description: The influence of giant dipole resonance (GDR) induced quadrupole moment on GDR width at low temperatures is investigated experimentally by measuring GDR width systematically in the unexplored temperature range $T$=0.8-1.5 MeV, for the first time, in $A$ $\sim$ 100 mass region. The measured GDR widths, using alpha induced fusion reaction, for $^{97}$Tc confirm that the GDR width remains constant at the ground state value up to a critical temperature and increases sharply thereafter with increase in $T$. The data have been compared with the adiabatic Thermal Shape Fluctuation Model (TSFM), phenomenological Critical Temperature Fluctuation Model (CTFM) and microscopic Phonon Damping Model (PDM). Interestingly, CTFM and PDM give similar results and agree with the data, whereas the TSFM differs significantly even after incorporating the shell effects.

description: Over the last decades, physical inactivity has become one of the leading health risk factors in modern societies. To incentivize people to be more physically active, gamified health behavior change support systems (HBCSSs) are a promising approach. These systems often make use of gamification to keep their users engaged over a sustained period of time. However, despite its popularity, gamification often fails due to insufficient designs, which neglect users’ needs. Building on extant research that investigated users’ preferences in other gamification contexts, we conduct a survey among 447 potential users of HBCSSs for physical activity, using a best-worst-scaling approach. Our results indicate that users generally prefer the game design elements progress, goals, points, and levels, which is partially different from past research on preferred game design elements in other contexts. Thus, our research contributes to the understanding of contextual differences in users’ gamification preferences.

description: The second-order magneto-optical effects, represented by Voigt and Schäfer-Hubert effects, are effective methods to detect the spin textures in antiferromagnets, whereas the previous studies are usually limited to collinear antiferromagnets. In noncollinear antiferromagnets, the spin textures characterized by spin chirality have been revealed to play a critical role in many exciting physics. In particular, the first-order topological magneto-optical effects originated from scalar spin chirality have been discovered recently. In this work, using the first-principles calculations and group theory analysis, we generalize the first-order topological magneto-optical effects to the second-order cases, that is, topological Voigt and Schäfer-Hubert effects, by taking the noncoplanar 3Q spin state of $γ$-Fe$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ alloy as an example. The conventional Voigt and Schäfer-Hubert effects are comparatively studied in the collinear 1Q and 2Q spin states of $γ$-Fe$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ alloy. In addition, the natural linear birefringence due to crystal anisotropy is discussed in the strained 1Q, 2Q, and 3Q states, and a unique fingerprint for experimentally distinguishing the second-order topological magneto-optical effects and natural linear birefringence is identified. Our work brings a topological insight into the second-order magneto-optical effects in noncoplanar antiferromagnets and also provides $γ$-Fe$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ as an attractive material platform for future experimental exploration.

How To Do Things with Thick Terms: The Moral Significance of Thick Moral Language
Creators: name: Pesci, Francesco
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Among moral philosophers in the analytic tradition it has become customary to draw a distinction between thin and thick terms (or concepts). Paradigmatic instances of the former are words like ‘good,’ ‘bad,’ ‘right,’ ‘ought,’ ‘permissible,’ while the latter are exemplified by terms such as ‘cruel,’ ‘courageous,’ ‘kind,’ ‘treacherous,’ ‘generous’ or ‘dishonorable’. During the 1950s some philosophers variously influenced by Wittgenstein started to draw attention to the latter with the intuition that there was something special about them that was important to take into account for a fully satisfying explanation of moral language and thought. In the last decade or so there has been a lively, technically sophisticated debate about thick terms, centered on the question of whether they are separable into a nonevaluative and a thinly evaluative component or not. In my dissertation I argue that both sides of the current debate are governed by an assumption I call representationalism and define as the idea that i) the aim of moral language use is to “get it right” about a moral situation and that ii) a philosophical theory can help justify use of that language by laying out its correctness-conditions. I suggest that representationalism distorts the ways in which we actually use thick terms and is an unreliable account of their meaning. I hence develop an “ordinary language philosophy” conception of thick terms according to which use of thick terms is to be understood as the making of a moral move in a context of utterance rather than a mere attempt to get it right about what is morally the case. On this conception one can argue that there are things we do morally with thick terms which we cannot do otherwise, thereby showing why they are morally important.

