Determinants of Students’ Outcome: a full-Fledged Structural Equation Modelling Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The vibrant demand for academic excellence in the twenty-first century has brought diverse determinants of students’ outcome into play. However, few studies have validated the instruments and examined the mediating effect between exogenous and endogenous variables of the student outcome model. This study, therefore, investigates the psychometric

Effects of Perivitelline Fluid Obtained from Horseshoe Crab on the Proliferation and Genotoxicity of Dental Pulp Stem Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: Perivitelline fluid (PVF) of the horseshoe crab embryo has been reported to possess an important role during embryogenesis by promoting cell proliferation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PVF on the proliferation, chromosome aberration (CA) and mutagenicity of the dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Materials and Methods: This is a

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In recent time, considerable interest has been shown to electromagnetic wave propagation in arid regions and the influence of sand and dust storms with emphasis on signal attenuation and cross polarization in dual polarized systems for frequency spectrum conservation. The realization of a dual-polarized system is, however, usually limited by degree

On p-Adic lambda-Model on the Cayley Tree Ii: Phase Transitions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present paper, we consider the p-adic λ-model on the Cayley tree of order two. It is considered generalized p-adic quasi Gibbs measure depending on a parameter ρ ∈ p, for the λ-model. In the p-adic setting there are several kinds of phase transitions such as storing phase transition, phase transition in terms of the generalized p-adic q
