Video compression is essential when conforming to a finite bandwidth and storage space. It performs inter prediction wherein it removes the temporal redundancy between neighboring frames enabling higher compression rates. However, once an error occurred on a reference frame, all the subsequent dependent frames will be in error as well, making compressed videos sensitive to transmission error. In this paper, we propose a method of random intra-refresh rate (RIR) by randomly inserting intra-coded coding tree unit (CTU) to reduce error propagation and improve the robustness to transmission errors without significantly increasing the rate distortion optimization (RDO) cost. Furthermore, this study also made use of channel modeling and simulation using MATLAB and Simulink with the reference software and done by transmitting motion levels and encoding complexity 1080p resolution video over a modelled victim ISDB-T Transmission System with interferer IEEE 802.22 PHY Transmitter sweeping interferer’s power and center frequency. The proposed scheme, implemented using standard H.265 or HEVC encoder, is compared to a pure inter coding simulation with various bitrates, error rates, and refresh rates. Average PSNR improvements of 1.59 dB for 10% RIR, 2.99 dB for 25% RIR, and 4.65 dB for 50% RIR at 33% PER are measured and subjective quality improvements are observed which proves the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Insufficient understanding on the incidence of plant pests and diseases as well as on the appropriate cultural practices against them may worsen the damage and caused a tremendous loss on fruit production. The use of mobile-based solution will significantly contribute on the availability and accessibility of human expert’s knowledge on this domain. In this study, a convolutional neural network was used and deployed on an android-based mobile application to perform detection and diagnosis of jackfruit fruit damages caused by pests (fruit borer and fruit fly) and diseases (rhizopus fruit rot and sclerotium fruit rot). The sequential type model was implemented which is mainly composed of 3 convolutional layers, each activated by a Rectified Linear Unit function and followed by a max pooling layer, and finally 2 dense layers. The model was trained using a total of 2409 images, and when evaluated on a validation dataset with 516 images, a loss rate of 4.58% and an accuracy rate of 97.93% were attained. On the other hand, when it was tested to predict on another set of 516 images, a remarkable success rate of 97.87% was obtained. The result indicates that the application can carry out a reliable and real time assessment on pest infestation and disease infection. Likewise, it provides recommendations on fruit protection measures.
对植物病虫害的发生以及防治病虫害的适当栽培方法了解不足，可能会使损害加重，并对果实生产造成巨大损失。基于移动的解决方案的使用将大大有助于人类专家在这一领域的知识的可用性和可访问性。本研究利用卷积神经网络在基于android的移动应用程序上进行了菠萝蜜果实病虫害(果螟和果蝇)和病害(根霉腐病和菌核腐病)的检测和诊断。实现了顺序型模型，该模型主要由3个卷积层组成，每个卷积层由一个Rectified Linear Unit函数激活，然后是一个max pooling层，最后是2个密集层。该模型共使用2409张图像进行训练，在516张图像的验证数据集上进行评估，失误率为4.58%，准确率为97.93%。另一方面，当对另一组516张图像进行预测测试时，成功率达到了97.87%。结果表明，该应用程序可对病虫害进行实时、可靠的评估。同样，它还就水果保护措施提出了建议。

A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy. The main purpose of this study is to design, construct and test a wind turbine with fuzzy logic controller to manipulate the pitch angle of the blades of the wind turbine. The fuzzy logic controller serves as the main control for the pitch angle control of the wind turbine. It is programmed in such a way that the pitch angle of the blade is dependent to the wind speed and error voltage produced by the wind turbine with respect to the ideal target voltage. The parameters set in the program are based on a desired range of the output voltage of the wind turbine for a battery load and typical wind speed of the chosen location where the prototype will be tested. For the testing of the wind turbine, uncontrolled and controlled environments are considered. The parameters gathered for data are wind speed, voltage, current, computed power and value of the angle of the blades. The best trial with fuzzy logic controller and the best trial without fuzzy logic controller are compared to see the relevance of designing a wind turbine with pitch angle control. Through the outdoor testing with fuzzy logic controller OFF, it was found out that the best case happened when the blades are inclined in 45 degrees because it has the highest average power generated having a value of 86.98 mW compared to the 60, 75 and 90 degrees blade inclination having an average power generated of 78.98 mW, 62.42 mW and 17.88 mW.

The paper provides a synopsis and analysis of television white space (TVWS), its fundamental aspects, elements, and architectures. This shows disparities between techniques and technologies that may lead to potential gaps for TVWS advanced systems and exploration. TVWS are those unutilized bands that were allocated for television broadcasting. In particular, this can be used for interconnecting wireless users and sensors, especially those in outland areas. This intends to spread the determined system of interrelated devices and networks. The TVWS corresponds to one of the definitive approaches of dynamic spectrum access (DSA), which takes advantage of and adeptly manages the complimentary frequency spectrum for wireless communications. Cognitive radio (CR) in dispersion of DSA’s implementation at the physical, medium access, and control layers offers sophisticated methods for encompassing and interconnecting users or things. Substantially, this work also aims to survey technologies and standards for DSA and collate it with the TVWS approach.

