Disease impact of congenital heart disease- parents vs. children perspective
The paper analyses the Disease impact on patients as well as their parents, with congenital heart diseases. The aim of the study is to analyze the perspective of adolescents and their parents on perception about the disease. The study was initiated to compare the attitude of parents and children (age 13-18 years), who can lead a normal life after corrective surgery/treatment. Methods: The data was collected from two reputed hospitals of Delhi, having pediatric cardiology department running for almost more than 10 years. A Questionnaire from PCQLI was used to collect data, with their permission. The questionnaire is already valid and reliable. A study was conducted, with permission from hospital authorities. A sample of around 30 patients (Parents /Children) were collected to study the quality of life aspect using various Disease impact parameters. An independent sample t-test was applied to compare the perspective of two groups. Findings: The result was analyzed between the perspective difference between parents and children population on the Disease impact aspect. The data showed some variables reflect a significant difference between parents and children but some variables do not reflect any difference. Recommendation: The findings from the study indicate a need to peep into Disease impact aspect and would help the treatment provider to better treatment methods of patients with congenital heart disease so that they can be helped to better manage their health perspective in future.

Effect of variable process parameter of MIG welding on aluminium alloy 6061-T6
The increasing use of aluminum alloys (6061-T6) in shipbuilding, aeronautics, marine frames, railway vehicles, bridges, offshore structure topsides, and automobile industry relevance due to its light weight and high strength to weight ratio. The present investigation is designed to study the effect of various process parameters (welding current, voltage, and angle of the torch.) in metal inert gas (MIG) welding processes on a bead on the plate of aluminum alloy 6061-T6. In this alloy, the weld fusion zone has coarse columnar grains because of the unequal heat distribution during weld metal solidification. Electrode material has selected for MIG welding as ER4043. Taguchi’s optimization technique and orthogonal array matrix were used to optimize and selection of the process parameters for better results.

Real time vehicle monitoring
The paper has an monitoring the vehicle through GPS. It is the combination of electronic devices and in a vehicle and computer software. The main purpose of the paper is to design and developed to construct a handheld wireless device to monitor vehicles through GPS tracking through the internet. It has the Global Positioning System(GPS), Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM) it is controlled by ARM7 LPC2148, and General Packet Radio Service(GPRS) to visible current Location. The modern vehicle tracking uses the GPS or Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) for locating the vehicle.

Introduction to sets of linear regression models – A brief review
Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE) model is the generalization of the linear regression model. Zellner (1962) proposed the SURE model and its various associated estimators, test statistics and generalizations have generated a substantial body of literature on sets of linear regression models. Here we specify the SURE models with the assumptions and also explains different estimation methods such as Ordinary Least Squares(OLS), Generalized Least Squares (GLS), Zellner’s Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS), Seemingly Unrelated Unrestricted Residual (SUUR) and Seemingly Unrelated Restricted Residual (SURR) have been explained with their properties.

Ergonomic design of car driver seat
Ergonomics is a branch of science drawing from physiology, engineering and psychology studies. Basic properties of vehicle interior are described. Car seat design, upholstery fabrics and passenger safety have been particularly emphasized. Textile fabrics as products providing comfort, safety and aesthetics of the vehicle interior were dealt with. Safety belts, airbags and car seat covers were especially pointed out. Specific problems related to the safety of passengers, whose anthropometric measurements deviate from the average ones, were addressed. There are the movements of drivers while driving the car. The anthropometric data are available for ergonomic design of car driver seat.

A study on high volume fly-ash concrete made with steel fiber
The use of concrete containing high volume fly-ash (HVFC) has recently gained popularity as a resource efficient, durable, and sustainable option for a variety of concrete applications. If containing fibrous material which increases its structural integrity. It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented. In this research two categories, HVFC with fiber mixture is prepared one containing 40% fly-ash and other 50% fly-ash. For each mixture prepare M20, M25 and M30 grade concrete with fiber. The HVFC with fiber mixture reached similar to the ordinary concrete mix, due to the pozzolanic properties of the fly-ash and the lower water-cement ratio. The setting time for the HVFC with fiber mixtures was approximately six to seven hours longer than those of ordinary concrete mix. The drying shrinkage of concrete is directly influenced by the amount and the quality of the cement paste present. It increases with an increase in the cement paste-to-aggregate ratio in the concrete mixture, and also increases with the water content of the paste. Clearly, the water-reducing property of fly ash can be advantageously used for achieving a considerable reduction in the drying shrinkage of concrete mixtures. In HVFC with fiber mixture the heat of hydration is slower that raise the temperature difference between the interior and exterior concrete should not be more that is good for avoiding thermal cracking and presence of fiber the bonding of concrete is good, so in this concrete, the cracks are not easily developed. Use of steel fiber in concrete its increase the tensile strength of concrete. Due to the high volume of fines and low water content, fresh concrete mixtures of the HVFC with fiber system are generally very cohesive and show a little or no bleeding and segregation They show excellent pump-ability and workability at slumps as low as 125 mm, however, more-then 125 mm slump values may be specified with heavily reinforced structures. Consequently, the surface finish is usually smooth pleasing and without honeycombs and bug-holes. For countries like China and India, this technology can play an important role in meeting the huge demand for infrastructure in a sustainable manner
