Individualised Antibiotic Dosing for Patients Who are Critically Ill: Challenges and Potential Solutions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Infections in critically ill patients are associated with persistently poor clinical outcomes. These patients have severely altered and variable antibiotic pharmacokinetics and are infected by less susceptible pathogens. Antibiotic dosing that does not account for these features is likely to result in suboptimum outcomes. In this Review, we explore

Grader Learning Effect and Reproducibility of Doppler spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Derived Retinal Blood Flow Measurements
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

PURPOSE: To investigate grader learning effect and to quantify intergrader reproducibility of Doppler Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) derived retinal blood flow measurements. METHODS: Fifteen healthy young subjects (mean age 28.44; SD 3 years) underwent Doppler SD-OCT scans of one eye using the circumpapillary double circular

Lysophosphatidylinositol: a Novel Link Between Abc Transporters and g-Protein-coupled Receptors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a well-known bioactive lipid that is able to activate signalling cascades relevant to cell proliferation, migration, survival and tumorigenesis. Our previous work suggested that LPI is involved in cancer progression since it can be released in the medium of Ras-transformed fibroblasts and can function as an autocri

Effect of Tropical Climate Condition to Compressive Strength and Microstructure Properties of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (Hpfrc)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Additional of fiber in concrete creates fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with an improvement of the mechanical properties of the concrete. However, fiber incorporation in FRC is limited to 2% to allow normal mixing procedure. To address this issue, high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is introduced and it is relatively new in construct

Pozzolanic Reaction Mechanism of Rice Husk Ash in Concrete: a Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recently, incorporation of cement replacement material (CRM) in concrete has gained considerable attention throughout the world. It is known that the commonly used CRM in current concrete industry is silica fume (SF), pulverized fuel ash (PFA) and rice husk ash (RHA). RHA is an agricultural waste from rice milling process. Rice farming activities i

Can Serumpun Still Binds Malays and Indonesians After Recent Cultural flare-Ups?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It has been more than a year since the last cultural ‘flare-ups’ took place between Malaysia and Indonesia. Undeniably, the concept of serumpun has always been a major factor underlying the relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia. How far has the concept of serumpun influenced the solidarity of both Malaysians and Indonesians today? Comment

The Reliability of Camerire’s Age Estimation Method Among Malay Children
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: Although many methods of chronological age (CA) estimation have been developed, dental age (DA) from development of tooth was found less environmentally influenced. The radiographic assessment on tooth development is considered to be more reliable than other methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of Camerie

Biquadratic Equations Over p-Adic Fields
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we study a bi-quadratic equation x^4 + ax^2 = b over p-adic fields Q_p. It is worth of mentioning that the bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is not solvable in the real number field R. However, the same bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is solvable some p-adic fields such as p = 17, 41, ... Therefore, it is of independent interest to

Dispute Management in Islamic Financial Institutions: a Case Study of Near Sukuk Defaults
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults. With the case studies, this study examines the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults. With a number of case studies, the study shows how debt restructuri

Legal Research and Legal Citation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Generally, one of the most important factors that establish the veracity of particular facts is the evidence adduced to support such facts. Just as a lawyer in a court of law is required to adduce evidence to support his or her statement of fact, a legal research is required to provide the relevant details, sources, and references to justify any st
