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

Consumers’ Acceptance on Islamic Home Financing: Empirical Evidence on Bai Bithaman Ajil (Bba) in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bai Bithaman Ajil (BBA) is the most predominant mode of home financing in Malaysia since the introduction of Islamic banking in 1983. BBA is a deferred installment sale where bank capitalizes its profit up front in the sale of property. The concept is similar to debt financing which is often resulted in high cost. BBA as practiced in Malaysia is se

Factors Influencing Intention to Use Diminishing Partnership Home Financing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the acceptance level of a new Islamic home financing concept, diminishing partnership (DP), by consumers in Malaysia using the theory of reasoned action as the guiding principle. Design/methodology/approach – Cross sectional data were collected through a survey and analysed by means of

An Interference Cancellation Algorithm for fourier-Based and wavelet-Based Ofdm Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

An Interference Cancellation Algorithm (ICA) for both Fourier- and wavelet-based OFDM is proposed. In this study we investigated both an ideal case as well as a non-ideal case of our system. In the ideal case we assume the reference signal is an unwanted sinusoidal signal (the input to our ICA algorithm). In the non-ideal case, we assume the receiv

Solving Variational Problems by Homotopy–perturbation Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we consider some problems in calculus of variations. Homotopy–perturbation method (HPM) is adopted to obtain approximate analytical solutions to variational problems. The solutions are obtained in the form of rapidly convergent infinite series with easily computable terms. Numerical results reveal that HPM is very effective and sim
