Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, awareness, and perception of contraception among senior pharmacy students of a public sector university in Malaysia. Methods: A cross‑sectional, questionnaire‑based study was conducted among senior pharmacy students. The pretested questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants o

Effect of Religious Beliefs on the Smoking Behaviour of University Students: Quantitative Findings from Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Malaysian ofﬁcial Islamic authorities have issued a ‘‘fatwa’’ (Islamic ruling) regarding smoking practice which prohibits Muslims from smoking because of its potential harm to health. Since the prevalence of smoking among Malaysian students is high, this study was designed to explore the perceptions and opinions of Malaysian Muslim st

Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform Based Improvement of Partial Transmit Sequence Scheme to Reduce Papr in Ofdm Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Future applications of communication systems require higher data rates and more mobility. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can achieve these goals due to it is ability to reach high bit rates over fading channels as well as its efficient utilization of the bandwidth. However, the transmitted signal of OFDM suffers from high peak to

Ionic liquid-Tolerant Cellulase from Palm Kernel Cake for Efficient Lignocellulose Hydrolysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Palm kernel cake (PKC) was utilized as the main media for cellulase enzyme production using solid-state bioconversion (SSB). The fermentation was carried out for 7 days using Trichoderma reesei with 0.05% Tween-80 and moisture content of 62.0% (w/w). The enzyme was extracted with citrate buffer (pH 4.8) at 150 rpm agitation speed. The enzyme extrac

Shisha Smokers’ Determinants of Use, Knowledge and Perception Towards Shisha (Waterpipe) Smoking in Penang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Tobacco smoking is a serious health problem worldwide. Malaysia as many of south Asian countries faces the challenge of rising tobacco consumption. Despite the apparent spread of Shisha smoking phenomenon among Malaysian population, little is known about the safety concerns and determinants of Shisha smokers in this community. Objective

Multidimensional Discrete Compactons in Nonlinear Schr¨odinger Lattices with Strong Nonlinearity Management
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The existence of multidimensional lattice compactons in the discrete nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation in the presence of fast periodic time modulations of the nonlinearity is demonstrated. By averaging over the period of the fast modulations, an effective averaged dynamical equation arises with coupling constants involving Bessel functions of the f

Optimizing the Preparation of cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (Clea)- Amylase from Supermeal Worm (Zophobas Morio)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA) technology has been gaining more attention recently due to their advantages in industrial application. Various CLEA- enzymes has been successfully prepared with diverse advantages. Among the benefits of CLEA are; more stability, easy to prepare, cheap and reusable as compared to the free enzymes. This particula
