A star-forming galaxy at z= 5.78 in the Chandra Deep Field South
No full textWe report the discovery of a luminous z = 5.78 star-forming galaxy in the Chandra Deep Field South. This galaxy was selected as an ‘i-drop’ from the GOODS public survey imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (object 3 in the work of Stanway, Bunker & McMahon 2003). The large colour of (i′−z′)AB = 1.6 indicated a spectral break consistent with the Lyman α forest absorption shortward of Lyman α at z≈ 6. The galaxy is very compact (marginally resolved with ACS with a half-light radius of 0.08 arcsec, so rhl 5. Our spectroscopic redshift for this object confirms the validity of the i′-drop technique of Stanway et al. to select star-forming galaxies atz≈ 6

Negatively supercharging cellulases render them lignin-resistant
No full textNon-specific adsorption of cellulases to lignin hinders enzymatic deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass. Here we tested the hypothesis that negatively supercharging cellulases could reduce lignin inhibition. Computational design was used to negatively supercharge the surfaces of Ruminoclostridium thermocellum family 5 CelE and a CelE-family 3a carbohydrate binding module fusion. Resulting designs maintained the same expression yield, thermal stability, and nearly identical activity on soluble substrate as the wild-type proteins. Four designs showed complete lack of inhibition by lignin but with lower cellulose conversion compared to original enzymes. Increasing salt concentrations could partially rescue the activity of supercharged enzymes, supporting a mechanism of electrostatic repulsion between designs and cellulose. Results showcase a protein engineering strategy to construct highly active cellulases that are resistant to lignin-mediated inactivation, although further work is needed to understand the relationship between negative protein surface potential and activity on insoluble polysaccharides.Peer reviewe

Radio sources in the Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey
No full textWe discuss radio sources in the Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey region. By cross-matching the X-ray sources in this field with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey archival data, we find 12 candidate matches. We present a classification scheme for radio/X-ray matches in surveys taken in or near the Galactic plane, taking into account other multiwavelength data. We show that none of the matches found here is likely to be due to coronal activity from normal stars because the radio to X-ray flux ratios are systematically too high. We show that one of the source could be a radio pulsar, and that one could be a planetary nebula, but that the bulk of the sources are likely to be background active galactic nuclei (AGN), with many confirmed through a variety of approaches. Several of the AGN are bright enough in the near-infrared (and presumably in the optical) to use as probes of the interstellar medium in the inner Galaxy

Inductive local-global conditions and generalised Harish-Chandra theory
No full textWe study new properties of generalised Harish-Chandra theory aiming at explaining the inductive local-global conditions for finite groups of Lie type in nondefining characteristic. In particular, we consider a parametrisation of generalised Harish-Chandra series that is compatible with Clifford theory and with the action of automorphisms on irreducible characters and we reduce it to the verification of certain requirements on stabilisers and extendibility of characters. This parametrisation is used by the author in a separate paper to obtain new conjectures for finite reductive groups that can be seen as geometric realisations of the local-global counting conjectures and their inductive conditions. As a by-product, we extend the parametrisation of generalised Harish-Chandra series given by Broué–Malle–Michel to the nonunipotent case by assuming maximal extendibility
Fantasizing Chinese/Indonesian Hero: Njoo Cheong Seng and the Gagaklodra Series
No full textFantasizing Chinese/ Indonesian Hero : Njoo Cheong Seng and the gagaklodra Series.
This article examines the popular fantasy series, Gagaklodra, created by Njoo Cheong Seng in the late period of colonial Indonesia. As one of the earliest original works of crime and detective genre in Indonesia, conceived by an exceptionally cosmopolitan author of Chinese heritage, the Gagaklodra series is remarkably hybrid in terms of concept and content. It takes after both indigenous folklore and European cloak-and-dagger stories, anchored by a Javanese-Chinese protagonist. Written over the span of twenty-two years and three political regimes, the episodes of Gagaklodra not only capture the rapidly changing historical landscape between the 1930s and the 1940s, but also communicate a more inclusive outlook with regard to national belonging for the nation that was about to be born.Fantasmer le héros chinois/ indonésien : Njoo Cheong Seng et la série gagaklodra.
Cet article examine la série fantastique populaire intitulée Gagaklodra créée par Njoo Cheong Seng en Indonésie vers la fin de la période coloniale. Figurant parmi les premiers textes originaux du genre policier en Indonésie, conçue par un auteur héritier de culture chinoise exceptionnellement cosmopolite, la série Gagaklodra présente un caractère hybride remarquable en termes de concept et de contenu. Elle emprunte à la fois au folklore autochtone et aux histoires de cape et d’épée européennes, incarnée par un protagoniste javano-chinois. Écrits en l’espace de vingt-deux ans durant lesquels vont se succéder trois régimes politiques, les épisodes de Gagaklodra rendent non seulement compte du changement rapide du paysage politique entre les années 1930 et les années 1940, mais révèlent aussi une perspective plus globale au regard de l’appartenance nationale pour une nation en gestation.Chandra Elizabeth.