Human hands are one of the greatest tools used in people’s everyday lives. Its job involves grasping, holding, moving, and manipulating various objects. Thus, losing a hand would greatly reduce one’s ability to work. Kapampangan Development Foundation (KDF) is an organization which provide an assistance to the less fortunate Cabalens of Pampanga; one of these is their prosthesis laboratory. However, KDF can only provide assistance for their lower limb amputees. To solve this problem, a functional prototype prosthetic hand was developed for the transradial amputees. The prosthesis integrated force sensitive resistors, motors, and myoelectric means of control which enable the user in performing activities of daily living (ADL). The accuracy of myo armband in reading myoelectric signals was tested and provided a positive result as the device can properly read myoelectric signals from an amputee. Using a descriptive method, the researchers were able to gather all the needed data in the study. Research instruments such as questionnaires, interviews, and surveys were used in order to gain knowledge regarding the present issues. The overall outcome was a prosthesis that met the initial design requirements and can perform basic hand functionality.

Vital signs monitoring is a customarily repetitive, tedious part of patient care that nonetheless requires constant measurements and documentations to avert significant adverse consequences. Routinely performed by nurses, measurements of vital signs are recorded at regular intervals for safeguarding patient safety yet some evidence concerning the frequency of noncompliance in vital sign collection as well as the inaccuracy of vital sign measurements is still at large. This paper covered the development of a patient monitoring device using hardware modules such as pulse rate sensor, sphygmomanometer, and body temperature sensor that communicates through wireless technology protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard for synchronous measurements of multiple vital signs such as body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure. Physiological data accuracy based from the Modified Early Warning Score was measured by Bland-Altman and Pearson correlation analysis, and user acceptability was inspected using IoT technology trust model with the aid of health professionals and patients from hospitals and diagnostic centers. Vital sign measurements by VITAL APP and health professionals correlated well, and the device was accepted as an important tool in patient monitoring.

Wastes in sugar production are recycled into fiber composites as a material in making ropes. A machine is designed, fabricated and tested to produce a sugarcane composite rope. The machine consists of a twisting quarter, matrix storage, stationary and rotational frame. The waste sugarcane fibers are filled into the feeders in the twisting quarter. As the fibers past through the matrix storage from the twisting quarter, it is mixed with wood glue solution as a matrix. Then, the fiber rope is collected to the bobbin. With an electric motor power rating of one-half horsepower, the machine produces a rope of 60 cm in length per minute with a diameter of 18 mm. The specimens used are sugarcane fibers, abaca fibers, and a composition of both fibers with wood glue solution as a matrix. The specimens were prepared by changing volume fraction and were tested for mechanical properties such as tensile and physical properties such as crystallinity. The composite consisting of 100% volume of sugarcane fibers with wood glue solution (2.1kN), and 67% volume of sugarcane fibers and 33% volume of abaca fibers with wood glue solution (2.1kN) as the maximum tensile strength compared to 100% volume of sugarcane fibers without wood glue solution (2.0kN), and 67% volume of sugarcane fibers and 33% volume of abaca fibers without wood glue solution (2.0kN). The present results would help develop natural fibers.

The focus of this study is to design a vibration energy harvester on a hybrid billboard and poster tarpaulin. Vibration energy is harvested using the vibration produced by the force of the wind on the tarpaulin with the help of piezoelectric generators. Piezoelectric element is mainly composed of crystals, it follows the piezoelectric effect that is when subjected to a mechanical stress or vibration, an electrical potential will be produced from its sides, whereas the potential is proportional to the magnitude of the force, and vice versa, whereas when an electrical potential is applied, it will create a mechanical stress or vibration. A microcontroller using an Arduino with a Do-It-Yourself SD Card Logging Shield will be used as a data logger and as a programmed controller for the hybrid circuit of the billboard. The relationship between the output voltage and the force applied on the billboard will be discussed. This study will contain testing in a controlled and uncontrolled environment to determine the different performance of the prototype and to compare the measured parameters such as voltage, current and energy at different environment.

Vibration energy is harvested using the vibration produced by the force of the wind on the tarpaulin with the help of piezoelectric generators. Piezoelectric element is mainly composed of crystals, it follows the piezoelectric effect that is when subjected to a mechanical stress or vibration, an electrical potential will be produced from its sides, whereas the potential is proportional to the magnitude of the force, and vice versa, whereas when an electrical potential is applied, it will create a mechanical stress or vibration. A microcontroller using an Arduino with a Do-It-Yourself SD Card Logging Shield will be used as a data logger and as a programmed controller for the hybrid circuit of the billboard. The relationship between the output voltage and the force applied on the billboard will be discussed. This study will contain testing in a controlled and uncontrolled environment to determine the different performance of the prototype and to compare the measured parameters such as voltage, current and energy at different environment.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"78 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84067601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integration of image processing in order to detect red blood cells (RBCs) in human urine enables technology to reduce medical technician’s manual counting time and error factor. The general objective of this study was to detect and count the red blood cells in human urine using Canny Edge Detection (CED) and Circle Hough Transform (CHT) algorithms. CED is an edge detection algorithm used in order to identify a great variety of edges in an image. CHT is one of the features of the Hough Transform. Specifically, CHT is used in order to detect circular objects. The basis of the CHT operation will be dependent on the circular edges detected by the CED. In order to identify a specific circle size, the minimum and maximum radius must be set. Particularly, to differentiate the RBCs from other cells such as white blood cells. For this study, the minimum radius was 4 pixels while the maximum was 6. Compared to the manual counting of a medical technician, the automated counting of the device produced a percent error of 9.561% and an average counting time of 0.4561 seconds per sample.
