description: Microscopy and diffraction measurements are presented of ultrathin binary alloy films of ruthenium and molybdenum that are obtained by standard sputter deposition. For compositions close to Ru50Mo50, we find the films to be amorphous. The amorphicity of the films is accompanied by a significant reduction of the roughness with respect to the roughness of equally thick films of either ruthenium or molybdenum. We ascribe this to the absence of the grain structure that is characteristic of the polycrystalline films of the separate elements.

description: We complete the analysis of all 2018 prime-field microlensing planets identified by the KMTNet AnomalyFinder. Among the 10 previously unpublished events with clear planetary solutions, 8 are either unambiguously planetary or are very likely to be planetary in nature: OGLE-2018-BLG-1126, KMT-2018-BLG-2004, OGLE-2018-BLG-1647, OGLE-2018-BLG-1367, OGLE-2018-BLG-1544, OGLE-2018-BLG-0932, OGLE-2018-BLG-1212, and KMT-2018-BLG-2718. Combined with the 4 previously published new AnomalyFinder events and 12 previously published (or in preparation) planets that were discovered by eye, thismakes a total of 24 2018 prime-field planets discovered or recovered by AnomalyFinder. Together with a paper in preparation on 2018 sub-prime planets, this work lays the basis for the first statistical analysis of the planet mass-ratio function based on planets identified in KMTNet data. By systematically applying the heuristic analysis of Hwang et al. (2022) to each event, we identify the small modification in their formalism that is needed to unify the so-called close/wide and inner/outer degeneracies, as conjectured by

Deliverable 2.2: RESULTS OF THE SOCIAL4FOOD TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Creators: name: D'Andrea, Alessia

Year: 2022

description: The main purpose of this deliverable is to provide a comprehensive description of the results
 of the SOCIAL4FOOD training activities (Green social laboratories, SOCIAL4FOOD
 competition, co-design of the social farm) that were organized in Arsoli (RM). Specifically, the
 green social laboratories took place on August 18, 2022, and September 24, 2002, the
 SOCIAL4FOOD competition on September 4, 2022, and the first and second events of the codesign
 of the social farm on July 29, 2002, and September 24, 2002. These events constitute
 the second phase of the co-creation methodology based on the design thinking approach.
 Five different target groups of participants including local teenagers, local children aged 8-12
 years, elders, local farmers, and citizens, were involved in an attempt to transfer the
 knowledge on how to grow and cook the “fagiolina arsolana” from elders to the young
 generation. The SOCIAL4FOOD training activities contribute in:
 - handing down the experience and skill needed to grow and traditionally cook this local product from local elders to teenagers by stimulating the development of their talents;
 - strengthening the sense of belonging to the community by organizing a local competition aimed to test the cooking skills of citizens in preparing a creative recipe of the "fagiolina";
 - promoting health by offering areas for physical activities, stress relief, social interaction, and inclusion (mainly disadvantaged people).

description: The suppression of friction between sliding objects, modulated or enhanced by mechanical vibrations, is well established. However, the precise conditions of occurrence of these phenomena is not well understood. Here we address these questions focusing on a simple spring--block model, which is relevant to investigate friction both at the atomistic as well as the macroscopic scale. This allows to investigate the influence on friction of the properties of the external drive, of the geometry of the surfaces over which the block moves, and of the confining force. Via numerical simulations and a theoretical study of the equations of motion we identify the conditions under which friction is suppressed and/or recovered, and evidence the critical role played by surface modulations and by the properties of the confining force.
Knowledge Questions from Knowledge Graphs

description: We address the novel problem of automatically generating quiz-style knowledge questions from a knowledge graph such as DBpedia. Questions of this kind have ample applications, for instance, to educate users about or to evaluate their knowledge in a specific domain. To solve the problem, we propose an end-to-end approach. The approach first selects a named entity from the knowledge graph as an answer. It then generates a structured triple-pattern query, which yields the answer as its sole result. If a multiple-choice question is desired, the approach selects alternative answer options. Finally, our approach uses a template-based method to verbalize the structured query and yield a natural language question. A key challenge is estimating how difficult the generated question is to human users. To do this, we make use of historical data from the Jeopardy! quiz show and a semantically annotated Web-scale document collection, engineer suitable features, and train a logistic regression classifier to predict question difficulty. Experiments demonstrate the viability of our overall approach.

