description: Edited by former political prisoner Putu Oka Sukanta, this collection brings together voices from people around the archipelago who experienced the 1965–66 violence in Indonesia. Fifteen witnesses from Medan, Palu, Kendari, Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bali, Kupang and Sabu Island share stories of how they navigated this horrifying period of Indonesian history and how they have lived with this past. These are ordinary people who worked as teachers, artists, women’s activists and policemen before their lives were turned upside down when those considered to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party began to be attacked. These accounts, including one from a perpetrator who is now tormented by guilt, and others from survivors who still feel isolated and rejected by society, show how the violence continues to influence Indonesian society. This book will be a valuable resource for students of history, of Indonesia and for people wanting to under­stand the impact of the 1965–66 violence.
87. Radial velocities: results from DR3

description: In this paper we study the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator with injected signal, both analytically and numerically. We develop a perturbation approach which allows us to find approximate analytical solutions, starting from the full equations of motion in the positive P-representation. We demonstrate the regimes of validity of our approximations via comparison with the full stochastic results. We and that, with reasonably low levels of injected signal, the system allows for demonstrations of quantum entanglement and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. In contrast to the normal optical parametric oscillator operating below threshold, these features are demonstrated with relatively intense felds.

description: Understanding microscopic processes in materials and devices that can be switched by light requires experimental access to dynamics on nanometer length and femtosecond time scales. Here, we introduce ultrafast dark-field electron microscopy, tailored to map the order parameter across a structural phase transition. We track the evolution of charge-density wave domains in 1T-TaS2 after ultrashort laser excitation, elucidating relaxation pathways and domain wall dynamics. The unique benefits of selective contrast enhancement will inspire future beam shaping technology in ultrafast transmission electron microscopy.

description: The financial surplus of agriculture has been central to theories of the role of agriculture in economic development. Morrisson and Thorbecke (MT) have used a constant-price social accounting matrix (SAM) framework to rigorously measure the financial surplus of agriculture and decompose the mechanisms of surplus extraction. History and theory have, however, stressed the role of prices as an invisible transfer mechanism in addition to the visible transfers identified in the SAM framework. We extend the MT approach by defining and measuring the real surplus of agriculture and decomposing the mechanisms of surplus extraction between visible and invisible financial transfers. Using an archetype computable general equilibrium model for poor African nations, we trace the generation, transfer, and use of an agricultural surplus created by a productivity gain in agriculture. This shows that prices indeed play an overwhelmingly important role in transferring a surplus from agriculture to the benefit of the rest of the economy.

description: Much of the scholarship on the Great War, and especially the Dardanelles/Çanakkale campaign, has been viewed through a narrow national prism and focused exclusively on military aspects of the engagement. This new collection of essays offers fresh perspectives from countries on both sides of the trenches of Gallipoli. Examined here are intersections of art and memory, and the role that material culture and museums play in the representation and commemoration of war. The ideas and writing draw on fiction, poetry and diaries, as well as new digital media, which together frame the memory of war. Our ongoing encounter with Gallipoli’s much-contested landscape here takes on new hues and reveals untold stories. Beyond Gallipoli takes an innovative approach to the varied and controversial cultural legacies of an event which continues to shape the identity of Australia, New Zealand and Turkey.
Jamming transition in emulsions and granular materials

description: We investigate the jamming transition in packings of emulsions and granular materials via molecular dynamics simulations. The emulsion model is composed of frictionless droplets interacting via nonlinear normal forces obtained using experimental data acquired by confocal microscopy of compressed emulsions systems. Granular materials are modeled by Hertz-Mindlin deformable spherical grains with Coulomb friction. In both cases, we find power-law scaling for the vanishing of pressure and excess number of contacts as the system approaches the jamming transition from high volume fractions. We find that the construction history parametrized by the compression rate during the preparation protocol has a strong effect on the micromechanical properties of granular materials but not on emulsions. This leads the granular system to jam at different volume fractions depending on the histories. Isostaticity is found in the packings close to the jamming transition in emulsions and in granular materials at slow compression rates and infinite friction. Heterogeneity of interparticle forces increases as the packings approach the jamming transition which is demonstrated by the exponential tail in force distributions and the small values of the participation number measuring spatial localization of the forces. However, no signatures of the jamming transition are observed in structural properties, like the radial distribution functions and the distributions of contacts.

