Natural chicoco is highly undesirable, barely able to support a human of average weight but air-dried chicoco has been used successfully by the indigeneous people for shore protection, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,578 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Cellulase from Oil Palm Biomass as Substrate by Solid State BioconversionMd. Z. Alam, Nurdina Muhammad, Mohd E. MahmatSolid state bioconversion (SSB) of lignocellulosic material oil palm biomass (OPB) generated from palm oil industries as waste was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production through filamentous fungus in lab-scale experiment. OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was used as the solid substrate and treated with the fungus Trichoderma harzianum to produce cellulase. The results presented in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIrrigation System Using Hyperspectral Data and Machnie Learning Techniques for Smart AgricultureSanthi Balachandran, Sourna Lakshmi, Nithya RajendranWater is the main resource for agriculture. Management of water in agricultural field is a challenging process. To manage the water content in the agricultural field, smart irrigation system has been proposed by using fuzzy based decision support system on Hyperspectral Image benchmark dataset. Hyperspectral images are the process of collected and processed the images from electromagnetic spectrum. Recent studies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 15 Apr 2020 · 7,683 accessesView PDF Cite
