Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Waterlily Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is thought to be antioxidant-rich, conferred by its functional hytochemicals. Methods: The potential anticancer effects of the ethanolic kernel extract on breast cancer cells (MDAMB-231 and MCF-7) using MTT, anti-proliferation, neutral red (NR) uptake and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were evaluate

Problems, Control, and Treatment of Fat, Oil, and Grease (Fog): a Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Presence of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in wastewater is an ever-growing concern to municipalities and solid-waste facility operators. FOG enters the sewer system from restaurants, residences, and industrial food facilities. Its release into the sewer system results in a continuous build-up that causes eventual blockage of sewer pipes. Several resea

Human Behaviour in Household Energy Use and the Implications of Energy Efficiency Delivery: a Case of Bauchi, Nigeria
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose – Although the term “energy efficiency” is technologically focused, it has a behavioural content due to the associated energy conservation practice involved. The technology aspect applies essentially to the application of new or better technology in order to derive same output or level of service for less input energy, while the conse

Mechanism of Fat, Oil and Grease (Fog) Deposit Formation in Sewer Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) released into sewer systems results in a continuous build-up and subsequent blockage of sewer pipes. Currently, scientist, authorities and wastewater municipalitieshave a lack of comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of FOG deposit formation and the factors influencing the deposition. In this study, the mechanism o

Leukemia Detection from Blood Smears
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Leukemia is a highly fatal hematologic cancer which starts in blood-forming tissue, such as bone marrow and triggers high production of immature and abnormal shaped blood cells. Skilled medical officers or microbiologists are required to diagnose leukemia from blood smears. This poses a problem in remote areas and rural areas where there is a short

Premalignant Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis Using Proteomic Pattern Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers due to the fact that it does not exhibit symptoms in the early stages. Furthermore, when pancreatic cancer gets diagnosed, it is usually too late. Consequently, early diagnosis is highly essential. The dawn of proteomics has brought with it a glimpse of hope of uncovering biomarkers that can be indi

The Success Rate of Vaginal Birth After Caesarean Section and Labour Outcomes in Women with Intrapartum Epidural Analgesia vs Parenteral Opioid: Preliminary Result
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Neuraxial analgesia(epidural), is one of the most effective treatment for labour pain, however this benefit was offset by possible association with increased risk of caesarean section and prolonged labour. The American college of Obstetrician and Gynaecologist recommended delaying the administration of epidural analgesia when possible

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chitosan is a naturally-occuring biomaterial with many advantages, including being non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable. It has a wide range of applications due to its numerous properties, and thus finds uses in wound dressings, biopesticides, tissues engineering, and pharmaceuticals. Chitosan microspheres have been produced via a variety of
