Radio Observations of the Region around the Pulsar Wind Nebula HESS J1303-631 with ATCA

Radio observations of the region surrounding PSR J1301-6305 at 5.5 GHz and 7.5 GHz were conducted with ATCA on September 5th, 2013. They were dedicated to the search of the radio counterpart of the evolved pulsar wind nebula HESS J1303-631, detected in X-rays and GeV-TeV gamma-rays. The collected data do not reveal any significant extended emission associated with PSR J1301-6305. In addition, archival 1.384 GHz and 2.368 GHz data do not show any evidence for a radio counterpart of HESS J1303-631. Archival 1.384 GHz observations reveal a detection of an extended structure centred at an angular distance of 190 from the pulsar. This extended structure might be a Supernova remnant (SNR) and a potential birth place of PSR J1301-6305. The implications of the lack of radio counterpart of HESS J1303-631 on the understanding of the nature of the PWN are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, accepted for publication in A&

PENYELESAIAN KONFLIK PENYEROBOTAN HAK MILIK ATAS TANAHOLEH MASYARAKAT ADAT TERHADAP TANAH TRANSMIGRAN(Studi di Desa Bumiwonorejo Kecamatan Nabire Kabupaten Nabire Propinsi Papua)

The illegal occupancy that was carried out by the Ethnic Group's Ekari community in the Nabire Regency against the efforts transmigration land that was located all along Jayanti street Desa Bumiwonorejo village the Nabire Regency in Papua showed that the Article 32 PP No. 24 in 1997 about Registration state of the Land that stated that the certificate was strong proof kepemilikan the land, so as to the holder of these land rights got the protection of the law, if having an illegal occupancy action definitely this was compatible with this Article sound. \ud This research took the formulation of the problem: 1. Factors whether that caused the existence of the illegal occupancy conflict of proprietary rights on the land by the traditional community against the transmigrant's land in the Bumiwonorejo village the Nabire Regency? 2. How efforts of proprietary rights of the resolution of the illegal occupancy conflict on the land by the traditional community against the transmigrant's land in the Bumiwonorejo Village the Nabire Regency? \ud This research used the juridical approach method sociological, his technique of the data collection took the form of the interview with the respondent/the sample that came from their respective population numbering 10 good people from the transmigrant's numbering community 10 people and the Ethnic Group's Ekari community numbering 10 people as well as the documentation took the form of the data as the primary data. Afterwards the data was produced by this research analysed descriptively. From 10 people of the transmigrant's community and the Ethnic Group's Ekari community that carried out the illegal occupancy of private property of the transmigrant's community was received by factors that became the cause of the occurrence of the illegal occupancy of the land, this was caused by several factors, good the economic factor, the social jealousy factor as well as the factor of the community's culture. Saw jealousy from the Ethnic Group's Ekari community that was very big against the transmigrant's community was caused by the Ethnic Group's Ekari community more uncompetitive diberbagai the aspect of the life with the transmigrant's community, both that the aspect of the government, the aspect of politics and the aspect of economics. Definitely this situation had an impact for the economy of the Ethnic Group's Ekari community. Efforts that were carried out by the transmigrant's community in completing this conflict that is through the agency non litigasi that is to the Village Head. Some Instansi/Badan that had the authority dibidang the land was related to the illegal occupancy conflict of the land, as BPN also took part in playing a role in this conflict resolution where BPN co-operated with the Village Head carried out the conference with the sides. So as from results of this meeting of dismissing a decision that is this land was legal property of the transmigrant's community. Police also joined in as well as in the process penyelesaiaan this conflict by carrying out the guarding to avoid the occurrence of the conflict but also carried out the supervision of the conflicting land. \ud keywords: The Conflict Resolution, proprietary rights on the land, Transmigration \ud \u