description: Opinion formation is one of the most fascinating phenomena observed in human communities, and the ability to predict and to control the dynamics of this process is interesting from the theoretical as well as practical point of view. Although there are many sophisticated models of opinion formation, they often lack the connection with real life data, and there are still sociological processes that need to be explained. To address this, we propose a model describing the dynamics of opinion formation which mimics the process of the virus or disease spreading in the population. The introduced model is motivated by the model of disease spread with three possible channels - direct contact, indirect contact, and contact with "contaminated" elements. We demonstrate that the presence of "contaminated" elements, which in the case of on-line communities can be represented as the content published on the Internet, has considerable impact on the process of opinion formation. We argue that by using a simple mechanism of opinion spreading via passive elements, the introduced model captures the meaningful elements of opinion formation in complex communities. The presented work provides a step towards formulating universal laws governing social as well as physical or technical systems.

description: We study the temporal evolution of the habitable zone (HZ) of low-mass stars - only due to stellar evolution - and evaluate the related uncertainties. These uncertainties are then compared with those due to the adoption of different climate models. We computed stellar evolutionary tracks from the pre-main sequence phase to the helium flash at the red-giant branch tip for stars with masses in the range [0.70 - 1.10] Msun, metallicity Z in the range [0.005 - 0.04], and various initial helium contents. We evaluated several characteristics of the HZ, such as the distance from the host star at which the habitability is longest, the duration of this habitability, the width of the zone for which the habitability lasts one half of the maximum, and the boundaries of the continuously habitable zone (CHZ) for which the habitability lasts at least 4 Gyr. We developed analytical models, accurate to the percent level or lower, which allowed to obtain these characteristics in dependence on the mass and the chemical composition of the host star. The metallicity of the host star plays a relevant role in determining the HZ. The initial helium content accounts for a variation of the CHZ boundaries as large as 30% and 10% in the inner and outer border. The computed analytical models allow the first systematic study of the variability of the CHZ boundaries that is caused by the uncertainty in the estimated values of mass and metallicity of the host star. An uncertainty range of about 30% in the inner boundary and 15% in the outer one were found. We also verified that these uncertainties are larger than that due to relying on recently revised climatic models, which leads to a CHZ boundaries shift within 5% with respect to those of our reference scenario. We made an on-line tool available that provides both HZ characteristics and interpolated stellar tracks.

description: We use the GARCH model with a fat-tailed error distribution described by a rational function and apply it for the stock price data on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. To determine the model parameters we perform the Bayesian inference to the model. The Bayesian inference is implemented by the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with an adaptive multi-dimensional Student's t-proposal density. In order to compare the model with the GARCH model with the standard normal errors we calculate information criterions: AIC and DIC, and find that both criterions favor the GARCH model with a rational error distribution. We also calculate the accuracy of the volatility by using the realized volatility and find that a good accuracy is obtained for the GARCH model with a rational error distribution. Thus we conclude that the GARCH model with a rational error distribution is superior to the GARCH model with the normal errors and it can be used as an alternative GARCH model to those with other fat-tailed distributions.

description: We develop an analytically solvable model for interacting two-dimensional Fermi liquids with separate collisional relaxation rates for parity-odd and parity-even Fermi surface deformations. Such a disparity of collisional lifetimes exists whenever scattering is restricted to inversion-symmetric Fermi surfaces, and should thus be a generic feature of two-dimensional Fermi liquids. It implies an additional unanticipated "tomographic" transport regime (in between the standard collisionless and hydrodynamic regimes) in which even-parity modes are overdamped while odd-parity modes are collisionless. We derive expressions for both the longitudinal and the transverse conductivity and discuss the collective mode spectrum along the collisionless-tomographic-hydrodynamic crossover. Longitudinal modes cross over from zero sound in the collisionless regime to hydrodynamic first sound in the tomographic and hydrodynamic regime, where odd-parity damping appears as a subleading correction to the lifetime. In charged Fermi liquids with long-range Coulomb coupling, these modes reduce to plasmons with a strongly suppressed odd-parity correction to the damping. The transverse response, by contrast, has a specific tomographic transport regime with two imaginary odd-parity modes, one of which requires a finite repulsive interaction, distinct from both the shear sound in the collisionless regime and an overdamped diffusive current mode in the hydrodynamic limit. Our work demonstrates that there are deep many-body aspects of interacting Fermi liquids, which are often thought to be well understood theoretically, remaining unexplored.

