Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

By the year 2020, Malaysia aspires to become a fully developed nation. In order to realize this vision, formally termed ‘Vision 2020’, Malaysia must address nine strategic challenges identified by the government of former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. These challenges are: (1) Establishing a united Malaysian nation, (2) Creating

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

By the year 2020, Malaysia aspires to become a fully developed nation. This lofty vision, known as Vision 2020, was unveiled by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad on February 28, 1991. Currently, it is generally felt that the nation has achieved 50 to 60 percent of the objectives of Vision 2020. What needs to be done

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This inquiry explores Shaykh Ghazali’s perspective on Muslim beliefs and change; and his views on how faith can sustain commitment to holistic change while assuring a favorable interaction with the intellect, without jeopardizing human freedom or the laws and patterns of the universe. This study also examines Ghazali's views on the intimate c

Group Decision Making Through Nominal Group Technique: an Empirical Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As a decision making tool in a group setting, the nominal group technique (NGT) has been widely applied by policy makers in numerous organisations. Many researchers have also conducted experimental studies on NGT to explore its various features that make the technique distinguishable from other related techniques including traditional interactive g

The Analytic Hierarchy Process in Transportation Sector
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a well-known multi-criteria decision making method that has been applied to solve problems in diverse areas. The present paper deals with applications of the AHP in the transportation sector. We describe three applications of the AHP namely, (1) A governmental agency with jurisdiction over a certain area must

Prediction of Signal Attenuation Due to Duststorms Using Mie Scattering
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The present trend in radio design calls for the use of frequencies above 40 GHz for short links carrying wide-band digital communication signals. In order to utilize the new frequency band efficiently, signal attenuation studies due to duststorms is needed urgently for desert areas. This paper presents a mathematical model which has been developed

Causality Relationships Between non-Bank Financial Intermediaries and Economic Growth: the Case of Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The question whether financial development influences economic growth has been examined in a large number of studies over the past four decades. Theoretically, the positive effects of financial development on economic growth are credited primarily to the functions it plays in the mobilization and allocation of resources needed to undertake producti

Development of Duststorm Attenuation Model for Microwave Links
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Duststorms are significant meteorological phenomenon occur for a significant percentage of time in arid and semi arid areas especially at African Sahara and Middle East. Measurements at existing microwave links show that the duststorms can potentially result in serious attenuation in signal level especially at Ku band and higher frequencies with di

Design of a Low Noise Amplifier with Gaas Mesfet at ku-Band
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ku-Band low noise amplifier has been designed with the gain of 8.90 dB and 2.19 dB noise figure for satellite receiver. The parameters are optimized by using Microwave Office Simulator (AWR) Ver. 2006. The size of the monolithic chip is 0.316mm2. The LNA is designed to operate at 12GHz.International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineer
