description: We provide the first experimental demonstration of geometric phase generated in association with closed Poincaré Sphere trajectories comprised of geodesic arcs that do not start, end, or necessarily even include, the north and south poles that represent pure Laguerre- Gaussian modes. Arbitrarily tilted (elliptical) single vortex states are prepared with a spatial light modulator, and Poincaré Sphere circuits are driven by beam transit through a series of π-converters and Dove prisms.
Cosmological advection flows in the presence of primordial black holes as dark matter and formation of first sources

description: In the inflation-based cosmology the dark matter (DM) density component starts moving with respect to the universal expansion at $z_{\rm eq}\sim 3,200$ while baryons remain frozen until $z_{\rm rec}\sim 1,100$. It has been suggested that in this case post-linear corrections to the evolution of small fluctuations would result, for the standard $Λ$-dominated cold DM (CDM) model, in delayed formation of early objects as supersonic advection flows develop after recombination, so baryons are not immediately captured by the DM gravity on small scales. We develop the hydrodynamical description of such two-component advection and show that, in the supersonic regime, the advection within irrotational fluids is governed by the gradient of the difference of the kinetic energies of the two (DM and baryonic here) components. We then apply this formalism to the case where DM is made up of LIGO-type black holes (BHs) and show that there the advection process on scales relevant for early structure collapse will differ significantly from the earlier discussed (CDM) case because of the additional granulation component to the density field produced during inflation. The advection here will lead efficiently to the common motion of the DM and baryon components on scales relevant for collapse and formation of first luminous sources.This leads to early collapse making easier to explain the existence of supermassive BHs observed in quasars at high $z>7$. The resultant net advection rate reaches minimum around $< 10^9M_\odot$ and subsequently rises to a secondary maximum near the typical mass of $\sim 10^{12}M_\odot$, which may be an important consideration for formation of galaxies at z

description: We present a theoretical analysis of the proximity effect at a graphene-superconductor interface. We use a tight-binding model for the electronic states in this system which allows to describe the interface at the microscopic level. Two different interface models are proposed: one in which the superconductor induces a finite pairing in the graphene regions underneath, thus maintaining the honeycomb structure at the interface and one that assumes that the graphene layer is directly coupled to a bulk superconducting electrode. We show that properties like the Andreev reflection probability and its channel decomposition depend critically on the model used to describe the interface. We also study the proximity effect on the local density of states on the graphene. For finite layers we analyze the induced minigap and how it is reduced when the length of the layer increases. Results for the local density of states profiles for finite and semi-infinite layers are presented.

Learning and Memory

description: Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous brain metabolite produced by the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. It acts as an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine (?7nACh) receptors, which are involved in glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission and are critical to an efficiently functioning learning and memory system. The hippocampus, a brain area intricately involved in learning and memory, is innervated by both glutamatergic and cholinergic neurons and contains abundant NMDA and ?7nACh receptors. This thesis was designed to study if modulation of glutamatergic and cholinergic function by KYNA plays a role in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. In FVB/N mice, genomic elimination of kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT II), the main enzyme responsible for KYNA production in the brain, caused a reduction in hippocampal KYNA levels on postnatal day (PND) 21. This was accompanied by increased extracellular hippocampal glutamate levels and improved performance in some well-established learning and memory paradigms. Mutant PND 21 129SvEv mice also displayed reduced KYNA levels, however without similar changes in glutamate levels or performance on the passive avoidance task. At PND 90, when brain KYNA levels in mutant FVB/N mice returned to wild-type levels, cognitive performance of knock-out mice in some, but not all, tasks did not differ from controls. Moreover, acute normalization of KYNA levels in PND 21 KAT II knock-out FVB/N mice did not attenuate the increase in glutamate levels or the improvement in performance on the passive avoidance task. In the rat hippocampus, a bi-directional control of glutamate by KYNA was revealed, with increases in KYNA levels reducing and decreases in KYNA levels raising extracellular glutamate levels. These drug-induced acute changes were subsequently used to evaluate the role of fluctuating KYNA levels in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory tasks. Decreased KYNA levels caused cognitive improvements in Morris water maze performance but not in passive avoidance or object recognition learning. Acutely elevated KYNA levels did not influence performance in the passive avoidance task. Overall, these results indicate that KYNA plays a role in aspects of hippocampal-dependent learning and memory, and this effect appears to be mediated by the glutamatergic system.

