Text line segmentation is an essential pre-processing stage for off-line handwriting recognition in many Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems. It is an important step, as inaccurately segmented text lines will cause errors in the subsequent recognition stage. Text line segmentation of handwritten documents is still one of the most complicated problems in developing a reliable OCR. The nature of handwriting styles makes the process of text line segmentation very challenging. This paper provides a means of text line segmentation using Vertical Strip Projection based method. In this paper, the document is divided into vertical strips of appropriate width. Strip-wise horizontal histograms are then computed and the relationship of the peak valley points is used for line segmentation. Though the global horizontal projection method works efficiently for printed documents, it becomes highly unreliable when used in case of unconstrained handwritten text because of many factors like variable skew, touching and overlapping lines. The proposed method provides much improved and reliable results when compared to global horizontal profile method in case of skewed and variable sloping lines. Segmentation accuracy of 83% is achieved for handwritten Kannada text using the proposed method.Keywords

Background and Purpose: The word stress typically describes the negative concept where it affects the physical and mental fitness of human.Teacher’s stress is a real phenomenon and associated with number of variables. Stress among the College teachers is caused mainly because of student’s attitudes.
Method: This study is based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data is collected from Female Government College Teachers working in Cheyyar. The researcher distributed 100 questionnaires to the Select Female Government College teachers working in Cheyyar Taluk. The researcher used convenience sampling method.
Results: The highest stress score of 368 is attributed to ‘Responsibility to increase the pass percentage of the slow learners makes me to get stress’. Professional development is needed in order to grow andthem reflect professionally.In order to reduce stress and increase retention,teachers need better professional development that they can see as useful contributions to theirteaching.
Conclusion: Promote new learning experiences among staff, they should actively participate in organizational committees and groups in correlation with their council; engage staff in the change process and reward positive changes in behavior and practices. More motivatedactivities can be organised to help teachers develop their positive relationships withstudents.

Background and Purpose: Stress is a part and parcel of our very existence, and probably the only stress free state is death. Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. The objective of this study is to find out the work stress in Female physiotherapist and to reduce their stress by the way of remedial strategies.
Method: This study is based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data is collected from female Physiotherapist working in Thiruvannamalai and Kanchipuram District. The researcher distributed 30 questionnaires to the Select Female Physiotherapist.The researcher used convenience sampling method to collect data from the respondents. Pearsons chi-square test is used to anatomically analyze the primary data.
Results: Stress causing factors should be detected and procedures should be followed to balance these factors. The results show that the level of stress in most of female Physiotherapist is in medium level. These results are similar to other studies.
Conclusion: Promote new learning experiences among staff, they should actively participate in organizational committees and groups in correlation with their council; engage staff in the change process and reward positive changes in behavior and practices.In short, this work provides some insight about the level of stress among female physiotherapists Thiruvannamalai and Kanchipuram District.
