Judul: Pengaruh pemupukan nitrogen dan belerang terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi bawang putih (Allium sativum var Lumbu Putih) pada latosol Darmaga
Abstrak: Percobaan dilaksanakan di sekitar lingkungan Rumah Kaca Jurusan Tanah, Faperta, IPB dari tanggal 11 Agustus sampai 9 Desember 1990. Analisis tanah dilakukan di Laboratorium Kimia Jurusan Tanah, Faperta, IPB, dan Laboratorium Kimia Terpadu, Jurusan Kimia, FMIPA, IPB. Khusus untuk ta- naman analisis dilakukan di Laboratorium Agronomi Balai Penelitian Tanaman Pangan Bogor. Sebagai media tumbuh tanaman, digunakan Latosol Darmaga dari kedalaman 0-40 cm. Pada tanah tersebut ditambahkan CaCO3 setara 11.06 ton/ha dan bahan organik (kotoran sapi setara 20 ton/ha), dicampur merata dan diinkubasi selama 2 minggu. Kemudian ditambahkan pupuk dasar 135 ppm P205, 300 ppm K20, dan 20 ppm Mn. Sebagai perlakuan, takaran pupuk N dari CO (NH2)2 sebanyak 0 (No); 125 (N₁); 250 (N2); 375 (N3); dan 500 ppm (N4), sedangkan takaran pupuk S dari CaSO4.2H2O sebanyak 0 (S); 22.5 (S₁); 45 (S2); dan 67.5 ppm S (S3). Kedua macam pupuk perlakuan tersebut diberikan tiga kali dengan proporsi 20% pada saat tanam, 50% pada umur 30 hari, dan 30% pada umur 45 hari setelah tanam. Parameter yang diamati pada penelitian ini meliputi: nitrogen, pH dan belerang tanah berat brangkasan, berat umbi kering; nitrogen brangkasan, nitrogen umbi, belerang brangkasan, dan belerang umbi. Sedangkan rancangan perco- baan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap Faktori- al, dengan tiga ulangan. ...

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.
