With this, buildings in Valenzuela City can get affected by such natural disasters more specifically essential structures such as school buildings. To identify specific locations of such structures that are vulnerable to earthquake within the city, Rapid Visual Screening was carried out. Seismic vulnerability and susceptibility of elementary and secondary school buildings of the second district of Valenzuela were mapped for high tendencies of failures that are in need of renovation, retrofitting or total reconstruction. Results showed that vast majority of the assessed school buildings got a final score higher than the cut off limit of 2.0. Public school buildings in Valenzuela have a low to medium range of vulnerability in terms of the impact of an earthquake.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130452652","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}

Detecting signs of distraction is an essential component in lessening the possibility of road accidents. This paper presents a model that detects a Grab driver’s lapse indicator that is mainly focused on visual distraction using a non-intrusive camera-based approach in hopes of contributing to the improvement of road safety technologies. The model primarily applies the concept of eye gaze to detect distraction cues. Manual annotation was conducted to compare it with the model’s predictions to assess the model’s effectivity. OpenFace was used to detect action units from the videos. The algorithm designed for the model reads the output file to fully detect distraction cues and apply time constraints. K-nearest neighbor was used to train the model and was validated by Kfold cross validation and has an 84% F-measure to indicate the detecting power.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117045561","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}

However, operation and maintenance of these plants pose a threat to the water quality of rivers. Diversion scheme adopted in these plants can substantially modify river ecosystems instream resulting to changes in the water quality parameters. These changes degrade the river ecosystem, thereby, compromising the health and growth of aquatic species. This study aimed to analyze water quality parameters used to evaluate the compliance to water quality standards. Based on DENR allowable values, change in temperature should not exceed 30 C and dissolved oxygen should not be lower than 5 mg/l. Regression analysis was used to establish relationships in analyzing water quality parameters. With the use of various regression machine learning models, the water quality dataset was modelled to predict the change in temperature and dissolved oxygen downstream using water level downstream and water temperature downstream as predictors. Based on the Stochastic Gradient Boosting Model, while the water level downstream decreases and the water temperature downstream increases, the change in temperature increases. Based on the Linear Model or the Ridge Model, while the water level downstream decreases and the water temperature downstream increases, the dissolved oxygen downstream relatively decreases.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117353185","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 bi-LSTM extracts annotations of frame by summarizing information from both direction. The attention mechanism accepts the annotations to extracts such frames that are important to the voice activity judgement and aggregates the representation of those informative frames to form an attention distribution vector. It is used as features for frame classification by logistic classification approach. We constructed four comparative models to perform experiments with TIMIT corpus and noise signals. The excrement shows that the proposed model outperforms the conventional VAD with LSTM. And we showed how the attention mechanism can help VAD tasks by visualizing the attention distribution of the model.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115476861","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}

This paper aims to develop Metro Manila’s vehicle survival rates, using the Weibull Distribution function and the data of vehicles registered in the Land Transport Office (LTO). A novel computation procedure is proposed how to develop the vehicle survival and scrappage rates for a metropolis not implementing the scrappage standard. The vehicles are classified into main three types: car, utility vehicle (UV) and bus. The results highlighted that the current average life spans for car, UV and bus are 14.225, 13.929 and 11.529 years, respectively. The developed vehicle survival rates were used to calculate the scrappage rates and the cumulative scrappage rates, being very informative for projection of Metro Manila’s vehicle fleet and scrappage intensity, and beyond that the computation procedure proposed in this paper is considerably important to develop vehicle survival rates for other countries having no data of vehicle scrappage intensity and distribution of vehicles by age.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128710410","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}

In most cases, a person with health problems such as diabetes is observed to have a declining motor functions. When this declining motor function is not monitored, this may result to severe health problems that may lead to death. There have been many studies that allow the observation and analysis of the gait movement of a person whether he is in static or dynamic state. However, to accurately observe the person’s condition, health monitoring is needed. But most monitoring techniques introduced are limited to a certain space and time making it inconvenient for patients and medical practitioners. Thus, this paper will focus on implementing an IoT-based smart system capable of managing, interpreting and storing data from the patient’s gait pattern through Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors. The main contribution of this study is the ability to differentiate whether the person is in static or dynamic motion for that certain period of time and creates a storage of these classifications.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131600914","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}

Fajardo","doi":"10.1109/HNICEM.2018.8666379","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/HNICEM.2018.8666379","url":null,"abstract":"Solar tracking systems typically uses sun pointing sensors to accurately determine the sun’s position and maintain the PV panel perpendicular to the direct beam of the solar radiation to maximize energy generation. However, sun pointing sensors are ineffectual without the presence of the sun and in the strong occurrence of reflected light; and are susceptible to tracking errors due to improper installation and effects of varying weather conditions. This in turn leads to poor tracking performance which adversely affects the energy generation of PV panels. To address this weakness, a sunflower inspired solar tracking strategy that mimics the heliotropic behavior of sunflowers was developed. The scheme utilizes the light-generated current from the PV panel working in conjunction with the Real Time Clock module to infer the apparent location of the sun as it traverses the sky during daytime. The performance of the single axis sensorless prototype was assessed in terms of tracking error and energy gained. The result of the experiment conducted shows that the proposed strategy achieved an average tracking error of 0.727° under different weather conditions, while sustaining an estimated average percent power loss of 0.287%. This maximizes the available solar energy received by the PV panel by 99.7%. Thus, the sunflower inspired solar tracking strategy is able to maximize energy generation. As a result, an estimated energy gain of 20.5% over an optimally tilted fixed panel was achieved.","PeriodicalId":426103,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 10th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology,Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130634023","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 used a quantitative method in gathering and analyzing the using a questionnaire developed from past studies. Besides, it obtained the mean responses of the different green IT practices as well as the significant difference between the green operational IT practices of the groups of respondents. The result showed that the university already started implementing green IT in its operational and procedural practices, although it is still not fully strengthened and steward. Thus, there is a need for a balanced implementation and stewardship of these practices in order to fully implement green IT.
