Determination of Surface Activity of Crude Extracts from Various Plants
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Natural rubber latex and various milks produced by mammals are stabilised by proteins, and are examples of natural colloidal systems. In fact, milk casein has been for a long while isolated, to be later incorporated in manufactured products. Numerous work involving natural substances in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and toiletries have been reported a

Prospects for Future Economic Integration Among the League of Arab States
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The League of Arab States (LAS) was formed in 1945 with the objective of unifying the Arab countries through political, educational, cultural and economic cooperation. In its efforts to expand the traditional focus of attention beyond political issues, it has placed an equally important attention on economic matters whereby the Economic and Social

Design and Evaluation of a pressure-Based Typing Biometric Authentication System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The design and preliminary evaluation of a pressure sensor-based typing biometrics authentication system (PBAS) is discussed in this paper. This involves the integration of pressure sensors, signal processing circuit, and data acquisition devices to generate waveforms, which when concatenated, produce a pattern for the typed password. The system ge

Phase Diagram of the Three States Potts Model with Next Nearest Neighbour Interactions on the Bethe Lattice
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We have found an exact phase diagram of the Potts model with competing nearest neighbor and next nearest neighbor interactions on the Bethe lattice of order two. The diagram consists of five phases: ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, modulated, antiphase and paramodulated, all meeting at the multicritical point (T=0, p=1/3). We report on a new phase whic

Wireless Cooperative Networks: Partnership Selection and Fairness
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents analytical results that formalize fair-and-effective partnership selection for a distributed wireless network where user cooperation is employed to enhance the network performance and each individual user has the responsibility of identifying an appropriate partner, or makes a decision if a partnership opportunity is offered by

Fault Tolerant Hardware for High Performance Signal Processing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The approach described in this paper uses an array of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices to implement a fault tolerant hardware system that can be compared to the running of fault tolerant software on a traditional processor. Fault tolerance is achieved is achieved by using FPGA with on the fly partial programmability feature. Major consi

Extensive Reading with Adult Learners of English as a Second Language: Habits and Attitudes of a Group of Malaysian pre-University Students
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Many language instructors acknowledge the important role extensive reading plays in the acquisition of a second language. There are many ways in which an extensive reading programme can be intergrated into a language curriculum. This study reports of feedback from 2,461 learners of English as a second language in a pre-university programme where ex

Faktor Jantina, Etnik dan Jurusan Terhadap Gaya Pembelajaran di Kalangan Pelajar Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Indeks Gaya Pembelajaran ini adalah perkakas yang digunakan untuk mengesan kecenderungan pelajar mendapatkan maklumat. Dalam kajian ini, faktor jantina, pilihan jurusan, dan etnik terhadap gaya pembelajaran ditinjau dan dihuraikan. Tinjauan mendapati tiada perbezaan ketara di antara pelajar lelaki dan perempuan dalam gaya pembelajaran. Sungguhpun p

The Problem in problem-Based Learning (Pbl)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Designing a problem that can meet the course objectives is an essential ingredient in the success of a pbl classroom. While many admit that pbl offer many advantages in terms of encouraging learner autonomy, active learner participation and involvement in their own learning processes, constraints of time frequently deter practitioners from choosing

A Conceptual Framework for Studying the Effects of cross-Cultural Training, Expatriates' Personality, self-Efficacy, and Social Network Composition on Adjustment and Performance in Overseas Assignments
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a conceptual framework for conducting empirical investigations to study the effects of cross-cultural training, expatriates' personality, self-efficacy, and social network compositions on their adjustments and performance in overseas assignments. Developed based on extensive reviews of literature, and findings from prior res
