The Effect of Fiber Content on Cotton Reinforced Albumen Composites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The effect of fiber content on mechanical properties and thermal stability of the cotton/albumen composites (CAC) were investigated and presented in this paper. The composites having 0%, 3%, 6%, 10%, 13 %, and 16% w/w of cotton fiber were considered. Hands lay-up technique was used to prepare the CAC specimens and dried for 24 hours before characte

A Review of Medical Error Taxonomies: a Human Factors Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Although a large number of medical error taxonomies have been published, there is little evidence to suggest that these taxonomies have been systematically compared. This paper describes a study comparing 26 medical error taxonomies using a human factors perspective. The taxonomies were examined to determine if they classified systemic factors of m

Security Threats of Finger Print Biometric in Network System Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Biometrics-based personal authentication systems that use physiological (e.g., fingerprint, face) or behavioral (e.g., speech, handwriting) traits are becoming increasingly popular, compared to traditional systems that are based on tokens (e.g., key) or knowledge (e.g., password). On the other hand, biometric systems are vulnerable to attacks, whic

Perluasan Proses Hierarki Analisis Kabur Untuk Keputusan multi-Kriterium = Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process-Extension for multi-Criteria Decision
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper discusses an extension of analytic hierarchy process which is adopted in fuzzy set theory for multi-criteria decision-making purposes. This method is utilised to overcome the fuzziness problem of the initial input data-sets using the concept of membership degree. The advantage of the proposed approach is applied in the hypothetical examp
