To find out combinations of the most effective cytomorphologic features to diagnose a case of breast lesion. To measure accuracy of combination of criteria used to diagnose a specific breast lesion. To determine the utility of FNAC and its continuing role in diagnosing breast lesions. Retrospective analysis of 460 patients with breast lesion referred to the Department of Pathology, Mahavir Cancer Institute and Research Centre, Patna, for FNAC and later on confirmed by HPE were included in the study, irrespective of age. Lumpectomy provided the diagnosis in 107 cases. In the present study we found that the combination of criteria assessed, enabled the segregation of breast lesions into different categories with high significance values, which will be more effective in diagnosis of disease. Combined criteria provide better results and a practical way of expressing our opinion as more objective and precise diagnosis which is good from clinician’s point of view too.

This paper is about designing a 15 tap 8-bit FIR filter using Direct form II. Serial Architecture is used for Multiplication and Accumulation. Entire Design is created in structural manner using verilog models from fsa0m a library. Delay balancing technique is used for reducing glitches in Multiplier.

Rapid growth of technology and prevalent use of computers in the business and other areas, more and more organizations are converting their handwritten paper documents into electronic documents that can be processed by computers. Handwriting recognition has attracted voluminous research in recent times. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) deals with machine recognition of characters present in an input image obtained using scanning operation. It refers to the process by which scanned images are electronically processed and converted to an editable text. Almost all the existing handwritten character recognition techniques use neural network approach, which requires lot of pre-processing and hence accomplishing these problems using neural network is a tedious task. In this paper we propose a novel solution for performing character recognition in TAMIL, the official language of the south Indian province of TamilNadu. Pursued by the pre-processing techniques, Segmentation and Feature Extraction are done for recognizing handwritten Tamil characters, which improves the efficiency. The tolerance of the system is evident as it can overwhelm the complexities arise out of font variations and proves to be flexible and robust. These initial results are promising and warrant further research in this direction.

The study was conducted during January 2012 to December 2012. The butterflies were collected from different altitudes of Yelagiri hills. Seventy three species of butterflies from fourty six genera in five families were documented. Observations were made on the basis of different seasonal occurrence. We have also documented the rare butterflies in the study area which acknowledges the value of this region for conservation.