description: Object-oriented programming in blockchain has been a catalyst for philosophical research on the way blocks and their nesting are perceived. While attempting a deeper investigation on the composition of blocks, as well as the environment that they are able to create, concepts like Jakob von Uexkull’s “Umwelt”[1] and Timothy Morton’s “Hyperobject”[2] can be synthesised into a new term; the “Hyperumwelt”. The Hyperumwelt is an object that is capable of creating its own environment. By upscaling this definition of the Hyperumwelt, this essay describes objects with unique and strong compositional characteristics that act as closed black boxes and are able to create large scale effects through their distribution. Hyperobjects are able to create their own Umwelt, however when they are nested and chained in big aggregations, the result is a new and unexpected environment: the Hyperumwelt.

description: The sum secure degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) of two fundamental multi-user network structures, the K-user Gaussian multiple access (MAC) wiretap channel and the K-user interference channel (IC) with secrecy constraints, have been determined recently as K(K-1)/(K(K-1)+1) [1,2] and K(K-1)/(2K-1) [3,4], respectively. In this paper, we determine the entire s.d.o.f. regions of these two channel models. The converse for the MAC follows from a middle step in the converse of [1,2]. The converse for the IC includes constraints both due to secrecy as well as due to interference. Although the portion of the region close to the optimum sum s.d.o.f. point is governed by the upper bounds due to secrecy constraints, the other portions of the region are governed by the upper bounds due to interference constraints. Different from the existing literature, in order to fully understand the characterization of the s.d.o.f. region of the IC, one has to study the 4-user case, i.e., the 2 or 3-user cases do not illustrate the generality of the problem. In order to prove the achievability, we use the polytope structure of the converse region. In both MAC and IC cases, we develop explicit schemes that achieve the extreme points of the polytope region given by the converse. Specifically, the extreme points of the MAC region are achieved by an m-user MAC wiretap channel with (K-m) helpers, i.e., by setting (K-m) users' secure rates to zero and utilizing them as pure (structured) cooperative jammers. The extreme points of the IC region are achieved by a (K-m)-user IC with confidential messages, m helpers, and N external eavesdroppers, for m>=1 and a finite N. A byproduct of our results in this paper is that the sum s.d.o.f. is achieved only at one extreme point of the s.d.o.f. region, which is the symmetric-rate extreme point, for both MAC and IC channel models.

description: Exposure to bio-aerosols such as mold spores and pollen can lead to adverse health effects. There is a need for a portable and cost-effective device for long-term monitoring and quantification of various bio-aerosols. To address this need, we present a mobile and cost-effective label-free bio-aerosol sensor that takes holographic images of flowing particulate matter concentrated by a virtual impactor, which selectively slows down and guides particles larger than ~6 microns to fly through an imaging window. The flowing particles are illuminated by a pulsed laser diode, casting their inline holograms on a CMOS image sensor in a lens-free mobile imaging device. The illumination contains three short pulses with a negligible shift of the flowing particle within one pulse, and triplicate holograms of the same particle are recorded at a single frame before it exits the imaging field-of-view, revealing different perspectives of each particle. The particles within the virtual impactor are localized through a differential detection scheme, and a deep neural network classifies the aerosol type in a label-free manner, based on the acquired holographic images. We demonstrated the success of this mobile bio-aerosol detector with a virtual impactor using different types of pollen (i.e., bermuda, elm, oak, pine, sycamore, and wheat) and achieved a blind classification accuracy of 92.91%. This mobile and cost-effective device weighs ~700 g and can be used for label-free sensing and quantification of various bio-aerosols over extended periods since it is based on a cartridge-free virtual impactor that does not capture or immobilize particulate matter.