description: If a monopoly supplies a perishable good, such as tickets to a performance, and is unable to price discriminate within a period, the monopoly may benefit from the potential entry of resellers. If the monopoly attempts to intertemporally price discriminate, the equilibrium in the game among buyers is indeterminate when the resellers are not allowed to enter, and the monopoly's problem is not well defined. An arbitrarily small amount of heterogeneity of information among the buyers leads to a unique equilibrium. We show how the potential entry of resellers alters this equilibrium.

description: Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with changes in the microbiome. The role of these changes and their precise association with disease course and activity remain ambiguous. In this prospective single-center study, the mucosal microbiome of surgical CD and non-CD patients was compared at the time of surgery. Microbial analyses were individually performed for ileal and colonic tissue samples obtained during surgery using 16S-rRNA-gene amplicon sequencing. Three groups out of the 46 included patients were formed: 1) a study group of CD of patients who received ileocecal resection due to CD involvement (CD study, n=10); 2) a control group of non-CD of patients who received intestinal resection due to indications other than CD (non-CD control, n=27); and 3) a second control group of CD who underwent resection of the intestine not affected by CD (CD non-affected control, n=9). Species richness and Shannon diversity were not different between all formed groups and regions analyzed (p>0.05). Several significant taxonomic differences were seen at the phylum-, order-, and genus-levels between the formed groups, such as a decrease of Firmicutes (phylum-level) and an increase of Bacteroides and Escherichia/Shigella/Pseudescherichia (genus-level) in CD study - colon vs. the non-CD control - colon (p <= 0.05). The CD non-affected control presented the largest amount of differentially abundant taxa in comparison to the other groups. These results underline that CD is accompanied by changes in affected and non-affected intestinal regions compared to non-CD controls. This study contributes the mucosal microbiome of a well-defined subset of surgical CD patients without confounding aspects of the fecal microbiome or regional microbial differences to the existing literature.
Australia's Northern Shield? Papua New Guinea and the Defence of Australia since 1880

description: This book is the first to draw extensively on the recently released highly classified notes of the cabinet room discussions of successive Australian Governments from 1950 to the mid-1970s and details the changing attitude of the nation’s leaders towards the place of Papua New Guinea in Australia’s defence and security outlook. The Cabinet Notebooks provide an uncensored and unprecedented insight into the opinion of Australia’s leaders towards Indonesia under Sukarno, Southeast Asia and Indo China in general, the changing nature of relations with Britain and the United States and, finally, towards Papua New Guinea. The cabinet room discussions reveal attitudes towards Asia and Australia’s place in the region more nuanced, varied and sensitive than previously known. They also illustrate the dominant influence of Prime Minister Robert Menzies and Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen in shaping Australia’s response to the critical events of this time. Australia’s Northern Shield? shows how, since colonial times, Australia has assessed the importance of Papua New Guinea by examining the ambitions of and threats from external sources, principally Imperial Germany, Japan, and Indonesia. It examines the significant change in Australia’s attitude as this region approached independence in 1975, amid concerns as to the new nation’s future stability and unity. The terms of Australia’s long-term defence undertaking are examined in detail and an examination is offered also of the most recent attempts to define the strategic importance of Papua New Guinea to Australia.
Janus Monolayers of Magnetic Transition Metal Dichalcogenides as an All-in-One Platform for Spin-Orbit Torque

description: We theoretically predict that vanadium-based Janus dichalcogenide monolayers constitute an ideal platform for spin-orbit-torque memories. Using first principles calculations, we demonstrate that magnetic exchange and magnetic anisotropy energies are higher for heavier chalcogen atoms, while the broken inversion symmetry in the Janus form leads to the emergence of Rashba-like spin-orbit coupling. The spin-orbit torque efficiency is evaluated using optimized quantum transport methodology and found to be comparable to heavy nonmagnetic metals. The coexistence of magnetism and spin-orbit coupling in such materials with tunable Fermi-level opens new possibilities for monitoring magnetization dynamics in the perspective of non-volatile magnetic random access memories.

