Rain Attenuation Prediction for Higher Frequencies in Microwave Communication Using Frequency Scaling Technique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

At a frequency range above 5 GHz, rainfall becomes a serious and major source of attenuation for microwave communication. Atmospheric effects play a major role in designing terrestrial or satellite-to-earth links operating at frequencies above 5 GHz. Raindrops absorb and scatter radio waves, leading to signal attenuation and reduction of the system

Time Weighted Model Reduction of Flat Plate Solar Collectors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the application of time weighted model reduction using cross gramians on a state space model derived from two partial differential equations representing the instantaneous thermal balance of a differential element of length along the absorber plate and the absorber plate to fluid heat convection process respectively of a flat pl

The Growing Prominence of Turkey in the Global Sukuk Market: an Overview
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recent developments have shown that sukuk (Islamic bond) is one of the most noteworthy driving forces behind the growth of the Islamic capital market and Islamic finance as a whole. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuk offers the investor ownership of tangible assets, usufruct of an asset, or sometimes ownership of certain projects or investment activi

User Perceptions of Rail Public Transport Services in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Ktm Komuter
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The needs for effective and efficient public transportation services are crucial to attract more people to use public transport, hence overcoming the issue of traffic congestion. Public transportation in Malaysia, including KTM Komuter, also facing various challenges, hence cannot offer the quality of services desired by passengers. This study aims

Carbon Nanotubes: a Review on Future Generation Nano Device
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper provides an overview of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The fundamental relations leading the geometry of carbon nanotubes are reviewed and explicit examples are presented. A framework is given for the symmetry properties of carbon nanotubes. The implications of symmetry on the electronic structure of 1D carbon nanotube systems are considered.

New Empirical Conversion Technique for 1-minute Integration Time of Precipitation Intensity in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The suitability of previously proposed techniques claim to be able toaccurately convert precipitation intensity statistics at longer integration times into 1-minute integration time statistics has been of great interest to many wirelesspropagation researchers. Measured data of precipitation intensity collected in KualaLumpur, Malaysia had enabled t

The 2nd Meeting of European Committee for Standardization: Project Committee for Halal Food
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Halal Industry is the fastest growing global business across the world although it is a new growing sector. Due to its hygienic, good quality, wholesome and contamination free principles it is a highly demanded emerging market force attracting not only Muslims but also non-Muslims around the world. Currently the halal food industry is estimated

Comparison of itu-R Predicted Rainfall Rates Against Measured Data in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents assessments of ITU’s predicted rainfall intensities against measurements acquired from a campaign in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Data for a period of twenty months were collected between 1996 and 1998. The statistical analyses involve generation of annual cumulative distributions. Predicted values generated using established ITU-

Utilization of Palm Oil Biomass for Treatment of Low Grade Malaysian Iron Ore
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As steel consumption increases, Malaysia’s steel production will increase, causing escalation in raw material consumption. Malaysia has no iron ore deposit, the low grade ore is an attractive alternative as a domestic iron resource. However, the use of low grade iron ore requires extra energy consumption. Development process for the utilization o

Quality Assurance in Contemporary Islamic Universities: Issues and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The inability of contemporary Islamic higher institutions of learning to produce human capital of the “right mind and sound thought” has cast doubt on the goals and objectives of Islamic Universities of the present milieu. Change is imperative. The purpose of this article is to critically analyze some issues and challenges of quality assurance
