Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Potential health impacts resulting from wood dust exposure among workers in the furniture factories have been reported in many studies. However, most of the studies focused on pine, beech, teak, oak and red western cedar. There is still lack of studies pertaining to the health effects due to exposure to rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis

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

Study of Quality Management in Construction Projects
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research explores preliminarily the practices of quality management, management commitment in quality management, and quality management implementation problems in construction projects in the context of Malaysian construction industry. The research applies semi-structured interview approach with twelve project management practitioners. The fi

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

A Review on Constructs of the Practices of Quality Management
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Quality management is a management function that ensures the quality of the products, services and/or operation processes of an organization. It contributes to the competitiveness and maintains the sustainability of the organization. This paper reviews the constructs of practices of quality management adopted by researchers. Based on the literature

A Study on the Use of Measurement Software in the Preparation of Bills of Quantities Among Malaysian Quantity Surveying Firms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It is advantageous for a QS to be efficient in producing bills of quantities from measurement. Measurement software applications, as a useful IT tool, can help a QS to speed up the measurement works. In relation to the measurement software application for BQ preparation among Malaysian quantity surveying firms, the objectives of the study are to de

Sensors in Electronic Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In response to any change in the measuring quantity (stimulus), input type transducers or sensors generate a proportional output voltage or signal which basically depends on the sensor type in use. Usually sensors are categorized into two types: active and passive sensors. There are also some other type of sensors such as; digital sensors, deflecti
