Optimization of Surface Roughness in micro-High Speed End Milling of Soda Lime Glass Using Uncoated Tungsten Carbide Tool with Compressed Air Blowing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Soda lime glass is a very important material in diverse manufacturing industries, including automotive, electronics, and aerospace. In these applications, the glass surface needs to be defect free and without impurities. However, the machining of glass is difficult due to its inherent brittleness which leads to brittle fracture and easy crack propa

Effects of Sio2 Particles in Mechanical Properties of Iron Composite
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tronoh’s raw sand was converted into fine silica particles via a series of milling process. Addition of these fine particles into iron composite was found to modify its mechanical properties. The composite was prepared using powder metallurgy technique with varying percentage of silica particles; 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25wt%. The composites were sinte

Housing Development and Consumer Protection: a Study on the Issue of Late Delivery of Vacant Possession from the Consumer Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A delay in completion of housing project is a common phenomenon in the housing industry in Malaysia. Buyers are often forced to accept the fact that it is 'better late than never'. Late delivery has several negative implications to the customers which actually causes financial, social and emotional problems to the house buyers. This study a

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: An insult during a critical period of fetal development may result in increased risk for development of hypertension. Objective: This study aims at evaluating the effects of high maternal dietary sodium during pregnancy and lactation on their offspring’s blood pressure at 16 weeks upon 1 month of high dietary sodium challenge. Materia

Management Accounting Practices in Malaysia: a Qualitative Enquiry
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The conventional wisdom of the obsoleteness of traditional management accounting tools and appropriateness of the contemporary ones has not been empirically established. Several studies have been conducted to ascertain the reasons for such unexpected findings. However, these studies are majorly survey based approaches and there are calls for more r

oil-Price Macroeconomic Relationship in Australia and New Zealand: Application of Hidden co-Integration Technique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study examines the relationships between oil prices and macroeconomic variables such as industrial/manufacturing production index, consumer price index, real effective exchange rates, lending rates and stock price index in Australia and New Zealand within the framework of hidden cointegration technique and crouching error correction model (CEC

A Framework for Identifying Skylines Over Incomplete Data
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Skyline queries provide a flexible query operator that returns data items (skylines) which are not being dominated by other data items in all dimensions (attributes) of the database. Most of the existing skyline techniques determine the skylines by assuming that the values of dimensions for every data item are available (complete). However, this as

Design and Analysis of a New Hash Function Gear
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A hash function usually has two main components: a compression function or permutation function and mode of operation. In this paper, we propose a new concrete novel design of a permutation based hash functions called Gear. It is a hash function based on block cipher in Davies-Meyer mode. It uses the patched version of Merkle-Damgård, i.e. the wid

Molecular Characterization of monochloroacetate-Degrading Arthrobacter SP. Strain D2 Isolated from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Agricultural Area
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Arthrobacter sp. strains D2 and D3 and Labrys sp. strain D1 capable of degrading 20 mM monochloroacetic acid (MCA) were isolated from soil contaminated with herbicides and pesticides. All three isolates were able to grow onMCAas the sole source of carbon and energy with concomitant chloride ion release in the growth medium (19 mM). Strains D2 and D
