-Control Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A case control study was carried out to investigate associations between breast cancer risk, antioxidant status and oxidative stress among women in Klang Valley and Selangor. A total of 57 newly diagnosed cases aged 30 to 66 years old participated and were matched for age and ethnicity with 139 controls with no diagnosis of cancer or other chronic
