Nanotechnology Education at Undergraduate Level: Malaysian Scenario
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper shall firstly presents the nanotechnology research, investment, education, etc. in the developed countries such as North America, European Union, Japan, etc. Then, the present activities and future action plan for Malaysian nanotechnology were compared. This was done as Malaysia is a fast developing country with its promising vision of 2

Iris Recognition System by Using Support Vector Machines
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In recent years, with the increasing demands of security in our networked society, biometric systems for user verification are becoming more popular. Iris recognition system is a new technology for user verification. In this paper, the CASIA iris database is used for individual user’s verification by using support vector machines (SVMs) which bas

Comparison of Trichoderma Reesei Rut C-30 and Locally Isolated Aspergillus Spp. Cellulases Using Domestic Wastewater Sludge as a Major Substrate
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A lab scale study was carried out to produce cellulase enzyme using two types of media: Media B consist of domestic wastewater sludge (DWS), microgranullar cellulose and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and Media M consist of DWS, microgranullar cellulose, oil palm EFB and addition of methanol. The 3% (v/v) inoculum of Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 (

Focused Ion Beam Micromachining of MEMS
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper discussed focused ion beam micro nano machining to fabricate MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) such as optical elements, trimming of atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, nanopillar, micromilling tool, microcavity for replication is discussed. The trimmed AFM tip was tested in measurement and imaging of high aspect ratio nanopillars whe

Intelligent Dynamic Traffic Light Sequence Using RFID
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The proposed RFID traffic control avoids problems that usually arise with standard traffic control systems, especially those related to image processing and beam interruption techniques. This RFID technique deals with a multi-vehicle, multilane, multi road junction area. It provides an efficient time management scheme, in which a dynamic time sched

Experimental Study of Conventional Wire Electrical Discharge Machining for Microfabrication
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article discusses the investigation and optimization of the process parameters of conventional wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of a copper substrate for microfabrication. The effect of discharge current, pulse-on time, and gap voltage on surface finish were studied. The average surface roughness (R a ) and peak-to-valley height (R t

Reliability Evaluation of Scalable Complex Networks Through delta-Star Conversion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Exact reliability evaluation of large size complex networks becomes intractable with conventional techniques due to the exponential scaling of the computation complexity as the size of network scales up. In this paper we develop a scalable model for the exact evaluation of system reliability of scalable complex networks of the n-tuple bridge type b

Narrowing Development Gaps in Asean
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Development gaps happen when there is a difference in either the per capita income or other social development between countries or regions. The enlargement process in the ASEAN widened further the existing developmental gap. Using GDP per capita, HDI index and information technology data, this paper examines the extent of the developmental gap in

A Preliminary Study on Problem Based Learning and its Implementation in Architectural Education
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper explores Problem Based Learning (PBL) educational approach and investigates a case study where PBL was implemented in architectural education. It aims to evaluate the appropriateness of Problem Based Learning for the pedagogical improvement and development of architectural education. A preliminary exploration of PBL is essential to under

A Revised Proposed Methodology to Investigate Shari'ah Compliance in the Formation of Construction Contract
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study is being currently undertaken to examine the current practice of construction procurement with specific reference to contract formation and appraises the practice in terms of its compliance with the Shari'ah. The focus of this paper is on the methodology being proposed i.e. to study the practice of the offer and acceptance during contra