description: Over the past decades, the advancement in laser technology and infrared spectroscopy has made laser-based spectroscopy (LAS) quickly gain more and more popularity in a range of fields: medical diagnosis, environmental and industrial monitoring, homeland security, and many others. The research center of Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and Environment  (MIRTHE) has invited engineers and researchers from different areas including electrical engineering, biochemical engineering, computer science, ecology, and medical diagnosis to develop a safe, effective, high-speed, and low cost Mid-Infrared trace gas sensing system. As a participant in MIRTHE, we emphasize the performance analysis and improvement of the integrated sensing system.  The MID-IR gas sensing system is characterized to develop a statistical detection performance analysis model for performance evaluation and improvement analysis. We obtain the probability density functions (pdf), f(X|H0< b>1<  sensing system to statistically describe the gas-not-present and gas-present scenarios, respectively, for a single spectral peak. The Neyman-Pearson decision rule is then obtained to compute the probability of detection, Pd< ability of  false alarm, Pfa<  we define a signal strength measure,  delta-SNR, that is shown to depend on the absorbance and other system variables,  ?, ?, ?2< erived from the integrated sensing system.

description: Fully-relativistic first-principles calculations of the Fe(001) surface demonstrate that resonant surface (interface) states may produce sizeable tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance in magnetic tunnel junctions with a single magnetic electrode. The effect is driven by the spin-orbit coupling. It shifts the resonant surface band via the Rashba effect when the magnetization direction changes. We find that spin-flip scattering at the interface is controlled not only by the strength of the spin-orbit coupling, but depends strongly on the intrinsic width of the resonant surface states.

description: Wireless networks can be roughly divided into two groups based on their communication structure: infrastructure, and ad hoc.  An infrastructure network is one where the communication hierarchy dictates communications between any two nodes must go through a central node, most commonly referred to as an access point.  Ad hoc networks allow nodes to communicate with each other directly without a centralized access point.  A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of self-organizing nodes, each capable of routing network traffic and having the ability to be mobile.  A MANET has no central authority nor fixed network infrastructure, and the dynamic nature and openness of MANETs lead to potential vulnerabilities.  Since there is no guarantee of connection to the wired Internet, accepted security practices involving third party authentication servers becomes an unrealistic expectation.  Even with authentication, there is the potential for abuse.  Malicious nodes can deliberately cause denial of service (DoS) or disruption in service in ad hoc networks and remain undetected unless some mechanism is in place to detect and react to these nodes. Widespread MANET use, or particular providers may suffer the consequences of malicious node activity. Our research has focused on ``being the eyes and ears of trust evaluation.  An effective approach to establishing robust security in MANETs is with the fundamental evaluation of network activity at multiple network stack layers.  We have built an extensive simulation to investigate the viability of detecting malicious and faulty node behavior in MANETs.  We first show detection capability at the network layer and introduce two techniques for reacting to malicious behavior.  We then demonstrate detection using information from multiple layers of the OSI stack.  Finally, we tie everything together by combining the detection techniques with a field communications scenario.

