BIG DATA MANAGEMENT USING MAP REDUCE TECHNIQUE
Most data are unstructured, quasi-structured or semi-structured and homogeneous. The mix of data volume and speed they generate makes it difficult for Big Data to work on the current computing infrastructure. Traditional management, storage and research systems do not have the tools to analyze this data. Big data is precisely stored in the distributed file system architecture because of its precise nature. Apache's Hadoop and HDFS are widely used for storing and managing large data. Big data analysis has a large allocation of file systems, so it must be tolerated with errors. Map Reduce uses the Big Data DBMS Technique for efficient analysis, as well as techniques such as mergers and indexing, as well as other methods, such as graphical searching, for Big Data classification and clustering. Map Reduce is a method of mapping files by indexing files, such as sorting, categorisation, and shrinking. This paper seeks to analyze the state of the art and develop a brief overview of the Big Data clustering using Map Reduce Technique.

A COMBINATION OF LOCAL AND DIFFERENTIAL IMAGE INFORMATION BASED ON HYBRID ACTIVE CONTOUR METHOD FOR IMAGE SEGMENTATION
Image segmentation is the actual scheme of partitioning an image into several regions and it has a big importance in image processing and computer vision. Until now, there is a variety of segmentation methods, and among them active contour model is a popular one widely studied and used in many applications. The fundamental idea of active contour model is to construct some constraints to the object and realize the segmentation process by curve evolution. Depending on the type of information used active contour method scan roughly be categorized into three categories: edge based, region based and hybrid active contour models. This research we proposed a hybrid active contour method combining the local and differential gray intensity information for inhomogeneous image segmentation.

A REVIEW ARTICLE ON SANDHIVATA W.S.R. TO OSTEOARTHRITIS
Vata Vyadhi is a specific group of Vataja disorders, which can be produced only by the vitiation of Vata. Acharya Charaka has mentioned Nanatmaja Vyadhi of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, but a separate chapter has been contributed to only Vata Vyadhi. Acharya Vagbhatta has considered Vata Vyadhi as a “Maharoga”. This denotes that the Acharya has given importance to Vata as it dominates in the function and is supposed to be the leader of the remaining two Dosha. Acharya Sharangadhara states that Pitta and Kapha are action less (Pangu) unless and until they are activated by Vata. Due to this reason Vatika disorders are difficult to cure and some of them are serious in nature, while other take a chronic course and make the patient cripple thus burden to family and society.

CENTRAL TENDENCY OF ANNUAL EXTREMUM OF AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE AT SILCHAR
An analytical method has been developed for determining the true value of the central tendency of each of annual maximum and annual minimum of ambient air temperature at a location. Also, the value of central tendency of each of annual maximum and annual minimum of ambient air temperature at Silchar has been determined by applying the method developed here from the data since the year 1969 onwards. Determination of these two values is based on the assumption that change in temperature over years during the period for which data are available occurs due to change cause only but not due to any assignable cause. The values of these two have been found to be 370.00(in 0.1Degree Celsius) and 86.00(in0.1 Degree Celsius) respectively.

CONCEPT OF HUMAN BODY IN SIDDHA SIDDHANTA PADDHATI AND HATHA-RATNAVALI
Human body is the precious gift of God. In Shri Ramcharitmanas, Goswami Tulsidas says, ‘we get the human body with great fortune and it is rare even for the Gods’. Because, it is such a means through which salvation can be achieved. In Kumarsambhava, Mahakavi Kalidas also mentioned that, the body is the first and best means of religion and the body is the medium to know the religion. In hatha-yogic text Gheranda Samhita, it is stated that Human body is like a pitcher or mud pot externally but internally it has many actions, energies. The body has been created with the different awakened energies inside the body. It is essential to learn about the subtle as well as gross elements that are responsible for building the body. Gorakshanatha’s Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati and Srinivasa’s Hatha-Ratnavali are important hatha-yogic texts which discusses the concept of human body. Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati and Hatha-Ratnavali discusses that human body is made up of five elements- earth, water, fire, air and ether. Along with this Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati declares that human body is originated with the synthesis of the cosmic energies, therefore body is the part of universal soul. Only through the body one can reach the real goal of life i.e. liberation. The fascinating topic of the analogy of the human body with the cosmos overlaps a number of cultures. But, the discussion on this topic in relation with the liberation is unique in hatha-yogic texts. The present study discusses the unique concept of human body mentioned in hatha-yogic texts Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati and Hatha-Ratnavali and its importance in achieving the liberation. The cosmic body (macrocosm) is evolved through the synthesis of twenty-five energies. The Shiva (macrocosm) is the creative outcome of these energies. According to Hatha-Ratnavali, the Universe has been evolved from the three qualities- Sattva, Rajasa, Tamasa. Human body (microcosm) is evolved with the cosmic energies of the universe. Therefore human body, which is evolved with the synthesis of different energies, has capability to awaken the energies with the help of various hatha-yogic practices and directs it towards the liberation.
