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 |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | K.M.Srinandhinidevi || Mayuri Khopade || Pangsatabam K.D |
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 |
| Authors | : | Nwajei, Joy Chukwuekwu || Onuoha, Samuel chimezie || Essien, Eka Bassey |
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.

Abstract: In this review report we like to focus on the new challenges in methodology of modern biology be used in medical science. Today human health is a primary issue to cure disease, undoubtedly the answer to this is bioinformatics or (In-silco) tools has change the concept of treating patients to understand the need of genomic medicine in use. Those with new modes of action in clinical treatment, is a major health concern in medical science. On global prospective scientific role in constructing new ideas to remediate health care to treat disease exciting in nature is challenging task.

Abstract: Nephrolithiasis a multi-factorial disorder resulting from the combined influence of environmental, biochemical and genetic factors. Maximum stones were in mixed form, Calcium oxalate and phosphate stones are more common in men; peak age of incidence in our study was in the fourth decade of life. Nephrolithiasis was slightly prevalent in non-Veg dietary habits and with average daily water intake was low (1-1.2Lit) as compared to controls (1.5-2Lit) In this study we find that stones were slightly prevalent in Hindus (53.33%) over muslims (46.67%). We find that Nephrolithiasis cases were higher in urban area (60% cases) in all age groups.

| Title | : | Effect of estradiol -17 β on arachidonic acid metabolism in sheep uterus: in vitro studies |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | A Sai Padma || T Sandeep Prasad || D Rajani & S Vanitha |
Abstract: The effect of estradiol-17 β on Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in non-pregnant sheep uterus was studied under in vitro conditions. On incubation of uterine slices with estradiol-17β, the levels of prostaglandins were altered but not Lipoxygenase (LOX) products. Based on their analysis on conventional TLC technique, the Cyclooxygenase (COX) products PGF2α, 6-keto PGF1α and PGE2 were shown to be altered over an incubation period of 0 to 120 minutes. The LOX products, HPETEs and HETEs did not show any change upon incubation with estradiol-17β. This study gives a preliminary understanding of role of estradiol on AA metabolism. Keywords: Lipoxygenase, Cyclooxygenase, estradiol-17β, Prostaglandins, HPETEs and HETEs.

Abstract:The soy milk was prepared using the soaked soybean seeds then soy milk was treated with Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 for the preservation. By spread plate method and streak plate method two bacteria Escherichia spp and Streptococcus spp were isolated respectively .These bacteria were subjected to biochemical and microbiological analysis. In Biochemical analysis IMVIC test was performed. Both the bacteria Escherichia spp and Streptococcus spp are positive for Methyl red test and citrate utilization whereas both the bacteria are negative for Voges-Proskauer test and for Indole production test Escherichia spp is positive and Streptococcus spp is negative. In case of microbiological test Escherichia spp is gram negative and Streptococcus spp is gram positive. Both these bacteria have catalase production ability.

Abstract: This study was undertaken to determine the physicochemical properties and sensory attribute of oil extracted from melon seeds, (Egusi) citrullus lanatus,when used in frying foods. Standard analytical procedures were used to evaluate the oil extracted from the seeds for moisture content, specific gravity, saponification value, refractive index, peroxide value, acid number, iodine value and sensory assessment of the fresh oil was done using three different foods. The physicochemical properties repeated after storage for two weeks. The colour, moisture content, specific gravity, acid values, iodine value, peroxide value and saponification value were yellow, 2.0%, 1.059kg/dm3, 0.97 mgKOH/g, 108g/100g, 7.0 mmol O2/kg and 178.11 mgKOH/g for fresh melon seed oil and yellow, 1.2%, 1.0598 kg/dm3, 0.67mgKOH/g, 110 g/100g, 7.90mmol O2/kg and 178.10 mgKOH/g for stored melon seed oil respectively.

| Title | : | Extraction and Isolation of Lycopene Form Various Natural Sources |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Simran Lilwani || Vrinda Nair |
Abstract: Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes, water melon and other fruits mostly red coloured. The antioxidant properties of lycopene have attracted attentions due to its biological properties and are thought to be primarily responsible for its benefits in health related problems. Extraction and isolation of lycopene can be done with various methods. Several studies have been undertaken for the extraction of lycopene and for its quantification in various natural sources.
Keywords: Lycopene, extraction, hexane, acetone, benzene, ethanol.

| Title | : | Study on Plant Breeding Methods to Enhance the Crop Yield |
| Country | : | |
| Authors | : | Dr. P B Tiwary |
Abstract: Genetic principles are used to grow plants that are healthier for people. This is done by choosing plants that are aesthetically pleasing, economically beneficial, or both, managing the mating behaviour of those individuals, and then choosing particular offspring from the ensuing offspring. Such approaches have the potential to drastically alter the hereditary content and value of a plant population when applied over several generations. The biological aspects of plant breeding are covered in the page on heredity; this one concentrates on using genetic principles to improve plants. In this paper ,author shed the light on plant breeding methods and their different characteristics with the increasement in the crop yield.
Keywords: Plant breeding methods, offsprings, genetic principles ,hereditary compositions etc
