Current practitioners use a measuring tape and wax pencil to determine electrode positions and mark them using the internationally recognized 10–20 system. This meticulous procedure is time-consuming and laborious as it is manual. Hence, in this paper, we propose a rapid and robust method to determine the optimal electrode positions using an optical motion capture system (Optitrack) and a customized stylus. The stylus affixed with reflective markers is tracked by the motion capture system as it is used to trace different regions of the head in order to estimate the head geometry utilizing the 3D coordinate data of the trace throughout time. The 21 EEG electrode positions are then algorithmically predicted using the acquired spatial coordinate data. With testing under various experimental settings, the accuracy value in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the predicted EEG electrode positions is less than 1 cm with half the amount of time needed. Thus, the proposed method is assured to be faster and decreases errors due to imprecise electrode placement and determination.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124923118","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}

It uses constraints in defecting actual events like road capacity, speed limit, car length, and traffic light delays. One of the Inverse Ant Algorithms' purposes is to optimize performance in traffic management, especially in the stagnation issue. On the other hand, Farm to Market Road (FMR) is a government initiative that connects production centers to the market. It helps farmers easily access roads that ease the burden of bringing their farm produce to the consumers. Its goal is to eliminate or mitigate food waste due to limited transportation. FMR was chosen through prioritization criteria that the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Agricultural and Fisheries Engineering (DA-BAFE) evaluates through physical inspection. The requirements were developed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which produces a prioritization list of FMR for possible government funding. Prioritization criteria like existing agricultural production area, potential production area, existing livestock production area, distance to the production area, distance to market, and the average daily traffic of vehicles passing the road are considered in creating a priority list. These criteria are converted as constraints in applying the inverse ant algorithm in locating the suitable road from the area of production to the market or network links in identifying the suited FMR projects as the priority for implementation.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131895354","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}

The electric field moves aqueous drops into contact and helps the coalescence of the aqueous phase. However, an excessively high electric field may result in partial or non-coalescence, reducing the efficiency of the process. In this work, we did an experiment to observe the coalescence of a charged drop under an applied electric field. The drop is charged and injected from a needle tip to merge with water at a planar interface, which is located below the tip. The results demonstrate that the aqueous drop can coalesce with the water plane with the electric field below 4.2 kV/cm. With increasing the electric field from a low value, the acceleration of the drop is enhanced, and the coalescence with the water plane becomes faster. When the electric field is increased to 4.2 kV/cm, the non-coalescence between the charged drop and the water plane occurs. Further increase in the field leads to the disintegration of the drop before the coalescence.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114156631","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}

The study aims to mathematically model how the brain responds to the audio stimulus, which involves the identification of differences in the AEPs by simulating binaural hearing. This is achieved by transmitting auditory stimulus in-phase in both ears, and tones which are 180 degrees out of phase in each ear. The study creates a range of models with the aim to determine the type and order of the models which provide the best fit to the AEPs, and to analyze the differences between the homo-phasic and anti-phasic models. The work discovered that multi-input single-output (MISO) transfer function models are able to fit the AEPs. Tenth-order models provide optimal mathematical fit; these models produced significantly greater fit than lower order models while higher order models produce minimal improvement. The addition of zeros also produced insignificant improvement upon the mathematical fit. About 75-95% of mathematical fits were achieved across all subjects. Analysis of the pole-zero plots suggest that the pole pairs with frequencies greater than 125 rad/s are more damped for the trials using homo-phasic auditory stimulus compared with models generated for trials using anti-phasic stimulus. This suggests that if the brain is processing binaural hearing, then the high-frequency poles in 10-pole MISO transfer functions should have low damping.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114278059","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}

The proposed device structure introduces the optimized DiPs at the source-channel (SP) and drain-channel (DP) junctions. The hetero gate stacked oxide improves the coupling between the gate and the channel and improves the ON current and subthreshold swing (SS). The presence of high-k DiP (Hf02) at the DP magnifies the depleted layer under the DP; as a result, the tunneling width (WTunneling) at the drain-side amplifies, and there is a remarkable decline in the ambipolar conduction. The presence of the low-k DiP (SiO2) at SP reduces the WTunneling at the source-side, improving the driving current of the device as the tunneling probability of charge particles increases at the source-side. By introducing the DiPs, there is an enhancement in the device's performance over conventional TFET in terms of lower SS, OFF-current (IOFF), and DIBL, higher ON-current (ION), and transconductance, and suppressed leakage current and improved ION/IOFF ratio.

However, the longer frequency of data acquisition from the existing remote sensing-based methods for post-disaster damage assessment can delay relief. In this work, we propose an approach to estimate the magnitude of the flooded region by analyzing the aerial images acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The proposed method computes two parameters: one based on unsupervised image segmentation and another on image similarity between input and flooded images. These parameters are then utilized to develop a model to estimate the flood magnitude in the aerial image.
