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...

Towards Personalized Medication Management: A Novel Approach to Medication Reminder Using Wearable Sensors and IoT
This study proposed a novel approach to personalized medication management using wearable sensors and IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The aim is to develop a medication reminder system that is tailored to the individual needs of patients, taking into account their specific medication schedules and dosages. The system uses wearable sensors to monitor the patient’s...
Modelling and Experimental Investigation on the Differential Protection of Transmission Line
Due to the significant impact of the fault on power systems and the failure of protection devices, power system operators and researchers have given reliability a great deal of consideration. The modern IEC 61850 standard is used recently to improve communication systems in digital substations and allow signals to be shared between the devices. Differential...
Spoken-Digit Classification using Artificial Neural Network
Audio classification has been one of the most popular applications of Artificial Neural Networks. This process is at the center of modern AI technology, such as virtual assistants, automatic speech recognition, and text-to-speech applications. There have been studies about spoken digit classification and its applications. However, to the best of the author’s knowledge, very few...
SDG forum and exhibit on WED 2023
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...
DevCom, CSD collab for SDG exhibit
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...
A 2.71 fJ/conversion-step 10-bit 50 MSPS split-capacitor array SAR ADC for FOG systems
This investigation demonstrates a 10-bit SAR-ADC with low power dissipation per conversion step at 50 MS/s sampling rate. The proposed ADC is featured with the split-capacitance array by using unity-gain amplifiers and designed for fibre optic gyroscope (FOG) systems. The buffers based on the unity-gain amplifiers replace the bridge capacitors of the split-capacitance array in conventional...
Truncating fined-tuned vision-based models to lightweight deployable diagnostic tools for SARS-CoV-2 infected chest X-rays and CT-scans
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...
Diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases from endoscopy images through a multi-fused CNN with auxiliary layers, alpha dropouts, and a fusion residual block
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...
Single-chip DC–DC buck converter design based on PWM with high-efficiency in light load
This research illustrates a DC–DC buck converter with a pulse width modulation (PWM) feedback control loop and capable of power supply voltage range from VDD to 2.5× VDD, which is equivalent to 5–14 V. It is a single chip with area of 1.379 × 0.813 mm2 using 0.5 µm HV CMOS process, where high voltage (HV) MOSFETs, a Dead-time detector, a...
