Blockchain is a decentralized and shared distributed ledger that records the transaction history done by totally different nodes within the whole network. The technology is practically used in the field of education for record-keeping, digital certification, etc. There have already been several papers published on this, but no one can't find a single paper covering the blockchain-based educational projects. So, There is a gap of latest trends to education. Blockchain-based educational projects resolve the issues of today's educators. On that basis, we conclude that there is a need for conducting a systematic literature review. This study, therefore, reviews the artistic gap between these two based on educational projects. For this purpose, the paper focuses on exploring some block-chain based projects and protocols that are used in these projects. It also analyses the block-chain features that are being used and the services are offered by the existing educational projects using block-chain features to improve the execution of this technology in education.

This work improves the performance of an electric vehicle (EV) traction system by using non-linear fractional-order proportional-integral (FO-PI) controller. The functionality of FO-PI controller is benchmarked against integer-order proportionalintegral (IO-PI) controller. A 400 V, 6.6 Ah Li-ion battery bank is designed to power an indirect field-oriented induction motor driven prototype EV traction system. The appeal of this study is to reveal the simplicity, robustness, and effectiveness of FO-PI speed regulator for EV traction system. The efficacy of FO-PI speed regulator for EV applications is validated through rigorous experimentation. The FO-PI controller due to its non-linear nature proves to be more robust and effective under variation of a system's parameters and external disturbances as compared to IO-PI controller. Furthermore, the experimental results show that FO-PI control strategy provides higher torque per amp output while maintaining better voltage and state-of-charge profiles of the Li-ion battery bank.

Colletotrichum nymphaeae is the dominant species causing anthracnose disease of peach in China. In this study, 140 isolates of C. nymphaeae were assessed for their sensitivity to six fungicides. It was found that C. nymphaeae was highly resistant to carbendazim, procymidone and boscalid but sensitive to pyraclostrobin and prochloraz. For fludioxonil, the fungus exhibited differential sensitivities, i.e., approximately 14% of isolates were resistant to fludioxonil and the resistance was stable. Fludioxonil-resistant isolates had a mean EC50 value of 2.2380 µg/ml, while the mean EC50 value was 0.0194 µg/ml in fludioxonil-sensitive isolates. The mean EC50 values of C. nymphaeae for pyraclostrobin and prochloraz were 0.0083 µg/ml and 0.002 µg/ml, respectively. No cross-resistance was observed between fungicides from different groups. Mycelial growth rate, control efficacy and osmotic stress responses were significantly different (P < 0.05) between fludioxonil sensitive (FluS) and resistant (FluR) isolates, but no significant difference was observed (P > 0.05) in virulence and sporulation between FluS and FluR isolates. No mutation was detected in coding regions of the CnOs-1, Cal, Hk1, Hog1, TPI and Mrr1 genes. Interestingly, with fludioxonil treatment, the expression of ABC transporter gene atrB was significantly over-expressed in some resistant isolates. However, over-expression of the atrB gene was not detected in one moderately and one highly resistant isolate, indicating that other unknown mechanisms may be involved. Current findings uncovered several effective chemicals and provided the foundation to design management strategies to practically control peach anthracnose with the most effective DMI and QoI fungicides.
