The presence of advanced technologies had brought to the development of acoustic wave sensors. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), an acoustic wave sensor has provided a good sensing performance which enables it to be extensively used in numerous fields. The performance of the sensor is related to the material used as the sensing layer for the adsor

For any digital watermarking system many requirements should be available. The most important requirements are imperceptibility (quality), and robustness. Many studies have tried to enhance these requirements by using different techniques and methods. In this study, a trade-off between the two requirements to find the optimal value based on the exi

Improvement in sensing layer properties of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors are crucial in developing gas sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this work, we study the use of chitosan thin film as the sensing layer on a QCM sensor to identify the presence of volatile organic compounds specifically isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The e

Background: Case method (CM) as a teaching methodology to promote active learning and the professional development of students has been successfully employed in a number of fields other than medicine. In the Medical Programme of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) we examined the application of CM in the teaching of disciplines in vari

The Qur’an is the main source of revealed knowledge that address various principles of human life including cleanliness. In many aspects, the injunction and application of cleanliness in several verses describe its great spiritual and ritual dimensions. Cleanliness in the Quran involves principles on inner and outer purification, tangible and int

Teaching philosophy continues to represent a hot issue of debate among Muslim scholars. Many leading Muslim scholars have contributed enormously to this debate including al-Ghazali (d. 1111) and Ibn Rushd (d. 1138). Ibn Khaldun, another noteworthy scholar, adopted al-Ghazali’s criticism of the advocates of the transmission of Greek philosophy. Ib

Language Processing Unit (LPU) is a system built to process text-based data to comply with the rules of sign language grammar. This system was developed as an important part of the sign language synthesizer system. Sign language (SL) uses different grammatical rules from the spoken/verbal language, which only involves the important words that Heari

In this paper, a new method of biomedical signal classification using complex- valued pseudo autoregressive (CAR) modeling approach has been proposed. The CAR coefficients were computed from the synaptic weights and coefficients of a split weight and activation function of a feedforward multilayer complex valued neural network. The performance of t

The recent introduction of Islamic Gold (Dinar) and Silver (Dirham) coins around the world has brought about a new paradigm in the world financial, economic and monetary system. The importance of accurately predicting the price of these coins ahead of time will contribute significantly to its usage for: daily transaction, investment and development

Human like sovereign system that is capable to adapt itself with the changes of its environment and continue to reach its goal is considered as Humanoid Robot. In recent years much progress has been done in the design and development of humanoid and still there have a lot of opportunities in this field. Strategies of lower torso are concern for man
