Aim of the present article is to show the results obtained from the application of neuro-fuzzy methodology in the solution of agriculture problems like the Bactrocera Oleae (olive fly) infestation in the Liguria region olive grows. The research is focused to create an informatic decisional instrument to support experts in the applications of Integrated Pest Management strategies against the Bac...

The amount of ground olive stone available in Spain surpasses the needs construction industry for lightweight aggregate. objective herein is to generate a material, mortar, with different percentages stone, and then evaluate mechanical performance viability these materials manufacture elements used sector. To this end, an experiment was designed nine dosages three types cement. In all, 378 test...

This paper investigates a method for the determination of the maximum sampling error and confidence intervals of thermal properties obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TG analysis) for several lignocellulosic materials (ground olive stone, almond shell, pine pellets and oak pellets), completing previous work of the same authors. A comparison has been made between results of TG analysis an...

After synthesizing Ag nanoparticles and loading onto activated carbon (from olive stone), the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) onto the prepared nanoparticles was studied. In this connection, the effect of experimental parameters such as pH range, reagent concentration, contact time, dosage amount of adsorbent and so on, on the adsorption process were studied. The experimental results were anal...
