Analysis of Semiactive Suspension Systems Using half-Car Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Several control policies of half-car 4-DOF semiactive system, namely skyhook, groundhook and hybrid controls are presented, as a continuation of the previous work on quarter-car 2-DOF model. Their ride comfort, suspension displacement and road-holding performances are analyzed and compared with passive system. The analysis covers both transient and

Hcv Genotypes in Haemodialysis Units: a Preliminary Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Serological verification among haemodialysis patients in Kuantan, Pahang, an East Coast town in Peninsular Malaysia is routinely updated for every 3 months by Ministry of Health. However, the determination of the HCV genotypes for each infected patient has not yet been attempted. This study aims at the determination of HCV genotypes a

Funding Research in Islamic Economics and Finance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents some preliminary thoughts on funding research primarily in Islamic economics. It bases its proposals on the fact that despite more than 30 years of research and publications in the area of Islamic economics and finance, the overwhelming proportion of attention has been given to the latter, with research in Islamic economics not

Women's Rights to Succession in Unregistered Marriages: a Reference to the Instrument of Wasiyyah
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is an essential requirement for a marriage to be registered according to the procedures as provided by the law. Non-registration of a marriage leads to the non-availability of a marriage certificate, being the main proof of the existence of the marital relationship. This situation results in various legal complications in claiming the rights, in

Muslim Reformist Action in nineteenth-Century Tunisia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article revisits the origins of the Islamic reformist movement that arose in the nieneteenth century. Tunisia was chosen because the spirit of reform manifested itself in the form of intellectual activity and socio-political action. The article highlights the features of the Tunisian experience before the French occupation in 1881, reveals the

Optimizing Time and Power Allocation for Cooperation Diversity in a decode-And-forward three-Node Relay Channel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Providing space diversity at mobile devices such as handsets, personal digital assistants (PDA), etc is costly and problematic, due to their strict space limitation. Recent studies, however, have revealed that extraordinary diversity gain, which results in the remarkable benefits of an increased achievable transmission code-rate and a reduced infor

single-Atom Entropy Squeezing for Two two-Level Atoms Interacting with a single-Mode Radiation Field
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper we consider a system of two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode quantized electromagnetic field in a lossless resonant cavity via l-photon-transition mechanism. The field and the atoms are initially prepared in the coherent state and the excited atomic states, respectively. For this system we investigate the entropy squeezi

Foreign Portfolio Investment Inflows and Economic Performance in Malaysia: a Disaggregated Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Based on disaggregated data, this study empirically examines the importance of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) on the Malaysian economic performance. The study adopts the vector error correction model to analyze the relationships between FPI inflows from major investing countries, namely the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong

The Effects of angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphism on the Progression of Immunoglobulin a Nephropathy in Malaysian Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism, especially the deletion/deletion (DD) genotype, is associated with the disease progression of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy patients in various studies from both Asia Pacific and European populations. However, recent studies within the same populations were unable to reproduc

Development of Mathematical Model for the Prediction of Microwave Signal Attenuation Due to Duststorm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Signal attenuation caused by duststorm is one of the major problems in utilization of microwave bands for terrestrial and space communication especially at desert and semi desert area. This paper presented a mathematical model developed to predict the microwave signal attenuation due to duststorm. The proposed model enables the convenient calculati
