What constitutes engineering ethics is the underlining question of this research. Hence, the objective of the res

Automobile Driver Recognition Under Different Physiological Conditions Using the Electrocardiogram
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a person identification mechanism of automobile drivers under different physiological conditions. A total of 16 subjects were used in this study from the Stress Recognition in Automobile Driver database (DRIVEDB). Discrete Wavelet Transform was applied to reveal useful hidden information in the ECG signal which is not readily av

Development of an rf-Cmos Surface Acoustic Wave (Saw) Resonator
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Surface Acoustic wave resonators serve as essential components in Radio Frequency (RF) electronics and transceiver circuits. SAW resonators are traditionally discrete components, fabricated on piezoelectric substrates making it incompatible with CMOS technology processes. This work proposes modeling and simulation of SAW resonators which are integr
