Hybridization of BBO-PSO for the designing of FIR filter
This research article studies the performance of three metaheuristics processes: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) and Hybrid BBO_PSO approach for FIR filter design. The three approaches employ different strategies and computational effort to find a solution to a given objective function. BBO is more recently proposed population-based search method than PSO. Some researchers believed in the convergence superiority of BBO over the PSO and approved it due to its capacity to solve complex problems due to its ease of implementation. In this paper, for FIR filter design PSO, BBO and BBO_PSO schemes are compared. BBO_PSO generally outperform standard PSO and BBO schemes. The study also underlines the importance of introducing hybridization of two heuristics optimizations to make them more efficient. Furthermore, it establishes the potential complementary of the approaches while solving this optimization problem.

Automatic discovery of association orders between name and aliases from the web
Nowadays, searching for celebrities and experts information on the web is the most common activity done by most of the users. When a query is given for person search, it returns a set of web pages related to the different personalities of given name. For such type of search jobs of finding the web page in which user is interested is left on the user. There are many celebrities and experts of different fields which may have been referred by not only their real names but also by their alias names on the web. Aliases play important role in information retrieval to retrieve complete information about a real name from the web, as some of the web pages of the person may also be referred by his nicknames. The alias names for a personal name are extracted from the previously proposed alias extraction method. In information retrieval, the ADAONA search engine automatically expands the search query on a person name from his aliases for complete information retrieval thereby improving recall in the task of relation detection and achieving a significant mean reciprocal rank (MRR) of the search engine. For further more improvement on recall and MRR from the previously proposed methods, the proposed method will order the aliases based on their associations with the name using the definition of anchor texts-based co-occurrences between name and aliases in order to help the search engine tag the aliases according to the order of associations. The order between associations will automatically be discovered by creating an anchor texts-based co-occurrence graph between name and aliases.

Home security using piezoelectric sensor
Presently days, mechanization assumes a pivotal part in all workplaces and living homes. By and by mechanization systems are executed either utilizing microcontroller or PC. Microcontroller can't run different projects at once. With the utilization of Microcontroller, it is hard to control both the machines and reconnaissance at once i.e., it is exceptionally mind-boggling to play out the numerous capacities all the while. We can accomplish this with the PC, however utilizing the PC is exceptionally costly for this reason and expends more power. The Raspberry Pi is a solitary board PC and it can be utilized to conquer these issues. Basically, the Raspberry Pi framework capacities like a PC with little setup. It contains GPIO and USB ports. Utilizing these ports we can control the machines with the sensors and also interface the camera for reconnaissance. Raspberry Pi can be utilized for various purposes in view of our necessity. Security is the principle point utilizing piezoelectric sensor where this sensor is a minimal effort one. Where Piezoelectric Effect is the capacity of specific materials to create an electric charge in light of connected mechanical pressure. Alternate systems utilize diverse sorts of sensors to secure home.

Heat treatment on aluminum hybrid metal matrix composites
The Al alloy matrix materials exhibiting excellent mechanical properties with the addition of B4C particulates as reinforcement. Stir cast method is preferred for preparing composite specimen materials. Then the composites were prepared for heat treatment process by subjecting to solutionizing followed by quenching in different media for improving the mechanical and physical properties. Further, all the specimens are subjected to artificial aging at a temperature of 130˚C for different time duration. The hardness properties are examined. Due to excellent increase in the hardness the material removal rate decreases. It is also observed that Al hybrid metal matrix composite experimented under identical heat treatment conditions reveal significant enhancement in hardness.

Effect of Butea monosperma flower extract on male reproductive organ of albino rats – A biochemical study
One of the important concerns today is the problem of Overpopulation. Population explosion is creating worldwide problems. The population of the world is growing faster than the supplies of food, shelter and fuel. The increase in population is becoming a comprehensive dilemma, causing much pressure on economic, social and natural assets. In the present scenario world’s population has amplified at an alarming rate and is the main cause of poverty. World Health Organization (WHO) noted that majority of the World’s population depends on traditional medicine for primary healthcare. Population control is a significant issue worldwide especially in developing countries like India. Modern reproductive biomedicine has provided several preventive and effective methods of contraceptives for fertility control in male and female but none of which is very safe and without any serious side-effects. This overpopulation can be checked through biological means with special reference to modulation in the human fertility ability. Along with the advancement in the reproductive biomedicine difference hormonal contraceptive pills are developing but all have side effects. There is still a worldwide unmet need for more affordable, effective and practical contraceptives, indicating that further technological advancement or innovations to existing products are required. The oral contraceptive pill for women has had the significant impact on societal dynamics and socio-economic benefits, while the development of male contraceptive options equivalent to female products has proven an elusive goal. The main reason for this is that while sperm production can be controlled by the administration of sex steroids, there is also a decrease in testosterone that requires “add-back” therapy. The World Health Organization suggested that practice of use of traditional medicine for the control of fertility, instead of synthetic drugs, as cost-effective management for birth control. For this World Health Organization has given great emphasis on folklore use of the anti-fertility herbs. In the recent years number of plants have been identified and evaluated for their anti-fertility activity. So, formulation of new herbal medicines has become a growing trend in modern on-going experiments which includes the use of different plant parts extracts having anti-spermatogenic activities but their exact mechanism of action is not cleared. Initiative has been taken globally to find out the efficiency of herbal products for male contraceptive.

Solar powered patient monitoring system
This paper presents an overview of the Solar powered patient monitoring system. A solar-powered patient monitoring system is a Wired and Wireless system that can allow patients to mobile. The developed system includes pulse sensor to measure the patient's pulse rate, as well as the Temperature and humidity sensor to track temperature and humidity of environment picking the best environment that suits the patient's condition. Other parameters that may not be directly linked to the patient but prove to be essential as far as health is concerned are also monitored which include smoke or toxic gas detection and fire detection. The proof of concept was successful and allow multiple patients to be monitored at the same time. This enables the doctor to monitor patient’s health parameters which include heartbeat, temperature, position etc in real time.
