Child rearing behaviors are directly perceived, interpreted and evaluated by the child while adaptive behaviors are indirectly perceived, interpret and evaluated by others. But these two behaviors are directly influence the personal development of the child.
Objectives: The main objectives of this study are to assess the correlation between the child rearing practices and adaptive behaviour in school going children.
Design: A descriptive research design was used for the study.
Setting: SRK matriculation school at Pachampalayam, Namakkal (Dist).
Sample: School going children, SRK matriculation school at Pachampalayam, Namakkal (Dist).
Sampling Technique: Purposive sampling technique was used.
Sampling criteria: School going children in the age group of 6-8 years and both the sex. Data collection: Rating scale was used to collect the data.
Result: From the findings of the study it can be conclude that the highest percentage of childrens were in the age group of 8 years. Most of them were female.Most of the children where the second child, Educational status of the mother were good, illiterate mothers are very rare and most of them were unemployed.60% of the mothers were authoritative in child rearing practice and similarly 60% of the children having well adaptive behaviour.

An important stage in microarray image analysis is gridding. Microarray image gridding is done to locate sub arrays in a microarray image and find co-ordinates of spots within each sub array. For accurate identification of spots, most of the proposed gridding methods require human intervention. In this paper a fully automatic gridding method which enhances spot intensity in the preprocessing step as per a histogram based threshold method is used. The gridding step finds co-ordinates of spots from horizontal and vertical profile of the image. To correct errors due to the grid line placement, a grid line refinement technique is proposed. The algorithm is applied on different image databases and results are compared based on spot detection accuracy and time. An average spot detection accuracy of 95.06% depicts the proposed method's flexibility and accuracy in finding the spot co-ordinates for different database images.Keywords

An automatic cDNA microarray image processing using an improved fuzzy clustering algorithm is presented in this paper. The spot segmentation algorithm proposed uses the gridding technique developed by the authors earlier, for finding the co-ordinates of each spot in an image. Automatic cropping of spots from microarray image is done using these co-ordinates. The present paper proposes an improved fuzzy clustering algorithm Possibility fuzzy local information c means (PFLICM) to segment the spot foreground (FG) from background (BG). The PFLICM improves fuzzy local information c means (FLICM) algorithm by incorporating typicality of a pixel along with gray level information and local spatial information. The performance of the algorithm is validated using a set of simulated cDNA microarray images added with different levels of AWGN noise. The strength of the algorithm is tested by computing the parameters such as the Segmentation matching factor (SMF), Probability of error (pe), Discrepancy distance (D) and Normal mean square error (NMSE). SMF value obtained for PFLICM algorithm shows an improvement of 0.9 % and 0.7 % for high noise and low noise microarray images respectively compared to FLICM algorithm. The PFLICM algorithm is also applied on real microarray images and gene expression values are computed.Keywords

The cDNA microarray image provides useful information about thousands of gene expressions simultaneously. This information is used by bioinformatics researchers for diagnosis of different diseases and drug designs. Microarray image spot segmentation using an improved fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed in this article. The proposed Possibilistic Reformed Fuzzy Local Information C Means (PRFLICM) algorithm is a variant of Possibilistic Fuzzy Local Information C Means (PFLICM) algorithm. The parameters used for testing the proposed algorithm include segmentation matching factor (SMF), probability of error (pe), discrepancy distance (D), normalized mean square error and sum of square distance (SSD). The performance of the algorithm is validated with a set of simulated cDNA microarray images with known gene expression values. From the results of SMF, the proposed PRFLICM shows an improvement of 0.4% and 0.1% for high noise and low noise microarray images respectively when compared to PFLICM algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to yeast microarray database (YMD) and is used to find the yeast cell life cycle generated genes. The results show that the proposed algorithm has identified 101 cell life cycle regulated genes out of 104 such genes published in the YMD database.Keywords

In this paper, a multi-wavelet transform with decimated frequency bands is proposed to be used in the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm to improve fingerprint image compression. Either shuffled or unshuffled multi-wavelets can be used for SPIHT algorithm. In both the cases, the quality of the compressed images at lower bit rates either remained the same or slightly improved compared to wavelets. To improve the performance at lower bit rates, a method which utilizes the decimated version of multi-wavelet for the initialization of lists in SPIHT algorithm is used. The multi-wavelet used for the proposed work is SA4 (Symmetric-Antisymmetric). The algorithm was tested and verified using NIST, Shivang Patel, NITGEN and other databases. An overall improvement in performance particularly at lower bit rates (0.01 to 0.09) compared to a multi-wavelet without decimation was obtained using this method. The improvement was 0.798dB, 0.857dB and 0.859dB for the images in NITGEN database for a multi-wavelet decimated by 2, 4 and 8 respectively. Similar performances were observed for other databases. It was further observed that the PSNR was highest when the multi-wavelet was decimated by a factor of 4.Keywords
