FUSE Observations of the Cygnus Loop: OVI Emission from a Nonradiative Shock
We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of a
Balmer filament in the northeast region of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant.
The data consist of one spectrum obtained through the 30"x30" (LWRS) aperture
and three spectra at adjacent positions obtained through the 4"x20" (MDRS)
aperture. The nonradiative shocks in the region giving rise to these faint
optical filaments produce strong OVI 1032,1038 emission, which is detected in
all the spectra. The OVI emission is resolved by FUSE into a strong component
centered at 0 km/s, and weaker components centered at +/- 140 km/s. The MDRS
spectra allow us to study the variation of OVI emission in the post-shock
structure. We find that the zero velocity emission is associated directly with
the Balmer filament shock, while the high velocity emission comes from a more
uniformly distributed component elsewhere along the line of sight. We also find
that the shocks producing the emission at +/- 140 km/s have velocities between
180 km/s and 220 km/s, if we assume that the ram pressure driving them is the
same as for the zero velocity component shock. In the context of the cavity
model for the Cygnus Loop, the interaction of the blast wave with the spherical
shell that forms most of the cavity wall can naturally give rise to the similar
red and blue-shifted components that are observed.Comment: LaTeX uses aaspp4.sty, 18 pages + 5 PostScript figures. Accepted for

Exchange bias-like magnetic properties in Sr2LuRuO6
Exchange bias properties are observed in a double perovskite compound,
Sr2LuRuO6. The observed exchange bias properties have been analyzed on the
basis of some of the available theoretical models. Detailed magnetization
measurements show that the exchange bias properties are associated with the
Dzyaloshinsky-Moria (D-M) interaction among the antiferromagnetically ordered
Ru moments (TN~32K). In addition to the usual canting of the antiferromagnetic
moments, D-M interaction in this compound also causes a magnetization reversal
at T~26K, which seems to trigger the exchange bias properties. Heat capacity
measurements confirm the two magnetic anomalies.Comment: 5 Pages, 6 Figure
Inclusive Development: Two Papers on Conceptualization, Application, and the ADB Perspective
This compendium brings together two companion papers on inclusive development. The first paper uses the global literature to formulate a conceptualisation of inclusive development and inclusive growth, and to put the conceptualisation through its paces by applying it to the specific case of donor assistance to rural infrastructure. The second paper conducts a detailed review and a synthesis of Asian Development Bank literature on inclusive growth and inclusive development, to see how one particular international organization has addressed, and attempted to resolve, the analytical and operational issues associated with inclusive development.International Development, International Relations/Trade,
Light Field Blind Motion Deblurring
We study the problem of deblurring light fields of general 3D scenes captured
under 3D camera motion and present both theoretical and practical
contributions. By analyzing the motion-blurred light field in the primal and
Fourier domains, we develop intuition into the effects of camera motion on the
light field, show the advantages of capturing a 4D light field instead of a
conventional 2D image for motion deblurring, and derive simple methods of
motion deblurring in certain cases. We then present an algorithm to blindly
deblur light fields of general scenes without any estimation of scene geometry,
and demonstrate that we can recover both the sharp light field and the 3D
camera motion path of real and synthetically-blurred light fields.Comment: To be presented at CVPR 201
