The brain tumor tissue detection allows localizinga mass of abnormal cells in a slice of Magnetic Resonance (MR). The automatization of this process is useful for post processing of the extracted region of interest like the tumor segmentation. In order to detect this abnormal growth of tissue in an image, this paper presents a novel scheme which uses a two-step procedure; the k-means method and the Hierarchical Centroid Shape Descriptor (HCSD).

Concrete is one of the most important materials in construction. Concrete is weak in tension, so it affects ductility and also cracking. Based on the continuous research work is carried out around the world, various changes have been made from day to day time to overcome the deficiencies of cement concrete structures.

A thorough knowledge of root canal anatomy is essential for the endodontic therapy. Aberrations in the root canal system, especially in multirooted teeth, can pose a considerable challenge to the endodontist during root canal treatment. The endodontist should be familiar with various root canal con Figurations and their variations for successful endodontic therapy. It is important to evaluate each individual case for variations. There are variations in number of root canals with altered con Figuration rarely existent in maxillary and mandibular molars can affect treatment outcome.

Fish and fishery products are of great importance for human nutrition worldwide and provide clear health benefits. Fish can act as a source of food borne pathogens and may be a potential source of infection. A study was undertaken to find out the incidence and characterization of E.coli in fishes, determine biofilm production and antibiotic resistance of isolates. A total of 100.0 raw mackerel fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) was collected from different markets in and around Puducherry. Fifty two (52.0%) isolates of E.coli were recovered from 100.0 samples.

The study investigated pregnant women’s perceptions, beliefs and practices on the use of   Sulphadoxine Pyrimethamine (SP) for primary prevention of malaria in pregnancy.
