AI-Powered Load Prediction for Ultra-Scalable High Performance APIs
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are essential to modern digital services because they are used to connect distributed applications, microservices, and cloud platforms. With the rising need of real-time applications globally, APIs have to be able to support the high request volumes with the low latency and high availability. Old fashioned load balancing and resource allocation schemes tend to be reactive and rely on some predetermined threshold or historical average, preventing them in very dynamic traffic conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to provide more opportunities in predictive infrastructure management since it allows them to foresee fluctuations in workload and proactively allocate resources.

Impact of Transformation of IC Automobile Engines to EV Lithium Batteries and then to Hydrogen Technology based Automobiles on Global Environment
Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries are replacing conventional internal combustion (IC) engine vehicles powered by fossil fuels in the global transportation sector, which is undergoing a significant technological transition. Eventually, hydrogen-based fuel cell vehicles will replace EVs. A key tactic for addressing climate change, cutting air pollution, and advancing sustainable energy systems is this shift. Due to their heavy reliance on petroleum fuels, internal combustion engines (IC engines) are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, urban air pollution, and environmental degradation through particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Global warming and public health issues have escalated due to the combined environmental impact of fossil fuel extraction, refinement, and burning. Using EVs with lithium-ion batteries can significantly lower tailpipe emissions and enhance the quality of the air in cities. EVs can significantly reduce lifecycle carbon emissions when used in conjunction with renewable energy sources to generate electricity. However, there are still environmental issues with lithium mining, cobalt extraction, battery production, and recycling or disposal at the end of life. If resource-intensive extraction methods are not managed effectively, they may result in ecological imbalance, water contamination, and land degradation. Therefore, to optimize environmental benefits, advancements in battery recycling technology and circular economy techniques are crucial. The newest development in clean transportation is represented by hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, or FCVs. Like EVs, hydrogen-powered cars have no tailpipe emissions and only release water vapor when in use. The total carbon footprint can be greatly reduced when hydrogen is created using environmentally friendly techniques like electrolysis powered by renewable energy. However, there are technical, financial, and environmental obstacles to large-scale hydrogen production, storage, and infrastructure development. Whether hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels or renewable resources has a significant influence on the environment (gray hydrogen). All things considered, the shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles and ultimately to hydrogen-powered vehicles offers a solution to reduce transportation's carbon footprint and meet global climate goals. Although there are progressive environmental benefits at each level, ensuring that this transformation produces long-term ecological and socioeconomic benefits requires the combination of renewable energy, sustainable material procurement, technical innovation, and regulatory assistance.

Secure Scalable Cloud Architectures with Anomaly Detection Using Kubernetes and AKS
Designing data architectures for the cloud that are scalable requires elasticity, stable performance, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency. These measurements must be taken in both a dynamic and randomized way. This paper presents a summation-centric, cloud-native framework for scalable data pipelines that have been deployed on Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This strategy attempts to address the issue of global workload aggregation for data ingestion and processing. This enables estimations of arrival rate, service rate, queue length, and resource consumption that are all mathematically estimable. A control system that operates in a closed loop integrates summation workload aggregation, queue length stabilization, predictive control of the system, inverse load distribution, and resiliency with checkpoints in order to maintain the equilibrium of the system and equilibrium of the system in a proactive way.

Judicial Directives vs Ground Realities: Water Pollution Trends in Najafgarh Drain and Yamuna River (August 2019– August 2023)
Background: The Yamuna River is a very important resource of water for the people of Delhi is still oneof the most polluted rivers in India.Najafgarh Drain (Sahibi River), which is its tributary, carries almost 60%of the pollution load in March- 2020. The National Green Tribunal gave strict order to stop illegal water pollutingindustries and made sure that effective treatment systems to workproperly. Then came the COVID-19lockdown which gave us a rare chance to study the effect of reduced human activity on water quality ofthe Yamuna River. Aim: This study looks at how well judicial orders worked to improve the water quality bycomparing pollution trends in Najafgarh Drain and the Yamuna River during the pre-COVID lockdownand post-lockdown periods. Methods: Monthly water quality data (COD, BOD, TSS for Najafgarh Drain and COD, BOD and DO for Yamuna) fromAugust 2019 to August 2023 were studied. We used basic statistics, time series, trends andinterrupted time series approach with March 2020 as the point when the judicial orders started. Wecompared the pollution trends with judicial orders to see the impact of enforcement. Results: There were some temporary improvement during April to July 2020 with COD and BODshowing a significant drop and DO in the Yamuna River going up to 4.2 mg/L for a brief period. However, theseimprovements did not last long. By 2021–2023, COD in the Yamuna Riverwent over 270 mg/L and BODexceeded 70 mg/L. Najafgarh drain showed COD over 350 mg/L and BOD above 80 mg/L. DO in theYamuna dropped back to zero, showing the river was still in bad condition and required moreimprovements. Trends clearly showed that pollution of Najafgarh drain directly impacted waterquality of the river Yamuna and responsible for its bad condition. Conclusion: This study shows that there is still a big gap between judicial orders and real world results.Even though there were strong court orders, pollution worsened after 2021. This shows that legalorders alone can’t fix the problem. To improve things in the long run, we need better enforcement,monitoring and investment in working sewage treatment systems. Without these, the River Yamuna willcontinue to get worse, even with judicial action.

How Do Recursive Numeric Residues and Base-2 Modular Offsets Naturally Mirror the 57-Cell's Structural Symmetry?
The research examines how recursive numeric residues, base-2 modular symmetry, and offset normalization naturally generate numeric patterns closely aligned with the structural symmetries of high-dimensional geometries, particularly the 57-cell. Employing a fibristic and Mohandase methodological framework, the study systematically traces numeric relationships emerging from simple recursive operations and decimal residues, notably around prime offsets such as 19. By explicitly analyzing numeric normalization and diagonal offsets, the investigation reveals harmonic proportions and numeric alignments that inherently reflect established geometric and group-theoretic configurations, including PSL(2,19). Rather than positing theoretical novelties, this exploration transparently synthesizes observed numerical alignments that closely resonate with known polytope structures. Comprehensive numeric analyses, along with detailed appendices, clarify these naturally arising structural resonances, establishing a clear, jargon-free basis for further empirical visualization and computational validation presented in subsequent research.
