    The present study investigated the effect of 100, 50 , and 25 % light intensities on seed germination and early seedling development of Cassia fistula, Enterolobium saman and Delonix regia. The experiment was carried out under temperature of 25°C - 15°C day and night and 65 % relative humidity, in the greenhouse. One hundred percent light intensity significantly produced the highest seed germination and seedling growth of the three species for all growth characteristics measured. Fifty percent light intensity treatment produced seed germination and seedling growth to come in the second order and, sometimes, shared full light intensity treatment. The growth characteristics of Delonix regia seedlings had almost the highest values among species and in full light intensity treatment. Although Cassia fistula seedlings had lower growth, in comparison with the other two species, however, they tolerated low light intensity and had the highest survival and root growth.Corresponding Author: Prof. Ibrahim Mohammed Aref Plant Production Department, College of Agriculture, King Saud University, P.O.

    Seeds of Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd., A. salicina Lindley, A. nilotica (L.) Willd. ex Del., A. ehrenbergiana Hayne, A. seyal Del., A. saligna (Labill.) H. L. Wendl. and A. tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne were subjected to pre-germination treatment. This was either by soaking seeds in water for 24 or 48 or 72 hours or by placing them in boiling water and left them to cool to the room temperature. All seeds were sowed either at 2 or 4 or 6-cm at soil. The higher germination percentage for all Acacia species was obtained after boiling seeds in water and at 2-cm sowing depth apart from A. ehrenbergiana. It showed no response to boiling in water but had the best result with soaking in water for 24h. The results of this study suggest that boiling seeds of the investigated Acacia species in water is recommended with sowing depth not deeper than 4 cm.Corresponding Author: Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed Aref Department of Plant Production, College of Agriculture, King Saud University, P.

    Growth of Leucaena leucocephala and Albizia lebbeck trees was investigated under low water supply in the field using a complete randomized block design at the Research and Experiments Station of the College of Food Science and Agriculture, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The trees were irrigated at either 160 (well water supply) or 500 mm (low water supply) of a class "A" evaporation-pan records for two years. Differences were occurred between L. leucocephala and A. lebbeck trees across irrigation treatments with greater values for L. leucocephala in most of the growth characteristics measured. Comparing with L. leucocephala, leaves of A. lebbeck comprises only small proportion of the total weight of tree while allocated equal proportions to their branches and roots (41%).while L. leucocephala trees allocated almost similar proportions to their branches, stem and roots (27-28%). Low water supply decreased stem by 19.5% with stem diameter was unaffected. Leaf, branches, stem, root and consequently total dry weight of the trees decreases by 42, 51.5, 45, 51 and 94% in low water supply. However, the performance of L. leucocephala and A. lebbeck trees endured low irrigation conditions in terms of survival and maintaining reasonable growth.Corresponding Author: Prof. Ibrahim Mohammed Aref Plant Production Department, College of Food Science and Agriculture, King Saud University, P.O.

Konya'da öğretmenlik yapan İbrahim Aczî Kendî, Arapça ve Farsça öğrenerek kendini geliştirmiş, tasavvuf, edebiyat ve tarihle ilgili kitaplar hazırlamıştır. İbrahim Aczî Kendî'nin bizzat kendisinin kaleme aldığı, tek nüshası Yusuf Ağa Kütüphanesinde 10465/1 numara ile kayıtlı olan Devr-i Zaman adlı eseri, 360 Farsça rubâî ve bu rubâîlerin Osmanlı Türkçesiyle yazılmış açıklamalarından oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada İbrahim Aczî Kendî'nin hayatı incelenmiş, Devr-i Zaman adlı eserinde bulunan 360 rubâînin son 180 tanesi çalışılmıştır. Her bir rubâînin Farsça ana metinleri bilgisayar ortamına aktarılmış, bazen sadece tercüme, bazen de çeşitli açıklamalar içeren Osmanlı Türkçesiyle yazılan kısımlar ise latin harfleriyle aktarılmıştır. İbrahim Aczî Kendî, bu çalışmada ele alınan rubâîlerinde, genellikle ilahi aşk, toplumsal ahlâk, zamandan şikâyet, riya ve kibirden uzak durmanın gerekliliği gibi birçok konuya değinmiştir.İbrahim Aczî Kendî who lived the years between 1881 and 1965 in Konya is an important poet, a journalist, an investigate author, a mystic and a folklorist who raised by Konya in 20th century.

