Maximum Power Point Tracking Using PSO with Boost Converter
Abstract: Maximum power point tracking methods are used for extraction of maximum power from solar PV panels. The characteristics of non-line panel hinder the power output from the solar panel. Earlier proposed methods like hill climbing, incremental conductance suffer from steady state and lower efficiency. This proposed evolutionary computation technique assures nearly zero steady state oscillation and faster convergence of tracking maximum power. The PSO algorithm is tested on a DC-DC …

Review on Drying of Tea Leaf during Manufacturing Process.
Abstract: India is the world's largest tea producer, and Assam contributes about 55 per cent of India's total production making it the largest tea growing area in the world. Tea production started in the early 1800s, during the British period. Maniram Dewan was Assam's first tea-maker. In the first two decades (1840–1860), the cultivation and production of Assam tea was monopolized by the Assam Company, which worked in Upper Assam districts …

Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis of Cover Quantity and Quality of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Abstract: Design procedures based on current specifications do not always ensure required service life, mostly due to the environmental effect, error at the time of construction and underestimated cover properties at the time of design. Moreover, single-point value of any property does not provide rational support to the decision maker. Statistical resampling technique for each of the cover properties used to find out the service life of the structures is thus …
