Judul: Pengaruh N-Serve (Nitrapyrin) Terhadap Efektifitas Pembentukan Bintil Akar dan Pertumbuhan Tanaman Kedelai Varietas Wilis Pada Tanah Podsolik Merah Kuning Gajrug
Abstrak: Pengaruh N-Serve tidak terlihat terhadap kandungan dan NO3 tanah, begitu juga terhadap pembentukan bin- til akar tanaman kedelai varietas Wilis. Pengaruh urea terlihat terhadap pembentukan bintil akar bobot kering akar dan bobot kering bagian atas tamaman kedelai. Akan tetapi tidak terlihat pengaruhnya terhadap kandungan N akar dan kandungan N bagian atas tamaman kedelai. Perlakuan urea takaran 12.5 ppm dapat memaksimalkan jumlah bintil akar, berat kering akar, berat kering bagian atas dan kandungan N akar tanaman kedelai. Proses penambatan N secara simbiotik yang optimal + mempunyai hubungan dengan ketersediaan NH dan NO3 di- 4 dalam tanah. Penambatan N secara simbiotik cenderung menurun bila ketersediaan NH4 dan NO3 di dalam tanah meningkat.

Judul: Uji taraf pemupukan nitrogen dan inokulasi Rhizobium japonicum terhadap pertumbuhan bintil akar dan produksi kedelai (Glycine max L Merril) varietas tidar
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemupuken nitrogen dan dua Galur R. Japonicum yang berbeda terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman, jumlah dan bobot bintil akar, produksi kedelai Varietas Tidar pada Latosol Cimanggu. Metoda percobaan yang dipergunakan adalah Rancangan Petak Terpisah (Split Plot Design). Sebagai petak utama adalah perlakuan inokulan dengan taraf tanpa inokulan (R), diberi inokulan Rhizogin A (R₁), dan B (R₂), sedangakan anak petak merupakan perlakuan pupuk urea dengan taraf O kg urea/ha (No), 50 kg urea/ha (N₁), dan 100 kg urea/ha (N2). Dilakukan dengan 3 blok sekaligus sebagai ulangan, dimena tiap petak berukuran 3 x 4 m². Pengaruh inokulan tidak berbeds nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah polong, jumlah dan bobot bintil akar, dan produksi kedelai, karena lahan yang digunakan pernah dits- nami kedelsi, sehingga efek karena pengaruh residu kedelai masih terlihat pada tanah ini. Pemupukan N berpengaruh meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah polong, dan produksi kedelai, tetapi menurunkan be- rat kering bintil akar primer, sedangkan terhadap jumlah dan berat kering bintil akar sekunder tidak berbeda nyata…

Judul: Categorization in Macaca fascicularis.
Abstrak: Categorization is an ability to group individuals or events into different classes mediated by conceptualized mental images. There are several levels of categorization and within a taxonomy the levels are nested. At the most concrete level of categorization, all or most members of the category shared common physical attributes that differ from other categories. The higher the level of category, the fewer common attributes between members of the group. In addition to humans, the ability to categorize has also been proposed in animals. One example of categorization in animal is species discrimination. Using matching-tosample task, present experiment tested ability of the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in discriminating dichotomous-stimuli of different animals. The species has been shown to be able to see photos as representations of real object so I used facial photos of humans and animals for the stimuli. First, I tested their ability to classify humans and macaques into separate group. Second, I tested their ability to discriminate their conspecific from other macaques. And the last, I tested whether the subjects were able to discriminate non-human animals from humans. In all of these experiments I found that the subjects showed high performance in categorizing objects, even when I discarded details of visual informations, such as color and local shapes. The ability to identify objects with reduced representation of physical properties means the subjects were able to generalize attributes of members of the group. This would indicate that the subjects created a higher level abstraction. On the other hand, in discriminating intrageneric macaque species I found that they were able to extract uniqueness of each species. More over, I also found that the subjects were able to put photos of non-human animals that shared very few similarities in physical percepts into one group. I suggested that the subjects could create a more abstract concept based on non-percepts relations as a basis to put the objects into one category. Thus, I concluded that M. fascicularis were able to perform multiple levels of categorizations.
