IIUM Tracer Study 2014 Follow-Up (IIUMTS2014FU) is a pioneering research project that has been initiated by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia (MOE). The objective of the research is to update the employment status of the university graduates in Malaysia. The sample is the graduates in 2014. The data was collected 6-months after their graduation.

Nanofluids with their enhanced thermal conductivity are believed to be a promising coolant in heat transfer applications. In this study, carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluids of 0.01 wt%, stabilised by 1.0 wt% gum arabic were used as a cooling liquid in a concentric tube laminar flow heat exchanger. The flow rate of cold fluid varied from 10 to 50 g/s.

English Language writing teachers have always corrected students’ writing, hoping that their efforts would help students to write better. Students, on the other hand, may use the teacher’s feedback to improve their writing. Teachers’ strategies in giving feedback have been researched extensively, as compared to students’ strategies in revis

In Malaysia, the authenticity of halal logo has been a great concern to its Muslim community due to the existence of different types of halal logo in the market. Due to this situation, in this paper, a detection system was developed to classify the authentic Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) halal logo from the unauthentic ones. All the disti

Thus, this study addresses the problem of the gap in affordable housing in Malaysia and the efforts being made to address the gap. T

Single longitudinal mode (SLM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser operation using a commercialized ultranarrow bandwidth optical filter has been demonstrated. A 2-m long EDF with an absorption coefficient of 24 dB m−1 at the pump wavelength is used as gain medium. The ultra-narrow tunable filter is used for selection of a single longitudinal mode fro

Visually impaired has limited movement using the classic white cane. Currently, there are many designs for devices that can assist the blind moves better in unfamiliar environment. Then, controllers were applied in the devices’ system so that it can improve the system’s efficiency and accuracy in dealing with real-time situations. That’s when

We examine the effect of gender diversity and board monitoring (board size and independence) on bank efficiency. Using a broad panel of ASEAN-5 listed commercial banks over the period 1999-2012, we observe that gender diversity in bank board decreases cost and profit efficiency. This finding confirms our concern that the appointment of female direc
