Ant colony optimized MPPT with single CUK converter for standalone PV system
The practical realization of solar-based standalone power system with maximum power point tracker (MPPT) to produce electrical power in rural places (residential applications). The solar-inspired Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based MPPT algorithm is employed for the purpose of fast and accurate tracking power from solar sources. Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) controlling strategy is adopted in this presented work compared to classical PI control. Moreover, a single Cuk converter is operated as an impedance power adapter to execute MPPT functioning. Satisfactory practical results have been realized using the platform that justifies the superiority of proposed algorithms designed under various operating situations. Results show that the converter exhibits good performance in steady-state and during the load change.

Gadgets and gamification digital devices from SMS to SHS (Smart Health Solutions)- The app revolution
In the wake of the worldwide phenomenon of technology overtaking every aspect of our lives and the huge surge in the overall usage and application of technology in everyday life. There are two facets that have emerged as striking features in the global tapestry of social media and techno-connected societies and communities across the world. Number one is the total re-haul in the way people work and live, which can be termed as ‘Lifestyle’ in the broader sense. The second is the invasion of technology into every aspect of that life, as smart devices, gaming consoles, Applications, and special Apps and gadgets have bombarded us from every direction. Looking at it from various perspectives gives a wide spectrum of viewpoints and each has its own merits and demerits, yet the most important and striking feature has to be the impact of the digital era on health. And that’s the viewpoint that is more pressing and urgent in the current global context. The upside and downside of the Digitalization of every aspect of life as a direct result has triggered both a socio-economic upheaval and a global health crisis simultaneously. The Upside being digitalization of almost everything around us and the ease and simplified solutions which comes at the touch of a button, we can call it digital empowerment, the downside being Sedentary lifestyle-induced debilitating epidemics of obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, and many physiological and psychological problems for people across profiles and ages. However, there is a major awakening to the crises, and many Governments, companies, communities, and people have realized the value of a healthy lifestyle and responded with a dramatic sense of responsibility and commitment towards healthier choices and interestingly enough, fitness is the latest priced possession and status symbol. But far from being an elitist phenomenon, it is fast becoming a pop culture and at least in that spirit has become a major calling for people across the spectrum to get fitter. Again, technology in the form of smartphones, wearables, gadgets, and intelligent devices is at the forefront of this paradigm. The question though, with regard to the efficacy and effectiveness of the devices and solutions and the innumerable wearables, Apps, and technologies that are available in various forms and formats is still at large and their role as a definitive solution for health and fitness requirements is a work in progress, which, unless it involves the right blend of the expertise, experience, and education, cannot become an empowering tool. We need to find the right ones that will enable us to use the available technology without overwhelming us and fit within the scheme of specific requirements and aspects that we seek feedback and inputs for and thereby enhance the effectiveness and amplify the experience.

Study on investors perception towards mutual funds
The aim of the study is that to know the investor's perception of mutual funds. It aims at understanding the perception of the investors who invest in mutual funds as not everyone is familiar with mutual funds but still they invest in it to get returns. This study contains a sample of 140 different kinds of investors and their diversification of investment plans. The data was collected from the investors through circulated questionnaires in Hyderabad city and surrounded by rural and urban areas. By this study found that most of the investors have a positive impact and good knowledge of mutual funds. Based on the findings and analysis it concluded that most of the investors are satisfied with the returns and performance of mutual funds. Also found that tax benefits, diversification, and reduction in risk as more impact on the investor's perception of investing in mutual funds.

Review on renewable energy resources power controller by MPPT and AI approaches
Due to substantial generation and demand fluctuations in standalone green electricity control schemes are becoming crucial for the electricity sharing and voltage regulation functions. The classical power management strategies rent the maximum energy factor monitoring (MPPT) algorithms and rely on batteries in case of possible extra or deficit of strength. However, so as to recognize the constant present day-constant voltage (IU) charging regime and growth of the life span of batteries, electricity control strategies require being more flexible with the power curtailment feature. The paper proposes a method for the hybrid solar photovoltaic and winds energy device in Battery management for stand-alone applications. Battery charging manner is non-linear, time-varying with an enormous time delay so it is difficult to achieve the best energy management performance by using traditional control approaches.
