Quercetin is a phenolic compound that exhibits strong antioxidant activity and they are widely found in onion (Allium cepa). The concentration of quercetin in the onion of different species or different date of purchase varies within the range of 185-634mg/ kg of fresh onion. The naturally occurring quercetins in the onion are appeared in glucose conjugate forms such as quercetin-4?-O-?-glycopyranoside, quercetin-3,4?-O-?-diglycopyranoside, and quercetin -3,7,4?-O-?-triglycopyranoside. The attachment of glucose on the molecule of quercetin has brought to two adverse effects: i) Decrease of the antioxidant activity. ii) Limit the human intestinal absorption upon oral consumption. Previous studies have suggested several methods to remove the glucose from the molecule of quercetin including the strong acid hydrolysis, organic acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and lactic acid fermentation.

The present study deals with the performance and comparison between two architecture in neural networks namely perceptron neural networks and feed forward neural networks. This networks help to identify the particular species of olive ridley sea turtle. The existing algorithm in training the images faces many difficulties such as time delay in training the images and also improper learning rate in the ANN. To overcome this problems the new algorithm is developed were training is made with both perceptron and feed forward neural networks. Initially 8 images were trained and these images consisting of four main features which includes length, breadth, color and shape. These trained images are processed for performance analysis to make effective identification of olive ridley sea turtle.

The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of plyometric training on selected power related fitness variables. To achieve this purpose of the study, thirty men students studying in the department of physical education and sports sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects at random. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each such as plyometric training group and control group. The experimental group underwent plyometric training for three days per week for twelve weeks. The control group did not participate any special training programmes. Power variables such as explosive power in terms of vertical, explosive power in terms of horizontal, elastic power and anaerobic power have been selected as criterion variables. All the subjects of both groups were tested on selected criterion variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data of the plyometric training group and the control group between the pre-test and post-test scores. The level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence which was considered to be an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between plyometric training group and control group on selected criterion variables such as explosive power in terms of vertical, explosive power in terms of horizontal, elastic power and anaerobic power.