description: We observed the core region of the giant radio galaxy GRS J0844+4627 with e-MERLIN at 1.52 and 5.07 GHz. These observations revealed that the apparent single feature at the centre of GRS J0844+4627, as seen by GMRT, consists of two components separated by 2.7 kpc in projection. Follow-up observations at 1.66 GHz using the EVN unveiled the complex morphologies of the two components. In particular, the south-western component identified with the SDSS J084408.85+462744.2 galaxy morphologically resembles a compact symmetric object (CSO) with a projected linear size of 115 pc. If the CSO hypothesis turns out to be correct, then the overall radio structure of GRS J0844+4627 is triple-double. Given that CSOs are considered young objects, GRS J0844+4627 would appear as a recently restarted active galaxy.

description: Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used to identify changes in biological systems to widen our knowledge of protein functions, signaling pathways, and disease mechanisms. The development of electrospray ionization (ESI) has allowed the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) with MS, enabling a robust analysis of biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, metabolites, antibodies, and nucleic acids. However, as biological systems are complex, LC-MS sample preparation workflows face multiple challenges. Examples include the extraction of membrane proteins and the detection of post-translational modifications. In this dissertation, LC-MS was used to i) identify new phosphosites on the protein TRPM7, ii) investigate the NPC1 interactome in mouse brain tissues, iii) analyze changes in proteins and signaling in a murine model of Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC), and iv) analyze the palmitoylation state of Gsα after antidepressant treatments. The knowledge provided by mass spectrometry can be further explored using microscopy and other biochemical techniques. From the studies, multiple novel phosphosites and probable interactors of NPC1 protein were identified in different brain regions. In addition, CaMKII and NR2B were suggested to play a role in the degeneration of neurons in NPC.

Attempts to understand the relationship between economics and epidemiology has lead to a new generation of integrated mathematical models. The data needs for these models transcend those of the individual fields, especially where human interaction patterns are closely linked with economic activity. In this article, we reflect upon modelling efforts to date, discussing the data needs that they have identified, both for understanding the consequences of the pandemic and policy responses to it through analysis of historic data and for the further development of this new and exciting interdisciplinary field.

description: Water in outflows from protostars originates either as a result of gas-phase synthesis from atomic oxygen at T > 200 K, or from sputtered ice mantles containing water ice. We aim to quantify the contribution of the two mechanisms that lead to water in outflows, by comparing observations of gas-phase water to methanol (a grain surface product) towards three low-mass protostars in NGC1333. In doing so, we also quantify the amount of methanol destroyed in outflows. To do this, we make use of JCMT and Herschel-HIFI data of H2O, CH3OH and CO emission lines and compare them to RADEX non-LTE excitation simulations. We find up to one order of magnitude decrease in the column density ratio of CH3OH over H2O as the velocity increases in the line wings up to ~15 km/s. An independent decrease in X(CH3OH) with respect to CO of up to one order of magnitude is also found in these objects. We conclude that gas-phase formation of H2O must be active at high velocities (above 10 km/s, relative to the source velocity) to re-form the water destroyed during sputtering. In addition, the transition from sputtered water at low velocities to formed water at high velocities must be gradual. We place an upper limit of two orders of magnitude on the destruction of methanol by sputtering effects.

description: Gamification is increasingly being recognized as a tool to support a change in individuals’ health behaviors. However, how and under which circumstances gamification is able to support health behavior change is still largely unexplored. This study follows the call for more theory-driven research on gamification by investigating the role of gamification in health behavior change theories (HBCTs). In order to do so, we conducted a systematic review of extant literature and identified 25 studies that explore the role of gamification in the process of health behavior change to some extent. We found large discrepancies in how the authors of these studies conceptualized the role of gamification in their theory-driven health interventions. To further strengthen theory-driven research on gamification in health and well-being, we additionally propose concrete research questions. These may guide future researchers to identify valuable avenues for further explaining and predicting the influences of gamification on health behavior change.
Determinants of Persistent Organic Pollutants Exposure in Hispanic/Latino Adults of Diverse Backgrounds

