Pedelec-power assist bicycle
In India, like developing countries, is highly dependent on a suitable, flexible, and economical or budget transport system. In India, with this technological upgrade, the number of people using two wheelers is gradually increasing, in 2016, the maximum use of two wheelers in India was 31%, but now it is around 55% and more. The gradual increase in this consumption is now suffering from the cost of fuel and the lack of power, which is limited and cannot be generated. The enormous use of these vehicles leads to environmental impacts as well as carbon emissions. So, in this article, we try to offer a solution to the above problems through our project, which is the "PEDELEC-Power Assist Bike". In this project, we design a bicycle that is a traditional electric booster (EPB) using a proportional booster strategy. The ratio is usually set to 1:1, meaning the motor will provide the same amount of assistance as the amount of human torque. The main goal of this project is to design a motor and generator set with dual charge and discharge batteries with suitable controllers that will provide sustainable energy and also a smaller battery capacity will help us travel longer distances.

Legislation of Artificial Intelligence
Alan Turing, “founder of computer science” , introduced artificial intelligence in his paper - “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” - in 1950. Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings . This piece explores the emerging technologies of artificial intelligence and the regulations and legislations to control its impact in a beneficial way. AI was an evolved solution to support processes and aid humans in their daily lives. While it has many benefits to society such as better medical technology, it also has many ethical downsides. UNESCO, EU, UK and the FDA have come up with specific proposals for regulating the use of AI to maximise the benefits and minimise its drawbacks - the question remains, is it enough? What other solutions can be employed and is legislation of AI technology truly necessary or will it restrict innovation? This paper discusses the effect of AI on society and if regulations made by national and international authorities will become significant for its rapidly growing future.

Acid-base titration using plant extracts as natural pH indicators
The analytical potential of the plant extracts is very promising as seen in its application in acid-base titration. Three plant extracts from Red Hibiscus flower powder (shoe flower) Turmeric powder, Henna Leaves powder were used as an indicator in strong acid-strong base titrations. A sharp and clear colour change was observed from Light Pink to Light Green for Red Hibiscus flower extract. These three extracts were in good agreement with the titre values obtained using phenolphthalein indicator. These flower extracts can be extracted using have a very simple, inexpensive, environmentally friendly procedure and excellent performance with sharp colour changes at the end points of the titration, which can replace the standard indicators being used in conventional laboratories with natural flower indicators.

An interesting case of sebaceous horn: A rare case report
Sebaceous horn is an erupted cornified dermal nodular lesion that constituted of hyperkeratotic material. It is an unusual cutaneous lesion that is also termed as cornu cutaneum. These are found in areas like scalp, face, neck, and peripheral limbs exposed to solar radiation. Mostly these lesions are benign but underlying pre-malignant or malignant components are also encountered. We present an interesting and a rare case of sebaceous horn in 66-year male who presented to our out-patient department with an animal horn like cutaneous lesion for last 2 years. A 2-2.5 cm, brownish coloured, vertical cone shaped like horny projection was noted on the dorsal aspect of his left forearm. Because of having malignant potential, it is better to excise widely the horny lesion with a rim of 1 cm normal skin. Patient was operated as a day care procedure where wide local excision was performed taking 1cm rim of normal skin margin around the nodular lesion and sent for histopathological reporting. Histopathology report shown the lesion to have core of inspissated squamous epithelial debris material with peripheral rim of dead keratin or hyperkeratosis with adjacent normal skin. No malignant cells were found.

Performance evaluation of Kubernetes cluster federation using Kubefed
We have entered the multi-cloud and hybrid age. The inevitable trend in cloud computing is application-oriented multi-cloud and multi-cluster architecture. Today's cloud applications must abide by a wide range of laws and rules. It is doubtful that a single cluster can follow all the rules. The scope of compliance for each cluster is decreased by the multiple cluster technique. We can move workloads between Kubernetes suppliers to benefit from new features and costs. This paper aims to describe an integration between multiple clusters running on the same cloud and evaluate their performance based on the Kubernetes Cluster Federation system. Some experimental evaluations were carried out with this goal in mind (Cloud Evaluation Experiment Methodology – CEEM) to monitor system resource behavior and availability, including network, disk, CPU, and memory. The test environment consists of a manually deployed Kubernetes cluster that was created. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is the Cloud service provider considered. The Cluster Federation was performed using the Kubernetes Cluster Federation (KubeFed).

Phytochemical studies in blue-green and green algae
A Systematic study of plant crude drugs is embraced through the consideration of both primary and secondary metabolites which are derived from the process of metabolism. The primary metabolites such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are used as food for human beings whereas the secondary metabolites such as phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, lectins, steroids, and saponins are used for therapeutic purposes. The chemical composition of algae varies to some extent based on the growth conditions namely temperature, light, PH, and availability of nutrients. In the present investigation the presence of qualitative and quantitative phytochemicals namely Carbohydrates, proteins, Phenols, and flavonoids were carried out in Blue green alga Microchaete tenera and Green Algae Nitella tenuissima and Sphaeroplea annulina. The estimated carbohydrate rich in Nitella tenuissima (504mg/100gm) as compared to Sphaeroplea annulina (413mg/100gm) and Microchaete tenera, (301gm/100gm). Protein rich in Nitella tenuissima (624gm/100gm) as compared to Microchaete tenera (496mg/100gm).and Sphaeroplea annulina (350mg/100gm) and Phenol rich in Nitella tenuissima (252mg/100gm) as compared to Microchaete tenera, (204mg/100gm).and Sphaeroplea annulina (186mg/100gm).
