description: Methylisothiazolinone and the reaction mixture of chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI, 3:1) are broadly used biocides that are contained in many products of everyday life (e.g. cosmetics, wet wipes, etc.). As MI and MCI are able to sensitize (and penetrate) the skin, their application in cosmetic products is of concern. In previous work, we have revealed a background exposure of the general population to MI and/or MCI/MI (3:1) by the determination of urinary N-methylmalonamic acid (NMMA) as the main human metabolite. To corroborate these findings, we have now developed a two-dimensional LC/MS/MS method for the quantification of a mercapturic acid metabolite of MI and MCI ((acetylamino){[3-(methylamino)-1-(methylthio)-3-oxopropyl]thio}acetic acid or shortly "M-12") in human urine. This analyte is enriched online using a Strata-X-column and stripped from the urinary matrix. Then, the analyte is back flushed to the analytical column (Phenomenex C18(2), 150 * 4.6 mm) and finally quantified by tandem mass spectrometry with the use of isotopically labelled M-12 as the internal standard. The LOQ for M-12 was 0.2 ng mL-1 urine and sufficient to quantify urinary background levels. Precision within and between series for M-12 in urine at concentrations varying from 0.2 to 5 ng mL-1 ranged from 2.1 to 23.9% and accuracy ranged from 86.3 to 101.8%. Mean accuracy for M-12 in individual urine samples was 94.3% (range: 89.7-102.9%). We applied this method to previously collected 24 h urine samples of 60 persons with no specific exposure to MI and/or MCI/MI (3:1). The metabolite M-12 could be quantified in each urine sample. The median and 95th percentile levels for urinary M-12 were determined to be 0.62 and 2.26 ng mL-1, respectively. In these urine samples, the concentrations of the previously determined metabolite NMMA and M-12 correlated well. In the future, we will apply this method to urine samples of a previously conducted human exposure study to explore the additional value of M-12 as a biomarker of exposure to MI and MCI.

Measuring properties of a dark photon from semi-invisible decay of the Higgs boson

description: Considerable efforts have been dedicated to discovering a dark photon via the decay of the Higgs boson to a photon and an invisible particle. A subject that is still mostly unexplored is which properties of the dark photon could be measured at the LHC if an excess were to be found in this channel and whether we could determine if this signal is indeed that of a dark photon. In this paper, we seek to address some of these questions for two Higgs production channels: gluon-fusion and $Z$-associated. First, prospects are presented for the upper limit on the mass of a massless dark photon and for the uncertainty on the mass of a massive dark photon. Second, we study the feasibility of distinguishing this signal from that of the Higgs decaying to a gravitino and a neutralino that decays to a photon and another gravitino. Finally, the complementary possibility of observing the decay of the Higgs to a dark photon and a $Z$ boson is studied.

description: Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker cosmology is examined from the point of view of gravitoelectromagnetism, in the approximation of spacetime regions small in comparison with the Hubble radius. The usual Lorentz gauge is not appropriate for this situation, while the Painlevé-Gullstrand gauge is rather natural. Several non-trivial features and differences with respect to "standard" asymptotically flat gravitoelectromagnetism are discussed.

description: Optical losses degrade the sensitivity of laser interferometric instruments. They reduce the number of signal photons and introduce technical noise associated with diffuse light. In quantum-enhanced metrology, they break the entanglement between correlated photons. Such decoherence is one of the primary obstacles in achieving high levels of quantum noise reduction in precision metrology. In this work, we compare direct measurements of cavity and mirror losses in the Caltech 40m gravitational-wave detector prototype interferometer with numerical estimates obtained from semi-analytic intra-cavity wavefront simulations using mirror surface profile maps. We show a unified approach to estimating the total loss in optical cavities (such as the LIGO gravitational detectors) that will lead towards the engineering of systems with minimum decoherence for quantum-enhanced precision metrology.

description: The nature of Correctional Officer (CO) work makes COs susceptible to adverse physical and psychological health conditions. The health outcomes of this population are understudied, and no research has examined contributory factors to adverse health outcomes in this population. Perhaps sleep may be such a factor. The goal of this study is to bolster knowledge about the health of this population and further, examine the relationship between sleep and health. An archival dataset of 243 COs from a National Institute of Justice study will be used. Self-reported rates of health conditions for this CO sample will be reported. Self-reported and actigraphy-derived multidimensional sleep health will be reported, including regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration. The relationship between count of health conditions and sleep health will be examined via generalized linear modeling.
A Free Choice? Binding of a Task-Irrelevant Context in Voluntary Task Switching

description: Previous research provided evidence for feature binding and episodic retrieval processes in task switching, also involving task-irrelevant features (the context henceforth). This latter evidence consisted in performance benefits when all the features of the previous trial (the task, the response and the context) repeated in the current trial (i.e., a full repetition), compared to when some switched (i.e., a partial repetition). In the present study, we examine whether the task becomes bound with the context in each trial, and whether repeating the context retrieves the previous task by using a different approach. We employed a voluntary task-switching paradigm, wherein participants are free to pick the task to perform in each trial among two possible tasks. In order to ensure a sufficient number of task switches, we employed a procedure devised by Mittelstädt et al. (2018). Specifically, in each trial, we delay the onset of the task-repetition stimulus, with a delay that increases the more consecutive task repetitions are performed. Since the more active a task set is, the more likely it is selected, we predict that repeating the context will increase n-1 voluntary task repetitions.
Applicability of the thawed Gaussian wavepacket dynamics to the calculation of vibronic spectra of molecules with double-well potential energy surfaces

