Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the exceptional pulsar PSR B0628-28
PSR B0628-28 is a radio pulsar which was first detected in the X-ray band by
ROSAT and then later observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton. The Chandra
observation yielded an X-ray luminosity two orders of magnitude higher than
what is expected for spin-powered pulsars, also there were no pulsations
detected. The XMM-Newton observation, however, reveals pulsations at the
expected radio period, P=1.244 s. The simultaneously analyzed spectra also
gives a luminosity (in cgs) Log Lx=30.34, which is ~350 times greater than what
would be expected from the correlation between Lx-Edot.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, to be published in ApJ

Karyotype analyses of the species of the genus Jurinea Cass. (Compositae) in Turkey
In this study, karyotype analyses of 13 species belonging to the genus Jurinea Cass. (Compositae) and grown naturally in Turkey were conducted. These taxa include Jurinea alpigena C. Koch, Jurinea ancyrensis Bornm., Jurinea aucherana DC., Jurinea cadmea Boiss., Jurinea cataonica Boiss. and Hausskn., Jurinea consanguinea DC., Jurinea cypria Boiss., Jurinea macrocalathia C. Koch., Jurinea macrocephala DC., Jurinea mollis (L.) Reichb., Jurinea pontica Hausskn. and Freyn ex Hausskn., Jurinea pulchella DC., Jurinea ramulosa Boiss. and Hausskn. Karyotype analysis of all the species are introduced to the scientific community for the first time and they were obtained through an Image analysis system. The study has made contribution to the cytotaxonomic revision of the genus Jurinea in Turkey.Key words: Asteraceae, Image analysis, Jurinea, karyotype, Turkey

Dampak Pemanfaatan Bantaran Sungai terhadap Kualitas Lingkungan di Kelurahan Pasar Krui
This research aimed to know the impact of the utilization of riverbanks for settlement against the enviromental quality in Kelurahan Pasar Krui Pesisir Tengah District of Pesisir Barat Regency. Respondents in this research were 30 families which in riverbanks area. Method in this research was descriptive method. Data collecting technique was using questionnaire, observation and documentations. Data analysis technique in this research was simple percentage distribution and map analysis. This research result indicated that : 1). The average of narrowing Tuwak riverbanks is 8 meters. 2). A total of 27 (90%) of respondents throw the garbages to the Tuwak riverbanks beacause it is nearer with the settlements in samours of landfills. 3). A total 30 (100%) of respondents said there is contamination is Tuwak river because water mixed with trash.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak pemanfaatan bantaran sungai untuk permukiman terhadap kualitas lingkungan di Kelurahan Pasar Krui Kecamatan Pesisir Tengah Kabupaten Pesisir Barat. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah 30 Kepala Keluarga (KK) yang bermukim di area bantaran sungai. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara kuesioner, observasi dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini yaitu teknik analisis distribusi persentase sederhana dan analisis peta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Rata-rata penyempitan bantaran Sungai Tuwak adalah 8 meter. 2) Sebanyak 27 (90%) responden membuang sampah di Sungai Tuwak karena lebih dekat dengan permukiman penduduk daripada tempat pembuangan sampah umum. 3) Sebanyak 30 (100%) responden menyatakan terjadi pencemaranSungai Tuwak karenaterlihat air sungai bercampur dengan sampah
Phylogenetic relationship analysis of Genista L. (Fabaceae) species from Turkey as revealed by intersimple sequence repeat amplification
Genista L. (Fabaceae) is distributed in Europe, South Africa, and West Asia and consists of almost 90 species in the world. Thirteen species of the genus are distributed in Turkey. Taxonomic problems of the species started to be resolved with recently developed DNA-based molecular methods. These methods, in contrast to phenotypical analyses, are free from the effects of environmental conditions. In this study, DNA of the species which belong to the Genista genus, grown naturally in Turkey and collected from the different localities, were isolated with a commercial kit. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) is a simple molecular marker system that provides reliable results. Based on ISSR data, genetic similarities anddendrogram demonstrating the phylogenetic relationships among the Genista taxa were prepared by the NTSYSpc 2.0 software. In this study, infrageneric classifications of the Genista taxa belonging to the Flora of Turkey were conducted based on molecular data. ISSR analysis strongly supported the hypothesis that G. aucheri is accepted as the synonym of G. sessilifolia
