Abstract: In this paper, we study various factors leading to breast cancer and also a few symptoms that act as biomarkers for the occurrence of breast cancer in women. Totally 18 factors are taken for study. Statistical techniques are used to analyze the influence of various factors towards the disease and test for significance of factors is also done. Besides association rule mining is attempted to generate possible factors that may lead to breast cancer. An attempt to classify the given dataset using information gain techniques and CHAID techniques was done.

| Title | : | A preliminary study on the effects of ozone on induction of resistance in Cicer arietinum and Trigonella foenum against acute ozone exposure |

Abstract: The potential for ozone to damage vegetation has been known for over 30 years, but it is only over the last decade that its impacts have become of concern in India and other countries. It is now clearly established that ozone, at the ambient concentrations can cause a range of effects including visible leaf injury, growth and yield reductions, and altered sensitivity to biotic and abiotic stresses. Research in recent years has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying ozone effects on agricultural crops, and to a lesser extent on trees and native plant species.

| Title | : | Effects of Oral Administration of Selected Food Seasonings Consumed in Nigeria on Some Sex Hormones of Wistar Albino Rats |
| Country | : | India |

Abstract: Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 4 selected food seasonings (labeled IS, KC, SMC and BS) commonly consumed in Nigeria on some sex hormones- Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone of wistar albino rats. Method: A total of 117 male and female rats with average weight of 120g were used. Animals were grouped into 5 groups, with 9 rats in each group. Group 1 represents the control, while group 2-5 represents the treatment group. Oral administration of 1mg/g, 2mg/g and 4mg/g body weight of each seasoning were administered to rats in the treatment group. Those in the control group received growers mash and water. From each group, 3 rats were sacrificed weekly for 3 weeks to determine the serum concentrations of these sex hormones.
