Konya Ve Global Denge (Konya and the Global Balance)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tarihi, sosyo-kültürel ve manevi sorumluluğunun bilincinde olan Konya, yeniden dünyada ve Türkiye’de Kyoto İlkim Değişikliği Konferansı ile gündeme damgasını vurmaya hazırlanıyor. Birkaç yıldır uluslararası çapta Türkiye’yi temsil bahtiyarlığını kendinde toplayan Konya, ABD’nin Utah eyaletinin Salt Lake şehrinde ger�

Memleket’e Merhabalar (Hello to the Memleket)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Yıllar öncesinde duyduğum heyecanı tekrar yaşayarak başlıyorum ilk yazıma. İnanıyorum ki her yazar için yazmaya iten bir neden vardır hayatında.35’e merdiven dayadık… Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı “Yaş Otuz Beş Yolun Yarısı Eder” dese de bence 35 yaş ömrün sonbaharı, verimli olmanın, meyveleri yavaş yavaş toplamanın yaş�

A Comparative Longitudinal Study of non-Verbal Mouse Pointer
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A longitudinal study of two non-speech continuous cursor control system is presented in this paper;Whistling User Interface (U3I)and Vocal Joystick (VJ). This study combines the quantitative and qualitative methods to get a better understanding of novice users' experience over time. Three hypotheses were tested in this study. The quantitative d

Control Strategy for Automatic Gantry Crane Systems: a Practical and Intelligent Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The use of gantry crane systems for transporting payload is very common in building constructions. However, moving the payload using the crane is not an easy task especially when strict specifications on the swing angle and on the transfer time need to be satisfied. Various attempts in controlling gantry cranes system based on open- loop and closed

Precise Tip Positioning of a Flexible Manipulator Using Resonant Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A single-link flexible manipulator is fabricated to represent a typical flexible robotic arm. 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 a frequency-domain system identification method. A feedback loop

The Montreal Protocol: Developing Countries Import of Halons
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Base on the model of legal and illegal trade in CFC from Ivanova (2007), this paper empirically analyzes the affects of the Montreal Protocol on imports of Halons, and hence their consumption, in developing countries. We show that countries with high income level have decreased their import of Halons, but ratifiers of the Protocol import more Halon

Learning Algorithm Effect on Multilayer Feed Forward Artificial Neural Network Performance in Image Coding
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

One of the essential factors that affect the performance of Artificial Neural Networks is the learning algorithm. The performance of Multilayer Feed Forward Artificial Neural Network performance in image compression using different learning algorithms is examined in this paper. Based on Gradient Descent, Conjugate Gradient, Quasi-Newton techniques

Roll and Yaw Stabilisation Using Nonlinear Energy Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Automatic flight control systems have become increasingly vital ever since the emergence of airplanes. Automatic systems are not subject to fatigue and emotions as compared to the human pilot. As such, the possibility of human errors in flight control is minimized. Current automatic Flight Control Systems are designed based on classical control the

Mechanical Properties Study of pseudo-Stem Banana Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The source of banana fiber is the waste banana trunks or stems which are abundant in many places in the world. Therefore, composites of high–strength pseudo-stem banana woven fabric reinforcement polymer can be used in a broad range of applications. The objective of this paper is to study the tensile, flexural, and impact properties of pseudostem

Physcial and Mental Health Problems of the Elderly in Nursing Homes in Kuantan, Pahang
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aim of study: To describe the residents of nursing home for the elderly in relation to their socio-demographic, physical and mental profiles. Method: A cross-sectional study design was carried out. The elderly in two selected nursing homes in Kuantan, Pahang were interviewed. The respondents were interviewed using a structured questionnaire which i
