Instructors' Perspective on e-Learning Adoption in Sri Lanka: a Preliminary Investigation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

E-Learning has become an increasingly popular mode of instruction in higher education due to advances in the Internet and multimedia technologies. The purpose of the study is to gauge the perception and views of the lecturers at South Eastern University (SEUSL). As it is an exploratory study, the case study method was undertaken. The result of the

Monoclonal Antibody Production: Viability Improvement of RC1 Hybridoma Cell in Different Types of Bioreactor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The study was done to improve the viability of the RC1 hybridoma cell in order to produce more amount of monoclonal antibody (mAb). By using the optimized media, the cell had been cultured in two bioreactor systems which were the MiniPerm and Stirred Tank bioreactor (ST bioreactor), and the results were compared to the one obtained by using the T-F

Study on the Effectiveness of Coir Fibre geo-Textile for Erosion Control Under the Dynamic Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the effectiveness of coir geotextiles for erosion control. In the context of sustainable slope management, coir is a cheap and locally available material that can be used to strengthen traditional earthen bunds or protect the banks of river from erosion. Particularly in developing countries, where coir is abundantly available an

Fabrication of Spintronics Device by Direct Synthesis of single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes from Ferromagnetic Electrodes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We describe an alternative method for realizing a carbon nanotube spin field-effect transistor device by the direct synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on substrates by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition. We observed hysteretic magnetoresistance (MR) at low temperatures due to spin-dependent transport. In these devices, the

Ethics in Cyberspace: Civil and Shariah Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethics and morality is debatable. But the concept of ethics always relate to moral responsibilities.It is debatable due to different views and different interpretation on what is considered as unethical and immoral conduct. Sometimes certain acts are not unethical or immoral in certain countries but considered as immoral in the other country. Basic

Monoclonal Antibody Production: Media Optimization for Enhancement the Cell Viability of Hybridoma Cell
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Media optimization of RCI hybridoma cell culture for monoclonal antibody production was carried out in T -Flask experiment. The three identified important variables to affect the cell viability were studied. By using Central Composite Design of Response Surface Methodology(STATISTICA v 6.1) has shown that cell viability was mainly affected by gluta

Early Result: Randomized Controlled Trial of Treatment for Intermittent Claudication
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: To compare angioplasty (PTA), supervised exercise (SEP) and PTA + SEP in the treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) due to femoro-popliteal disease Methods: Over a 6 years period, 178 patients (108 men, median age 70 years) with angioplastiable femoro-popliteal lesions were randomized to: PTA, SEP or PTA + SEP. Patients were assesse

Analysis and Implementation of Nonlinear Transducer Response Over a Wider Response Range
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In today’s automation systems transducers are making core elements in the instruments and the circuits used for measurement, control and industrial applications. The task of a transducer is to reproduce a physical quantity as an electrical signal which with the help of conditioning circuits, is transformed into a form that suits a corresponding A

Improving Tool Life Using Cryogenic Cooling
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The major needs in machining are high material removal rate, good work surface finish and low tool wear. These objectives can be achieved by reducing tool wear using proper cooling system of the tool during machining. In the present work a tool has been modified to apply liquid nitrogen as coolant through a hole made in the tool so that liquid nitr

Design and Implementation of an Optimal Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Genetic Algorithm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

All control systems suffer from problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations while going form one state to another state. Most of relevant techniques had been in the form of suggesting modification and improvement in the instrumentation or interfacing part of the control system and the results reported, remain suf
