Prevalence of nausea and vomiting among children with cancer treatment
Cancer, when diagnosed in children, is a stressful experience for the child and family members. Cancer treatment is advancing and the treatment related side effects are very common among children. The prevalence of nausea, vomiting and retching is very frequent in children with chemotherapy. It is very essential to assess the children for any side effects of drugs. The study was conducted using descriptive study design on 125 children who met the inclusion criteria using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using Demographic and clinical variables Proforma and nausea, vomiting and retching were assessed using RHODES Index. The findings revealed about 80.8% of children were in the age group of 6- 10 years, the majority were males (68.8%) and a majority 68% of children had severe nausea and vomiting and feeling of retching during cancer treatment.

Pain perception of children undergoing chemotherapy
Pain is a very common and most stressful experience which a child faces during chemotherapy. Children with cancer need frequent pharmacological interventions to manage pain. As cancer is a chronic condition and cancer treatment-related symptoms like pain are reported by child and parents frequently. It is a known fact that cancer treatments are long term care which is associated with many side effects. This study aimed to examine the pain perceived by children with cancer. The study was conducted using a descriptive correlational design on 125 children who met the inclusion criteria using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using Demographic and clinical variables Proforma and pain was assessed using the Wong Bakers Face Pain Rating Scale. The findings revealed that the pain experienced by children with cancer during chemotherapy was 64.8%. There was no significant association between Selected Demographic Variables of Children and Pain (p>0.05).

A research on analysis of characteristic behavior of the M35 concrete due to addition crushed glass fibre
Many types of research have been currently going to modify and improved the concrete properties by the addition of different types of materials. This Experimental investigation represents the Optimum use of the fibres with the concrete mixture and will help in achieving the desired results. This Experimental work shows the investigation on M35 grade due to the incorporation of glass fibres. In this Experiment, we used the glass fibres of Filament diameter 14 microns with aspect ratio 857 at various percentages like 0%,0.4%.0.8%,1.2%.1.6 by the weight of concrete on M35 grade of mix proportion (1:1.60: 2.96) with water cement ratio 0.45.

Many types of research have been currently going to modify and improved the concrete properties by the addition of different types of materials. This Experimental investigation represents the Optimum use of the fibres with the concrete mixture and will help in achieving the desired results. This Experimental work shows the investigation on M35 grade due to the incorporation of glass fibres. In this Experiment, we used the glass fibres of Filament diameter 14 microns with aspect ratio 857 at various percentages like 0%,0.4%.0.8%,1.2%.1.6 by the weight of concrete on M35 grade of mix proportion (1:1.60: 2.96) with water cement ratio 0.45. Hence, in this research, the Experimental investigations and analysis of results were conducted to study the compressive, tensile and flexural behavior of composite concrete with varying percentage of such fibres added to it. The concrete mix adopted were M35 with varying percentage of fibres ranging from 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 & 1.6% by weight of concrete. On the analysis of test results, the concrete with straight glass fibres had improved performance as compared to the conventional concrete, which was readily available in the market. From the experimental investigation, It has been found that optimum dosage amount of glass fibre of concrete is 1.6 % by weight of concrete because at this point the compressive strength of GFRC increased up to 5 % as compared to plain concrete while the flexural Strength increased up to 53% and Split Tensile Strength increased up to 36% at 0.8% GF by weight of concrete The common person in their regular constructions could easily adopt these sustainable improvements or modifications.

Multilevel buck type DC-DC converter for high power and high voltage applications
Multilevel converters have been widely used in high voltage high power and high-frequency applications. Plenty of multilevel topologies have been developed. Medium (MV) and high voltage (HV) high power DC-DC converters have been intensively investigated to be used in several applications such as large offshore farms and subsea compressors. Normal buck converters are not suitable for HVDC applications. Thus a non-isolated buck-type multi-level DC-DC converter is introduced. The main features of this topology are the low voltage across the semiconductors, low switching losses and reduced volume of the output filter. A phase shifted PWM control method is used to avoid capacitor voltage unbalance problems. The converter is simulated successfully using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The hardware is implemented and the experimental results are verified.

Parametric analysis of multipliers
With the recent advancements, low power, low area and the quickest algorithms are in high demand. In this project, an effort is made to implement modular arithmetic operations like addition, multiplication is executed. The hardware description language used is Verilog. Each of these is implemented in Xilinx ISE 14.2 with Vertex 6 as the family and in Cadence 45nm technology. The area, power and the timings of each of these algorithms are tabulated. The layouts and the RTL schematic of these algorithms are also included. A designer whose objective is to design a system with arithmetic operations can make decision-based on these parameters. Therefore he has a stable and efficient system on his hands.
