Improving Rice Farming Productivity through Solar-Powered Electronic Stirring with SMS Notifications
This research project aims to address the challenges farmers face in drying paddy rice to produce high-quality paddy grain due to a lack of manpower. The study presents an Electronic Stirring Rice Paddy system with SMS Notification and Solar Charging that stirs the rice every thirty minutes until it is dried, with features that notify...
Development and performance evaluation of a self-sustaining electric generator with automatic control
Energy plays an important role globally. Industrial growth, coupled with high system losses, has resulted in a major demand-supply imbalance resulting in an energy shortage with a devastating effect on the economies of countries. The pollution brought by the combusting energy source and the price-increasing-motion of fuel tends people to explore and use greener and...
Spatial Multiplexing and Hybrid Beamforming Design For 5G Wireless System
The current 5G network needs to achieve a considerably larger link capacity and ultra-low latency to enhance mobile broadbands and support emerging mobile applications and massive IoT. Thus, implementing MIMO-OFDM Spatial Multiplexing and Hybrid Beamforming techniques helped increase the information capacity using multiple transmit and receive antennas. At the same time, these can improve the...
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Estimation based on Filter Augmented Imaging
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is one of the vegetation indices widely used by researchers from different countries for measuring vegetation in inland areas. NDVI measures the greenness of a plant or area by using radiance and reflectivity of light from the sun to calculate the difference between near-infrared (vegetation strongly reflects) and red...
AI in Tourism: Leveraging Machine Learning in Predicting Tourist Arrivals in Philippines using Artificial Neural Network
Tourism is one of the most prominent and rapidly expanding sectors that contribute significantly to the growth of a country’s economy. However, the tourism industry has been most adversely affected during the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, a reliable and accurate time series prediction of tourist arrivals is necessary in making decisions and strategies to develop the...
Descriptive Analytics and Interactive Visualizations for Performance Monitoring of Extension Services Programs, Projects, and Activities
Providing universities with high technology-enabled automation tools to support the administrative decision-making processes will enable them to achieve their objectives. For an institution to succeed in its everyday tasks, it should come up with the emerging and modernized management services constituted, among others, by cloud, mobile, and business analytics technology. With this, the institution’s operations...
FPGA-Based Radio Transceiver Using the TV White Space for Disaster Response Operation
In this paper an FPGA-based radio transceiver that operates on a frequency band from unused TV white space – specifically 512 MHz – 518 MHz – is presented. The investigation was done to introduce an application of TV white space and FPGA hardware in creating a communication system for disaster rescue operations and in hopes...
Drying Characteristics of Herbs, Spices, and Medicinal Plants
The acceptability of food is significantly increased by the addition of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. These biomaterials improve the shelf-life of food, delay its oxidation, and impart health-promoting properties as natural therapies. The physical and chemical properties of aromatic and medicinal plants are determined by their moisture content since water is the most significant...
Understanding Employees’ Energy Saving in the Workplace: DR and the Philippines’ Realities
Understanding how employees act at work to save energy and the meaning for sustainability and environmental protection is essential. This research aimed to analyze the influences of Subjective Norms (SN), Descriptive Norms (DN), and Environmental Knowledge (EK) on employees’ intention to save energy (ISE) in the Philippines (PH) and the Dominican Republic (DR). The effects...
