Germination and early growth assessment ofTamarindus indica L. were conducted to determine the suitable medium for germination and seedlings establishment of the species in Sokoto State, Nigeria. The viable seeds of the study species were treated with Conc. H2SO4for 30 minutes and boiling water for one hour and by soaking in water at room temperature for 12 hours. The treated seeds were placed in Petri dishes containing filter paper for germination assessment. The results indicated 68–95% germination ofT. indicaseeds within 3–19 days. Conc. H2SO4treatment gave the highest germination percentage of 95%.T. indicaseeds were treated with Conc. H2SO4for 30 minutes and sown into four (4) different potting mixtures for early growth assessment. Collar diameter, seedlings height, and leaf number were the parameters measured. Seedlings grown in the mixture of river sand and cow dung (2 : 1) had the highest seedlings height and leaf number, while the highest collar diameter was obtained from seedlings grown in the mixture of river sand and poultry droppings (2 : 1). However, growingT. indicain the mixture of river sand and cow dung (2 : 1) after 30 minutes pretreatment was recommended.

Summary. Austral bracken (Pteridium esculentum) has a major impact on forestry and the pastoral industries in Australia and New Zealand, as does P. aquilinum in parts of the northern hemisphere. There is a large body of, often conflicting, evidence on the toxicity of P. aquilinum to growth of other plants but there is little evidence for P. esculentum. Control of bracken is currently expensive and difficult to maintain as there is neither a marketable product based on bracken, nor a significant use for it on site. Current interest in commercial uses for bracken as mulch or compost requires analysis of the effects of bracken fronds on germination and growth of a representative range of plants. We report the effects of a mulch of chopped recently-dead (standing) bracken fronds on germination and early growth (to 9 or 12 weeks) of white mustard (Sinapis alba), of the improved pasture species, white clover (Trifolium repens) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), and of 2 native woodland species brown barrel (Eucalyptus fastigata) and yellow teatree (Leptospermum polygalifolium). A control mulch was prepared from chopped recently-dead bracken fronds by boiling and washing to extract possible allelochemicals and destroy associated microbiota. Bracken mulch stimulated seedling growth of white mustard, white clover, perennial ryegrass and brown barrel to a statistically significant, although moderate, extent (8–20%). Shoot length of perennial ryegrass and brown barrel, and leaf number and leaf size of brown barrel were more markedly enhanced (≥30%) by the application of bracken mulch. In contrast, bracken mulch reduced germination of yellow teatree to 25%, and leaf number, during early growth, to about one-third of that in the controls. The effects of bracken mulch may be due to release of active phytochemicals and mineral nutrients, with or without mediation by associated microflora including mycorrhizae. These glasshouse experiments suggest that recently-dead fronds of P. esculentum may prove a generally useful mulch, although monitoring for adverse effects on establishment and growth of particular species will be required.

Some information on the size and density of voids that develop in several high purity metals and alloys during irradiation with neutrons at elevated temperatures has been reported as a function of irradiation parameters. An area of particular interest is the nucleation and early growth stage of voids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the microstructure in high purity nickel after irradiation to a very low but constant neutron exposure at three different temperatures.Annealed specimens of 99-997% pure nickel in the form of foils 75μ thick were irradiated in a capsule to a total fluence of 2.2 × 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV). The capsule consisted of three temperature zones maintained by heaters and monitored by thermocouples at 350, 400, and 450°C, respectively. The temperature was automatically dropped to 60°C while the reactor was down.

In line with the times demand, nationlism changes as a dynamic of dialectics proceeds with changes in social, political, and ekonomic in the country and global levels. Based on a review of historical chronology, this paper analyzed descriptively the relationship between Islam and nationalism in Indonesia. Since the early growth of nationalism and the Dutch colonization period in Indonesia, Islam became the spirit of sacrifice of lives and property of the Indonesian people's fighting to get independence and on the Japanese colonial period and the early days of independence, Islam through the muslim leaders founction as base of departure and developer awareness of nasionalism, patriotism and unity to defend the independence. Despite the authoritarian New Order ruler cope with Islam through the establishment of the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI), but awareness of national Muslim leaders to build Indonesia managed to push governance reforms. And in this era of reform, the spirit of nationalism and the spirit of sacrifice of the Indonesian leaders increasingly eroded by corruption. Key words: proto-nationalism, political nationalism, cultural nationalism.
