Tool Life Prediction by Response Surface Methodology for End Milling Titanium Alloy Ti-6al-4v Using Pcd Inserts
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents an approach to establish models for tool life in end milling of titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V using PCD inserts under dry conditions. Small central composite design (CCD) was employed in developing the tool life model in relation to primary cutting parameters such as cutting speed, axial depth of cut and feed. Flank wear has been con

On the Optimal Window Shape for Genomic Signal Processing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The segments of DNA molecule, called genes are known to carry useful information in their protein coding regions (exons) and are responsible for protein synthesis. The most popular frequency domain technique for gene identification is by using a sliding window DFT technique to locate the well known period-3 property in DNA sequences. This paper inv

Effect of Sensor Specific Body Location on Wireless Network Routing Performance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The effect of locating wireless sensors on a monitored patient’s body on the performance of routing protocols is studied. Results indicate a considerable difference in sensor node forwarding activity, power consumption, and routing load as a function of sensor height. The Results motivate exploiting this criteria to develop new energy-efﬁcient
