The main purpose of the present paper is to document some Islamic leadership principles of management. The paper equally examines the leadership function as adopted by academic administrators within the International Islamic University, Malaysia vis-a-vis Islamic principles of management. The whole process is an attempt to conduct an empirical stud

The purpose of this study was to examine headmasters' and headmistresses' roles in facilitating learning organization and their perceptions of transformational leadership in primary schools. The study also examined the relationship between the headmasters'and headmistresses' perceptions of transformational leadership and their roles

Telemedicine is one of the most emerging technologies of applied medical sciences. Medical information related to patients is transmitted and stored for references and consultations. Medical images occupy huge space; in order to transmit these images may delay the process of image transmission in critical times. Image compression techniques provide

Aim of the present study was to explore antibacterial potential of the leaves of Cycas rumphii Miq. The leaves were separately macerated with methanol and double distilled water at room temperature to obtain methanol and aqueous (AQ) extracts. The methanol extract was further successively extracted with light petroleum ether (LPE), benzene (BZ), et

The slogan, “of the people, for the people, by the people” comes home. Bank Rakyat Malaysia (BRM) offers a different kind of retail banking. Bank Rakyat underwent a drastic evolution from a cooperative system of management to a highly creative market entity ready to face the very aggressive competitive market forces of the Islamic banking and f

Abstract. Tool life sharply reduced for all the carbide tools while increasing cutting speed twice (from 500m/min to 1000m/min) during machining cast iron. Though the productivity would be double at the speed of 1000m/min than that at the speed of 500m/min, tool wear increases to a few times which indicates that the inserts used are not suitable fo

Abstract. The fundamental features of electrical discharge machining (EDM) were discussed in this chapter. The machining principle and its outcomes were highlighted in this chapter. The input variable of EDM presented here are electrical and non-electrical ones. The output of EDM process are given in terms of the material removal rate (MRR), tool w

Abstract. During EDM work surface roughness can be influenced by using powder compacted electrodes. The present study shows that surface roughness of workpiece is higher when using TaC/Cu green compacted electrode compared to that produced by pure copper electrode. When using TaC/Cu green compacted electrode, more material is deposited on the workp

Abstract. The present paper reports on the influence of process parameters on surface roughness of mild steel during EDM using a copper electrode. Surface quality was evaluated on the basis of work surface roughness, micro cracks and thickness of the recast layer. Current, pulse-on time, pulse-off time and voltage were the variable parameters for t

Abstract. The present paper reports on the influence of process parameters on formation of micro-cracks and recast layer on mild steel during EDM using a copper electrode. Surface quality was evaluated on the basis of work surface roughness, micro cracks and thickness of the recast layer. Current, pulse-on time, pulse-off time and voltage were the