description: These lecture notes provide an overview of the renormalization group (RG) as a successful framework to understand critical phenomena above the upper critical dimension $d_{\rm uc}$. After an introduction to the scaling picture of continuous phase transitions, we discuss the apparent failure of the Gaussian fixed point to capture scaling for Landau mean-field theory, which should hold in the thermodynamic limit above $d_{\rm uc}$. We recount how Fisher's dangerous-irrelevant-variable formalism applied to thermodynamic functions partially repairs the situation but at the expense of hyperscaling and finite-size scaling, both of which were, until recently, believed not to apply above $d_{\rm uc}$. We recall limitations of various attempts to match the RG with analytical and numerical results for Ising systems. We explain how the extension of dangerous irrelevancy to the correlation sector is key to marrying the above concepts into a comprehensive RG scaling picture that renders hyperscaling and finite-size scaling valid in all dimensions. We collect what we believe is the current status of the theory, including some new insights and results. This paper is in grateful memory of Michael Fisher who introduced many of the concepts discussed and who, half a century later, contributed to their advancement.

description: A method is presented to evaluate the particle-phonon coupling (PC) corrections to the single-particle energies (SPEs) in semi-magic nuclei. In such nuclei always there is a collective low-lying $2^+$ phonon, and a strong mixture of single-particle and particle-phonon states often occurs. As in magic nuclei, the so-called $g^2_L$ approximation, where $g_L$ is the vertex of the $L$-phonon creation, can be used for finding the PC correction $δΣ^{\rm PC}(\varepsilon)$ to the initial mass operator $Σ_0$. In addition to the usual pole diagram, the phonon "tadpole" diagram is also taken into account. In semi-magic nuclei, the perturbation theory in $δΣ^{\rm PC}(\varepsilon)$ with respect to $Σ_0$ is often invalid for finding the PC corrected SPEs. Instead, the Dyson equation with the mass operator $Σ(\varepsilon){=}Σ_0{+}δΣ^{\rm PC}(\varepsilon)$ is solved directly, without any use of the perturbation theory. Results for a chain of semi-magic Pb isotopes are presented.

Emergent strongly coupled ultraviolet fixed point in four dimensions with 8 Kähler-Dirac fermions

description: The existence of a strongly coupled ultraviolet fixed point in 4-dimensional lattice models as they cross into the conformal window has long been hypothesized. The SU(3) gauge system with 8 fundamental fermions is a good candidate to study this phenomenon as it is expected to be very close to the opening of the conformal window. I study the system using staggered lattice fermions in the chiral limit. My numerical simulations employ improved lattice actions that include heavy Pauli-Villars (PV) type bosons. This modification does not affect the infrared dynamics but greatly reduces the ultraviolet fluctuations, thus allowing the study of stronger renormalized couplings than previously possible. I consider two different PV actions and find that both show an apparent continuous phase transition in the 8-flavor system. I investigate the critical behavior using finite size scaling of the renormalized gradient flow coupling. The finite size scaling curve-collapse analysis predicts a first order phase transition consistent with discontinuity exponent $ν=1/4$ in the system without PV bosons. The scaling analysis with the PV boson actions is not consistent with a first order phase transition. The numerical data are well described by "walking scaling" corresponding to a renormalization group $β$ function that just touches zero, $β(g^2) \sim (g^2 - g^2_\star)^2$, though second order scaling cannot be excluded. Walking scaling could imply that the 8-flavor system is the opening of the conformal window, an exciting possibility that could be related to t'Hooft anomaly cancellation of the system.

description: Building on earlier work in the high energy and condensed matter communities, we present a web of dualities in $2+1$ dimensions that generalize the known particle/vortex duality. Some of the dualities relate theories of fermions to theories of bosons. Others relate different theories of fermions. For example, the long distance behavior of the $2+1$-dimensional analog of QED with a single Dirac fermion (a theory known as $U(1)_{1/2}$) is identified with the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher fixed point. The gauged version of that fixed point with a Chern-Simons coupling at level one is identified as a free Dirac fermion. The latter theory also has a dual version as a fermion interacting with some gauge fields. Assuming some of these dualities, other dualities can be derived. Our analysis resolves a number of confusing issues in the literature including how time reversal is realized in these theories. It also has many applications in condensed matter physics like the theory of topological insulators (and their gapped boundary states) and the problem of electrons in the lowest Landau level at half filling. (Our techniques also clarify some points in the fractional Hall effect and its description using flux attachment.) In addition to presenting several consistency checks, we also present plausible (but not rigorous) derivations of the dualities and relate them to $3+1$-dimensional $S$-duality.

