Centered on the theme “Leadership in Collaborative Innovations for a Stronger Nation” Supreme Student Council (SSC) Alangilan, the Office of Student Organizations, the Center for Innovations in Engineering Education (CIEE), and the College of Engineering organized the Sustainable Development Forum on the second day of celebrating the World Engineering Day 2023. The forum shed light...
BS Development Communication students in collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Development staged a one-day exhibit that highlighted the University’s sustainable initiatives in the achievement of the 17 UN SDGs. DevCom students featured various sustainability efforts through a wide array of IEC materials such as pamphlets, brochures, dioramas, charts, and diagrams as well as videos...
In such a brief period, the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) already infected large populations worldwide. Diagnosing an infected individual requires a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test, which can become expensive and limited in most developing countries, making them rely on alternatives like Chest X-Rays (CXR) or Computerized Tomography (CT) scans. However, results from these imaging...
In this work, a proposed Multi-Fused Residual Convolutional Neural Network (MFuRe-CNN) with Auxiliary Fusing Layers (AuxFL), a Fusion Residual Block (FuRB) both with Alpha Dropouts (αDO) diagnosed various endoscopic images of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions or diseases. The proposed MFuRe-CNN handled four cases, including colons with ulcerative colitis, polyps, esophagitis, and a healthy colon, sourced from...
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorderswith over 264 million people suffering from it. Improvement in screening depressive disorders can lead to earlier treatment. However, some of the depression screening tools today have constraints and could be difficult to administer due to a lack of cooperation between patient and professional. It is...
The demand for clean and safe water together with increasingly strict environmental regulations in both developed and developing countries has necessitated the need for a highly efficient yet low-cost water treatment technology to prevent the negative effects of pollutants on the human health and the environment. Nanotechnology holds great potential as a novel and promising...
Eleusine indica belongs to the Pocaceae family and is abundantly found in many tropical countries. Because of its anti-malarial, ntioxidant, anti-viral, and antidiabetic properties, among many others, studies are being aimed on developing time and costeffective methods that could efficiently extract its active components. This study focused on the optimization of the microwaveassisted extraction (MAE)...
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer and has the second-highest mortality rate in women among all cancer types. Accurate cancer diagnosis plays a great part in breast cancer treatment. The application of machine learning methods in cancer classification has grown popular and has provided an accurate classification of malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous)...
Andrographolide is a crystalline diterpene lactone present in Andrographis paniculata (AP) and considered as the most active and important secondary metabolite component of the said plant. Few reports are available regarding the biological activities of the AP plant extract. In this study andrographolide content of ethanolic extracts of different AP plant parts was determined using...
Deep learning and computer vision revolutionized a new method to automate medical image diagnosis. However, to achieve reliable and state-of-the-art performance, vision-based models require high computing costs and robust datasets. Moreover, even with the conventional training methods, large vision-based models still involve lengthy epochs and costly disk consumptions that can entail difficulty during deployment due...
