Institutional Hypertension Control in Rural Malaysia: a Single Center Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Malaysia. Population-based hypertension control is extremely poor at only 6% based on the 1996 National Health and Morbidity Survey. It is important to gauge the level of hypertension control in institutional follow-up as it has important ramifications

Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital, Kota Bharu,kelantan Ambulatory Care Centre (Acc) & Haemodialysis Unit Project Planning Concept
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A write up on the planning layout of the proposed Ambulatory Care Centre and Haemodialysis Unit of RPZII Hospitalin Kota Bharu, Kelantan for clarity of planning rationale through circulation pattern of staff, patient, services and supplies; its adjoining department, unit and spaces relationship; its inter-connectivity with adjacent existing main ho

Design of a Compact Printed band-Notched Antenna for Ultrawideband Communications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A compact printed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with band-notched characteristic is presented. The antenna is designed to cover the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) bandwidth for UWB applications (3.1--10.6 GHz) with band-notched at frequency band (5.15--5.825 GHz). The proposed antenna is fed by microstrip line, and it consists of square rad

Factors Influencing Level of Knowledge on Noise Pollution and It’s Effects on Physiological and Psychological Health of Community In, Kuala Lumpur, 2006
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study to determine factors that influence the knowledge and sensitivity level to community noise pollution and its impacts to physiological and psychological health of community in Kuala Lumpur was carried out in December, 2005. Two communities were involved, 102 respondents from Community A (Flat Pekeliling, Jalan Tun Razak) and 87 respondents f

Politicizing the Social Sciences: Islam and Culture as socio-Political Fact
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

One possible way for a Muslim social scientist to respond and contextualize Islamic discourse is to mediate and cultivate a common perception and understanding between Muslim and non-Muslim readership through an understanding of Islam as a socio-political construct. In this paper, the discussion of Islam as socio-political fact is used to illustrat

Two Sensor Based h-Infinity Control of a Piezoelectric Tube Scanner
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The performance of a feedback-controlled piezoelectric tube scanner is limited by its inherent nonlinear properties such as hysteresis and creep, its mechanical resonance modes and its displacement sensor bandwidth and associated noise properties. Capacitive sensors have emerged as the displacement sensor of choice in piezoelectric tube scanners. R

Precise Tip Positioning of a Flexible Manipulator Using Resonant Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A single-link flexible manipulator is fabricated to represent a typical flexible robotic arm. This flexible manipulator is modeled as an SIMO system with the motor torque as the input and the hub angle and the tip position as the outputs. The two transfer functions are identified using a frequency-domain system identification method, and the resona

Simulation and Analysis of an Admission Control Mechanism for Mpls ds-Te
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Providing quality of service (QoS) is one of the main challenges in the internet that has recently gained the interest of many researchers. The internet architecture was originally designed to provide IP based “best effort” services to all its applications. The best effort service could be acceptable for traditional applications such as email a

Treatment of Pome by Pilot Plant Anaerobic Fluidised Bed Reactor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A pilot scale anaerobic fluidised bed reactor (AnFBR) of 2000 L capacity was studied to determine its ability to treat palm oil mill effluent (POME). The pilot plant was operated at ambient temperature with diluted POME as substrate. It took 17 days for the start-up of the reactor with pre-seeded sand media. The mean influent concentration of BOD,

How Important is Water Endowment for Trade in Agricultural Products?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Water is an important input for the production of agricultural products. Hence, following the Heckscher-Ohlin model and the virtual water hypothesis, relatively water abundant countries will have comparative advantage in agricultural products. We show that water endowment does play a role in determining agricultural products’ comparative advantag
