The Use of Zakat Revenue in Islamic Financing: Jurisprudential Debate and Practical Feasibility
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recent juristic debate rages around the possibility of using zakah revenue in Islamic law of public finance to better realize its intended poverty eradication goal. At the theoretical level, both the proponents and opponents employ extensive juristic argumentations to support their points of contention. The thrust of the proponents argument is that

G2c Adoption of e-Government in Malaysia: Trust, Perceived Risk and Political self-Efficacy
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Electronic government or e-government has long been known as a breakthrough of a new form of communication and transaction between the government and citizens, the government and industries, and among the government agencies. Simply, e-government is meant not only to help the government to accomplish its daily administrative activities but also to

Tracking Control of a Nanopositioner Using Complementary Sensors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Piezoelectric tube actuators are widely used in atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for nanoscale positioning. There has been a consistent effort to increase the scan speed of these actuators using feedback control techniques. A feedback controller requires a measurement of the scanner's deflection, which is often provided by a

Making a Commercial Atomic Force Microscope More Accurate and Faster Using Positive Position Feedback Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents experimental implementation of a positive position feedback (PPF) control scheme for vibration and cross-coupling compensation of a piezoelectric tube scanner in a commercial atomic force microscope (AFM). The AFM is a device capable of generating images with extremely high resolutions down to the atomic level. It is also being

Improvement of Accuracy and Speed of a Commercial Afm Using Positive Position Feedback Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a device capable of generating topographic images of sample surfaces with extremely high resolutions down to the atomic level. It is also being used in applications that involve manipulation of matter at a nanoscale. Early AFMs were operated in open loop. As a result, they were susceptible to piezoelectric creep

Dynamic Modeling of Intelligent air-Cushion Tracked Vehicle for Swamp Peat
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Modeling of the dynamic behavior and motion are renewed interest in the improved tractive performance of an intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle (IACTV). This paper presents a new dynamical model for the forces on the developed small scale intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle moving over swamp peat. The air cushion system partially supports t

Combined Water and Power Plant (Cwpp) — a Novel Desalination Technology
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In recent years, an enormous increase of fuel cost and greater demand for fresh water have imposed tremendous challenges for researchers to pursue a drive towards more energy-efficient desalination technology. In the search for a more energy-efficient desalination process, the next generation plants will use a combination of membrane processes with

Conversion from English Deeds System to Torrens System of Title Registration in Penang and Malacca: Process and Problems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research was aimed at examining the process of converting the land administration system prevalent in Penang and Malacca to the Torrens System enforce in the rest of the Peninsular Malaysian states. The introduction of the Torrens system to the states of Penang and Malacca where the English deeds system was the system of land administration, d

Incorporation of Islamic Principles to the Land Tenure System in West Peninsular Malaysia: Prospect and Progress
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is undeniable that the early Malay land tenure system is a fusion between the Islamic principles and Malay customary law. However, with the advent of the colonial administration and introduction of the English common law into the Malay states legal system, brought about the eradication of the principles of Islamic law. Thus, Islamic law at prese
