One common part of the body that is no stranger to this process is the knee. Despite the clear images that it produces, it is still vulnerable to defects known as technical artifacts. Among the various types of technical artifacts, motion artifacts are one of the many common defects encountered in MRI images. The presence of such defects in knee MRI images could lead to errors in diagnosing and treating a patient’s knee in case that it is injured. This could result into the worsening of the condition of the patient’s knee which would cost them even more. In this research, an image enhancement program was developed that could minimize the effects of technical artifacts, particularly motion artifacts, on knee MRI images. This utilized computer vision techniques like grayscale conversion, edge detection, and morphological transformation. MRI knee images containing motion artifacts were used as input. For the output of the program, it was the enhanced versions of the images displayed against their corresponding original versions. Moreover, Python was the platform used in developing the program.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"120 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126311468","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}

Despite a large number of meal recommender systems that endeavors to incorporate the concept of personalized nutrition, the existing artifacts remain preliminary in the nutritional health context largely due to lack of integrated nutrition knowledge. Hence, a nutrition system called Virtual Dietitian (VD) was developed and grounded on the Nutrition Care Process and Model. Unfortunately, the beta evaluation (Phase 1) revealed some vital modifications that are needed to accomplish as per the feedback from experts. Hence, another sprint of development was achieved to comply with the requirements set forth by experts. This study reports the alpha evaluation (Phase 2) of 397 non-expert users on the revised VD on three factors: acceptability, usability, and quality. Using the scores from these factors, statistical analyses were performed to determine if there were significant differences between these scores and variables linked to users’ profile. Results show that VD passed on all factors, and there were significant differences between the scores and users’ profile (living condition, current physical activity, nutritional status, monthly household income, and average daily meals). Several recommendations were still offered on how to move beyond the existing features of VD and with considerations to relevant modern technologies.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123132788","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}

These consumed energy is generated by different providers such as the Manila electric, Visayan electric, and Negros Occidental electric cooperative which mainly provides for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Moreover, the country utilizes four main energy generation types namely, coal, oil-based, natural gas, and renewable energy. As reported in the Department of Energy’s 2020 Power Statistics Report, figures show that the recent COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increase in generated energy for the household sector. Inversely, the generated energy for commercial and industrial sectors dropped. This is due to the lockdown urging people to have a work or study from home set-up rather than face to face. With this shift in energy distribution may come cases of incorrectly measured power consumption that increases electricity bills of each sector and the companies involved. Therefore, this study aims to apply linear programming to optimize the allocation of energy generation and consumption of power plants in the country. The results of the program will then be compared to the results from and several mathematical models, such as the Gauss-Jordan, M-Method, and Two-Phase Methods to verify its results.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"49 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131230759","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}

There are different designs and structures that have been modeled and implemented. Soft robotics has taken its toll on many applications in the biomedical field. However, there is still ongoing research in modeling anthropomorphic designs. This paper presents a preliminary work on a method of modeling a pneumatically actuated soft robotic hand which uses finite element analysis with simplicity of homogenous silicone material. The model presented has been fabricated and characterized in order to obtain a response that could mimic the bending of the human hand. A simple PID controller was used to control the air pressure applied in each joint for the evaluation. A vision system was set up to track the node coordinates of the soft pneumatic bending actuator (sPBA) finger. The kinematic equations of a hyper-redundant structure were used to estimate the bending angle of each joint. The results show that comparing the bending angle characteristic of the actual prototype and the FEM has an average error performance of 28.9° or 32.67% at joint 2 and 29.9° or 23.64% at joint 3. In terms of air pressure difference, 47 kPa or 34.07% is achieved in joint 2, and 33 kPa or 24% at joint 3 were achieved. Although these differences exist, the model was still able to achieve bending approximately 90° at each joint which can be useful for the development of a soft robotic hand.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114900184","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}
