Fuzzy measure and Choquet integral are effective tools for handling complex multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in which criteria are inter- dependent. The identification of a fuzzy measure requires the determination of 2n −2 values when the number of criteria is n. The complexity of this problem increases exponentially, which makes

This study investigates Human Sciences (HS) students’ acceptance of IIUM.FM, their newly established online campus radio, by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical background. An external variable, knowledge, was added to the original model. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to gather data through a self-administere

In this paper, the tool life and tool wear performance of PCBN tool in end milling of AISI D2 hardened steel under room and preheated machining conditions is presented. The tool life and tool wear patterns were examined through tool maker microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the dominant modes of tool wear observed wer

Civil structures experience vibrations due to natural dynamic forces such as earthquakes and wind loads. Often, mass-spring system is used to reduce such vibrations. The mass-spring system can either serve as absorbers or dampers. Usually, such system is tuned to absorb or damp a single frequency of excitation or resonance frequency respectively. H

The chief aim of this chapter is to highlight one ofthe most important inventions ofthe 20th , century which was created by the Iranian professor Ali lavan. This invention is the gas laser composed of Helium-Neon Laser. In this chapter the theory of the gas laser, its main components and advantages will be dealt with in comparison to the normal las

Tool life prediction plays an important role in modern industry for sustainable manufacturing and product design. The productivity of a machining system and machining cost, as well as quality and integrity of the machined surface strongly depend on tool wear and tool life. Sudden failure of cutting tools leads to loss of productivity, rejection of

Tool life prediction is an important factor that has profound influence on the higher productivity in industrial activities. High metal removal rate is intended to reduce the manufacturing cost and operation time. The productivity interms of a machining operation and machining cost, as well as quality assurance, and the quality of the workpiece mac

This present study was embedded in strategic planning theories and motivational concepts and theories; the ancient Chinese strategic theories in relation with other researchers' theories and models that explain the process of strategic planning in educational sector. it defined leadership as the lifting of people's vision to a higher sight,

A brief study on the relationships between leadership and Islamic management (independent variables) and quality education (dependent variable). The study used quantitative approach namely descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Recommendation for future and in depth research were also presented.

The leaves of Coleus amboinicus from Indonesia (CAL-I) and from Malaysia, Coleus aromaticus (CAT-M), Pogostemon cablin (PC-M), Coleus blumei–red leaves (CBR-M), Coleus amboinicus– (CAL-M) Coleus blumei –purple leaves (CBP-M) were collected from different localities, freeze dried and extracted with aqueous methanol.
