The effects of light intensity on seed germination and seedling growth of cassia fistula (linn.), enterolobium saman (jacq.) Prain ex king. And delonix
No full textThe 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:

Effects of pre-germination treatments and sowing depths upon germination potential of some Acacia species
No full textSeeds 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:

Performance of Leucaena leucocephala and Albizia lebbeck trees under low irrigation water in the field
No full textGrowth 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:

External interventions and the duration of civil wars
No full textThe 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

No full textIbrahim Hosen is one of the reformers of Islamic law in Indonesia. He is known as an Indonesian Muslim scholar who is engaged in the fields of fiqh and ushul fiqh. During his lifetime he served as a member of the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) as chairman of the MUI fatwa commission. His thoughts often become controversial among Indonesian scholars. This study intends to explain the figure of Ibrahim Hosen regarding how the background for the formation of the ijtihad method, his thoughts often become controversial. This research is historical research that aims to reconstruct the past in a systematic, comprehensive and objective manner. In terms of analysis, this research is qualitative in nature. Based on the sources or objects studied, this research uses library research (library research) namely research that uses library materials such as books, magazines, articles, etc. about Ibrahim Hosen's thoughts. In addition, this research is included in the study of the history of thought. The approach used is a biographical approach. The author traces the genesis of thought that occurred within Ibrahim Hosen starting from the views or factors that influenced his thinking both internally and externally. The results of this study indicate that Ibrahim Hosen's intellectual journey, especially when he studied religion, influenced his way of thinking in issuing fatwas. In addition, family and environmental factors also influence his thinking. There are nine methods of ijtihad formulated by Ibrahim Hosen, namely: Understanding of the Qur'an/Kitabullah, Understanding of the Sunnah/hadith of the Prophet, approachof my wisdom, problemconsensus', the zawajir approach to criminal law, the promotion of mashlahah mursalah, the use of kidah irtikab akhaffi al-dlararain, the use of sad al-zariah propositions, fixing the qath'i.

Custom Hyperspectral Imaging System Reveals Unique Spectral Signatures of Heart, Kidney, and Liver Tissues
No full text: The rapid advancement of diagnostic and therapeutic optical techniques for oncology demands a good understanding of the optical properties of biological tissues. This study explores the capabilities of hyperspectral (HS) cameras as a non-invasive and non-contact optical imaging system to distinguish and highlight spectral differences inbiological soft tissuesof three structures (kidney, heart, and liver) for use inendoscopic interventionoropen surgery. The study presents an optical system consisting of two individual setups, the transmission setup, and the reflection setup, both incorporating anHS camerawith apolychromatic light sourcewithin the range of 380 to 1050 nm to measure tissue's light transmission (Tr) and diffuse light reflectance (Rd), respectively. The optical system was calibrated with a customizedliquid optical phantom, then 30 samples from various organs were investigated fortissue characterizationby measuring both Tr and Rd at the visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) band. We exploited the ANOVA test, subsequently by a Tukey's test on the created three independent clusters (kidney vs. heart: group I / kidney vs. liver: group II / heart vs. liver: group III) to identify the optimum wavelength for each tissue regarding their spectroscopic optical properties in the VIS-NIR spectrum. The optimum spectral span for the determined light Tr of the three groups was 640 ∼ 680 nm, and the ideal range was 720 ∼ 760 nm for the measured light Rd for mutual group I and group II. However, the group III range was different at a range of 520 ∼ 560 nm. Therefore, the investigation provides vital information concerning theoptimum spectral scalefor the computed light Tr and Rd of the investigatedbiological tissues(kidney, liver, and heart) to be employed in diagnostic andtherapeutic medical applications
