The Town Planners’ Perspective: Development Plan Towards Sustainable Coastal Management in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigates whether the town planning system can and should make a substantial contribution to coastal management by conducting primary research that focuses on the application of theory on practice. Perspectives of Malaysian town planners were viewed by carrying out questionnaire survey for data collection. Coastal management requires

The supply-Side it Outsourcing Competencies and Relationship Exchange in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

IT outsourcing (ITO) has experienced a considerable growth in recent years, so much so that some authors suggest we find ourselves in the outsourcing era. ITO growth seems to be guaranteed at least in the near future. Many past researches on IT outsourcing were done in North America, Europe and Australasia contexts with little evidence from develop

Paediatric Airway Reconstruction: a Preliminary Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To set the foundation for developing a centre for airway reconstruction, we performed a retrospective database review of patients operated at a tertiary-care university hospital. Over the past 3-year period from 2004 onwards, five paediatric cases of airway reconstruction procedures were performed. All cases had a two stages laryngotracheal reconst

Head Injury with Temporal Bone Fracture: One Year Review of Case Incidence, Causes, Clinical Features and Outcome
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To investigate the case incidence, causes, clinical profile and outcome of temporal bone fracture complicating head trauma. A 1-year (2005) retrospective study of head injured patients presented to the Emergency Department, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. Gender distribution, cause of injury, radiological findings and otorh

Removal of Extensive Maxillary Dentigerous Cyst via a caldwell-Luc Procedure
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A case of a large dentigerous cyst associated with canine tooth in the maxillary antrum is presented. This case is of interest because of its extensiveness and the presence of an ectopic tooth in the roof of the maxillary sinus. Theoretical aspects of canine impaction and cyst formation are reviewed. The management of a jaw cyst, in particular, the

Growth Study of Df-1 Cell Line in Microcarrier Bioreactor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Animal cell culture is fundamental in the manufacturing of many biological products. Biological products produced in animal cell cultures include vaccines, enzymes, hormones, antibodies and anticancer agents. However majority of animal cells is anchorage-dependent and requires attachment to a surface for their growth. Microcarrier is a small bead u

Durability and Tribological Properties of Thermally Sprayed Wc Cermet Coating Under Lubricated rolling-Sliding Contact
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Durability and tribological properties of thermally sprayed WC-Cr-Ni cermet coating were investigated experimentally under lubricated rolling with sliding contact conditions. By means of the high energy type flame spraying (Hi-HVOF) method, the coating was formed onto the axially and circumferentially ground roller specimens made of a thermally ref

Exercise Improved age-Associated Changes in the Carotid Blood Velocity Waveforms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Physiological blood flow velocity in common carotid artery (CCA) is altered markedly with advancing age. It is unknown that regular aerobic exercise is able to improve blood flow velocity waveforms in either healthy young or healthy older individuals. We investigate the role of regular exercise on the age-associated alterations in blood velocity wa

Translation, Validation and Psychometric Properties of Bahasa Malaysia Version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Up to date, there are handful questionnaires that have been validated in Bahasa Malaysia (BM). This study aimed to translate the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21-item (DASS-21) and measure its psychometric properties. Objectives: To determine the construct validity and acceptability of the DASS, BM. Methods: Two forward and backward

Effect of Gender on Blood Flow Velocities and Blood Pressure: Role of Body Weight and Height
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aging and gender alter arterial hemodynamic function. Gender-related differences in body size may affect the arterial hemodynamics such as systolic blood pressure, wave reflection and pressure wave propagation. To assess the possibility that the differences of carotid blood velocities and brachial blood pressure in women are related to body size, w
