EVOLVING OPPORTUNITIES AND TRENDS IN THE PET INDUSTRY – AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON PET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
(Journal of Applied Science and Computations (JASC), 2018-11) Judith Priya R; Nandhini M
Indian people are increasingly attached to their pets with animals such as dogs, cats and birds often regarded as part of the family. People became more aware of the hardships some animal suffer, motivating many animal lovers to adopt stray cats or dogs as pets in India. The concept of owing pets and taking care of them is a very urban phenomenon in India. The growth of the market therefore is largely dependent on the pace of urbanization; the infrastructure changes of the past two decades signal a very positive and rapid movement here. The Indian consumers idea on spending money on buying pets, pets products and pets services is slowly giving way to the feeling of pet humanization and sensitization, trends well demonstrated by the rapid rise in adoption rates of pets. Many economic experts believe that the pet industry is one of the most stable industries around the world. Some pet-related products and various supplies, do not fare quite as well, but overall, the industry tends to hold up. This is thought to be partly because people see their animals as an extension of their families. There exist vast opportunities for sale of Pets, Pet Products and Services Industry to boost up in India in rear future. This study reveals the Evolving opportunities and trends in the Pet Products and Services Industry in Coimbatore District.
IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF LEAF DISEASES IN TURMERIC PLANTS
(International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications, 2016) Nandhini M; Pream Sudha V; Vijaya M S
Plant disease identification is the most important sector in agriculture. Turmeric is one of the important rhizomatous crops grown in India. The turmeric leaf is highly exposed to diseases like rhizome rot, leaf spot, and leaf blotch. The identification of plant diseases requires close monitoring and hence this paper adopts technologies to manage turmeric plant diseases caused by fungi to enable production of high quality crop yields. Various image processing and machine learning techniques are used to identify and classify the diseases in turmeric leaf. The dataset with 800 leaf images of different categories were pre-processed and segmented to promote efficient feature extraction. Machine learning algorithms like support vector machine, decision tree and naïve bayes were applied to train the model. The performance of the model was evaluated using 10 fold cross validation and the results are reported
PET OWNERS LEVEL OF AWARENESS AND CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE OWNING A PET– AN ANALYTICAL STUDY
(Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research, 2019-06) Judith Priya R; Nandhini M
India is experiencing a vast growth in its pet industry in the last few years. The knowledge about the pets and increasing awareness about pets and the various pet care products are the major force behind this growth. Majority of pet owners consider their pets as their family members. Pet owners spend extra care and money for pet health, food, veterinary services and on various accessories and they treat pet as their own children. Lifestyle change and change in pattern of consumption along with rise in the income of the households has triggered the growth of pet market in India. The additional factors driving pet market are growing pet humanization, urbanization among people and change in tastes and preferences of consumers. There exists a chance of rise in pet ownership in the rear future. This arises a common thought on the awareness of those pet buyers about the pet industry and various consideration before owning a pet. This study reveals the level of awareness of pet owners before owning a pet in Coimbatore District.
PLANT DERIVED EXOSOME- LIKE NANOVESICLES: AN UPDATED OVERVIEW
(Elsevier B.V, 2023-02) Subha D; Harshnii K; Madhikiruba K.G; Nandhini M; Tamilselvi K.S
Exosomes are nanovesicles in the size range of 30–150 nm, produced by mammalian and plant cells. They have the lipid bilayer enclosing a unique mix of biologically active components including proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites and lipids, that depend on their source of origin. The plant derived nanovesicles are gaining considerable research attention due to their ability to be absorbed from the dietary sources. Their bioactive components impart many therapeutic properties to them such as anti-tumorigenic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective effects and tissue regeneration. The possibilities of using plant derived exosomes for drug delivery is also promising. This review focusses on the biogenesis and biological nature of exosomes derived from plants and describes their various inherent therapeutic properties. It sheds light on the recently developed methods to study them. The existing challenges in the exosomal research as well as the future prospective are highlighted. Overall, it is an update on the advancements on the research in plant exosomes which can provide a replacement for toxic synthetic drugs and possibilities for disease therapy.
