Heuristic Evaluation of Interface Usability for a web-Based Opac
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usability of a web-based OPAC (WebPAC) user interface at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). It also looks at the applicability of heuristic evaluation in designing a user-centered WebPAC interface. Design/methodology/approach - Based on Nielsen's ten usability heuristi

Vibration and Position Control of a Flexible Manipulator
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A single-link flexible manipulator is fabricated. This flexible manipulator is modeled as a SIMO system with the motor-torque as the input and the hub angle and the tip position as the outputs. The two transfer functions are identified using frequency-domain system identification. A polynomial based feedback controller is designed to damp hub angle

self-Esteem Among High Achievers of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences Students
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A survey was conducted to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and high academic achievement. It is hypothesized that high academic achievers are more likely to possess high self-esteem. Fifty undergraduate students (41 females and 9 males) who received Dean’s List and obtained a GPA of 3.50 and above were contacted and selected as re

Effectiveness of Uncoated wc-Co and Pcd Inserts in End Milling of Aluminum Silicon Carbide (Alsic)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Metal matrix composite (MMC) with silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcement in pure aluminum matrix have found wide application in the automotive industry, especially in fiber reinforced pistons and particle-strengthened brake discs. Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcement provides improved mechanical properties, thermal stability, high temperature formabili

Keystroke pressure-Based Typing Biometrics Authentication System Using Support Vector Machines
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Security of an information system depends to a large extent on its ability to authenticate legitimate users as well as to withstand attacks of various kinds. Confidence in its ability to provide adequate authentication is, however, waning. This is largely due to the wrongful use of passwords by many users. In this paper, the design and development

Robustness Evaluation of fuzzy-Based Nctf Control of point-To-point(Ptp) Positioning Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The positioning systems generally need a good controller to achieve high accuracy, fast response and robustness. In addition, ease of controller design and simplicity of controller structure are very important for practical application. For satisfying these requirements, NCTF (nominal characteristic trajectory following controller) has been propose

Assessing Classroom Environment and Attitude of Technical Students Towards Mathematics and the Association Between Them
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The use of students' and teachers' perception of their educational environments can assist educators determine the preference of each group in teaching and learning and thus assist in improving the environment. This would hopefully result in more effective teaching and learning conditions that can thus improve students' achievement. Stu

Identification of the Local Stiffness Reduction of a Damaged Composite Plate Using the Virtual Fields Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present study, a damage detection problem is formulated as the identiﬁcation of the spatial stiﬀness distribution in a damaged composite plate. Full-ﬁeld heterogeneous curvature ﬁelds obtained from an optical deﬂectometry technique are processed by using the virtual ﬁelds method adapted to retrieve the 2D stiﬀness distribution

Incorporating Mathematical Thinking in Addition and Subtraction of Fraction: Real Issues and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Since the introduction of the new primary mathematics curriculum in Brunei starting January 2006, more teachers of elementary schools are seeking a suitable way of incorporating mathematical thinking in each mathematics lesson that they teach. For this particular purpose, teachers were introduced to lesson study and it is hoped that with the guidan

Development of Tool Life Prediction Model of Tialn Coated Tools During the High Speed Hard Milling of Aisi H13 Steel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the result of an experimental investigation on tool wear during the high speed end milling of AISI H13 tool steel by TiAlN coated carbide insert under dry cutting condition. Sufficient numbers of experiment were run based on the central composite design (CCD) concept of response surface methodology (RSM) in order to generate too
