Selective Nanofiber Deposition via Electrodynamic Focusing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we demonstrate the effect of electrodynamic focusing through a gold-coated PDMS shadow mask on the selective deposition of electrospun nanofibers. Under a suitable applied voltage, the PDMS mask repels the fibers from its surface while simultaneously forcing them into micron-sized holes and onto a collecting substrate. The presented

Development of Power Control Module in RFID Reader Circuit: a Mentor Graphic Simulation Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As the technology of automatic identification using radio frequency called RFID which is expected to be the alternative of the next generation barcode improves, concerns to the privacy infringement grow harder. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of communication systems for the localization and the identification of

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research was carried out to increase the availability of high quality affordable proteins by fermentation of agricultural wastes, which is one of the most promising breakthroughs of biotechnological innovations. Screening study was done to obtain the most potential substrate from agricultural wastes such as pineapple, honeydew and durian skins

Tool Life Assessment in End Milling Titanium Alloy (Ti-6al-4v) Using Pcd Inserts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the investigation for assessment of tool life of PCD inserts in end milling of titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V under dry conditions. Small central composite design (CCD) was employed to design the experiments and to develop the models which correlate tool life and the primary cutting parameters such as cutting speed, axial depth of cut

The Sources and Determinants of Productivity Growth in the Malaysian Islamic Banking Sector: a non-Stochastic Frontier Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper investigates the performance of the Malaysian Islamic banking sector during the period 2001–2005. In the first stage, the productivity estimates of individual banks are evaluated using the nonparametric Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). A multivariate analysis is employed in the second stage to determine factors that influence the pr
