Novel Distributed Algorithm for Coalition Formation for Enhanced Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for improving spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio users in a fading channel environment. We use concepts from matching theory, specifically the stable marriage problem, to formulate the interactions among the cogni- tive radio users as a matching game f

Performance Analysis of Coalition Formation Algorithms Based on Matching Theory for Cognitive Radio Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We consider the problem of increasing the throughput in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio user in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. For coalition formation using matching theory, we analyze two algorithms, namely Gale-Shapely algorithm and one-sided stable matching algorithm. For the first algorithm fo

Thermal, Structural and Mechanical Properties of Melt Drawn Curloaded Poly(Lactic Acid) Fibers
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Turmeric has been one of the most treasured spices and is well known for having health promoting properties. In this study, PLA fibers were loaded with curcumin at 1, 3 and 5 wt% and were successfully drawn via an in-house built fiber drawing tower. The structure of the fibers was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Validity of Predictive Equations for Estimation of Resting Energy Expenditure Among Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients: Preliminary Findings
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Several predictive equations (PEs) have been developed for estimation of energy requirement but very few has been validated among mechanically ventilated critically ill patients in Asian population. Objectives: This study aimed at determining the validity of 14 PEs for energy requirement and identifying metabolic determinants that influ

Dynamic Fuzzy Logic Traffic Light Integrated System with Accident Detection and Action
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The increase of vehicular traffic in the cities is a major concern for the Traffic Management Systems worldwide. The way traffic flow is regulated in the cities directly or indirectly affects the citizen’s life. Thus there is need to optimize and regulate the flow of the traffic effectively to meet the ever increasing demand. This book takes an i

Enhancement of Lightweight Block Cipher Algorithms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research dealt with three problems; First, it is difficult to optimized three factors at same time. Second, there are many researches still trying to find an algorithm that has the highest level of security. Third, there is lack knowledge on key dependent S-box within lightweight algorithms. All these problems solved in three directions. The f

The post-War Reconstruction of Waqf Properties in Marawi City: Prospect and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It was the five months Marawi sieged between the Philippine Armed Forces and the ISIS group that brought the masjid and madrasah and other waqf properties into ruins and ashes. The government promised to reconstruct the city, but there is no guarantee that waqf properties will be included in the proposed transformation plan on the ground that these

Women on Boards and Bank Efficiency in Asean-5: the Moderating Role of the Independent Directors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Corporate governance codes around the world promote women’s presence in corporate board. The extant literature suggests women directors contribute to improve monitoring and advisory role of the board. This study aims to examine the role of independent women directors in improving banks’ efficiency. Using 102 commercial banks from ASEAN-5 countr

Empirical Modeling of Micromechanical Bending Process of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Forest Using Response Surface Methodology
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Micromechanical bending (M2B) is a newly developed micro patterning technique applied for vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) array, commonly known as CNT forest. This process is required to realize the various use of CNT forest in Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS). There are various parameters involved in M2B process that controls th

Development of an Autonomous Remote Access Water Quality Monitoring System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Due to the vast increase in global industrial output, rural to urban drift and the over-utilization of land and sea resources, the quality of water available to people has deteriorated greatly. Before the sensor based approach to water quality monitoring, water quality was tested by collecting the samples of water and experimentally analyzing it in