description: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) include several classes of toxic synthetic organic compounds with long half-lives. Despite bans and restrictions placed on POPs production and use, exposure in the general population is ongoing. The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of serum POPs concentrations among Hispanic adults. This study included 2,343 males and females aged 45-74 participating in the Hispanic Community Health Study/ Study of Latinos. Serum concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyl-153 (PBB-153), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), mirex, oxychlordane, and trans-nonachlor were measured. We investigated the cross-sectional association of serum POPs levels with demographic, acculturation, dietary, clinical, lifestyle, and reproductive factors separately for males and females. Serum POPs levels were found to vary by sex. In multivariable models, the associations between serum POPs levels and predictors differed between POPs groups and by sex. Age was positively associated with most POPs and all POPs levels were found to vary by Hispanic heritage. Measures of acculturation including the MESA acculturation score, and the SASH language and social subscales were significantly associated with several POPs in multivariable models. Other frequent predictors of POPs exposure included study recruitment center and among males BMI. Additional factors including diet, socio-economic status, smoking, and physical activity were largely not significant predictors of POPs levels in this population. Serum POPs levels in this study were correlated with time spent in the United States among foreign born Hispanic adults. PCBs, PBDEs, PBB-153, mirex, oxychlordane, and trans-nonachlor tended to be positively associated with time spent in the US while measures of DDT tended to be negatively associated with time spent in the US. Correlations between time in the US and HCB and β-HCH levels varied by Hispanic background. This study identified several predictors of serum POPs levels among Hispanic adults including age, place of residence, Hispanic background, and measures of acculturation that had not been previously studied. These results suggest that immigration history and acculturation may play an important role in POPs exposure among Hispanics living in the US.

DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements show two magnetic anomalies at TC1 ~ 270 K and TC2 ~ 240 K, which may indicate the ferromagnetic ordering of the monoclinic and rhombohedral phases, respectively. A broad peak at a lower temperature (Tsg ~ 70 K) is also observed indicating a spin-glass transition due to partial anti-site disorder of Ni2+ and Mn4+ ions. Unlike the pure monoclinic phase, the biphasic compound exhibits a broad but a clear dielectric anomaly around 270 K which is a signature of magneto-dielectric effect. Temperature-dependent Raman studies between the temperature range 12 K to 300 K in a wide spectral range from 220 cm-1 to 1530 cm-1 reveal a strong renormalization of the first as well as second-order Raman modes associated with the (Ni/Mn)O6 octahedra near TC1 implying a strong spin-phonon coupling. In addition, an anomaly is seen in the vicinity of spin-glass transition temperature in the temperature dependence of the frequency of the anti-symmetric stretching vibration of the octahedra.

description: The classification of internet traffic has become increasingly important due to the rapid growth of today's networks and applications. The number of connections and the addition of new applications in our networks causes a vast amount of log data and complicates the search for common patterns by experts. Finding such patterns among specific classes of applications is necessary to fulfill various requirements in network analytics. Deep learning methods provide both feature extraction and classification from data in a single system. However, these networks are very complex and are used as black-box models, which weakens the experts' trust in the classifications. Moreover, by using them as a black-box, new knowledge cannot be obtained from the model predictions despite their excellent performance. Therefore, the explainability of the classifications is crucial. Besides increasing trust, the explanation can be used for model evaluation gaining new insights from the data and improving the model. In this paper, we present a visual interactive tool that combines the classification of network data with an explanation technique to form an interface between experts, algorithms, and data.

description: Conformance checking deals with collating modeled process behavior with observed process behavior recorded in event data. Alignments are a state-of-the-art technique to detect, localize, and quantify deviations in process executions, i.e., traces, compared to reference process models. Alignments, however, assume complete process executions covering the entire process from start to finish or prefixes of process executions. This paper defines infix/postfix alignments, proposes approaches to their computation, and evaluates them using real-life event data.

description: Speech is an extensively overlearned oromotor behaviour that becomes more automatised over the years due to the storage of their motor routines. To determine when this storage occurs in development, the EEG/ERP spatiotemporal dynamics underlying speech-motor planning were investigated in three groups: children, adolescents and adults. The production of speech was contrasted to sounded non-speech gestures that use the same effectors as speech but are not as frequently trained. Non-speech motor codes are assumed to be individually planned on the go, instead of being stored as motor routines. Neural results revealed a gradual differentiation between speech and non-speech motor planning with age: while ERPs did not differ in children, adolescents and adults showed gradually increasing differences in amplitudes and in topographies between speech and non-speech. This suggest that the speech motor code storage is not completely established yet in 7–9-year-old children but later during development, in early adolescence.

