The study presents a novel analytic approach for computing Unity Magnitude (UM) shapers, validated experimentally on a test bench, to enhance the control of wind conversion systems (WCSs) using hybrid excitation synchronous generators (HESGs). The research demonstrates the effectiveness of UM shapers in mechanical stabilization and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), highlighting their adaptability and robustness. A comparative study using the Simulink platform shows significant performance gains with UM shapers. The paper also discusses the design of a second-generation CRONE controller for robust fractional order control, emphasizing its practical advantages and real-world applicability.

Proper tree pruning is essential for healthy growth, aesthetics, and safety. In India, the best time to prune trees varies by season. Winter is ideal due to tree dormancy, while monsoon pruning is generally discouraged due to disease risks and safety concerns. Summer pruning requires caution due to heat stress, and post-monsoon pruning allows for recovery before winter. General tips include prioritizing safety, using proper techniques, and understanding species-specific needs. Effective pruning practices enhance tree health and landscape beauty.

Potting soil and gardening soil have distinct characteristics and purposes essential for successful plant growth. Potting soil, designed for container gardening, is lightweight, well-draining, sterile, nutrient-rich, and pH-adjusted. Gardening soil, found naturally in the ground, varies in composition, fertility, and drainage properties, often requiring amendments to optimize plant growth. Understanding these differences helps in selecting the appropriate soil for container or in-ground gardening, ensuring optimal plant health and growth.

Starting a terrace garden in India involves assessing sunlight and wind patterns, ensuring structural integrity, selecting appropriate containers, preparing well-draining soil, and managing watering and drainage. Suitable plants for terrace gardening include herbs, leafy greens, and flowers. Vertical gardening techniques can maximize space, while regular fertilization, pest management, and maintenance are essential for plant health. Adapting gardening practices to specific terrace conditions and plant needs is crucial for a successful and rewarding gardening experience.

Compost, fertilizer, and mulch each play unique roles in maintaining a healthy and productive garden. Compost improves soil health and fertility, fertilizer provides specific plant nutrients, and mulch offers protection and conservation benefits. Understanding the differences between these terms allows for effective utilization to create an optimal growing environment for plants.

Weeds compete with garden plants for nutrients, sunlight, and water. Natural weed control methods, such as hand pulling, mulching, smothering, vinegar solutions, and boiling water, are effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical herbicides. These methods help maintain garden health and minimize ecological impact. Regular maintenance and combining multiple methods are key to effective weed management.

The International Amateur Film Festival of Kelibia (FIFAK), organized by the Tunisian federation of amateur filmmakers (FTCA), is set to have one of its best organized editions this year, with enhanced security and a diverse program. The festival received 2730 entries from 106 countries, with 19 films in the national competition and 60 in the international competition from 28 countries. Screenings will take place at Kelibia’s Open Air Theater from August 13-17. Special events include honoring Palestinian Cinema, a night with Iraqi director Kacim Hawal, and a focus on 'Resistance Cinema'. Seminars, music performances, and workshops are also part of the festival, which will open with Anne Mary Jasser’s film “WAJIB”. CreativeNess will cover the festival, providing updates on the competing films and festival happenings.

No-dig gardening, also known as no-till or lasagna gardening, is a sustainable method that eliminates traditional soil disturbance by layering organic materials to create nutrient-rich soil. This approach improves soil health, reduces weed growth, and retains moisture, offering benefits such as reduced labor and the need for synthetic fertilizers. The article provides a step-by-step guide to starting a no-dig garden, emphasizing site selection, layering organic materials, and ongoing maintenance. It highlights the method's adaptability to various plants and settings, including containers and raised beds, promoting a thriving and efficient gardening practice.

Amaranthus, known for its ornamental beauty and nutritious leaves, is a drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plant suitable for gardens. This guide covers selecting the right variety, soil preparation, sowing seeds, ensuring adequate sunlight and watering, and maintenance. Amaranthus can be grown in containers, is generally pest-resistant, and its seeds can be saved for future planting. While leaves are commonly eaten, some varieties produce edible seeds. Amaranthus can also serve as a companion plant in gardens.

Bottom watering, also known as sub-irrigation, offers numerous benefits for plant health and growth, including improved root development, prevention of overwatering, minimization of water waste, prevention of fungal diseases, enhanced nutrient absorption, and reduced maintenance and watering frequency. This technique is suitable for a wide range of plants, including potted houseplants, vegetables, and certain outdoor garden plants, though it may not be ideal for plants that prefer drier soil conditions.
