Translation as Interpretation: a Hermeneutical Inquiry Into the Semantics of the Scriptural Language
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Translation makes mutual understanding possible across diverse cultures and localities. There are different theories of translation each aspiring to objectively represent the original meaning or focus on important aspects of the original text. Our understanding and expression of, in particular, abstract meaning is largely seen in terms of historica

Immobilization of Tio2 with Cement: Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol and its Kinetic Studies
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Two types of TiO2 powders with water - to - titanium tetraisopropoxide (TPT) ratios of 1 (Powder 1) and 2 (Powder 2) were synthesized via sol-gel method. Both powders were characterized physicochemically before immobilized with white plaster cement for photodegradation of phenol in liquid phase. Aqueous phenol solution containing cement-bonded of T

Robust Controller Design for Uncertain Parametric Systems Using Modern Optimization Approach
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a robust feedback controller design for parametric uncertainty systems via constrained optimization. The proposed controller design employs modern optimization tools (Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution) in a single objective constrained optimization. The objective of the optimization is to search for a set of

de-Based Robust Feedback Controller for Longitudinal Cruise Control of Helicopter
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a robust state feedback controller tuning via constrained optimization using DE (differential evolution). The controller gain is optimized based on linear state-space model of the plant such that the closed-loop system achieves maximum stability radius. The desired control performance is specified by assigning closed-loop poles

The Need Preservation of Library Materials : Digitization
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In today's world of electronic information, librarians have directed their attention and efforts towards digitization. Digitization has been widely used as a method for conserving libraries' collection, in particular the special collections of rare books, manuscripts and archivals. Conversion to a digital format gives the users a new range

The Need Preservation of Books in Libraries : the Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Books and other library materials should not be seen as physical items shelved on the stacks, they should be regarded more for the important information they contain, and how useful this information is for users seeking to satisfy their needs or passion for reading these materials. However, these materials should be regarded as objects governed by

Education as a Catalyst Towards Realising the Development Goals of Malaysia: Case Study of the East Coast Economic Study of the East Coast Economic Region
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As contained in her national development mission, Malaysia is expected to become a developed and high income economy by 2020. A mission favourably referred to as the Vision 2020. The realisation of such a noble goal will not come on a silver platter. Perhaps this awareness underscores the identification of certain sectors of the economy by the Mala

Assessing the Unmet Needs Among Caregivers of Children with Disabilities at the community-Based Rehabilitation Centres in Selangor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Caregivers may experience the need for information, social support, a range of services and financial support in caring for children with disabilities. However, some of these needs are unmet. This study aims to determine the perceived unmet needs among caregivers of children with disabilities at the Community-based Rehabilitation centre (CBR). A cr

Robust Control Design Based on Differential Evolution for two-Mass System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a robust control design based on constrained optimization using Differential Evolution (DE). The feedback controller is designed based on state space model of the plant considering structured uncertainty such that the closed-loop system would have maximum stability radius. A wedge region is assigned as a constraint for desired c

Sintering of Hydroxyapatite Ceramic Produced by Wet Chemical Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present work, densification of synthesised hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramic prepared via chemical precipitation method was investigated. HA samples was prepared by compaction at 200 MPa and sintered at temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1400°C. The results revealed that the HA phase was stable for up to sintering temperature of 1250°C. Howe
