The quantification of water flow through the stem is vital for date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) to promote a good stress management. thermal dissipation probe (TDP) method developed by Granier widely used evaluate transpiration forest trees; however, there are contradictory reports regarding its reliability. Considerable errors in estimated sap flux density, which might be due lack ofspecies-...

Aquaculture activity has increased the population of crab, hence increasing the generation of related wastes, particularly the shell. In addition, the number of molting process in crabs compounds further the amount of waste shell generated. As such, in the present work, the application of the waste crab shell as a source of CaO in transesterification of palm olein to biodiesel (methyl ester) wa...
