Forty five plumbago rosea accessions collected from different parts of Kerala state were evaluated for variability in morphological and yield related characters and plumbagin content. Highly significant variation was evident for all the characters studied except leaf size indicating wide variability in the accessions. Accessions PR 25 and PR 31 appear to be promising with respect to root yield ...

The differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases is a difficult problem in dermatology. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifies the given samples when trained and nearly 98 % classification accuracy is achieved. Generalized Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) can solve the multivariable classification problem of determination of skin disease. ANN approach is studied to determine the...