description: Data- driven analysis methods such as independent component analysis ( ICA) and blind source  separation ( BSS) have been applied to the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging  ( fMRI) data and produced useful results. In contrast to classical methods based on the general  linear model, ICA and BSS methods do not require pre- specified hemodynamic response predictors  and can reveal a broader range of spatial and temporal features in the fMRI data.  On the other hand, the generation of fMRI data involves a series of physical and computational  processes, each of which contributes to the statistical properties of the fMRI data. Therefore, a basic  application of the ICA/ BSS methods to the fMRI data might not produce the optimal estimation  results if the properties of fMRI data are not considered. Most of the characteristics of fMRI data  can be measured efficiently by second- order statistics in the spatial, temporal, and multi- subject  group domains.  In this dissertation, we propose schemes to characterize spatial, temporal, and group features  of fMRI data by second- order statistics and incorporate these statistics into the estimation of brain  activations from fMRI experiments. We introduce ( i) a scheme based on fMRI spatial autocorrela-tion  to remove the sample dependence in the spatial or temporal domain and improve ICA model  order selection for fMRI dataset; ( ii) a least- squares projection scheme for iterative- type ICA algo-rithms,  for enhancing the predicted sample space features of brain source estimates; and ( iii) a joint  BSS scheme based on multi- set canonical correlation analysis ( M- CCA) to analyze group fMRI  data, which complements existing group fMRI analysis methods. The three schemes, each from  a different perspective, incorporate second- order statistics that describe fMRI characteristics into  brain source separation, so that the analysis performance is significantly improved.  Thus, we show that second- order statistics are direct and efficient statistical measures for char-acterizing  fMRI data and can be incorporated within an exploratory fMRI data analysis framework  to improve our understanding of brain function.

description: Broadband multi-wavelength lasers and broadband gain materials have widespread applications in communications, spectroscopy, metrology, optical data processing and storage. In general, Non-identical Multi-Quantum Well (MQW) designs and complicated and bulky external cavities are used to achieve simultaneous multi-wavelength lasing. The existing designs are all based on vertical current injection (VCI) structure, which causes severe non-flat gain profiles and inferior quantum efficiencies due to the non-uniform carrier distribution among the tapered wells. These characteristics greatly restricted the devices' performance and applications.; This work focused on innovative device structures and designs to achieve multi-wavelength lasers and broadband gain materials. Two different designs were studied to resolve the foregoing problems. One is to use bipolar cascade laser (BCL) structure to achieve a compact InP based dual-wavelength laser. Simultaneous dual wavelength (1350nm and 1450nm) output at room temperature using pulsed excitation is achieved by epitaxially connecting two different active regions with a low area specific resistance (~10^-4?cm^2) InAlAs/InP hetero tunnel junction (TJ). This is the first InP based multi-wavelength BCL to the best of my knowledge. By cascading more active regions, ultra-broadband gain materials may be achieved. In another design, lateral current injection (LCI) concept is adopted to circumvent the MQW carrier density distribution non-uniformity issues associated with VCI lasers to achieve a flat broadband gain. A novel LCI broadband gain device was proposed and developed also for the first time. The design considerations were studied and a simple fabrication process was used to get a flat gain covering 1300nm~1550nm spectrum.; MOCVD was used for all epitaxial growths in this work. Several MOCVD growth techniques, which are seldom studied or only sporadically reported in the literature, were studied to achieve the unique device designs, improve performance and simplify the develop process. MOCVD carbon doping in In0.52Al0.48As, In0.52Al0.2Ga0.28As and In0.53Ga0.47As was studied. C-doped In0.52Al0.48As with very high hole concentration (~6x10^19cm^-3) has been achieved and applied in a high performance In0.52Al0.48As/InP hetero TJ for multi-wavelength BCL application. The mechanism and methodology of MOCVD post-growth Zn diffusion in InP were investigated. Buried hetero-structure laser MOCVD regrowth process was also studied, and applied in bipolar cascade laser fabrication.

description: In this paper we study a new symmetry argument that results in a vacuum state with strictly vanishing vacuum energy. This argument exploits the well-known feature that de Sitter and Anti- de Sitter space are related by analytic continuation. When we drop boundary and hermiticity conditions on quantum fields, we get as many negative as positive energy states, which are related by transformations to complex space. The paper does not directly solve the cosmological constant problem, but explores a new direction that appears worthwhile.

description: In this work we address Li-ion diffusion in thio-LISICON materials and in their oxide counterparts, exploring both the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases of Li10GeP2S12(LGPS) and Li10GeP2O12(LGPO) through extended Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics in the canonical and isobaric-isothermal ensemble. The (quasi-)orthorhombic and tetragonal phases are studied both for the oxide and for the sulfide, with the aim of comparing their conductivity with the same approach; out of these four case studies, tetragonal LGPO has not been reported and, while dynamically stable, it sits (0.04 Ha/formula unit) above orthorhombic LGPO. We calculate activation energies for diffusion of 0.18 eV and 0.23 eV for tetragonal and orthorhombic LGPS, and of 0.22 eV and 0.34eV for tetragonal and orthorhombic LGPO. In line with experiments, we find orthorhombic LGPO orders of magnitude less conductive, at room temperature, than the two sulfide systems. However, this is not the case for tetragonal LGPO, which, although less stable than its orthorhombic allotrope, shows at room temperature a conductivity comparable to orthorhombic and tetragonal LGPS, and, if synthesized, could make a very attractive Li-ion conductor.

