The fast and unprecedented growth of urban centers has not resulted in safe travel. Deaths/ 100 accidents are much higher in many cities than the national average. The most vulnerable group of road users VRUs include Pedestrians, bicyclists and two wheeler riders comprising of 60-90% of the total fatalities in cities. At the city level, efforts to improve transport infrastructure often involve road widening, junction improvement for motorized vehicles, and construction of elevated roads. Infrastructure is not planned for majority VRU trips. This often limits the freedom of movement and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists and encourages private vehicle trips threatening sustainable urban transport needs. The paper summarizes various studies and accident prediction models developed for cities and conclude that promoting mixed land use to reduce trips, designing infrastructure keeping in mind the needs of VRUs and ensuring an easy and safe last mile travel after exiting a public transport may be some of the key interventions at the planning stage.

Prediction of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is essential for carrying out life cycle analysis of a pollutant. Meeting the effluent quality requirement for liquid phase is based on the regulations, but due to the process conversion products from the wastewater appear in the gaseous phase. An estimation of GHG emissions is the first step to apply process control and optimisation. In this study a middle-sized WWTP in Hungary was examined and based on analytical methods to emission was predicted. Environmental and process variables were also taken into account and the effect on the GHG emission was analysed.

The prevailing crisis in the area of biomedical waste management (BMW) has been exacerbated by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.Proper handling of biomedical waste is of utmost importance as hazardous and infectious nature of the waste can have severe repercussions for the human life as well as the environment. Also, it poses a number of challenges for safe collection, storage, transportation and disposal of the infectious waste.In this context, Government of India laid down Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules in 1998 which have been updated from time to time as per the need of hour. Recently, Government has revised the guidelines multiple times due to rapid increase in the number of Covid-19 related cases and deaths. In this scenario, thisreview article discusses about:(a) the revised guidelines along with practical issues in their effective implementation and (b) the impact of Covid-19on biomedical waste generation and challenges faced for its management in India.

Research in the area of developing low cost superconducting magnets is rapidly increasing to meet the demand in the areas of clean energy production, compact electrical machines and high field facilities for characterization of advanced materials. Keeping in view of these facts, a lab scale cost effective superconducting magnet system (6 Tesla) is designed and developed in house using Nb- Ti wire (0.43 mm nominal diameter, Cu: SC Ratio of 2:1). This paper describes astep by step procedure of former making, coil winding and testing procedure. Training of the superconducting magnet by repeated quenching is also described in this paper. Further, the axial variation of the magnetic field in the 1" bore confirms a uniform zone (±1%) in the central region over a length of 4 cm. The current to field ratio measured experimentally tallies with the theoretical calculation.
