Abstract

Parenting is a complex activity that includes many specific behaviors that work individual and together to influence child outcomes. Family atmosphere is very important factor, which contributes to the parent-child relationship. The present study includes identifying various parenting models which have been used for gathering information about the problems of adolescents according gender and socio-economic status. A total of 60 adolescents under the age group 15, 16 and 17 in which 30 boys and 30 girls were selected for the present investigation from Mysore city. Different schools and colleges were selected which comes under the same area of Mysore city. Random sampling technique was employed to assess the parenting style and adolescent problems. The variables like gender, socio economic status have taken to identify the results. P-scale which includes six parenting models and Mooney problem check-list which includes eleven areas with 30 items have been taken. It keeps the students in expressing their personal problems. The results revealed that the fathers show negative mode of parenting towards boy child, but mothers show positive mode of parenting mode. And low income of the family hinders the marital adjustment according to adolescents. Regarding the problems, adolescents boys find more difficulty in Finance, living conditions& employment (FLE) and Adjustment to school work (ASW) compared to girls. Lower income family adolescent's find more problems in finance, living conditions&employment (FLE) and the future vocational&educational (FVE) areas.

Abstract

Domestic violence that is any act of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, or the threat of such abuse, inflicted against a woman by a person intimately connected to her through marriage, family relation, or acquaintanceship is universal and has its ischolar_main in the socio-cultural set up of the society. Domestic violence can be Psychological Abuse, Social Abuse, Financial Abuse, Physical Assault and/or Sexual Assault. In developing cities the rates of domestic violence against women are high. Domestic violence has attracted the attention of the general public and the judiciary in the city due to series of unpleasant incidents the loss of life and threat to life in several parts of the city. There were several cases of women who were ill treated, tortured and even murdered for not meeting the demands of the so called head of the family. The ultimate solution lies in awareness building geared through determined community action. In this study, efforts have been made to find out the prevalent forms of domestic violence, the factors leading to it, economic status of the family, the awareness of Domestic Violence Act' 2005, the utilization of the Act and also impact of the Act. The present study included sections on the prevalent forms of domestic violence, the factors leading to it, economic status of the family, the awareness of Domestic Violence Act' 2005, the utilization of the Act and also impact of the Act on the lives of victims. A total of 15 women victims of domestic violence were selected from the centers for the study. Through Case history method consolidated raw data were framed. The results revealed that Domestic violence in the form of physical attack was a common feature, the most prevalent cause of violence is extra marital relations of husbands, most of the victims belonged to middle income group families and are aware of the Domestic Violence Act and the reason for not utilizing the Act is because of fear of social stigma.

Abstract

The importance of notice board in every academic is well known to us. Wireless multipoint Digi board is an electronic wireless notice board that can be used to display various information in public places and institutions. The notice board we have proposed in this module works on a raspberian platform which is powered by ARM1176JZF-S processor which acts as the heart of the system. The Raspberry Pi of model B is employed for this purpose. Transfer of information is employed by using Wi-Fi technology. The information created in the database of the college website are transferred to the main server to be displayed in the notice board. Information can also be given directly from the main server to the notice board. The server which is password protected transfers the message through Wi-Fi module to the Raspberry Pi, which displays the message in the LCD display attached to it. The server is provided with an EEPROM to store the messages which can be referred later when needed. The messages are displayed in a scrolling fashion which prevents overlapping of new message with the previous message. Herein we have proposed to transform our college notice board which is being manually operated into digitalized wireless notice board.

Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of effective cache placement in multi-hop wireless networks. We consider a network comprising a server with an interface to the wired network, and other nodes requiring access to the information stored at the server. In order to reduce access latency in such a communication environment, an effective strategy is caching the server information at some of the nodes distributed across the network. Caching, however, can imply a considerable overhead cost; for instance, disseminating information incurs additional energy as well as bandwidth burden. Since wireless systems are plagued by scarcity of available energy and bandwidth, we need to design caching strategies that optimally trade-off between overhead cost and access latency. We pose our problem as an integer linear program. We devise a polynomial time algorithm which provides a sub optimal solution. The proposed algorithm applies to any arbitrary network topology and can be implemented in a distributed and asynchronous manner.

Abstract

Digital image processing is a subset of the electronic domain wherein the image is converted to an array of small integers, called pixels, representing a physical quantity such as scene radiance, stored in a digital memory, and processed by computer or other digital hardware. Edges characterize boundaries and Edge detection is one of the most difficult tasks in image processing hence it is a problem of fundamental importance in image processing. Edges in images are areas with strong intensity contrasts and a jump in intensity from one pixel to the next can create major variation in the picture quality. Edge detection of an image significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image.
Fuzzy logic represents a good mathematical framework to deal with uncertainty of information. Fuzzy image processing is the collection of all approaches that understand, represent and process the images, their segments and features as fuzzy sets. The representation and processing depend on the selected fuzzy technique and on the problem to be solved. This research problem deals with Fuzzy inference system (FIS) which represents greater robustness to contrast and lighting variations. Further tuning of the weights associated to the fuzzy inference rules is still necessary to reduce even more inclusion in the output image of pixels not belonging to edges.

Abstract

STRUCTURED data in Web pages usually contain important information. Such data are often retrieved from underlying databases and displayed in Web pages using fixed templates. In this paper, we call these structured data objects data records. There are two main approaches to data extraction, wrapper induction and automatic extraction. In wrapper induction, a set of data extraction rules are learnt from a set of manually labeled pages. However, manual labeling is labor intensive and time consuming. For different sites or even pages in the same site, manual labeling needs to be repeated because different sites may follow different templates.

Keywords

Data Extraction, Data Record Alignment, Visual Cues.

Abstract

Among the varieties of fruits and vegetables, carrot and orange have colorful flesh and antioxidant property. Nuts like almond have been increasingly paid attention on the basis of their nutritional aspects and powerful natural antioxidants, which provide various beneficial health effects. As a consequence, a successful combination of Carrot, Orange Flesh and Almond (COFA) were processed in to COFA flour. The prepared COFA flour was incorporated into wheat flour for enriching its nutritional quality. The antioxidant enriched wheat flour was used for recipe preparation. The physico-chemical analysis of flour and sensory evaluation were done to know the acceptability of developed wheat based recipes. The antioxidants vitamins like A, C and E had increased when compared with normal wheat flour. From the results it was found that the developed flour and recipes have not only improved in terms of nutritional value and health benefits, but also have high potential of being accepted by consumers.