The Bacterial Photosynthetic Reaction Center as a Model for Membrane Proteins

Membrane proteins participate in many fundamental cellular processes. Until recently, an understanding of the function and properties of membrane proteins was hampered by an absence of structural information at the atomic level. A landmark achievement toward understanding the structure of membrane proteins was the crystallization (1) and structure determination (2-5) the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from the purple bacteria Rhodopseudomonas viridis, followed by that of the RC from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (6-17). The RC is an integral membrane protein-pigment complex, which carries out the initial steps of photosynthesis (reviewed in 18). RCs from the purple bacteria Rps. viridis and Rb. sphaeroides are composed of three membrane-associated protein subunits (designated L, M, and H), and the following cofactors: four bacteriochlorophylls (Bchl or B), two bacteriopheophytins (Bphe or [phi]), two quinones, and a nonheme iron. The cofactors are organized into two symmetrical branches that are approximately related by a twofold rotation axis (2, 8). A central feature of the structural organization of the RC is the presence of 11 hydrophobic [alpha]-helixes, approximately 20-30 residues long, which are believed to represent the membrane-spanning portion of the RC (3, 9). Five membrane-spanning helixes are present in both the L and M subunits, while a single helix is in the H subunit. The folding of the L and M subunits is similar, consistent with significant sequence similarity between the two chains (19-25). The L and M subunits are approximately related by the same twofold rotation axis that relates the two cofactor branches. RCs are the first membrane proteins to be described at atomic resolution; consequently they provide an important model for discussing the folding of membrane proteins. The structure demonstrates that [alpha]-helical structures may be adopted by integral membrane proteins, and provides confirmation of the utility of hydropathy plots in identifying nonpolar membrane-spanning regions from sequence data. An important distinction between the folding environments of water-soluble proteins and membrane proteins is the large difference in water concentration surrounding the proteins. As a result, hydrophobic interactions (26) play very different roles in stabilizing the tertiary structures of these two classes of proteins; this has important structural consequences. There is a striking difference in surface polarity of membrane and water-soluble proteins. However, the characteristic atomic packing and surface area appear quite similar. A computational method is described for defining the position of the RC in the membrane (10). After localization of the RC structure in the membrane, surface residues in contact with the lipid bilayer were identified. As has been found for soluble globular proteins, surface residues are less well conserved in homologous membrane proteins than the buried, interior residues. Methods based on the variability of residues between homologous proteins are described (13); they are useful (a) in defining surface helical regions of membrane and water-soluble proteins and (b) in assigning the side of these helixes that are exposed to the solvent. A unifying view of protein structure suggests that water-soluble proteins may be considered as modified membrane proteins with covalently attached polar groups that solubilize the proteins in aqueous solution

Technology enhanced learning in 21st century mass higher education. Aspects of design, practice and strategy for a necessary step change

Modern day mass higher education presents challenges for both learners and teachers. Whilst digital resources, Web 2.0 technologies and online connectivity can add significantly to the learning opportunities of 21st century students, many cross programme Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) provisions remain collections of somewhat disconnected and basic materials. In its early development, organised e-learning has generally been the province of specialist programmes and individuals championing the new technologies. However along with the adoption of technology enhanced learning, there is a growing need to develop, design and embed more fundamental and far reaching strategic approaches that embrace the core of traditional university learning and teaching programmes. This paper focuses upon a large undergraduate core module and discusses the implications of a practice based case study which explored how traditional campus based undergraduate learning and teaching could be redesigned and enhanced by the addition of online technology and e-pedagogy. It considers aspects of both pedagogical and technological design and examines how a VLE can support learners and teaching teams. Findings showed that students were extremely positive about the mix of onsite and online learning. They saw anytime, anywhere access as fundamental, and valued the flexible access and collaborative opportunities offered by Web 2.0 and mobile resources. Considerable operational benefits arose in supporting teaching teams and student marks increased. Drawing upon lessons learned from practice, and feedback gained from students and teachers, the paper examines how the approach may inform future curriculum delivery and programme specification. It considers the contribution that blended learning may make in addressing the needs of 21st century learners in mass higher education, and reflects on the implications of the case study in terms of aspects of design, practice and strategy

The re-emission spectrum of digital hardware subjected to EMI

The emission spectrum of digital hardware under the influence of external electromagnetic interference is shown to contain information about the interaction of the incident energy with the digital circuits in the system. The generation mechanism of the re-emission spectrum is reviewed, describing how nonlinear effects may be a precursor to the failure of the equipment under test. Measurements on a simple circuit are used to demonstrate how the characteristics of the re-emission spectrum may be correlated with changes to the digital waveform within the circuit. The technique is also applied to a piece of complex digital hardware where Similar, though more subtle, effects can be measured. It is shown that the re-emission spectrum can be used to detect the interaction of the interference with the digital devices at a level well below that which is able to cause static failures in the circuits. The utility of the technique as a diagnostic tool for immunity testing of digital hardware, by identifying which subsystems are being affected by external interference, is also demonstrated