description: In this paper we explore the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a predator-prey model, where the prey population is structured according to a certain life history trait. The trait distribution within the prey population is the result of interplay between genetic inheritance and mutation, as well as selectivity in the consumption of prey by the predator. The evolutionary processes are considered to take place on the same time scale as ecological dynamics, i.e. we consider the evolution to be rapid. Previously published results show that population structuring and rapid evolution in such predator-prey system can stabilise an otherwise globally unstable dynamics even with an unlimited carrying capacity of prey. However, those findings were only based on direct numerical simulation of equations and obtained for particular parametrisations of model functions, which obviously calls into question the correctness and generality of the previous results. The main objective of the current study is to treat the model analytically and consider various parametrisations of predator selectivity and inheritance kernel. We investigate the existence of a coexistence stationary state in the model and carry out stability analysis of this state. We derive expressions for the Hopf bifurcation curve which can be used for constructing bifurcation diagrams in the parameter space without the need for a direct numerical simulation of the underlying integro-differential equations. We analytically show the possibility of stabilisation of a globally unstable predator-prey system with prey structuring. We prove that the coexistence stationary state is stable when the saturation in the predation term is low. Finally, for a class of kernels describing genetic inheritance and mutation we show that stability of the predator-prey interaction will require a selectivity of predation according to the life trait.

description: This study investigated morphological decomposition of Tagalog infixed, prefixed, and suffixed words using the masked priming paradigm. We directly compared morphological priming of infixed, ni- prefixed and -in suffixed words to examine whether infixes are processed similarly to other affixes during early and automatic decomposition. We found significant priming effects for infixed, prefixed, and suffixed words, but no semantic or orthographic similarity priming. Magnitudes of priming effects for infixed and prefixed words were not significantly different, suggesting that decomposition of infixed words was not more costly for Tagalog speakers, contrary to phonological readjustment-based accounts of infixation. This is the first psycholinguistic experiment showing that infixed words are decomposed into morphological units during visual word recognition. We provide evidence that the imperfect edge-alignment of the stem within infixed words does not hamper the early morphological decomposition mechanisms, suggesting that edge-alignment might not be critical to trigger activation of morphological units.

description: We study the case where quantum computing could improve jet clustering by considering two new quantum algorithms that might speed up classical jet clustering algorithms. The first one is a quantum subroutine to compute a Minkowski-based distance between two data points, while the second one consists of a quantum circuit to track the rough maximum into a list of unsorted data. When one or both algorithms are implemented in classical versions of well-known clustering algorithms (K-means, Affinity Propagation and $k_T$-jet) we obtain efficiencies comparable to those of their classical counterparts. Furthermore, in the first two algorithms, an exponential speed up in dimensionality and data length can be achieved when applying the distance or the maximum search algorithm. In the $k_T$ algorithm, a quantum version of the same order as FastJet is achieved.

description: Laminated composite materials are used extensively in wind turbine blades due to their high mechanical performances and good fatigue resistance compared to metals. However, the occurring damage mechanisms are more complex in composite materials due to anisotropy, heterogeneity and defects (due to their nature but also due to the manufacturing process). In order to be able to design safe structures made of composite materials, understanding and predicting the occurrence of damage events and their interplay is essential. This work focusses on the interaction between damage mechanisms occurring at the intra- and inter-laminar regions of the laminate under both static and fatigue loading. A dedicated formulation is developed in order to initiate delamination (inter-laminar damage) from matrix cracking (intra-laminar damage) in the numerical framework implemented in the Simcenter Samcef solver. To this end, the inter- and intra-laminar damage models presented in tasks 5.1 and 5.2 are coupled and synchronized in terms of fatigue cycles. The unified numerical tool is employed to exemplify the predicted mechanical behaviour in an open hole specimen. The results show that the interfacial stiffness is reduced to zero at the regions with high intra-laminar damage, thus modelling a delamination caused by the coalescence of micro-delaminations arising at the crack tips of transverse matrix cracks.