description: We show vanishing results about the infimum of the topological entropy of the geodesic flow of homogeneous smooth four manifolds. We prove that any closed oriented geometric four manifold has zero minimal entropy if and only if it has zero simplicial volume. We also show that if a four manifold M admits a geometric decomposition, in the sense of Thurston, and does not have geometric pieces modelled on hyperbolic four-space, the complex hyperbolic plane or the product of two hyperbolic planes, then M admits an F-structure. It follows that M has zero minimal entropy and collapses with curvature bounded from below. We then analyse whether or not M admits a metric whose topological entropy coincides with the minimal entropy of M and provide new examples of manifolds for which the minimal entropy problem cannot be solved.

description: While the effects of NAFTA will not be known for quite sometime, an early appraisal can be made (1) using an econometric decomposition of trade patterns with and without the agreement and (2) assessing NAFTA as a learning process. Results show that the Agreement helped increase Mexican imports from the U.S. when Mexican incomes were rising and helped prevent a further fall in imports when incomes were falling. As a learning process, the most promising aspect of the Agreement is reliance on tri-national civil society as the warrant of implementation of the clauses of the agreement and of each country's labor and environmental laws. This is inducing the active participation of a thickening web of corporatist and non-governmental organizations that cut across national boundaries. Political sustainability of the Agreement requires to deal not only with the transitory poverty created by economic adjustments, but also with the deeper problem of social exclusion from the benefits of globalization.

description: We show that simple stochastic models of genome evolution lead to power law asymptotics of protein domain family size distribution. These models, called Birth, Death and Innovation Models (BDIM), represent a special class of balanced birth-and-death processes, in which domain duplication and deletion rates are asymptotically equal up to the second order. The simplest, linear BDIM shows an excellent fit to the observed distributions of domain family size in diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, the stochastic version of the linear BDIM explored here predicts that the actual size of large paralogous families is reached on an unrealistically long timescale. We show that introduction of non-linearity, which might be interpreted as interaction of a particular order between individual family members, allows the model to achieve genome evolution rates that are much better compatible with the current estimates of the rates of individual duplication/loss events.

description: Much is known about British migration to Australia and something is known of British communities in Australia, but knowledge, particularly quantitative, of Australian migration to Britain is very sketchy. The phenomenon has been acknowledged but little explored. There are a number of important studies of significant Australians in the UK, and there has been recent research on the current Australian diaspora, but there is no study of the overall Australian presence, its constituents or its characteristics, in Britain. Developments in this field of research offer an important window on how Australians have related to the ‘British world’ historically and on the dynamic nature of the contemporary relationship. Australians in Britain is an edited collection of papers of international research on the character and experience of overseas Australians and Australian communities in Britain since c.1901. It offers a comprehensive overview of current scholarship in this exciting, new and developing field of inquiry. This book has a contemporary focus, drawing on both recent and historical experiences with a view to understanding continuing trends – such as the consistent preponderance of women and the recent surge in young professionals travelling to Britain – and issues such as expatriation, imperialism, globalisation, national identity and overseas citizenship. This book will appeal to scholars of Australian Studies, History, Demography, Literary and Cultural Studies, and Tourism. With an emphasis on London, Australians in Britain explores a range of subject matter including: artists, literary intellectuals, students, women, tourists and travellers, servicemen, nurses, teachers and journalists; global professionals; the changing community; demographic trends; migration; links between Australia and Britain; Australian newspapers in London; and Australia in the ‘British world’.

description: Temperature inversion layers are predicted to be present in ultra-hot giant planet atmospheres. Although such inversion layers have recently been observed in several ultra-hot Jupiters, the chemical species responsible for creating the inversion remain unidentified. Here, we present observations of the thermal emission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, WASP-189b, at high spectral resolution using the HARPS-N spectrograph. Using the cross-correlation technique, we detect a strong Fe I signal. The detected Fe I spectral lines are found in emission, which is direct evidence of a temperature inversion in the planetary atmosphere. We further performed a retrieval on the observed spectrum using a forward model with an MCMC approach. When assuming a solar metallicity, the best-fit result returns a temperature of $4320_{-100}^{+120}$ K at the top of the inversion, which is significantly hotter than the planetary equilibrium temperature (2641 K). The temperature at the bottom of the inversion is determined as $2200_{-800}^{+1000}$ K. Such a strong temperature inversion is probably created by the absorption of atomic species like Fe I.

