Center for Sustainable Development – Batangas State University TNEU
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...
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...
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...
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...
This paper aims to simulate performance efficiency of carrier suppressed non return to zero line coding based FSO transceiver systems under light rain conditions with amplification units at 40 Gbps. The max. Q, BER and total optical power are simulated and demonstrated after FSO channel and PIN Photodetector Receiver under light rain weather conditions at maximum reach...
This study clarifies the data error rates optimization for OFC/OWC channels based on different transmission codes. These codes that are namely multi bits/symbol digital pulse interval modulation (DPIM), multi bits/symbol pulse position modulation (PPM), nonreturn to zero inverted (NRZI), 4 bit data symbol/5 bit code (4B5B), and Manchester for upgrading optical wired/wireless communication systems. The optical power...
Bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi) is an underutilized fruit usually grown in tropical countries and is widely added as souring agent in many Filipino dishes. However, it is undervalued and its utilization is limited due to short shelf life. Drying is one of the more popular and cheapest means of prolonging its storage life. This study aimed...
Conservation of biodiversity is critical for the coexistence of humans and the sustenance of other living organisms within the ecosystem. Identification and prioritization of specific regions to be conserved are impossible without proper information about the sites. Advanced monitoring agencies like the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) had accredited that the...
The challenging task of diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) tracts recently became a popular research topic, where most researchers performed extraordinary feats using numerous deep learning (DL) and computer vision techniques to achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) diagnostic performance based on accuracy. However, most proposed methods relied on combining complex computational methods and algorithms, causing a significant increase in...
