Accurate Geometric Stiffness Matrix Formulation of Beam Finite Element
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Alternate estimation of beam buckling load is presented in this Chapter. The standard procedure using a variational principle approach is usually utilized a cubic polynomial approach for the beam displacement shape such that the geometric stiffness matrix is a function of the geometric length of the element only. In the present work, the geometric

Axial Stiffness Matrix of non-Uniform bernoulli-Euler BAR Element
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter describes the procedure to develop the axial stiffness matrix of beam element having arbitrary variation of axial stiffness distribution along its span. To obtain analytical formulation, the stiffness matrix is constructed from the flexibility matrix. A Bernoulli-Euler differential equation that relates the load and deformation angle d

Opening the Black Box on Bank Efficiency in China: Does Economic Freedom Matter?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper provides, for the first time, empirical evidence on the impact of economic freedom on bank efficiency in a developing economy. We employ the Data Envelopment Analysis method to compute the efficiency of the Chinese banking sector during 2000-2008. The empirical findings indicate that the inefficiency of the Chinese banking sector stems la

The Nexus Between Financial Sector Consolidation, Competition and Efficiency: Empirical Evidence from the Malaysian Banking Sector
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

By employing data on 337 bank-year observations, the paper examines the impact of consolidation on efficiency and competition in the Malaysian banking sector during 1996–2008. We employ the Panzar-Rosse (P-R) H-statistic method to evaluate the degree of competition, while Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed to compute the efficiency of in

Navigating the Impact of Globalization on Bank Efficiency in China: Panacea or Pandora’s Box?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper provides for the first time empirical evidence on the impact of economic globalization on bank efficiency in a developing economy. Using the data envelopment analysis method, we compute the efficiency of the Chinese banking sector during 2000– 2007. The empirical findings suggest that the inefficiency of the Chinese banking sector stems

The Experience of Islamization of Knowledge at the International Islamic University Malaysia: Successes and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

From its establishment in 1983, the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has been committed to the integration of Islamic values with the modern fields of knowledge. This constitutes the core of IIUM’s vision and mission. The purpose of this study was to analyze the experience of Islamization of knowledge at IIUM. It involved intervie

Empowering House Purchasers: a Focus on Malaysian Tribunals for Homebuyers' Claim
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Being one of the developing countries, to have a proper and structured mechanism in relation to land, housing and property development is something that can be proud of. This is considered as part of the mechanism that will support the growth of these areas. This is also related to the confidence that public will have towards the property developer

The act-One Trial, a Multicentre, Randomised, double-Blind, placebo-Controlled, dose-Finding Study of the Anabolic/catabolic Transforming Agent, Mt-102 in Subjects with Cachexia Related to Stage III and Iv non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Colorectal Cancer: Study Design
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aims Cachexia, the wasting disorder associated with a wide range of serious illnesses including cancer, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. There is currently no widely approved therapeutic agent for treating or preventing cancer-associated cachexia. Colorectal cancer and nonsmall cell lung cancer have relatively high incidences of cachexi

Prediction of Surface Roughness in High Speed Machining of Inconel 718
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter to

Islamic Theological and Spiritual Foundations of Resilience: Implications for Counseling and Psychotherapy with Muslims
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Although spiritual and religious beliefs and practices play a central role in people’s lives and psychological functioning, there have not been enough attempts to study how spiritual and religious beliefs and practices could be operationalized and applied to enhance resilience. This is especially so with regards to the beliefs of Muslims. This le
