Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Depression can occur due to common major life transitions, such as giving birth, menopause, retirement, empty-nest transition, and midlife crisis. Although some of these transitions are perceived as positive (e.g., giving birth), they may still lead to depression. We conducted a systematic literature review of the factors underlying the occurrence

A Numerical Solution for Nonlinear Heat Transfer of Fin Problems Using the Haar Wavelet Quasilinearization Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The aim of this paper is to study the new application of Haar wavelet quasilinearization method (HWQM) to solve one-dimensional nonlinear heat transfer of fin problems. Three different types of nonlinear problems are numerically treated and the HWQM solutions are compared with those of the other method. The effects of temperature distribution of a

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common healthcare-related infection in surgical patients. Patients who have undergone spinal surgeries and have contracted postoperative SSI face increased morbidity and mortality, which invariably leads to additional burden on the healthcare system and higher costs. The risk factors for the i

single-Staged Transoral intra-Lesional Excision of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of Axis (C2) Vertebra and Temporary Stabilization of Upper Cervical Spine in an Adolescent: a Case Report
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) infrequently occurs within the upper cervical vertebrae. Various therapeutic options have been reported in the literature. We would like to share our experience in managing a case of a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with ABC at the body of axis (C2) vertebra. Serious attention had to be given on the stability of the cervical

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Microgrid power system is becoming popular for utilizing renewable energy. This energy should invert to supply AC for microgrid, but inversion of the renewable energy has suffered some issues; inferior quality of waveform, large phase difference, high switching loss and poor power quality. A new scheme of phase synchronous inverter (PSI) has outlin
