Effect of cereals diet on the life cycle of Corcyra Cephalonia under laboratory condition in Rajnandgaon
An experiment was conducted from December 2018 to March 2019 in the Biological Control laboratory, CHRS, Rajnandgaon at 26 ± 1ºC, RH 60 ± 10%. The studies on the life cycle of C. cephalonica reared on different cereals diets were observed in the terms of fecundity, Incubation period, larval period, pupal period, longevity, total life cycle, and morphological measurement of full-grown larvae. The results observed that the diet media sweet corn (100%) was the best media for mass production of C. cephalonica due to their short incubation period, short larval period, short pupal period, short male and female longevity, and short male and female total life cycle with 4.73, 24.20, 8.27, (3.00 and 4.67) and (40.20 and 41.87) days and followed by the second-best and cheapest diet media maize (100%) with 5.20, 32.00, 8.53,(3.07 and 5.33) and (48.80 and 51.06) days, respectively. High fecundity (255.60 no. of eggs/female), maximum larval length (12.75 mm), and weight (26.07 mg) was observed in sweet corn (100%) followed by maize (100%) with fecundity 250 no. of eggs/female, 12.15 mm larval length and 21.93 mg larval weight.

Analysis and design of Lacing, Slab base, and Concrete Pedestal for Industrial Steel Structure by Using Software Package STAAD PRO.V8i.
The conception of project evaluation as well as the development of steel structures is the very up-to-date version in the civil engineering area. It is needed to model a steel structure but if it is also examined through its sculpting then there will not be any prospects of malfunction. The firmness constituent consists of two main elements laced and tied should, where feasible, have a radius of gyration about the axis perpendicular to the plane of lacing not less than the radius of gyration at right angles to that axis. The base plates are intended to withstand the axial load, horizontal shear, or external moments transmitted through the column and must be able to securely transfer the same to the groundwork. Pedestals are generally substantially overdesigned since the rise in materials is more than compensated by reduced project time and the value of the accumulated safety aspect. In this project work, general building data is adopted for the study and is well analyzed and designed. The project was undertaken at the Belagavi location. The assessment and planning were done corresponding to the standard design to the potential extend. The assessment of structure was done using the software package STAAD PRO.V8i. All the structural components were designed manually.

Proposal, testing and functioning of an android application smart prototype -SuFI to offer food conveyance
According to the survey made in India, there is no platform that provides the feature providing food 24/7 from mess/food stalls/homemakers. The main idea behind the project is to deliver food 24/7 ranging from roadside food stalls to five-star hotels to the customers. This also includes the feature of providing employment to home food makers and also to the delivery person. In India, it has been seen that in many of the functions and parties the remaining food goes to the dustbin, and parallelly lakhs of people are dying because of undernourishment. So to overcome this situation another salient feature got added in this project ie Leftover Food Management – Providing leftover food parties and functions to the needy people to avoid undernourishment. As a solution, an android application Sufi is developed.

COVID-19: A new highway for neurodegenerative diseases
It is not very often seen that a pandemic leading towards an epidemic, but here we are discussing how COVID-19 has the potential to trigger neurological disorders. Fascinating evidence demonstrated that COVID-19 infection is capable of modifying the spectrum of the clinical firm where neurological diseases are manifested due to the infection and also are responsible for the development of long-termed diseases. In this review, we will study how there is a latent relationship between COVID-19 and neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s (AD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Specifically, in multiple sclerosis more than age, neuroimmunology related factors influence the cause of this disease. Various studies have shown an association between neurological disorders and COVID-19. The important viewpoint here is to understand the SARS-CoV-2 causing infection which leads to the development of COVID-19 affecting neuro balance.

Building a decentralized system to optimize the KYC process
This paper aims to develop a reputation-based, decentralized system using Blockchain to optimize the KYC process. The system will aim to optimize the core know-your-customer (KYC) verification process for financial corporations and improve the customer experience by reducing costs and increasing transparency of the data shared. The current KYC process costs more than $500 million for banks, most of which is spent to secure the customer's personal data. In the proposed system, the KYC verification process will only be conducted once for each customer by a validator in the Blockchain, regardless of the number of financial corporations with which that customer intends to work. Owing to Blockchain, the core KYC verification result can be securely shared by the customers with all the financial corporations that they intend to work with. This process produces a gain in efficiency, reduces cost, improves customer experience, and increases transparency throughout onboarding a customer for the financial corporation.

Fluid flow analysis of hydroelectric centrifugal turbines with a circular and square profile for treated water
In this paper, we have discussed the practicality and feasibility of implementing hydroelectric centrifugal turbine systems with different entry profiles. This paper discusses the technical and economic feasibility of the two profiles of the hydroelectric turbine system. The paper analyses the velocity at input and output openings, the pressure exerted by the fluid on the turbine surface, and the temperature of the surface of circular and square profile respectively. The results will be further explained. Hydroelectric turbine systems can be used to meet the high demands of electricity; thus, such analysis is mandatory to attain maximum efficiency. This research paper highlights some of the advantages and disadvantages of a circular and a square profile for electricity generation. The research paper exhibits a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of a fluid flow through a hydro turbine using flow simulations for the two profiles for given flow rates. CFD is an important tool to determine such conditions using numerical analysis and data structures for fluid flow. An extensive study is conducted as well as numerical studies on a spiral case Francis turbine with a circular and square profile are conducted successfully. The prototype models were prepared on Solid works 2019. We have undertaken a three-dimensional steady simulation using the “flow simulation” feature of Solid works 2019 in order to compute the average flow features as well as inspect the all-round turbine performance.
