Income Convergence or Divergence? Study on Selected Muslim Countries
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, the existence of income convergence or income divergence is investigated on ten selected OIC (the Organisation Islamic Conference) economies. The results are then linked to the degree of openness in which the countries use globalization indices. In order to investigate the existence of either income convergence or divergence between

Topological Dimension
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this article we will establish some basic but pivotal results regarding dimension of spaces with relative topologies. Most of the results are known to the readers but we have established their generalization through a simple variational approach. In the creative process, focus has been on well defined simple concepts as an expeditious means of i

Foreign Portfolio Investment and Economic Growth
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study examines the relationship between foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and Malaysia’s economic performance. In particular, the study analyzes the relationship between FPI and real gross domestic product (GDP) using the widely adopted Granger causality test and the more recent Toda and Yamamoto’s (1995) non-causality test to establish t

Foreign Portfolio Investment and Economic Growth : an Asymmetric Cointegration Approach.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The present study attempts to analyze the long-run equilibrium relationship between foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by cointegration tests assuming asymmetric adjustment. Following Enders and Siklos (2001), the Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test is expanding to incorporate an asymmetric error correcti

Survnvote: a Free Web Based Audience Response System to Support Interactivity in the Classroom
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Survnvote is a free Audience Response System (ARS) for surveys and voting using the web, sms and mobile devices (PDA or smart phone). This paper proposed some improved features of a web-based ARS which replace the clicker with mobile phone and use the web instead of specialist software and infrastructure. Survnvote solved the main problem of tradit

Arithmetic Version of Boolean Algebra
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we discuss that the logical results in Boolean algebra can equally be derived with ordinary algebraic operations. We establish arithmetic versions of the common logical propositions inclusive of Sheffer stroke (Nand connective) and Peirce’s arrow (Nor connective) which are very important to design circuit diagrams. We present the c

Income Convergence and the Degree of Openess: the Case of Selected Muslim Countries
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article examines income convergence or divergence behavior between ten selected OIC (the Organisation of Islamic Conference) economies and the benchmark country of the United States for the period 1970 to 2004. The results are then linked to the degree of openness of the countries under study based on globalization indices. To investigate conv

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity from Potential Malaysian Medicinal Plants as Remedies for Gout
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia has a rich diversity of medicinal plants and some of them have the property to inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO), which can be introduced as new natural source of gout medication and a substitute for synthetic xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI), specifically Allopurinol which has many side effects. Fifty samples from twenty plant species were e
