Some of the major challenges twenty-first century include continued increase in energy consumption and environmental pollution. One approach to overcoming these is use waste materials environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. The high building sector contributes significantly global climatic changes. Here, by using date palm surface fibers, a high-performance green insulation material was...

developing a rapid, nondestructive and reliable method to measure moisture content of date fruit is of interest in pre- and post-harvest processes of this valuable product. throughout this research, by putting date palm fruits (cv. mazafati) in a parallel plate capacitor, the sinusoidal alternative voltage in the frequency range of 1 to 100 mhz was exerted to the dates and the response of the c...

Phyllotaxis is the study of the morphological order of plants. Remarkably, in spite of the overwhelming diversity of plant morphology, there are common patterns that link a wide variety of species. The date palm, having a phyllotactic order, possesses a simple, repetitive model. Only a small number of parameters are needed to represent the phyllotactic order of the date palm. This a priori know...
