The problem of conventional cement mortar cubes is the requirement to be used for their production. It recognized that production involves a significant release carbon dioxide atmosphere, which detrimental quality environment. To adopt sustainable development building materials, date palm tree has been by numerous researchers partially replace in cubes. study aims: 1. optimize engineering prope...

The present study was performed for the development of physico-chemical parameters of Carica papaya Linn. leaves belonging to family Caricaceae. The study comprises physico-chemical and phytochemical evaluation to confirm purity and authenticity of Carica papaya leaf based on WHO guidelines. Microscopy of the leaf showed presence of epidermis, collenchyma, and parenchyma, scellerenchyma, xylem,...

PURPOSE Standardization and detailed pharmacognostical studies of Oreganum vulgare Linn. leaf for authentication and commercial utilization. METHODS Oreganum vulgare Linn. leaf was with standardization according to standard procedures described in WHO, 2011 and I.P. 1996. RESULTS The physicochemical parameters total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash and sulphated ash were found to ...

We have analysed the mycobiota of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera, L.) leaves using several techniques. Profusely sporulating fungi (Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp.) developed when plating leaf fragments and leaf washings. Fusarium oxysporum, was particularly abundant in leaves infested with the red scale insect Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899, but an undescribed Lecanicillium cf....

This study presents the utilization of oil palm ash (OPA), a siliceous material from the fiber of oil palm biomass, as a nanofiller for the development of polymer nanocomposites. Polypropylene-based polymer nano-composites reinforced with OPA along with a compatibilizer were prepared by a melt-mixing technique, using a double screw extruder. Variations in the mechanical, morphological, and ther...

OBJECTIVE Postmenopausal estrogen deficiency often causes bone density loss and osteoporosis. This study evaluated the effects of an oral administration of oil palm leaf extract (OPL) on bone calcium content and structure, bone density, ash weights, and serum total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) of estrogen-deficient ovariectomized (OVX) rats. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided int...

Palm leaf character recognition is an area which is at the nascent stage of research. Although character recognition is a well-known application of pattern recognition, lot of work is still to be exploited in handwritten character recognition. The recognition accuracy as per the literature survey for handwritten English characters is very low and for Indian languages it is just started. Researc...

Abstract The utilization of oil palm empty bunch (OPEB) could be a powerful solution to manage such large volume wastes produced from the plantation. Ash created this waste used as soil ameliorant well additional agent for liquid fertilizer. Its form in nano size might increase leaf absorption. Therefore, study was aimed investigate effect OPEB ash nanoparticle on epidermal cell thickness and c...

The objectives of this study were to determine the physicochemical characteristics, sensory acceptability and microbial quality of fermented fresh water fish (Betok-Anabas testudineus Bloch) locally known as Wadi Betok, which was prepared by using 15% w/w salt and addition of palm (Arenga pinata) sugar (0, 5, 10 and 15% w/w) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) juice (0, 2, 4 and 6% w/w). An interact...
