Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper investigates ECG signal in different physiological conditions to identify different individuals. Data was acquired from 30 subjects, where each subject performed six types of physical activities namely walking, going upstairs, going downstairs, natural gait, lying with position changed and resting while watching TV. Then from the signals

Combined Influence of Carrier Mobility and Dielectric Constant on the Performance of Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

It has been shown that there is an optimum charge carrier mobility that leads to a peak in the efficiency for organic bulk heterojunction solar cells with mobility-dependent recombination rate. Hence, improving the mobility is considered as one of the ways to increase the efficiency. In this study, we investigate the combined influence of charge ca

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The recycling of post-consumer wastes, such as automobiles, computers and household wastes, is becoming increasingly important in today's world. There are various processing methods of solid wastes, such as jigs, spirals, dense medium separation and magnetic/electrical separation. In the jig, the separation of materials of different specific gr

A Study on Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Insertion/ Deletion Polymorphism in Cardiovascular Diseases
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common disease with significantly high morbidity and mortality (Libby et al., 1998). It is also one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, it was stated that CAD participates in over 30% of Malaysian adult mortality rate (Malaysian death profile, 2013). CAD occurs from complex interactions between vari