Various cross sections measured as a function of the kinematic variables Q^2, W and t are well described, with little sensitivity to the details of the vector meson wave functions. We determine the properties of the gluon density in the proton in both longitudinal and transverse dimensions, including the impact parameter dependent saturation scale. The overall success of the description indicates universality of the emerging gluon distribution and proton shape.

Design, intentions, and implementation of diversity programs
Creators: name: Acton, Rita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This is a study of some of the challenges and opportunities of workplace diversity programs as they are experienced by consultants working in the lower mainland region of British Columbia. This study reinforces that the context severely limits what may be achieved, and therefore diversity programs are seen as a beginning process. Working towards change does not end when the workshop is over. Change is an ongoing process which, in workplace contexts, needs to be supported by the entire organization inclusive of senior management, front line workers and support staff. Qualitative, in-depth interviews were conducted with a group of consultants to determine program design, intentions, and influences facilitating or hindering implementation of these programs. The programs are delivered in a variety of workplace contexts such as educational institutions, non-profit organizations, municipalities, school boards, hospitals, telecommunications, financial and insurance industries. The data reveals that these programs, whether of two hours, two days or two weeks duration, offer a place for introspection and reflection necessary for gaining greater self-awareness. These programs deal with highly emotional, value-laden issues; therefore, the overall goals of diversity programs cannot be reached unless there are policies implemented which support the goals and objectives of the programs. The study's findings challenge conventional models of designing, facilitating, evaluating, and implementing programs in that the planning process is done not only with the intellect, but also with the heart.

description: Intricate immune regulation is required at mucosal surfaces to allow tolerance to microbiota and harmless allergens and to prevent overexuberant inflammatory responses to pathogens. The cytokine Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a key mediator of mucosal immune regulation. While IL-10 can be produced by virtually all cells of the immune system, many of its in vivo functions depend upon its production by regulatory or effector T cell populations and its signalling to macrophages, dendritic cells and specific T cell subsets. In this review, we discuss our current understanding of the role of IL-10 in regulation of immune responses, with a focus on its context-specific roles in intestinal homeostasis, respiratory infection and asthma. We highlight the importance of appropriate production and function of IL-10 for balancing pathogen clearance, control of microbiota and host tissue damage, and that precise modulation of IL-10 functions in vivo could present therapeutic opportunities.

description: An offensive alliance in a graph $Γ=(V,E)$ is a set of vertices $S\subset V$ where for every vertex $v$ in its boundary it holds that the majority of vertices in $v$'s closed neighborhood are in $S$. In the case of strong offensive alliance, strict majority is required. An alliance $S$ is called global if it affects every vertex in $V\backslash S$, that is, $S$ is a dominating set of $Γ$. The offensive alliance number $a_o(Γ)$ (respectively, strong offensive alliance number $a_{\hat{o}}(Γ)$) is the minimum cardinality of an offensive (respectively, strong offensive) alliance in $Γ$. The global offensive alliance number $γ_o(Γ)$ and the global strong offensive alliance number $γ_{\hat{o}}(Γ)$ are defined similarly. Clearly, $a_o(Γ)\le γ_o(Γ)$ and $a_{\hat{o}}(Γ)\le γ_{\hat{o}}(Γ)$. It was shown in [Discuss. Math. Graph Theory, 24 (2004), no. 2, 263-275] that $ a_o(Γ)\le \frac{2n}{3}$ and $ a_{\hat{o}}(Γ)\le \frac{5n}{6}$, where $n$ denotes the order of $Γ$. In this paper we obtain several tight bounds on $γ_o(Γ)$ and $γ_{\hat{o}}(Γ)$ in terms of several parameters of $Γ$. For instance, we show that $\frac{2m+n}{3Δ+1} \le γ_o(Γ)\le \frac{2n}{3}$ and $\frac{2(m+n)}{3Δ+2} \leγ_{\hat{o}}(Γ)\le \frac{5n}{6}$, where $m$ denotes the size of $Γ$ and $Δ$ its maximum degree (the last upper bound holds true for all $Γ$ with minimum degree greatest or equal to two).

