Due to the huge advancement of wireless technologies, the radio spectrum is one of the most heavily used and costly natural resources. Cognitive Radio (CR) is a promising technology to solve the problem of radio spectrum shortage and spectrum underutilization by enabling unlicensed users to opportunistically access the available licensed bands in a

Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. pernah bersabda “Apabila engkau hendak bersolat berwudhu’lah dengan sempurna” (al-Bukhari, 5897; Muslim, 397). Wudhu’ merupakan rutin harian penting bagi kaum Muslimin yang dilakukan sekurang-kurangnya lima kali sehari. Berdasarkan kajian lepas (rujuk Rozaiza, 2002; Al-Mughalles et al, 2012; Johari, 2013), Muslim hari i

Classroom assessment practices (CAPs) can significantly impact students’ academic success. This study was aimed at exploring CAPs performed by an academic staff at the Centre for Foundation Studies, International Islamic University Malaysia. This grounded-theory study deployed a face-to-face interview in order to gain insights into the informant�

Children’s right to express their views in all matters affecting their lives is regarded as one of the important factors that concern their welfare. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and social science research support children's right to participate in family law proceedings, particularly in decisions of custody disput

Adoption is one of the means to protect children who have been deprived of parental care. The United Nation Convention on Rights of Child guaranteed such protection and as in other action concerning children, the principle of best interest of the child must be primarily considered by the State parties when dealing with the process of adoption. In M

With the breadth of applications and analysis performed over the last few decades, it would not be an exaggeration to call piezoelectric materials “the top of the crop” of smart materials. Piezoelectric materials have emerged as the most researched materials for practical applications among the numerous smart materials. They owe it to a few mai

In high-speed fluid dynamics, base pressure controls find many engineering applications, such as in the automobile and defense industries. Several studies have been reported on flow control with sudden expansion ducts. Passive control was found to be more beneficial in the last four decades and is used in devices such as cavities, ribs, aerospikes,

This paper investigates the structural behavior of the wing subjected to the aerodynamic loads during the flight using finite element analysis of wing flexure deformation. In this work, three different types of wing models are established. Material characteristics, the wing structure, and 1 design principle have been taken into account. The assembl

The world’s need for energy is increasing with the passage of time and the substantial energy demand of the world is met by fossil fuels. Biodiesel has been considered as a replacement for fossil fuels in automotive engines. Biodiesels are advantageous because they provide energy security, they are nontoxic, renewable, economical, and biodegradab

The understanding of Muslim scientists can play an essential role in the efforts of the Islamization of knowledge. Unfortunately, all sciences, including today's engineering and technology, which flourished in the medieval era at Muslim scholars' hands, are mostly empty of Islamic attitude and spirit. Today's Muslim scientists are oblig
