Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: To study the association between sleep apnea and hypertension in a younger age group than previously studied. Methods: We analyzed data on sleep-disordered breathing (based on polysomnography tests), body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, upper airway endoscopy sizes, and habitus and health history in 120 hypertensive and 120 nonhyp

Theory of Islamic Consumer Behaviour : an Empirical Study of Consumer Behaviour of Islamic Mortgage in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The purpose of this study is to propose a theory of Islamic consumer behavior to explain the factors that influence the Islamic mortgage industry. Although previous works have shown that conventional marketing theories were, to a certain extent, able to predict factors influencing halal marketing and Islamic mortgage, these theories fail to capture

Adopting a no-Fault Compensation Scheme for Motor Vehicle Accidents in Malaysia: a Myth or Reality?

Although previous works have shown that conventional marketing theories were, to a certain extent, able to predict factors influencing halal marketing and Islamic mortgage, these theories fail to capture or accommodate the Islamic perspectives of consumer behaviour. Conventional marketing theories have also been found to be inadequate to expound an

Microarray and Quantitative Pcr Analysis of Gene Expression Profiles in Response to Treatment with Tomato Leaf Extract in Mcf-7 Breast Cancer Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We previously found cytotoxic effects of tomato leaf extract (TLE) on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The aim of this study was to ascertain the molecular mechanisms associated with the usage of TLE as an anticancer agent by microarray analysis using mRNA from MCF-7 breast cancer cells after treatment with TLE for 1 hr and 48 hrs. Approximately

A Review on Solar Assisted Heat Pump Systems in Singapore
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A solar assisted heat pump is used for different applications, such as, water heating, drying and air conditioning. The unglazed evaporator- collector enables to absorb both solar energy and ambient energy due to low operating temperature. Three different systems are described: solar assisted heat pump system for hot water using an unglazed evapora

Application of Intelligent Technique for Development of Colpitts Oscillator
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, new method of Colpitts oscillator designing through combination of Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been suggested. The Thevenin's resistors for the common base Colpitts oscillator are optimized through application of GA and ANN. The developed common base Colpitts oscillator has shortest transient time re