description: Context: On 26-27 January 2020, the wide-field imager WISPR on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed a coronal mass ejection (CME) from a distance of approximately 30 solar radii as it passed through the instrument's 95 degree field-of-view, providing an unprecedented view of the flux rope morphology of the CME's internal structure. The same CME was seen by STEREO, beginning on 25 January. Aims: Our goal was to understand the origin and determine the trajectory of this CME. Methods: We analyzed data from three well-placed spacecraft: Parker Solar Probe (PSP), Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-Ahead (STEREO-A), and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The CME trajectory was determined using the method described in Liewer et al. (2020) and verified using simultaneous images of the CME propagation from STEREO-A. The fortuitous alignment with STEREO-A also provided views of coronal activity leading up to the eruption. Observations from SDO, in conjunction with potential magnetic field models of the corona, were used to analyze the coronal magnetic evolution for the three days leading up to the flux rope ejection from the corona on 25 January. Results: We found that the 25 January CME is likely the end result of a slow magnetic flux rope eruption that began on 23 January and was observed by STEREO-A/Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI). Analysis of these observations suggest that the flux rope was apparently constrained in the corona for more than a day before its final ejection on 25 January. STEREO-A/COR2 observations of swelling and brightening of the overlying streamer for several hours prior to eruption on January 25 led us to classify this as a streamer-blowout CME. The analysis of the SDO data suggests that restructuring of the coronal magnetic fields caused by an emerging active region led to the final ejection of the flux rope.

description: The understanding of acceleration mechanisms in active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets and the measurement of the extragalactic-background-light (EBL) density are closely linked and require the detection of a large sample of very-high-energy (VHE) emitting extragalactic objects at varying redshifts. We report here on the discovery with the H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes of the VHE Gamma-ray emission from H2356 - 309, an extreme BL Lac object located at a redshift of 0.165. The observations of this object, which was previously proposed as a southern-hemisphere VHE candidate source, were performed between June and December 2004. The total exposure is 38.9 hours live time, after data quality selection, which yields the detection of a signal at the level of 9.0$σ$ (standard deviations) .

description: Undulator radiation from synchrotron light sources must be transported down a beamline from the source to the sample. A partially coherent photon beam may be represented in phase space using a Wigner function, and its transport may use some similar techniques as is familiar in particle beam transport. We describe this process in the case that the beamline is composed of linear focusing and defocusing sections as well as apertures. We present a compact representation of the beamline map involving linear transformations and convolutions. We create a 1:1 imaging system (4f system) with a single slit on the image plane and observe the radiation downstream to it. We propagate a Gaussian beam and undulator radiation down this sample beamline, drawing parameters from current and future ultra low emittance light sources. We derive an analytic expression for the partially coherent Gaussian case including passage through a single slit aperture. We benchmark the Wigner function calculation against the analytical expression and a partially coherent calculation in the Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) code.

description: The aloe vera based natural coatings can improve the quality and lengthen the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. In this
study, the effect of mixtures of Aloe vera gel, pectin and olive oil on the improvement of quality and shelf life extension of
six different cultivars of mango (Gopalbhog, Ranipochand, Khirsapat, Langra, Fazli and Aswina) have investigated. The
coating of fruits (coating treated fruit) was found significantly delay the ripening process and softening of the fruit. The
shelf life of coated fruits increased to 4 to 6 days compared to that of uncoated fruits. Average weight loss was 5-7% less
in coated fruits compared to uncoated ones. The coated fruits showed less gene expression than uncoated one. All the
above information of different mango cultivars showed variation in quality parameters.