Negotiating urban design : looking to Portside
Creators: name: Billington, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines how planners negotiate urban design by examining a case study of a development project that was planned for the waterfront of Vancouver, British Columbia in the 1990s. This project, called Portside, was to be situated on land owned by the federal government, adjacent to the downtown of the City of Vancouver but not under their jurisdiction. The literatures in urban design and negotiation theory are iteratively searched to find where there is overlap between theoretical writing on related subjects and communicative or collaborative planning. Qualitative methodologies were used in researching this subject with emphasis on interviews of representatives of those parties involved in negotiations. The questions asked in the interviews mirror the progression of ideas in the theoretical underpinnings of the paper and form the framework around which the results are organized. The statements of the interview subjects form the basis of the about what works in negotiating urban design. High quality urban design is the result of a high quality design process-one that uses effective negotiation techniques and a mixed bag of practical planning tools. The theory of communicative planning acknowledges the importance of negotiation skills and multiple approaches to overcoming obstacles such as those found in the case study. The importance of visual communication skills, team cooperation, anticipation of problem areas, and flexibility within bureaucratic frameworks for planning professionals are underlined as a result of examining this development project. It is apparent that negotiating urban design happens often in Vancouver. It is also apparent that practitioners are unclear as to how they reach agreement in areas that can be subjective and unquantifiable, only that agreement is usually reached. The literature of communicative planning supplies suggestions as to how "messy" problems, such as negotiating urban design in a multi-stakeholder context, can be successfully overcome. And the techniques put forward in the theory are apparent in practice in this case. A high-quality communicative planning process, one that made good use of best negotiative practices coupled with effective design-specific communication, led to highquality urban design for this project. These methods were applied largely unconsciously by the participants as part of a mixed bag of practical planning tools.

description: Women with endometriosis (EM), particularly the manifestations of adenomyosis (AM) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), suffer from pain and sterility. DIE also appears with several specific obstetric complications. To determine the risk profile, we designed a retrospective case-control study. Primary outcomes were defined as the risk of preterm birth and caesarean delivery (CD). Primiparous singleton pregnancies in women with DIE were compared with controls without EM. We matched for mode of conception and maternal age. A total of 41 women diagnosed with DIE and 164 controls were recruited. A total of 92.7% of the cases were also diagnosed with AM. Preterm birth occurred in 12.2% of cases and in 6.7% of controls. The difference was not statistically significant (OR: 1.932; 95% CI: 0.632-5.907). The rate of CD was similar in both groups. Remarkably, placental implantation disorders in the form of placenta praevia were eight times more frequent in women with DIE (9.8%) than in controls (1.2%, OR: 8.757; 95% CI: 1.545-49.614). Neonatal outcome was similar in both groups. Four out of fourteen cases reported abdominal wall endometriosis after CD. Women with DIE/AM and with placenta praevia are at risk of bleeding complications. After CD, they can develop abdominal wall EM. We therefore suggest evaluating the birth mode in each woman with DIE/AM.

description: Long before the advent of modern tourism, Australians travelled to live in Italy, or undertook extensive visits there. Indeed they continue to do so in increasing numbers, as women and men find Italian partners; as business people with European interests settle there; as retirees in their thousands seek ‘the good life’ that Italy seems to promise. While many are familiar with celebrated expatriates such as Germaine Greer, Jeffrey Smart, Peter Robb and David Malouf, hundreds of other artists, writers, musicians and intellectuals have made and continue to make a notable contribution to the cultural and intellectual lives of both countries. Whilst Australian Studies flourishes in Italian universities, Australian academics write distinguished accounts of Italian history covering various eras. Despite this sustained activity, the scholarly and cultural engagement of Australians with Italy is not well known. This collection seeks to map the past and present of the Australian love affair with Italy, and yields rich insights into its causes, motivations and transformations. Contributors include former Australian Ambassador to Italy Rory Steele, poet Peter Porter, artists Euan Heng and Jo-Anne Duggan, as well as distinguished academics and young scholars. Amongst the diverse range of articles and vignettes are chapters by Ian Britain on Donald Friend’s Italian years, Loretta Baldassar exploring reverse migration, and novelist Lisa Clifford reflecting on her family ties with Italy. Australians in Italy will appeal to scholars and students of migration and multiculturalism, Australian Studies, Italian Studies, and tourism and travel. It will also delight those interested in Italy and all things Italian.

