The Philippines is a multicultural society with diverse cultures and beliefs for each indigenous community. This study was designed to determine the level of culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy (CRTSE) mathematics teachers propose training design. utilized an explanatory sequential research design using survey focus-grouped discussion participated by 65 in-service teachers. Based on re...

This paper presents a novel double knowledge transferring method to solve the multi-culture facial attractiveness enhancement problem. The existing enhancement of facial attractiveness methods just focus on one particular culture and assume the beautification model learned in one culture could be used in other cultures without adaptation. However, for the people in different cultures who do not...

Antenna is a vital component in wireless application systems. The microstrip antenna can be used for wireless applications as it has features such as light weight, easily mounted and it is easy to mass produce. Although there are many features that suits well for microstrip antenna to be deployed for wireless applications, there is a very serious limitation where it has a very narrow bandwidth....

A highly sensitive fluorescent sensor, 8-(2-glucaminoacetylamino)quinoline, for Zn in water is synthesized by integrating a water-soluble glucose group with the 8-aminoquinoline fluorophore via a glycyl spacer. The sensor exhibits a highly selective fluorescence enhancement response to Zn over other metal ions. X-ray analysis shows that the deprotonation of NH in the sensor will occur upon bind...

Hyperspectral data potentially contain more information than multispectral data because of higher dimensionality. Information extraction algorithm performance is strongly related to the quantitative precision with which the desired classes are defined, a characteristic which increases rapidly with dimensionality. Due to the limited number of training samples used in defining classes, the inform...

Several studies have found that learning is more e ective when students explain examples to themselves. Although these studies show that learning and self-explanation co-occur, they do not reveal why. Three explanations have been proposed and computational models have been built for each. The gaplling explanation is that self-explanation causes subjects to detect and ll gaps in their domain kno...

Some medical images have significantly high levels of brightness contrast: parts of the image may be very bright while others may be very dark. Global contrast enhancement often fails to provide clinicians with an image that facilitates the easy visualisation of all the required information, while traditional local contrast enhancement is computationally intensive thus limiting its applications...

Cellular communication has a tremendous growth in recent years. Capacity enhancement becomes an important topic of discussion. Both researchers and academicians have been recognized the need of capacity enhancement of cellular system in a sustained manner. In this paper, various techniques to enhance the capacity of cellular system have been discussed. The various performance metrics like cell ...

Aim of speech enhancement is to improve the intelligibility and quality of the speech. By recording the speech signal in the noisy environment, clean speech signals are degraded. Speech enhancement reduces the noise without distorting the original (clean) signal. In this concept, Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) method is used to enhance the noisy speech signal. This approach, takes into ...
