Phoenix-3 based on a commercially available FFT spectrometer board AC-240, connected to a broadband receiver was qualified to be used as a solar polarization spectrometer. A pile of very time consuming measurements showed, that the system fulfills the given requirements to observe solar radiation between 1GHz and 5GHz in two polarizations. The total of 65536 channels produces 65 times more data...

Background: The pit of Phoenix dactylifera contains different compounds such as saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, Zinc, Cadmium, Calcium and Potassium which could improve steroidogenesis. In this research, effect of phoenix dactylifera pit powder was evaluated on female rat reproduction. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 50 female wistar rats were divided in 5 groups of 10...

The genus Phoenix (Arecaceae) comprises 14 species distributed from Cape Verde Islands to SE Asia. It includes the economically important species Phoenix dactylifera. The paucity of differential morphological and anatomical useful characters, and interspecific hybridization, make identification of Phoenix species difficult. In this context, the development of reliable DNA markers for species an...

Biochar, a carbon rich organic amendment, derived from biomass by pyrolysis under high-temperature and zero oxygen condition, is soil amendment to enrich with essential nutrients. Biochar multidimensional in its benefits, including increase sequestration, reduction green house emission, improved fertility, prolonged moisture retention capability overcome drought. can be produced wide array of b...

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was applied to identify palm varieties. Fluorescence labelled primers were used in selective amplifications and the amplified fragments were detected on capillary gel electrophoresis using an automated DNA sequencer with the analysis fragment option. This is a rapid and efficient technique for detecting a large number of DNA markers on...