description: Recent developments in attosecond spectroscopy yield access to the correlated motion of electrons on their intrinsic time scales. Spin-flip dynamics is usually considered in the context of valence electronic states, where spin-orbit coupling is weak and processes related to the electron spin are usually driven by nuclear motion. However, for core-excited states, where the core hole has a nonzero angular momentum, spin-orbit coupling is strong enough to drive spin-flips on a much shorter time scale. Using density matrix based time-dependent restricted active space configuration interaction including spin-orbit coupling, we address an unprecedentedly short spin-crossover for the example of L-edge (2p$\rightarrow$3d) excited states of a prototypical Fe(II) complex. This process occurs on a time scale, which is faster than that of Auger decay ($\sim$4\,fs) treated here explicitly. Modest variations of carrier frequency and pulse duration can lead to substantial changes in the spin-state yield, suggesting its control by soft X-ray light.

Our approach opens up new paths in x-ray quantum information.

description: Agamid lizards (agamids, also known as dragon lizards or dragons) belong to a species-rich squamate family found on all non-polar continents except the Americas. Agamids emerged approximately 70-120 million years ago and are recognised as an example of adaptive radiations that correlate with major biogeographic events. In the genomic era, agamids remain poorly studied compared to their lizard counterparts (in particular, Anolis lizards). This study is the first large-scale genomics project considering agamid ecology and evolution in China and Australia, two mega-biodiverse countries that have remained geographically isolated since the Cretaceous.

description: Lead-halide perovskites are promising materials for opto-electronic applications. Recent reports indicated that their mechanical and electronic properties are strongly affected by the lattice vibrations. Herein we report far-infrared spectroscopy measurements of CH$_{3}$NH$_{3}$Pb(I/Br/Cl)$_{3}$ thin films and single crystals at room temperature and a detailed quantitative analysis of the spectra. We find strong broadening and anharmonicity of the lattice vibrations for all three halide perovskites, which indicates dynamic disorder of the lead-halide cage at room temperature. We determine the frequencies of the transversal and longitudinal optical phonons, and use them to calculate, via appropriate models, the static dielectric constants, polaron masses, electron-phonon coupling constants, and upper limits for the phonon-scattering limited charge carrier mobilities. Within the limitations of the model used, we can place an upper limit of 200$\,$cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ for the room temperature charge carrier mobility in MAPbI$_{3}$ single crystals. Our findings are important for the basic understanding of charge transport processes and mechanical properties in metal halide perovskites.

description: Global hydrodynamic simulations of internal solar dynamics have focused on replicating the conditions for solar-like differential rotation and meridional circulation using the results of helioseismic inversions as a constraint. Inferences of meridional circulation, however, have provided controversial results showing the possibility of one, two, or multiple cells along the radius. To resolve this controversy and develop a more robust understanding of global flow regimes in the solar interior, we apply a "forward-modeling" approach to the analysis of helioseismic signatures of meridional circulation profiles obtained from numerical simulations. We employ the global acoustic modeling code GALE to simulate the propagation of acoustic waves through regimes of mean mass flows generated by global hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic models: EULAG, the Pencil Code, and the Rayleigh code. These models are used to create synthetic dopplergram data products, used as inputs for local time-distance helioseismology techniques. Helioseismic travel-time signals from solutions obtained through global numerical simulations are compared directly with inferences from solar observations, in order to set additional constraints on global model parameters in a direct way. We show that even though these models are able to replicate solar-like differential rotation, the resulting rotationally-constrained convection develops a multi-cell global meridional circulation profile that is measurably inconsistent with local time-distance inferences of solar observations. However, we find that the development of rotationally-unconstrained convection close to the model surface is able to maintain solar-like differential rotation, while having a significant impact on the helioseismic travel-time signal, replicating solar observations within one standard deviation of the error due to noise.

description: Excerpts from the report: Economic literature on the efficiency of large sized farms is in very short supply. Numerous empirical and analytical studies have been made but virtually none of these studies have been carried out to large farm sizes. Neither have previous studies considered pecuniary economies which exploratory research into the efficiency of large sized wheat farms has found to be of major economic consequence. The purpose of this preliminary study was to analyze the economies of large sized dryland wheat farms typical of the Northern Great Plains. The main objective of this preliminary study was to determine the approximate shape of the long-run cost curves in dryland wheat farming, taking into account four factors associated with large sized farming: (1) Technological efficiencies, (2) Pricing advantages, (3) Quantity discounts on input purchases, and (4) Internal diseconomies accounted for by costs not common to small unincorporated farms.

