Applicability of Bill of Quantities in Today's Construction Procurement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bill of quantities (B/Qs) is an essential document in a construction project which provides the detail of the contract amount. Historically, the formal form of B/Qs was initiated in the United Kingdom after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. They were mainly used by contractors for paying their workers and claiming payments from clients

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Shoot formation of garlic (Allium sativum L.) tissue culture was studied in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Gamborg's basal medium (B5) which are supplemented with a different combination of growth hormones namely 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) and a-Naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) with and w'ithout cold pretreatments A stem-disc of shoot tips was use

Plasma Cholinesterase Assay Among Malaysian Vector Control Operators Occupationally Exposed to Insecticides
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Increase in insecticide space spraying (fogging) activities in Selangor, Malaysia for management of dengue outbreaks submits vector control operators towards occupational low-level exposure towards hazardous organophosphate and pyrethroid compounds. Hence, this study was aimed to determine insecticide poisoning among these workers occupationally ex

A Study on the Practice of Staff Training in Quantity Surveying Firms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research aims to study the practice of staff training in Malaysia. The study is conducted in two stages. Stage one is the literature review. Stage two is the interviews with the principal and staff of QS firms. Findings from the study indicate that majority of the QS firms practice staff training. The QS firms have policy and budgets for staff

Development of Economical Maximum Power Point Tracking System for Solar Cell
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation system operates under various isolation conditions, which may generate several maximum output power points on the I-V curve of the PV array and raises serious problem on Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control of the system. This research concerned the design of MPPT for photovoltaic system by using PIC contro

Stability and Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Carbon Nanotube (Cnt) Nanofluid Using Gum Arabic
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This experimental study reports on the stability and thermal conductivity enhancement of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanofluids with and without gum arabic (GA). The stability of CNT in the presence of GA dispersant in water is systematically investigated by taking into account the combined effect of various parameters, such as sonication time, tempera

New Automated Storage and Retrieval System (Asrs) Using Wireless Communications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study proposes a new design of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) using wireless communication. The highlight of this project is to aid and improve existing warehouse management system (WMS) that occupies manpower, on-paper data recording and non-intelligent machines during the operation. The essence of this project is to impleme

Design of Fuzzy Based Controller for Modern Elevator Group with Floor Priority Constraints
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The elevator technologies are developed to serve the requested passenger’s floors with high consideration of passengers’ satisfaction and elevator optimal performance. Responding to the issue, this paper focuses on development of an elevator group controller based on fuzzy algorithm. By introducing a fuzzy controller in an elevator system, this

Design and Implementation of Fuzzy Based Person Following Mobile Robot
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tracking a person successfully and following robustly is a significant ability that requires to be overwhelmed by a service robot while it requires completing some human-related tasks. Such capability has desires, which cannot be met pleasingly using conventional numerical process. Most remarkably, the robot has to stay at a certain safe distance a
