Application of nonwoven polypropylene surgical mask as a composition of hybrid geotextile
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringThe increased waste of surgical masks significantly impacts the environment, especially with the surging cases of COVID-19. This paper utilized the nonwoven polypropylene strips in a surgical mask to modify banana fibers as a hybrid composite geotextile. Comparative performance was examined to assess the physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties for the application of separation of subgrade and subbase layers. Hybrid geotextile was compared to mask geotextile, banana geotextile, and commercially made geotextile. The hybrid geotextile having the highest average mass per unit area of 1840 g/m2 , results in higher tensile strength for both machine direction (82 kN/m2) and cross-machine direction (79 kN/m2), which was proven to produce better performance. Also, the hybrid geotextile consistently demonstrated the highest tensile strengths between groups, having values of 73 kN/m2, 69 kN/m2, and 63 kN/m2 for 6, 12, and 18 days, respectively, after being immersed in soil. Among the groups of geotextiles, hybrid material (10.54%,16.47%, and 23.79%) has the least percentage of tensile strength loss after exposure. It was expected since the polypropylene strips reinforced the decomposition progress of banana fiber. Moreover, its 0.55 mm pore opening size shows promising results since the blending twist of banana and Polypropylene as warp and weft threads resulted in alternate arrangements producing a good amount of cover. The trade-off analysis also proved that given the parameters, hybrid geotextile ranked as the lowest, scoring 1.6, which implied efficiency as a separator between subgrade and subbase layers. Thus, the hybrid geotextile could best withstand the expansion force by laboratory testing even after weather and field exposure
Morphological awareness and reading comprehension of senior high school students
No full textThis study aimed to determine the level of morphological awareness and reading comprehension of senior high school students and the significant relationship between the two variables. This quantitative study used a descriptive-correlational survey research design to gather information and find the most factor that affects the senior high school students reading comprehension. This study was conducted among the Grade 12 ABM, STEM, and HUMMS students of Nieves Villarica National High School through stratified sampling with 197 respondents. In collecting the data, the researchers used multiple-question tests adapted from the study of Alsaeedi (2017) and the book of Castigador (2012). The result showed that the student’s morphological awareness is low, while the reading comprehension is moderate. This study also revealed a significant relationship between the students’ awareness of morphology and reading comprehension; however, there is a weak positive relationship. It was also found that the morphological structure was the top predictor of reading comprehension. Thus, this study concluded that the students’ morphological awareness is correlated with reading comprehension, and the best predictor of reading comprehension is the morphological structure awareness of the students. It was also recommended that future researchers be encouraged to conduct this kind of research in a new location and setting to expand this kind of study

Development of energy harvesting bicycle tire using flexible triboelectric nanogenerators for bicycle wheel safety light
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Electrical EngineeringThere is a growing demand for renewable energy sources; triboelectric nanogenerators are gaining popularity as an alternative power source for small electronics and LEDs. This study aims to develop a bicycle safety wheel light using a triboelectric nanogenerator. Develop a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator that can generate enough power for LED lights. The TENG is installed inside a 26 x 2.35-inch mountain bike and tested in different riding conditions. Adjusting tire pressure induces air separation and allows for direct contact between the dielectric materials, producing charges. Each TENG (Triboelectric Nanogenerator) will be linked to distinct sets of LEDs, which are connected to a bridge rectifier that converts the alternating current (AC) power into direct current (DC). The TENG could light up multiple LEDs when dropped in a back-and-forth motion. This study evaluates whether the pressure applied and speed are related to the TENG's maximum voltage and power output. The result shows a high correlation between the TENG's speed, maximum power, and voltage output in no-load and load conditions. At the same time, there is a strong correlation between the pressure applied to the tire and maximum power output when connected to a one megaohm load. When two Teng are installed on the tire, the Device can charge a 22-microfarad capacitor. It can generate an average of 25.61 microjoules of stored energy and energize the capacitor up to 1.517 V when ridden for 30 minutes
