From the Western value system, two kinds of ontological and epistemological standpoints are characterized in Management and Social Sciences research; realist ontology and subjectivist ontology or objectivist epistemology and subjectivist epistemology. The kind of ontology and epistemology a researcher commits to has inherent effects towards the res

In conducting management research, the researcher’s stance of ontology and epistemology in the contribution of knowledge is paramount. The acknowledgement of such stance is imperative as it may have inherent effects from how a research is conducted to how findings are reported and evaluated. This exploratory study attempts to provide a brief disc

The Shariah compliant bond defined as "sukuk" has become one of the most dynamic tools for capital mobilization in both the Islamic and conventional capital markets. ItseQ' rapid growth and development has proved it to be a viable tool for raising capital in the international capital markets through Islamically acceptable structures. By

Wireless systems based on IEEE802.11 technology became very affordable today, and allow end-users to connect to the network without cables. As most of multimedia devices have IEEE802.11 interface cards already built-in, or it can be added at very low cost, it seemsthat we have technology that fulfils our needs. Unfortunately these sounds too good t

Spirituality in entrepreneurship as an emerging area of interest has begun to generate attention from management scholars. However, most research in this area is from the western perspective. Until recently, there is dearth of research that gears towards spirituality in Islam and its contribution to the overall development of modern organisations.

A new technology for micropropulsion which uses thermoelectric elements to control the wall temperature of microthrusters is under development at the International Islamic University Malaysia. In this new technology,solid state walls act as either flow heater or cooler based on the local flow Mach number to achieve maximum acceleration of the flow

The rapid development and the economic growth of oil palm industry have exacerbated environmental pollution since it results in the large quantity of waste products produced from the oil extraction process. In many cases, however, low catalytic efficiency and instability of enzymes were considered as barriers for the development of large-scale oper

This paper presents investigation on the alloying capability of Cu-TaC electrode during electrical discharge machining (EDM). The electrode produced through powder metallurgy technique was used in machining alpha-beta titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) under different machining conditions. EDM experiments were conducted with distilled water as dielectric f

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are considered one of the best potential alternative power sources. It has both high efficiency and high power density. The air supply system dictates the performance of the fuel cell. It is responsible for supplying the correct amount of mass flow rate which is essential for ensuring efficient reaction of

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has been used in recent years to modify surfaces of the work materials to achieve additional properties in terms of hardness, wear resistance etc. This paper reports the investigations carried out using powder metallurgy (PM) compacted Cu-TaC electrodes to possibly achieve the surface modification. The main elec