description: The iterated Crank-Nicolson is a predictor-corrector algorithm commonly used in numerical relativity for the solution of both hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations. We here extend the recent work on the stability of this scheme for hyperbolic equations by investigating the properties when the average between the predicted and corrected values is made with unequal weights and when the scheme is applied to a parabolic equation. We also propose a variant of the scheme in which the coefficients in the averages are swapped between two corrections leading to systematically larger amplification factors and to a smaller numerical dispersion.

description: Timor-Leste’s independence was forged at a time when international developmental theory had rejected top down approaches and recognised the importance of participatory approaches. When the United Nations and a multitude of bilateral and multilateral non-government organisations arrived in Timor-Leste in 1999 it was hoped that the international intervention would at last produce a development success story. But independence also brought the realisation that dreams for an independent Timor-Leste varied, often according to the dreamer’s generation. Three generations of Timorese: the political elite, a younger generation of independence activists (gerasaun foun) and today’s youth of independent Timor-Leste, each bring their own experiences and face different challenges in Timor-Leste. Today stark contrasts between the values of customary life and those of the modernising world place both community leaders and young Timorese at a crossroads. The experiences of the Timorese are unique, but this book reflects a broader analysis about how aid-influenced processes of development can work in greater harmony with people to realise their own visions of the future of the nation.
Anzac Memories: Living with the Legend (new edition)

description: Anzac Memories was first published to acclaim in 1994, and has achieved international renown for its pioneering contribution to the study of war memory and mythology. Michael McKernan wrote that the book gave ‘as good a picture of the impact of the Great War on individuals and Australia as we are likely to get in this generation’, and Michael Roper concluded that ‘an immense achievement of this book is that it so clearly illuminates the historical processes that left men like my grandfather forever struggling to fashion myths which they could live by’. In this new edition Alistair Thomson explores how the Anzac legend has transformed over the past quarter century, how a ‘post-memory’ of the Great War creates new challenges and opportunities for making sense of the national past, and how veterans’ war memories can still challenge and complicate national mythologies. He returns to a family war history that he could not write about twenty years ago because of the stigma of war and mental illness, and he uses newly released Repatriation files to question his own earlier account of veterans’ post-war lives and memories and to think afresh about war and memory.

description: Paul O'Brien, known affectionately as ‘POB’, was one of the most imaginative and creative materials chemists of his generation. He brought a deep understanding and knowledge of classical coordination chemistry to bear on routes to thin films and nanoparticles of technologically important materials, particularly metal chalcogenides. His development of molecular precursor chemistry as a method to produce very high quality materials safely, inexpensively and on a large scale laid the foundations for the successful technological exploitation of quantum dots. Paul had a compendious knowledge of science, particularly inorganic chemistry, and was passionate about the exploitation of science and engineering to improve society, both in the UK and around the world, most notably in Africa. He was a wonderful raconteur, and a great counsellor to his many friends, and a source of endless jokes (many of them bad). His greatest passion was science, yet somehow he also found time for other interests, including reading, hill-walking and camping, theatre and football. Paul was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme on his sixty-fourth birthday in January 2018, and this led to his retirement in July 2018 and his appointment as Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester. He approached his illness with his usual scientific curiosity and optimism. He passed away peacefully with his beloved wife Kym by his side.

description: We derive discrete and oscillatory Chern-Simons matrix models. The method is based on fundamental properties of the associated orthogonal polynomials. As an application, we show that the discrete model allows to prove and extend the recently found relationship between Chern-Simons theory and q-deformed 2dYM. In addition, the equivalence of the Chern-Simons matrix models gives a complementary view on the equivalence of effective superpotentials in N=1 gauge theories.

description: It is computationally expensive to search the large parameter space associated with a gravitational wave signal of uncertain frequency, such as might be expected from the possible pulsar generated by SN1987A. To address this difficulty we have developed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method that performs a time-domain Bayesian search for a signal over a 4 Hz frequency band and a spindown of magnitude of up to $1\ee{-9}$ Hz/s. We use Monte Carlo simulations to set upper limits on signal amplitude with this technique, which we intend to apply to a gravitational wave search.