description: Recently, the BES collaboration observed a broad resonant structure X(1576) with a large width being around 800 MeV and assigned its $J^{PC}$ number to $1^{--}$. We show that the isospin of this resonant structure should be assigned to 1. This state might be a molecule state or a tetraquark state. We study the consequences of a possible $K^*(892)$-${\bar κ}$ molecular interpretation. In this scenario, the broad width can easily be understood. By using the data of $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to K^+K^-)$, the branching ratios $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to π^+π^-)$ and $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to K^+K^-π^+π^-)$ are further estimated in this molecular state scenario. It is shown that the $X\to π^+π^-$ decay mode should have a much larger branching ratio than the $X\to K^+K^-$ decay mode has. As a consequence, this resonant structure should also be seen in the $J/ψ\to π^+π^-π^0$ and $J/ψ\to K^+K^-π^+π^-π^0$ processes, especially in the former process. Carefully searching this resonant structure in the $J/ψ\to π^+π^-π^0$ and $J/ψ\to K^+K^-π^+π^-π^0$ decays should be important for understanding the structure of X(1567).

description: Trading data as a commodity has become increasingly popular in recent years, and data marketplaces
have emerged as a new business model where data from a variety of sources can be
collected, processed, enriched, bought, and sold. They are effectively changing the way data
is distributed and managed on the Internet. To get a better understanding of the emergence of
data marketplaces, we have conducted several surveys in recent years in order to systematically
gather and evaluate their characteristics. This paper takes a broader perspective and relates data
marketplaces to the neoclassical notions of market and marketplace from economics. We provide
a typology of electronic marketplaces, and discuss their approaches to a distribution of data. Lastly,
we provide a distinct definition of data marketplaces in order to integrate these new businesses
into existing research frameworks, leading to a classification framework that can help structuring
this emerging field.

Effect of grain shape on the agglomeration of polycrystalline thin films

description: Grain-boundary grooving is a general phenomenon occurring in all polycrystalline materials at the intersection between the grain-boundary and the interface or free surface. It has been studied theoretically for some time. Grain-boundary grooving in the context of faceted interfaces in particular has attracted some attention. However, these works did not consider the case of thin films and the consequences on agglomeration of the shape of the interface. In this Letter, we compare the agglomeration of thin films with rounded and faceted interfaces. The shape of the grains can dramatically affect the agglomeration of polycrystalline thin films by grain-boundary grooving. Anisotropy plays a central role in the stability against agglomeration of faceted films. Even a small difference between the interface energies of the facets can destabilize faceted grains or, on the contrary, it can make them perfectly stable at any thickness. keywords: grain-boundary grooving, dihedral angle, faceting, energy, silicide, theory, model.

description: In main sequence stars the periods of high-order gravity modes are sensitive probes of stellar cores and, in particular, of the chemical composition gradient that develops near the outer edge of the convective core. We present an analytical approximation of high-order g modes that takes into account the effect of the mu gradient near the core. We show that in main-sequence models, similarly to the case of white dwarfs, the periods of high-order gravity modes are accurately described by a uniform period spacing superposed to an oscillatory component. The periodicity and amplitude of such component are related, respectively, to the location and sharpness of the mu gradient. We investigate the properties of high-order gravity modes for stellar models in a mass domain between 1 and 10 Msun, and the effects of the stellar mass, evolutionary state, and extra-mixing processes on period spacing features. In particular, we show that for models of a typical SPB star, a chemical mixing that could likely be induced by the slow rotation observed in these stars, is able to significantly change the g-mode spectra of the equilibrium model. Prospects and challenges for the asteroseismology of gamma Doradus and SPB stars are also discussed.

description: From May to July 2004, the central radian of the Galactic Plane was scanned by the H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) telescopes at energies above 200 GeV. This survey was performed from -$3^o$ to +$3^o$ in latitude, for a total of 230 hours, revealing eight new VHE sources at a significance level greater than 6$σ$(standard deviations). We present a multi-resolution analysis of these sources based on a continuous wavelet transformation (CWT). Using CO and HI data, we investigate the possible associations of the potential counterparts proposed in [1], with sites of enhanced interstellar matter density.
