Challenging role of dietitian to improve oral food intake in a post bone marrow transplant patient – A case report
Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) involves the administration of high doses of chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications, and infusion of marrow cells. During and after treatment, patients may develop a poor appetite, mucositis, anorexia and gastrointestinal failure which severely affect the food intake and leads to malnutrition (1, 2). It is important to follow dietary guidelines for post bone marrow transplant patient to improve or maintain nutritional intake. The dietary approach varies from patient to patient based on their condition. This case report explains the crucial role of a dietitian to improve the nutrient intake and nutritional status of the post bone marrow transplant patient.

A comparative analysis of IoT features between AWS and Azure
The technological advancements in the area of “Internet of Things” (IoT) have taken a big leap in the last few years. IoT has changed our surrounding in many ways, some of which is noticeable and some are unnoticeable. These days Organizations are investing huge funds in the field of IoT. Internet of Things (IoT) is basically the identification of objects in the LAN or WAN by providing the objects a unique IP address. Objects, pets or humans are equipped with embedded sensors, which helps them to routinely transfer data over the LAN/WAN without any human intervention. IoT is a swiftly growing technology which is making customers life more prolific and enjoyable. In this paper, we will try to compare the features of services offered by AWS and Azure with respect to the IoT Platform. Both Azure and AWS are market leaders in cloud-based IoT and offers numerous services for users to work on the IoT platform.

Study on effect of rice husk ash (pozzolanic and green supplementary material) on concrete
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is a highly reactive Pozzolanic material that can be used for replacement of cement at various percentages. The Rice milling industry generates a huge amount of rice husk during milling of paddy which comes from the agricultural field. This rice husk can be used as supplementary cementing material with Ordinary Portland cement. The main aim of this review paper is to show the modified properties of concrete made from the addition of RHA in different percentages. The effects of RHA on concrete properties such that compressive strength, workability, tensile strength shall be investigated.

Importance of good nutrition during hospitalization
Good nutrition is deemed mandatory during hospitalization to prevent patients from vulnerable infections, enabling speedy recovery, fast wound healing and avoid frequent hospital readmissions. Clinical dietitian in a healthcare setup is the right person to ensure that patients are getting enough nutrition. Dietitians discuss and find out the nutritional status of the patient and provide support during the course of hospitalization as well as provide a nutritional plan to be followed at home at the time of discharge.

Tooling Platform – Future of software forge
Tooling platform is an open-source software forge. Software forge is a web-based collaborative software platform which can be used for both developing and sharing software applications. Different independent projects can be stored and shared using the Tooling platform. It also acts as a place for maintaining the source code developed by the software development team. It also provides the way for version control of the stored source code. Documentation feature provided in the Tooling platform provides easy maintenance of the developed software application. For users, it can also act as a repository of computer applications. Software forges have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Forging software is proven to be a successful software development model for many software projects. Tooling platform is used for managing source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs for single or any number of individual projects.

Machine learning approach for flight delay prediction
In the cutting edge world, aircraft assume an essential job for transporting individuals and products on time. Any deferral in the timings of these flights can unfavorably influence the work, what's more, the business of thousands of individuals at any given minute. Estimating these postponements is essential amid the arranging procedure in business aircraft. A few procedures have just been proposed for outlining models to gauge the deferral in takeoff time of air ship. In our paper, a two-stage predictive model was developed employing supervised machine learning algorithms for the prediction of flights. The first stage of the model performs binary classification to predict the occurrence of flight delays and the second stage does the regression to predict the value of the delay in minutes. Then, each of the algorithms’ prediction accuracy and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were compared. Furthermore, an application was fabricated utilizing the model which uses highlights that are promptly accessible before the takeoff of a plane furthermore, can educate travelers and aircraft about flight delays in advance, To reduce the monetary losses.
