 Abstract

Traditional uses of herbs in healthcare practices are providing clues to new areas of research; However, information on the uses of indigenous plants for medicine is not well documented from many rural areas of Tamilnadu including Kanyakumari District. The study aimed to look into the diversity of medicinal herbs that are used by local people of Agastheeswaram Taluk, Kanyakumari District, Tamilnadu, Southern India. Extensive field surveys are conducted in 12 areas for about two years from October 2014- October 2016 to survey the medicinal herbs and collect the information from villagers. A total of 150 medicinal herbs used by local people were documented. These medicinal herbs were distributed in 118 genera belonging to 46 families and 22 order under 8 clades / groups. Among the 150 species, 120 species belongs to dicotyledons and 30 species belongs to monocotyledons. The dominant clade is Asterids (53 species from 45 genera), followed by Rosides (38 species from 29 genera), Monocots (30 species from 24 genera), Superasterids (23 species from 16 genera). The most dominant family in the present study area is Asteraceae with 15 species followed by Amaranthaceae (12 species), Fabaceae (10 species), Poaceae (8 species), Euphorbiaceae (7 species). All these 150 medicinal herbs ethnomedicinally used, next to that 108 species used in folklore followed by Siddha (98 species), Ayurveda (86 species), Unani (38 species) and Homeopathy 13 species). Maximum mode of preparation juice (66 species) followed by paste (56 species), decoction (40 species). The maximum of whole plant (75 species) used for medicine followed by leaves (54 species), roots (19 species), seeds (12 species). This study focused the importance, utilization and conservation of the medicinal herbs among the people.

 Abstract

The restoration, conservation and management of lentic water bodies require proper understanding of an ecosystem. Assessment and monitoring of such water bodies provide the base line data on the condition of ecosystem. The present paper deals with the distribution and ecology of Cyanophyceae in relation to physico-chemical characteristics of water in four lentic water bodies of Koratagere taluk of Tumakuru district. Composite samples were taken at monthly intervals for the enumeration of Cyanophyceae. Total of 16 species under 12 genera were identified from all the four lakes studied. Gokalakatte lentic water body harboured 30.23% followed by Gattla gollahalli lentic water body (25.58%), Birdenahalli lentic water body (23.26%) and Tumbadi (20.93%). Seasonally, all the lentic water bodies recorded maximum density of Cyanophyceae during summer. Population of Cyanophyceae showed significant positive correlations at 5% level with temperature of air (r=0.727), temperature of water (r=0.717), sulphate (r=0.873), nitrate (r=0.740) and silica (r=0.810). Dissolved oxygen and free carbon dioxide exhibited negative impact on Cyanophycean population. Species of Anabaena, Microcystis and Oscillatoria have appeared during the entire period of investigation by resisting the stress caused by organic pollutants. Hence, these organisms are considered as pollution indicator organisms

Abstract: This study is undertaken to find out the attitude of the youth towards the women working in the tea gardens of Assam. With the change of the time the women have started to become bread winners of many families. Therefore, it is important to know the attitude of the people and in special way the attitude of the youth towards the women who are working to support the families. The support system of a working women depends on the attitude the significant others have on her profession. Working in the tea gardens has never been looked at as a favourable job by many. This is obvious from the way the women who are working in the tea gardens are being treated by the society. Youth being the future of any community it is important to understand their attitude towards the women who are working in the tea gardens. The study is an attempt to describe the attitude of the youth towards the women who are working in the tea gardens of Assam.

Optical Fiber Sensor technology is oldest and best sensing technique. Optical fiber sensor use to measurements in different parameters like pressure, temperature, vibration, rotation etc. Most of the optical sensors are based on the Intensity, phase and wavelength. Optical Fiber Sensors offer wide advantages over the sensing system, such as small in size, low cost, longer life etc. This paper presents an executive review and useful application of optical fiber sensors.

 Abstract

In recent years, there have been rise in the number of applications based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and have been successfully applied to different areas as diverse as transportation, health-care, agriculture, and hospitality industry to name a few. RFID technology facilitates automatic wireless identification using electronic passive and active tags with suitable readers. In this paper, an attempt is made to solve recurrent lecture attendance for laboratories monitoring problem in developing countries using RFID technology. The application of RFID to student attendance for labs monitoring as developed and deployed in this study is capable of eliminating time wasted during manual collection of attendance and an opportunity for the educational administrators to capture face-to-face classroom statistics for allocation of appropriate attendance scores and for further managerial decisions.

This paper describes the android smart phone to control the unmanned ground vehicle. The Unmanned Ground or Aerial Vehicle mainly used in secured places. Today android system is very popular. The controller can run the software and touch the screen on the smart phone to drive the vehicle. The vehicle is connected via wireless technology with help of smart phone application software. When a person or motor enters a monitored area, camera capture the image which is continuously sends to the control room. Camera connected to microcontroller keeps on capturing at the secured places and views all information of the secured section images by PC or TV. Voice communication also enable by using mike.
