This study evaluates the performance enhancement potential of three solar tracking strategies implemented on a floating photovoltaic (FPV) installation at the Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant. Simulations were carried out using PVsyst software version 7.3 for four system configurations: fixed-tilt (without tracking, with the island platform azimuth set at 0°), single-axis tracking (panel rotating phi angle varied from -5.3° to 5.3°), dual-axis tracking (tilt angle varied from 5° to 15° and module azimuth angle at -20° and 20°), and island tracking (overall island platform azimuth angle

This study investigated the awareness, integration, and challenges faced by Basilan State College Teacher Education Students regarding the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers Beginning Teacher Indicators (PPST BTIs). Using descriptive-quantitative methodology, the study surveyed 63 teacher education students during the 2023-2024 academic year. Results revealed moderate overall awareness (M=3.68) and integration (M=3.55) of PPST BTIs. Notably, the Diversity of Learners domain showed the highest awareness (M=4.12), while Community Linkages demonstrated the highest integration (M=4.08)

Preventive maintenance plays an important function in optimizing problems regarding damages of machinery that often arise in the industrial environment, which reflects huge losses for enterprises. These analyses include various factors such as high ambient temperatures, fast machine revolving speed, poor estimation of torque figures, etc. This study aims to introduce preventive analytical results based on machine conditions that have the potential to develop damage. To attain this objective, we will carry out the analysis using a multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) approach. in which a

This quantitative descriptive study assessed environmental practices related to solid waste management among 346 freshman students at Basilan State College during the 2023-2024 academic year. Using a stratified random sampling approach and a validated questionnaire adapted from Gantang's instrument, the research examined four key domains: waste segregation, reduction, recycling/reuse, and disposal practices across demographic variables including gender, age, ethnicity, and college affiliation. Results revealed that students generally maintain positive environmental practices with an overall me
