A floristic survey was conducted to assess the agrobiodiversity in the homegardens of Chirakkarai village, Kanyakumari district. Two hundred and thirty eight plant species belonging to 194 genera and 81 families were collected from 5 homegardens. Among these, 49 species (20.59%) were trees, 58 (24.37%) shrubs, 102 (42.86%) herbs and 29 (12.18%) were climbers including lianas. Of the economically important species, medicinal plant ranked first with 98 species (41.18%) followed by 74 species of fodder value and 37 species (15.55%) were of ornamental importance. The results inferred that homegardens are rich in agrobiodiversity and are interesting for ethnobotanical research, and need to be considered for in situ conservation and development programmes.Keywords

Testing is a process used to verify the correctness of the systems. In this project testing is carried out to detect the two stuck at fault namely stuck at 0 and stuck at 1. Here, the sequential circuits are designed based on conservative logic gates which automatically detect the two stuck at faults. Any sequential designs can be tested for classical unidirectional stuck at faults using only two test vectors such as all 1s and all 0s. Two vectors testable latches, master-slave flip-flops and dual edge triggered flip-flops are designed. The importance of this design lies in the fact that it provides the design of reversible sequential circuits completely testable for any stuck at fault by only two test vectors. Thereby eliminating the need of any type of scan-path access to internal memory cells. The sequential circuits are simulated using Xilinx 13.2 version. This method provides 100% fault coverage for single missing/additional cell defect in the quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) design of Fredkin gate. The layout of the Fredkin gate was simulated by using QCA designer.Keywords

Enhancement of low contrast medical images is important for diagnosis of diseases. This paper presents a new approach for image enhancement using Shearlet Transform (ST). Enhancement includes increasing the contrast of the image and edge enhancement. The algorithm is based on modification of Shearlet coefficients by point-wise processing and reconstructing the modified coefficients. For further improvement of the processed image, the enhanced image is followed by adaptive histogram equalization. ST can fully capture the directional and other geometrical features at various scales and directions. In addition, it is highly effective in detecting both location and orientation of the edges, hence enhancement using ST provide good results. Ultrasound, mammogram and retinal images were examined. The proposed ST is compared with Contourlet and Wavelet Transform in terms of Entropy and is observed that the proposed method shows better enhancement of images.Keywords

Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the self care practices of diabetic clients regarding management of type II diabetes mellitus. Methodology: A quantitative research approach involving descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted in selected urban area of Bangalore in the state of Karnataka. To achieve the objective of the study, a non-probability -purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 60 diabetic clients who had type II diabetes mellitus. The data was collected by using self care practice assessment questionnaire using interviewing technique. Instrument validity was determined through content validity, by a panel of experts. Reliability of the instrument was determined through the use of K-R21 formula which was found to be 0.82. Analysis of the data was performed by using descriptive statistics. Results: The results of the study showed that 32 (53.33%) of the diabetic clients had moderate level of self care practice followed by 28 (46.66%) with poor level of self care practice regarding management of diabetes mellitus. None of them had good self care practice that would have helped them to manage the disease effectively. Conclusion: The researcher concludes that most of the diabetic clients have inadequate self care practices regarding management of diabetes mellitus. Recommendation: Diabetes and its complications can largely be prevented if appropriate and timely measures are taken. Health education plays a very crucial role in prevention and control of diabetes and its complications. Importantly, repeated health education/reinforcement and motivation are bound to bring a positive change in self care practices with regard to diabetes control.Keywords

Globally more than 1.3 million people die of the tuberculosis every year. Nearly one third of the world's population is infected with TB Bacilli; approximately 10% of them have a life time risk of developing tuberculosis disease. Thus the descriptive study was thus undertaken with the objectives to assess and compare the knowledge, attitude regarding pulmonary tuberculosis of pulmonary tuberculosis patients under intensive and continuation phase, to determine the compliance of pulmonary tuberculosis patients to anti tuberculosis treatment (ATT).
The research design selected for this study was descriptive-co relational survey design. The study was conducted at selected DOTS centre of district Ambala, Haryana, India. A total of 67 samples were selected purposively for the study - 32 patients receiving ATT under intensive phase and 35 patients receiving ATT under continuation phase. The tool used for data collection was a structured knowledge questionnaire, an attitude scale and Performa to assess Compliance rate.
From the study findings, it was found that the pulmonary tuberculosis patients in both the phases had poor knowledge regarding pulmonary tuberculosis and ATT, moderately favorable attitude and had 100% compliance rate. There was markedly positive correlation between knowledge and attitude of patients under both phases of treatment. The knowledge of the tuberculosis patients under intensive phase was dependent on education whereas it was gender among the patients under continuation phase.
