Background Hydrops fetalis as well as abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are conditions that are associated with high mortality rates. A rare case of immature gastric…
Freshwater in off-grid islands is sourced from rain, groundwater, or mainland imports, which are unreliable, limited, and expensive, respectively. Sustainable freshwater generation from desalination of…
This paper provides models for managing and investigating the power flow of a grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system with an energy storage system (ESS) supplying…
Graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs), a functional 2D nanofiller for polymer nanocomposites, utilize natural graphite as a raw material due to its stacked graphene layers and outstanding…
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) is an oncogene often mutated in colorectal cancer (CRC). The contribution of PIK3CA mutations in acquired resistance to anti-epidermal…
Chemically defined stem cell culture media are often costly, and the use of mitotically arrested mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) as feeder cells is a popular…
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a legislative mandate that requires a producer to be accountable for the whole life cycle of its product—from product design…
Drought during the formative stages of a plant’s growth triggers a sequence of responses to maintain optimal growing conditions, but often at the expense of…
Bioavailability plays an important role in drug activity in the human body, as certain drug amounts should be present to elicit activity. However, low bioavailability…
Dengue is a highly endemic disease in Southeast Asia and is transmitted primarily by the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. The National Capital Region (NCR) of the Philippines,…
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are power-generating devices with high efficiencies and considered as promising alternatives to mitigate energy and environmental issues associated with fossil…
Determination of Cloud-top Height through Three-dimensional Cloud Reconstruction using DIWATA-1 Data
Cloud-top height is a useful parameter with which to elucidate cloud vertical growth, which often indicates severe weather such as torrential rainfall and thunderstorms; it…
Background The prevalence of having ever tested for HIV in the Philippines is very low and is far from the 90% target of the Philippine…
Niche shifts and environmental non-equilibrium in invading alien species undermine niche-based predictions of alien species’ potential distributions and, consequently, their usefulness for invasion risk assessments.…
Access to clean water is one of the targets in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, millions of people are still without basic water services,…
