Apoptotic Activities of Thymoquinone, an Active Ingredient of Black Seed (Nigella Sativa), in Cervical Cancer Cell Lines
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the main constituent of black seed (Nigella sativa, spp) essential oil which shows promising in vitro and in vivo anti-neoplastic activities in different tumor cell lines. However, to date there are only a few reports regarding the apoptotic effects of TQ on cervical cancer cells. Here, we report that TQ stimulated distinct apo

Monetary Policy Transmission Through the bank-Financing Channel in Malaysia: Evidence from bank-Level Data
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study analyses the role of Islamic banks in transmitting monetary policy through the bank-financing channel in Malaysia. Bank size, liquidity and capitalization levels are hypothesized to be sources of cross-sectional differences among banks. If relevant, this implies that the financing channel is operational through the Islamic banks. We eval

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The recent 2008 global financial crisis was dubbed as the worst crisis since the Great Depression. Several conventional banks were affected. However, the effect of the crisis on Islamic banks was marginal. There is quite a volume of literature that has discussed this financial crisis and how Islamic banks are somewhat insulated against the corollar

Performance Evaluation of Papr Reduction with Ser and Ber by Modified Clipping & Filtering in 3gpp Lte Downlink
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper work focuses on performance analysis of PAPR reduction of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) using amplitude clipping & filtering based design. Now a days one of the most proficient multi-carrier transmission techniques widely used today is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) which has been implemented by

Cost Analysis of Using Hybrid Microwave post-Sintered Aluminium Oxide Inserts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research investigates the effect of heat treatment using hybrid microwave energy toward the enhancement of tool life in Aluminium Oxide (Al₂O₃) inserts. Al2O3 tool insert is known for its attractive properties including high fracture toughness, strength and wear resistance at elevated temperatures. Heat treatment was performed on these ins

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Composite materials have penetrated into the manufacturing of many items; from domestic commercialized products to automobile and aerospace industries. It has recently been introduced in the making of the outer shell of the motorbike helmet because of its lightweight, strength and high modulus-to-weight ratio properties. This research aims in desig

Isolation of a Promising anti-Diabetic Agent (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) from the Leaves of Malaysian Herb “tetracera Indica” and its in Vivo Toxicological Studies
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among Malaysians adults more than 30 years of age has escalated by more than two fold over a 20-year period. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder together with other metabolic abnormalities, usually developed due to insulin resistance or deficiency as well as increased hepatic glucose output. On the other hand

Investigation of the Unified Rain Attenuation Prediction Method with Data from Tropical Climates
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The semi-empirical method recently proposed by Silva Mello and Pontes (SMP) for the prediction of rain attenuation in slant paths is investigated in this letter. The SMP method uses the simplified model of equivalent rain cell and the concept of an effective rain rate. However, substantial deviations were observed in SMP predictions when compared t
