The entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana (2 × 106 conidia/g), Metarhizium anisopliae (1 × 109 conidia/g) and Lecanicillium lecanii (2 × 107 conidia/g) @ 5 g/l as bag treatment and 5g/kg of paddy as grain treatment alone, their interactions and the compatibility of entomopathogenic fungi @ 5g/kg with two vegetable oils (2 ml/kg) viz., sunflower oil and groundnut oil were tested against the progeny build-up of lesser grain borer, R. dominica. In the grain treatment, least progeny of 122.33 was observed with B. bassiana followed by M. anisopliae (130.67) which were at par at 180 DAT. Among the bag treatment, M. anisopliae recorded the lower progeny of 266.33 followed by B. bassiana (291.00) and L. lecanii (298.67) which were at par with each other but were significantly different from control (366.33). In the study of interaction effects, Beauveria + Metarhizium + Lecanicillium had recorded least progeny of 119.67 followed by Beauveria + Metarhizium (122.00) and were superior over all other treatments. In the study of compatibility of entomopathogenic fungi with edible oils, progeny build up recorded at 180 DAT was found to be less with Beauveria + Groundnut oil (118.33) followed by Metarhizium + Groundnut oil (121.33) compared to oils alone, sunflower (307.67) and groundnut (252.33) but were significantly different from control (517.00).Keywords

Consumer behaviour study is an effort to understand the buying tendencies of buyers for their end use. Consumer buying decisions direct how healthy the company's selling policy fits market demand. The persistent invention in electronic products accompanied by great price war followed by various opponent products available in every market, has commanded sellers to focus on the consumers' buying behaviour. This study examines the effect of influencing determinants on consumer buying decision of electronic products amongst different socio-demographic profiles. The comprehensive analysis indicates that social and personal factors are strongly associated with the consumer buying decision of consumers which supports our previous study on similar ground and situational determinant is the new which play almost parallel role. The result also helps manufacturers and dealers in understanding consumer buying behaviour and assist in improvement on buyer gratification. It was recommended that sellers should take cognizance of the fact that socio-personal factors are the fundamental determinants of buyers' want and behavior and should therefore be considered when producing electrical products for semi-urban markets.Keywords

In a peer to peer system searching a file in each and every node it is very difficult. These days everybody using file sharing, and video streaming. So here while sharing or downloading a file there may be loss of data in the file. To avoid all these problems I proposed a concept providing file surveillance to actively search for files by using query performance in structured peer to peer overlay systems. using querying performance in structured overlay peer to peer systems if any node is leaving dynamically data should not loss.Keywords

This paper presents an Ontology development based on images. A set of question patterns, called predictive questions, which are predicted to be asked by users in a domain, were generated on the basis of a domain ontology. Their corresponding query templates, which can be used to extract answers to the predictive questions from a knowledge base, were generated as well. The process of producing these question patterns and query templates is described.
To retrieve images from a database using pattern matching techniques, but usually, textual descriptions attached to the images are used. Semantic web ontology and metadata languages provide a new way to annotating and retrieving images. This paper considers the situation when a user is faced with an image repository whose content is complicated and semantically unknown to some extent. We show how
ontologies can then be of help to the user in formulating the information need, the query, and the answers. As a proof of the concept, we have shown photos of restaurant. In this system, images are annotated according to ontologies When generating answers to the queries, the ontology combined with the image data also facilitates. In survey of the technical achievements in the research area of Image Retrieval, is especially Content-Based Image Retrieval.The survey covers image feature representation and extraction, multi-dimensional indexing, and system design.