description: In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), how to improve spectrum efficiency is a crucial issue. Meanwhile increased energy consumption inspires network operators to deploy renewable energy sources as assistance to traditional electricity. Based on above aspects, we allow base stations (BSs) to share their licensed spectrum resource with each other and adjust transmission power to adapt to the renewable energy level. Considering the sharing fairness among BSs, we formulate a multi-person bargaining problem as a stochastic optimization problem. We divide the optimization problem into three parts: data rate control, resource allocation and energy management. An online dynamic control algorithm is proposed to control admission rate and resource allocation to maximize the transmission and sharing profits with the least grid energy consumption. Simulation results investigate the time-varying data control and energy management of BSs and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

description: This article uses monthly price data to estimate farm-retail price response equations for three California market areas. The results indicate that there is a strong direct relationship between retail and farm-level milk prices-retailers increase and decrease their prices equally in response to f.o.b. price increases and decreases. While the total retail response to farm price increases and decreases is equal, the timing of the adjustments is not. Farm price increases during a given month led to retail price increases during the same month while farm price decreases were not fully reflected in retail prices until the following month.

description: A general mechanism for "breaking" commutativity in algebras is proposed: if the underlying set is taken to be not a crisp set, but rather an obscure/fuzzy set, the membership function, reflecting the degree of truth that an element belongs to the set, can be incorporated into the commutation relations. The special "deformations" of commutativity and $\varepsilon $-commutativity are introduced in such a way that equal degrees of truth result in the "nondeformed" case. We also sketch how to "deform" $\varepsilon$-Lie algebras and Weyl algebras. Further, the above constructions are extended to $n$-ary algebras for which the projective representations and $\varepsilon $-commutativity are studied.

Theoretical Aspects of Gravitational Lensing in TeVeS

description: Since Bekenstein's (2004) creation of his Tensor-Vector-Scalar theory (TeVeS), the Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm has been redeemed from the embarrassment of lacking a relativistic version. One primary success of TeVeS is that it provides an enhancement of gravitational lensing, which could not be achieved by other MONDian theories. Following Bekenstein's work, we investigate the phenomena of gravitational lensing including deflection angles, lens equations and time delay. We find that the deflection angle would maintain its value while the distance of closest approach vary in the MOND regime, this coincides with the conclusion of Mortlock and Turner's (2001) intuitional approach. Moreover, the scalar field, which is introduced to enhance the deflection angle in TeVeS, contributes a negative effect on the potential time delay. Unfortunately this phenomenon is unmeasurable in lensing systems where we can only observe the time delay between two images for a given source. However, this measurable time delay offers another constraint on the mass ratio of the DM and MOND scenarios, which in general differs from that given by the deflection angle. In other words, for a lensing system, if two masses, m_gN and m_gM, are mutually alternatives for the deflection angles in their own paradigm, regarding the time delay they are in general in an exclusive relation.

description: The effects of product and economic characteristics on consumers who purchase six cuts of fresh beef (blocks/parts, steak, thinly sliced, diced, chopped, and ground) in urban areas of the United States, Japan, and Australia will be examined in this paper. Certain product characteristics (such as product freshness and display case cleanliness) were important to consumers of beef in all three countries while other product characteristics (such as price considerations for ground beef consumers) were important for consumers of different beef cuts in all three countries. Some product characteristics varied in importance across consumers from different countries and consumers of different beef cuts.

description: The synchrotron X-ray "stripes" discovered in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) have been attracting attention since they may be evidence for proton acceleration up to PeV. We analyzed Chandra data taken in 2003, 2007, 2009, and 2015 for imaging and spectroscopy of the stripes in the southwestern region of the SNR. Comparing images obtained at different epochs, we find that time variability of synchrotron X-rays is not limited to two structures previously reported but is more common in the region. Spectral analysis of nine bright stripes reveals not only their time variabilities but also a strong anti-correlation between the surface brightness and photon indices. The spectra of the nine stripes have photon indices of Γ= 2.1--2.6 and are significantly harder than those of the outer rim of the SNR in the same region with Γ= 2.7--2.9. Based on these findings, we indicate that the magnetic field is substantially amplified, and suggest that particle acceleration through a stochastic process may be at work in the stripes.
