Optimized Adsorption of Aqueous Cu (II) Ions Using Novel Microwave Extracted Sodium Alginate from Brown Seaweed (Sargassum Sp.)
Brown seaweed (Sargassum sp.) is one of the most abundant biomass wastes widely available along the Philippine coast and has potential for alginate production. This alginate is a natural polysaccharide, having potential properties in adsorbing contaminants, such as heavy trace metals, through to its properties. In this study, pure sodium alginate (Na-ALG) was extracted and...
Evaluation and Modification of a Waste Cooking Oil Transesterification Biodiesel Reactor Through Integration of Auxiliary Components for Process Optimization
International reports warn us about our growing reliance on petroleum, driving up the demand for fossil fuels to unsustainable levels in order to meet global energy needs. The core work of this study is to modify an existing biodiesel prototype through aeration and condensation. Initiatives had been made on the development of technologies for sourcing...
Biodiversity Mapping of MPAs in Papaya, Nasugbu
Papaya, Nasugbu is situated in Batangas and is located at the entrance of the Verde Island Passage (VIP), a marine corridor with high biodiversity. This study aimed to obtain baseline information on substrate cover and biodiversity of three Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Papaya, Nasugbu and store the information in a database and publicly accessible...
AUTOMATED SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION AND PREDICTION OF ALZHEIMER’S IN STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MRI BASED ON DEEP LEARNING TECHNIQUES
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of deep learning-based segmentation of the hippocampus and ventricle regions in enhancing the early detection of AD compared with fMRI functional connectivity analysis. Particularly, the study emphasizes on (i) identifying the early AD by analyzing the functional connectivity in the ventricle and hippocampus regions...
Discipline in practice and study: A cross-sectional study on grit and academic engagement in combat sport athletes; Disciplina en la práctica y el estudio: un estudio transversal sobre la determinación y el compromiso académico en atletas de deportes de combate
This study explores the dual role of grit, physical and academic grit in influencing academic engagement among student combat sports athletes. While previous research emphasizes grit within either academic or athletic domains, few studies have examined how these two dimensions interact to affect educational outcomes. The primary aim of this study was to examine the...
Investigation of crack tip opening displacement fracture toughness in repair welds of process piping
Process piping welds are important because the equipment is a key component in energy and chemical processing. The study assesses repair and original welds using tensile tests, microhardness, microscopy, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) at −29 °C and Charpy at three distinct temperatures, followed by statistical analysis and numerical modelling. Experiment involves the welding of...
Design and development of greeting card pasting rhinestone machine based on visual positioning
In response to the shortcomings of manual rhinestone pasting in the current greeting card making process, a fully automatic greeting card rhinestone pasting drilling machine based on visual positioning is proposed. Firstly, the structure of the pasting machine and the composition of each module were introduced, and a detailed introduction was given to the design...
Detection of smoking behavior by identifying cigarettes and key action features using YOLO algorithm
To understand the smoking behaviour recognition technology of YOLOv8, a smoking behaviour detection method based on human key points and YOLOv8 is proposed. Based on using deep learning for target detection of cigarette butts, human keypoint detection is added to determine whether smoking actions occur by calculating distance, angle, and period. This method first uses...
Design and implementation of an intelligent grass-square grid planting robot for desert wind control
In this paper, an automated machine used for grass planting was proposed. Double-layer structure is employed in this machine, which includes a storage unit, a separated screw conveyor unit, a belt-driven unit, a crawler-driven unit and WiFi communication unit. This machine has higher efficiency attributed to the optimized control program of desert wind and sand....
