On dual B-filters and dual B-subalgebras in a topological
dual B-algebra

Katrina E. Bellezaa,∗ Jimboy R. Albaracin AbstractThis paper introduces the notion of the tdB-algebra, presents characteristics and properties of dual B-filters and dualB-subalgebras in a tdB-algebra, and introduces the uniform topology on a dual B-algebra in terms of its dual B-subalgebras.Moreover, this paper shows that a uniform dual B-structure is a tdB-algebra. Keywords: Topological algebra, dual B-algebra, topological dual B-algebra, dual...

GonioPi: Towards Developing a Scalable, Versatile, Reliable and Accurate Handheld-Wearable Digital
Goniometer

Thomas Jonathan R. Garcia Dhong Fhel K. Gom-os Abstract: Range of Motion (ROM) Testing is an important physical examination performed in physical therapy used in assessing the ROM of a patient’s joint. The most commonly used instrument for ROM Testing is the universal goniometer. The most common cause for unreliable and inaccurate joint angle ROM measurements is measurement errors. Multiple studies have been done to mitigate measurement errors...

Agribusiness Organizing in the Philippine South: The Intertextual Power Play of Weather and Market Agencies

Crina E. Tañongon Abstract This paper shows how an agribusiness in a remote agrarian village in the Philippines has been organized in traditional ways amid technological advancements and the free market.