Violation of custodial symmetry from W-boson mass measurements

description: The new measurement of the $W$-boson mass from the CDF collaboration shows a significant tension with the Standard Model prediction. We quantify this discrepancy within a state-of-the-art analysis of electroweak precision data and scrutinize the leading deformations of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory arising at dimension six. We find evidence for a non-zero value of the $T$ parameter, i.e. for a novel source of violation of custodial symmetry, pointing to physics beyond the Standard Model at the 4.5$σ$ level. We contextualize the implications of our findings in light of other present anomalies in Particle Physics.

description: A comparative study of the structural, microstructural and magnetic properties of CrO$_2$ thin films grown onto (110) and (100) TiO$_2$ rutile single crystal substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using CrO$_3$ as chromium precursor and either oxygen or argon as carrier gas is presented. Our results show that growth under argon carrier gas leads to high quality CrO$_2$ epilayers with structural and magnetic properties similar to those obtained using the more standard oxygen carrier gas. Furthermore, we interpret the larger magnetic coercivity observed for the (110) oriented films in terms of their microstructure, in particular of the highest strain and edge roughness of the building structures of the CrO$_2$ epilayers, which are settled by the substrate crystallographic orientation.

M Dwarf flares can impact the habitability of exoplanets

Exoplanet habitability

description: About 75% of main-sequence stars are M dwarfs. They show the highest exoplanetary occurrence rate, among rocky planets orbiting within the Habitable Zone (HZ). More than 60% of these M dwarfs are active, displaying very frequent (up to ∼4 per day) and powerful (up to ∼1035 ergs) flares and superflares events. This can be a double-edge sword in regard of exoplanet habitability. On one hand, stellar activity can alter the atmosphere of a planet by photo-dissociating atmospheric species such as O3, SO2 and CH4. On the other hand, flares can promote the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules relevant to the origin of life (nucleobases, sugars, carboxylic acids or aminoacids). Interest in understanding how the Flare Frequency Distribution (FFD) can impact the habitability of an exoplanet is therefore growing. Recent observations have shown that the contrast in flux between flares and the photospheres of cool stars is maximized at UV wavelengths (up to ×100 times stronger than in the optical). UV is also preferable to constrain both the prebiotic abiogenesis and the Ozone depletion. Moreover, flares in the UV band contain emission lines (C IV, He II and Mg II) from transition and chromospheric regions. These will be extremely useful to study short- and long-term variability of active M dwarfs and provide crucial inputs to stellar models. For these reasons, we propose to use a CubeSat to complement current flare surveys operating in the optical. This CubeSat will observe a high number of flaring M dwarfs, performing all-sky photometric optical and NUV surveys, following an all-sky scanning law every two days. The NUV flares detected by this CubeSat can also be used to trigger ground-based follow-up time-resolved spectroscopy. The evolution of continuum and emission lines until reaching quiescent state will deliver precious information of the flare physics scenario. Finally, the study of M dwarfs stellar activity in the NUV band will provide valuable data for larger forthcoming missions that will survey exoplanets (namely PLATO, ARIEL and LUVOIR) as well as for models of planetary NUV photodissociation of biosignatures.

description: We present the first unbiased survey of neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The survey utilises pilot HI observations with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope as part of the Galactic ASKAP HI (GASKAP-HI) project whose dataset has been processed with the GASKAP-HI absorption pipeline, also described here. This dataset provides absorption spectra towards 229 continuum sources, a 275% increase in the number of continuum sources previously published in the SMC region, as well as an improvement in the quality of absorption spectra over previous surveys of the SMC. Our unbiased view, combined with the closely matched beam size between emission and absorption, reveals a lower cold gas faction (11%) than the 2019 ATCA survey of the SMC and is more representative of the SMC as a whole. We also find that the optical depth varies greatly between the SMC's bar and wing regions. In the bar we find that the optical depth is generally low (correction factor to the optically thin column density assumption of $\mathcal{R}_{\rm HI} \sim 1.04$) but increases linearly with column density. In the wing however, there is a wide scatter in optical depth despite a tighter range of column densities.
