Optical character recognition refers to the process of translating segmented hand-written images or typewritten images into machine editable text. In this study, we propose a Tamil palm leaf manuscripts character recognition system using FFBNN technology. First the palm leaf manuscripts characters are segmented by exploiting the sliding window and adaptive histogram calculation. Afterwards, the...

Palm leaves were one of the earliest forms of writing media and their use as writing material in South and Southeast Asia has been recorded from as early as the fifth century B.C. until as recently as the late 19th century. Palm leaf manuscripts relating to art and architecture, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, and medicine dating back several hundreds of years are still available for referen...

Natural distribution patterns of boron (B) among leaves within a canopy, among leaflets within a leaf, and within single leaflets were determined for coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) and within leaves for paurotis palm [Acoelorrhaphe wrightii (Griseb. & H. Wendl.) Becc.]. Leaf B concentrations did not vary significantly among leaves within the canopy or among leaflets within a single leaf for c...

In order to quantify the effects of forests to oil palm conversion occurring in the tropics on land–atmosphere carbon, water and energy fluxes, we develop a new perennial crop sub-model CLM-Palm for simulating a palm plant functional type (PFT) within the framework of the Community Land Model (CLM4.5). CLM-Palm is tested here on oil palm only but is meant of generic interest for other palm crop...

Received Jan 1, 2018 Revised Mar 15, 2018 Accepted Mar 29, 2018 Disease in palm oil sector is one of the major concerns because it affects the production and economy losses to Malaysia. Diseases appear as spots on the leaf and if not treated on time, cause the growth of the palm oil tree. This work presents the use of digital image processing technique for classification oil palm leaf disease s...

the effect of feeding silage of leaf and stem of banana tree with waste date palm on feed intake, microbial protein synthesis and blood parameters using four adult rams in a change- over design with four 21-days period were examined. eighty five kg leaf and stem of banana tree with 15 kg of waste date palm were mixed together and ensiled for 45 days. chemical composition and sensory evaluation ...

Butia purpurascens is an endemic and threatened palm tree species that occurs in open areas of the Brazilian Cerrado, predominantly in southwestern Goiás. The leaves of this palm tree are harvested by local people to fabricate brooms. This study evaluated changes in vegetative and reproductive phenology in two different natural populations of this palm tree: one population with leaf harvesting ...

abstract date palm, phoenix dactylifera, is one of the most important horticultural crops in iran. the most soils in iran, especially those cultivated with palm, are calcareous with high ph. the high ph of soil causes reduction of nutrient elements absorption. findings of researches show that application of elemental sulfur along with tiobacillus bacteria in soil, due to sulfur oxidation, reduc...

Application of agriculture residue especially in biochar form seems to be effective in the removal of contaminants such as nitrate pollution. The effectiveness of biochar produced from palm leaf residues (pyrolyzed at 600 ˚C) in the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution was studied at different pH. The pH value at the point of zero charges (pHpzc) and surface functional groups...
