Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: To determine if different plaque control measures have any effect on thin gingival biotype. Materials and Methods: Twenty systemically healthy females, of thin gingival biotype and with mild to moderate gingivitis, were recruited for the study. Subjects were randomized consecutively to one of two groups: the test group (TG, n=10) or the

The Pyrrolidine Ring and its Relation with the Psychoactivity of Mitragynine
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Mitragynine, the major alkaloid of Mitragyna speciosa has been widely studied for its anti-addictive properties. Similar to morphine, mitragynine mainly acts at mu-opioid receptor which is the main target to treat opioid dependency. Unfortunately, it is believed that the psychoactivity of mitragynine is limiting its use. Compared to morphine, mitra

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

According to the Malaysia Economic Report 2015/2016, the construction industry of Malaysia is estimated to contribute some 8% to the nation’s GDP in year 2015. Consequently, activities related to construction are widespread, hence the potential of loss and damage they entail. Such potential loss and damage of construction works require protection

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterized by an abnormal accumulation of a PAS positive material within the alveolar spaces and distal bronchioles. A 29 year old lady in her 29th week of pregnancy presented with prolonged dry cough for two months which was associated with reduced effort tolerance and low grade fever. At

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Qsar Studies of Diarylpentanoid Analogues as Potential Nitric Oxideinhibitors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A series of forty-five 1,5-diphenylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their nitric oxide (NO) inhibition activity in IFN-γ/LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 3h, 7a, 7d and 7e exhibited comparable or significantly higher activity than the standard, curcumin (IC50 = 14.69 ± 0.24 μM). Compound 7d, a 5-methylthi

Exploring Application of equity-Based Financing Through Musharakah Mutanaqisah in Islamic Banks in Malaysia: Perspective from the Industry Players
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Due to the prohibition of interest in Islamic financial transactions as well as the nature of the Islamic banks which is based on the profit and loss sharing concept, the equity-based financing should be widely adopted rather than debt-based financing which is similar to that of the conventional banks. As such, financing instruments such as Muḍā

Growth Profile and Fatty Acid Accumulation of Four Chaetoceros Taxa Isolated from Coastal Water of Pahang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This indoor study was aimed to analyze the production of fatty acids with their growth profile from few marine algae under the genus Chaetoceros isolated from coastal water of Pahang, Malaysia. The algae were established into culture using standard marine media (f/2 media) and the variation of fatty acid for each species was determined using GCMS.

Pure Cultivation and Morphological Studies of Four Chaetoceros Taxa from the Coastal Waters of Pahang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study was conducted to study the morphological features of species under the genus Chaetoceros isolated from the coastal waters of Pahang, Malaysia. The species were isolated, cultivated and viewed under light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Four taxa were successfully isolated and cultivated in pure culture, namely Cha

Improved Co2 Adsorption Capacity and Cyclic Stability of Cao Sorbents Incorporated with Mgo
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Calcium oxide (CaO) sorbents incorporated with magnesium oxide (MgO) were synthesized using a co-precipitation route. The sorbents were prepared with different MgO concentrations (from 5 wt% to 30 wt%). The as-prepared sorbents were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive

Development of Cardioid Based Graph ECG Heart Abnormalities Classification Technique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, the development of Cardioid based graph electrocardiogram heart abnormalities classification technique is presented. ECG signals in this work were acquired from a public online database UCD Sleep Apnea database (UCDB) with sampling rate of 250 Hz. Each recording has 60 seconds of electrocardiogram signals. Unique features were extrac
