Design Procedure of Robust qft-Based Controller for continuous-Flow Grain Dryer Plant
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a development of QFT-based self-tuning controller for a conveyor belt type grain dryer plant. Grain drying process is complex due to long time delay, presence of disturbances and plant uncertainty. QFT technique potentially has excellent solution towards this problem due to its well known capability to achieve robust performance

Biophilia: Residents' Connection with Green Infrustructure in a Town
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Green infrastructure is urban nature conslstmg of greenery and green spaces distributed in and around town. It facilitates residents' contact with natural environment that may fulfil their needs for nature in urban places. Human's inherent affiliation with the natural environment or Biophilia has been long hypotesised. The paper draws the f

Pharmaceutical Application of Solid Dispersion Technology in Improving Solubility of Poorly Soluble Drugd : a Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Together with the permeability, the solubility of a drug plays an important role in determining its oral bioavailability. Nowadays, a majority of the new chemical entities are poorly water soluble candidates. For formulation scientists, it is a big deal to handle those drug candidates in order to formulate a stable pharmaceutical dosage form with a

Vibration Based Predictive Maintenance: Common Rotating Machinery Faults and their Signatures
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Predictive maintenance method makes use of human senses or other sensitive instruments like audio gauge, amplitude meter, pressure/ temperature strain gauge, vibration analyzer, etc. In this maintenance, equipment conditions are measured continuously. It helps determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance shou

Heritage of Islamic Ethics and Contemporary Issues: a Call for Relevantization
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study addresses the subject of Islamic ethics from definitional and disciplinary perspectives. It highlights the need for relevantization of Islamic ethics to contemporary issues in a systematic manner which, in turn, calls for development of Islamic ethics as a complete discipline with ability to meet all types of challenges: conceptual, prac

Ethical Hazards of Modern, Advanced Medical Technology in Promoting Euthanasia: a Resolution from Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Proponents of active euthanasia argue that in cases where the modern, advanced medical technology has prolonged death of many miserable terminally ill patients, active euthanasia can put end to their suffering; hence active euthanasia should be permissible. Against this line of thought, the researcher argues that much of the suffering which termina

Killing and Letting Die: an Irrelevant Distinction to Bioethics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

James Rachels’s distinction between killing and letting die maintains that there is morally no difference between killing a terminally ill patient and letting him/her die. Therefore, active and passive euthanasia dichotomy is a distinction without a difference. Hence, if passive euthanasia is allowed, active euthanasia should be permitted too. Th

Observation on Responsive Ocv Variation Od zinc-Air Cell with Relative Humidity Content
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Zinc/MCM-41/air cell, in its dry form without the electrolyte, demonstrates humidity sensing property. A good linear correlation between the cell’s open circuit voltage (OCV) and the relative humidity content is observed. The system possesses the potential to be developed into a low cost microhumidity sensor. An ultra thin cell of thickness not m

Material Properties and Design Aspects of Folding Bicycle Frame
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A successful design of folding bicycle should take into account the function, material properties, and fabrication process. There are some other factors that should be considered in anticipating the behavior of materials for folding bicycle. In order to understand the relationship between material properties and design of a folding bicycle and also
