Abstract Background: At present study, acid modified banana leaf ash was used as an adsorbent for the successful removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye from aqueous environments. Materials and methods: The effect of various operating parameters such as pH of solution, dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and the temperature was investigated. Results: Maximum adsorption capacity of ...

Recent studies have provided evidence that trade-offs in biomass allocation, resource-use efficiency, and anti-herbivore defense influence seedling performance and distribution across soil types. Our previous research suggested that soil nutrient availability acted as a filter for understory palm community assembly and species coexistence in a lower montane forest in western Panama. Here, we ex...

palm date leaves were processed with lime in a processing reactor in a factorial arrangement of treatments (3 × 3) with 3 levels of temperatures (40, 80 and 100°c) and time periods (80, 160, and 240 minutes) in a completely randomized design. fermentation parameters measured using gas production technique. with increasing pretreatment time and temperature lignin content reduced from 13.0 percen...

The paper highlights the importance of ancient literature for the development of Ayurveda with special reference to their availability in regional languages. An attempt has been made here to examine briefly characteristics of about 600 palm leaf manuscripts available in Orissa State Museum, Bhubaneshwar. The relevance of the available material with reference to their potentiality for utilizatio...

This paper presents a simple approach to the handwritten Balinese script characters recognition in palm-leaf lontar manuscripts. The Lontar manuscript is one of cultural heritages found Bali. manuscripts are written using pengrupak, which kind knife for writing on palm leaves. To give color results writing, candlenut used so that appears clear. In this paper, we apply projection profile at segm...

(Growth and reproduction of the understory palm Geonoma schottiana Mart. in the gallery forest in Central Brazil). To understand the growth and reproduction of the palm Geonoma schottiana in the gallery forest of Central Brazil, two hypotheses were raised: (i) production of leaves and reproductive structures are concentrated in the period of the year with high light availability; (ii) leaf prod...

To assess the effect of non chemical management of weed control on forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) a field study was conducted in Varamin, Iran during 2010 crop year in a three- replicated- split factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with four weeding levels (W1= one time cultivation at 3-leaf stage using a duck foot cultivator, W2<...
