Data Mining, also known as knowledge discovery in databases, has been recognized as a promising new area for database research. Mining frequent item sets in transactional databases, binary transaction tables, time series databases and many other kinds of databases have been an active research topic over the past few years. Frequent access pattern is a special case of sequential pattern in an application database which helps to make effective decisions in the respective problem domain.
Given a large database of book transactions in the library, where each transaction consists of book-id, name of the book, author, and other related fields, the problem is to mine the frequent access patterns of the user from the library databases. The outcome of the findings will help the management to take effective steps that will cater the needs of the user.
Apriori and FP-growth algorithms can mine the complete sets of frequent item sets. These two algorithms were implemented and the performance of the algorithms was studied. The result shows that FP-growth algorithm performs well compared to Apriori.

Information technology has been used in various forms in today’s education. A course Management system takes an important role in the enterprise of teaching and learning systems. In this aspect a various e-Learning Tools have been developed for student community in order to give better quality of education. This paper describes the assessment of some e-Learning Tools using FBAA (Feature Based Assessment Algorithm). This algorithm makes the users to evaluate the e-Learning tools to choose a better Course Management System.Keywords

The challenges directed towards the food industry will be to fulfil the needs of the changing world markets and to meet new consumer product needs. Nowadays many pasta products flood the market. All the pasta and Asian noodles are generally wheat based products. The functional properties of wheat protein fractions are well defined for bread making and pasta cooking quality.- Assess the Level of Coping, Family Support and Quality of Life of Women who had Undergone Hysterectomy in selected Hospitals, at Madurai

This study is indented to assess the level of coping, family support and quality of life by using the standardized Likert's scale on coping, family support and WHO scale on quality of life to assess the women health based on all dimensions. The study was based on the Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model (1996).
A quantitative approach was used and survey approach was selected for this study. Research design for the study, that is non- experimental descriptive design. Pretesting of the tools was done to test the simplicity of the tools. It was found to be simple and applicable. Pilot study was carried out to find out the feasibility. Findings of the study: Majority of women who had undergone hysterectomy (98%) had moderate level of coping. 66 percentage of the women who had undergone hysterectomy had high level of family support, 34% had moderate level of family support. There was a significant association between QOL and demographic variables such as age, education, occupation, family monthly income and residence of women who had undergone hysterectomy. There was a significant association between QOL and selected variables such as number of children, sex of living children, indication for surgery and surgery approach of women who had undergone hysterectomy.

Ms. X is a MSc(N) student with 23 years of age, facing difficulties due to dysmenorrhea and has the complaint of amenorrhea since 4 months. She states that her menstrual cycle has been irregular. Her symptoms make her difficult to concentrate at work. She feels tired most of the day, due to lack of sleep and also she expressed that she is not able to reproduce in her future. She needs effective treatment but she is confused about the right therapy for her symptoms. She is also anxious about her irregular menstruation and the effect of complementary therapy (yoga therapy). Her friends suggested that complementary therapy could be useful.
She has put on 6 Kg weight (92 to 98kgs) within 4 months. She was experiencing of pain in lower abdomen, low back pain and intolerant pain in both the thighs and knees. Pain character was twisting and sharp over two days during menstruation, she has attended 2 weeks yoga class, there after she started practicing yoga since six months with the duration of 15 - 30 mts twice in a day, such as Baddhakonasana (Butterfly Pose), Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall Pose and on lying pose), Bhujangasana, Pranayma, Dhanurasana, Paschimottanasana, Vajrasana and yoga nidtra.
After practicing yoga for 6 months, she had better results in her menstrual cycle, followed by continuous menstruation for 3/28 days regularly with in minimal difficulties. Now the pain location is only on the lower abdomen and character of pain is twisting. She experiences pain only on the first day of menstruation and absence pain on 2nd day onwards. She felt that yoga is very effective and useful for her in all the aspects such as reduction of weight from 98 to 95 kgs along with hip, thighs and abdominal circumference and also reduced stress. If the women practice regularly one or two above said yoga from the adolescent period onwards, definitely they will feel comfortable during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum period and menopausal period. In olden days women use to do all kind of house hold activities, now a days which are replaced by technology.

Menopause is a part of every woman's life, they spend a significant part of their lives. It is the stage when menstrual period permanently stops, which usually occur between the age of 40 to 60 associated with hormonal, physical and psychological changes. These changes can occur gradually or abruptly. It can start as early as the age of 30 and last until as late as the age of 60, due to when the ovaries stop functioning or removed. Menopause is not an illness but a natural biological process, though the risk foruro- genital and heart disease and osteoporosis rises after menopause,that may impair personal or social interactions and diminish the overall quality of life.- Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance Studies in F2 Population of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

An investigation was carried out in F<sub>2</sub> population of eight crosses with 160 single plants to estimate the variability, heritability, genetic advance and genetic advance as percentage. The results showed that PCV values in general was higher than GCV for various characters studied. The high PCV and GCV values was obtained for single plant yield followed by number of productive tillers per plant and low PCV and GCV was observed for plant height and panicle length. The small difference observed between GCV and PCV indicate the presence of high genetic variability for the traits which may facilitate selection. The traits thousand grain weight and number of fertile spikelet per panicle and single plant yield had high heritability along with high genetic advance as per cent of mean indicate that these characters attributable to additive gene effects which are fixable revealing that improvement in these characters would be possible through direct selection.Keywords

A study to assess the effectiveness of yoga therapy on menopausal symptoms. To find out the pre and posttest level of menopausal symptoms among the postmenopausal women in the experimental and the control group. To evaluate the effect of yoga therapy on menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal women. The conceptual framework for the study was derived from general system theory. It was developed by Von Ludwig Bertanlaffy (1972), credited with originating the idea of general system. Methodology -The research design selected for the study was experimental pre and posttest design control group. The posttest II mean score was significantly lesser in the experimental group than the posttest II mean score of the control group. Findings - T here was a significant reduction in posttest II than the posttest I score in the experimental group than the control group. Therefore, there was a significant reduction on menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal women in the experimental group, it is inferred that the intervention was effective in reducing the menopausal symptoms. There is a significant association between the menopausal symptoms and the demographic variables namely, educational status (X2value= 9.12 at p ’value 0.26).There is a significant association between the pretest level of menopausal symptoms and the demographic variable namely, when the menstrual cycle first became irregular (x2-value= 14.20 at p ’ value 0.002), sterilization (x2-value=4.43 at p ’ value 0.035). Recommendations -The researcher suggested that regular practice of yoga therapy were effective in minimizing the menopausal symptoms. A comparative study can be conducted between rural and urban women.Keywords
