An experiment was carried on standardization of X-ray radiography methodology for the detection of pink bollworm infestation in cotton bolls during 2012-14 at Indian Institute of Crop Processing Technology, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. Studies revealed that the controllable input electrical parameters of the X-ray machine viz., voltage, current and exposure period required for the detection of internal infestation varied widely for cotton bolls compared to stored grains and fruits tested by other scientists. High voltage and current were required for dense cotton bolls to ensure adequate penetration of radiation. It was observed on visual analysis that the X-ray radiation generated at 80 kV and 10 mA for 30 seconds resulted in the best visual images to view internal content of cotton bolls and observed to be the best for cotton bolls imagery out of 96 combinations tested for best detection of hidden infestation. While other combinations, for example, 60Kv, 4mA for 10 seconds and 90 Kv, 10mA for 30 seconds manifested into lighter and darker images, respectively.Keywords

The major problem confronting preschool children in developing countries like India is a 'food - gap' rather than a 'protein gap'. This food gap can be filled through a judicious mixture of indigenous foods in quantities which could satisfy the calorie needs of children. It is encouraging to note that the Government of Kerala in collaboration with CARE has taken a right step towards self-sufficiency, through the production of Kerala Indigenous Food (KIP) based on tapioca.- Feature Match:A General ANNF Estimation Technique and Its Applications

This paper proposes a summed up Approximate Nearest Neighbor Field(ANNF) calculation structure between a source and the objective picture. The calculation can appraise ANNF maps between any sets of pictures. The speculation is accomplished through the fitting spatial extent changes. The pair of pictures is approximated utilizing low-dimensional components. This ANNF guide can be further enhanced in view of the picture coherency and spatial changes. The ANNF outline work represents two applications, for example, i) Optic plate location and ii) Super determination. Optic circle recognition manages the restorative imaging where that finds the optic plates in retinal picture utilizing a sound optic circle picture as regular target picture and the second application manages super determination of engineered pictures utilizing a typical source picture as word reference.
