Developing an LTE Learning Material: Experiences from a University in a Developing Country
Remote learning has increased, especially in engineering courses that require digital platforms, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the current curriculum doesn’t emphasize telecommunications, making LTE principles difficult for students to understand. To address this issue, researchers developed a 4G LTE learning system using MATLAB LTE Toolbox. MATLAB’s Live Scripts, Scripts, and App Designer implement...
Self-concept and social mobility of female faculty in higher education institution
Self-concept is one of the keys in a person’s social mobility. It will help him either to succeed or fail. This study determined the self-concept and the social mobility of the female faculty at Batangas State University JPLPC-Malvar, Philippines. Respectively, it dealt with the following: the respondents’ profile in terms of status of employment, department...
Haar-CNN Cascade for Facial Expression Recognition
Recognizing emotions can aid in the interpretation and communication of non-verbal communication. Although deep neural networks perform well in automatically extracting and learning high-level representations of facial features from large amounts of multidimensional data, there is still a need for a face detection model to work fast for real-time applications. This working experiment investigates the...
Comparative analysis in the prediction of early-stage diabetes using multiple machine learning techniques
Diabetes is caused by high levels from blood glucose and it is characterized as a chronic disease, and also will disrupt fat and protein absorption. The levels rise from blood glucose because it cannot be burned in the cells from the pancreas because of the deficiency of insulin secretion or the insulin produce by the...
Renal Cyst Detection in Abdominal MRI Images using Deep Learning Segmentation
Renal cysts are categorized as simple cysts and complex cysts. Simple cysts are harmless and complicated cysts are cancerous and leading to a dangerous situation. The study aims to implement a deep learning-based segmentation that uses the Renal images to segment the cyst, detecting the size of the cyst and assessing the state of cyst...
A 210-MHz 4.23 fJ Energy/Bit 1-kb Asymmetrical Schmitt-Trigger-Based SRAM Using 40-nm CMOS Process
This brief introduces a 1-kb SRAM design that operates at low power utilizing asymmetrical Schmitt-trigger based SRAM cells. By adopting an asymmetrical design, the SRAM cell performance in terms of hold, access, and write capabilities were enhanced. A power reduction and speed compensation circuit is presented in the design. The SRAM is implemented and fabricated...
Development and Validation of a Survey Instrument on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) Regarding the Educational Use of ChatGPT among Preservice Teachers in the Philippines
ChatGPT has gained popularity among Philippine educational institutions due to its versatility and usefulness in academic activities. However, educators have raised concerns about the ethical issues, academic dishonesty, and technology dependence associated with its use. This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument called KAP-CQ39 that assesses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of preservice...
S-invariant Termwise Addition of Reactions Via Reaction Vector Multiples (STAR-RVM) Transformation
Interest in connecting Chemical Reactions Network Theory (CRNT) and evolutionary game theory (EGT) arise viewing the tools of network in the analysis of evolutionary games. Here, the evolution of population species is studied as a biological phenomenon and describing the rate of such changes through a replicator system becomes a focus. A set of polynomial...
Assessing the Compliance of a Coastal Municipality to the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003)
To bring about a significant change in the SWM situation in the Philippines, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003) was enacted to provide local government units with frameworks that would help them solve the looming garbage problem in the country. Despite the presence of the decree, managing wastes remains a problem...