    External interventions and the duration of civil wars

    No full text
    The authors combine an empirical model of external intervention, with a theoretical model of civil war duration. Their empirical model of intervention allows them to analyze civil war duration, using"expected"rather than"actual"external intervention as an explanatory variable in the duration model. Unlike previous studies, they find that external intervention is positively associated with the duration of civil war. They distinguish partial third-party interventions that extend the length of war, from multilateral"peace"operations, which have a mandate to restore peace without taking sides - and which typically take place at war's end, or at least when both sides have agreed to a cease-fire. In a future paper, the authors will examine whether partial third-party interventions - whatever their effect on a war's duration - increase the risk of war's recurrence. If that proves true, then even if interventions reduce the length of civil war, they may do so at the cost of further destabilizing the political system, and sowing the seeds of future rebellion.Children and Youth,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Social Conflict and Violence,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs

    Effects of Initial Thinning on the Growth and Biomass Characteristics of Zizyphus spina-christi Trees

    No full text
    Seedlings of Zizyphus spina-christi trees grown from seeds were planted intensively in the field at the Experiments and Research Station of College of Agriculture, King Saud University near Riyadh City. After a year, the trees were subjected to thinning through three consecutive years and evaluated for growth and biomass production. Starting from the second year of thinning, the thinned trees increased stem diameter and all above-ground biomass components. Branches and foliage biomass ratio also increased due to thinning at the expense of stem biomass ratio. Unthinned trees were superior in biomass production after three years of the treatment application.Corresponding Author: Prof. Ibrahim Mohammed Aref Forest Sciences and Environment, College of Food Science and Agiculture, King Saud University PO.

    This research is a morphological, grammatical and analytical study on the multiplicity of the scale of five derived nouns and their formulas as used in the six anthologies (dawawin) of Senegalese Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi, based on the chosen rulings, methods and context used by the author of the six collections. The research focuses and discusses on the subject noun, the accusative noun, the hyperbolic participles, the attributive participle, comparative/superlative adjective, and their scales and formulas, both standard and nonstandard, and the usage of their multiple meanings according to the methods employed in these six dawawin, including infinitive and augmented noun of three or four lettered origin, with grammatical rulings associated with alif and lam (al), as selected or chosen according to the usage of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi. In order to find out the context of morphological and grammatical methods, analyses were made that acquaint readers with the taste of Sheikh Ibrahim's ability in applying morphological and grammatical rules. Through extrapolation, the morphological and syntactic source of each derivative was separately traced in those six dawawin. In reviewing the morphological and syntactic language of those derivatives, books and the theories of ancient and modern linguists, according to consensus and contrast, were used in shedding light on each derived noun by studying the ancient morphological and syntactic sources according to the information and theories derived therefrom and made analysis thereon. In this regard, a morphological or grammatical context was established using a qualitative rather than quantitative approach based on which the research was conducted and its structure, sections and chapters arranged accordingly, with clarification and detailed analyses. Findings of this research have established the functioning of morphological structure and scales of the five derived nouns as well as the semantic meaning, application and usage of augmented derived nouns as dealt with in their grammatical rulings associated with the Arabic definite article - alif and lam (al), to enable them function in the past, present and future tenses, and what not. The research concluded with a revelation which is indicative of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas’ ability and mastery of morphological scales and grammatical expertise as though he lived with and learnt from Khalil, Sibawayh, Ibn Jinni and Asma'i and their ilk