description: Simulating vibrationally resolved electronic spectra of anharmonic systems, especially those involving double-well potential energy surfaces, often requires expensive quantum dynamics methods. Here, we explore the applicability and limitations of the recently proposed single-Hessian thawed Gaussian approximation for the simulation of spectra of systems with double-well potentials, including 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, ammonia, phosphine, and arsine. This semiclassical wavepacket approach is shown to be more robust and to provide more accurate spectra than the conventional harmonic approximation. Specifically, we identify two cases in which the Gaussian wavepacket method is especially useful due to the breakdown of the harmonic approximation: (i) when the nuclear wavepacket is initially at the top of the potential barrier but delocalized over both wells, e.g., along a low-frequency mode, and (ii) when the wavepacket has enough energy to classically go over the low potential energy barrier connecting the two wells. The method is efficient and requires only a single classical ab initio molecular dynamics trajectory, in addition to the data required to compute the harmonic spectra. We also present an improved algorithm for computing the wavepacket autocorrelation function, which guarantees that the evaluated correlation function is continuous for arbitrary size of the time step.

description: Strong high-ionization lines such as HeII of young galaxies are puzzling at high and low redshift. Although recent studies suggest the existence of non-thermal sources, whether their ionizing spectra can consistently explain multiple major emission lines remains a question. Here we derive the general shapes of the ionizing spectra for three local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) that show strong HeII$λ$4686. We parameterize the ionizing spectra composed of a blackbody and power-law radiation mimicking various stellar and non-thermal sources. We use photoionization models for nebulae, and determine seven parameters of the ionizing spectra and nebulae by Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, carefully avoiding systematics of abundance ratios. We obtain the general shapes of ionizing spectra explaining $\sim 10$ major emission lines within observational errors with smooth connections from observed X-ray and optical continua. We find that an ionizing spectrum of one EMPG has a blackbody-dominated shape, while the others have convex downward shapes at $>13.6$ eV, which indicate a diversity of the ionizing spectrum shapes. We confirm that the convex downward shapes are fundamentally different from ordinary stellar spectrum shapes, and that the spectrum shapes of these galaxies are generally explained by the combination of the stellar and ultra-luminous X-ray sources. Comparisons with stellar synthesis models suggest that the diversity of the spectrum shapes arises from differences in the stellar age. If galaxies at $z\gtrsim 6$ are similar to the EMPGs, high energy ($>54.4$ eV) photons of the non-stellar sources negligibly contribute to cosmic reionization due to relatively weak radiation.

description: The ultra-cold muon technology developed for the muon $g-2$ experiment at J-PARC provides a low emittance $μ^+$ beam which can be accelerated and used for realistic collider experiments. We consider the possibility of new collider experiments by accelerating the $μ^+$ beam up to 1 TeV. Allowing the $μ^+$ beam to collide with a high intensity $e^-$ beam at the TRISTAN energy, $E_{e^-}= 30$ GeV, in the storage ring with the same size as TRISTAN (the circumference of 3 km), one can realize a collider experiment with the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt s = 346$ GeV, which allows productions of the Higgs bosons through the vector boson fusion processes. We estimate the deliverable luminosity with existing accelerator technologies to be at the level of $5 \times 10^{33}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, with which the collider can be a good Higgs boson factory. The $μ^+ μ^+$ colliders up to $\sqrt s = 2$ TeV are also possible by using the same storage ring. They have a capability of producing the superpartner of the muon up to TeV masses.

description: We present a new methodology that is able to yield a simultaneous determination of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the proton alongside any set of parameters that determine the theory predictions; whether within the Standard Model (SM) or beyond it. The SIMUnet methodology is based on an extension of the NNPDF4.0 neural network architecture, which allows the addition of an extra layer to simultaneously determine PDFs alongside an arbitrary number of such parameters. We illustrate its capabilities by simultaneously fitting PDFs with a subset of Wilson coefficients within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework and show how the methodology extends naturally to larger subsets of Wilson coefficients and to other SM precision parameters, such as the strong coupling constant or the heavy quark masses.

description: Research on physical interventions installed in outdoor environments and their impacts on children’s play and development is a growing area of study. This paper focuses on the design and installation of outdoor interventions at early childhood education centres in Vancouver, Canada and the impact that theses interventions had on play affordances. With the aim of intervening with inexpensive natural materials and loose parts, graduate students designed, built, and installed interventions and using the Seven Cs evaluation form they scored the play spaces pre- and post-installation. Design methods included the Seven Cs design guidelines and the Two-Eyed Seeing model. Students also sought the insights of Early Childhood Educators, maintenance staff, licensing officers, the British Columbia Cancer Agency, and an Indigenous herbalist/educator. They also examined and addressed solar modifications to create dappled light. To understand the impacts of the student interventions researchers compared the pre- and post-intervention Seven Cs scores, which increased by 20 to 30 points. Researchers seeking to replicate this type of project in their own institutions should carefully consider the impact of climate change on construction timing and material selection, and sensitivity to the diversity of socio-cultural values embedded in the community and within design decisions and the interventions themselves.
Signatures of leptophilic t-channel dark matter from active galactic nuclei

description: In this work, we study indirect photon signatures of leptophilic dark matter (DM) coming from Centaurus A, where a DM density spike is believed to have survived to date contrary to the case of our galaxy. We consider a model where DM is a Majorana fermion which interacts with right-handed electrons via a scalar mediator. Assuming that the photons measured from the core of Cen A are coming from SM processes, we derive constraints on the average annihilation cross section which are 7 orders of magnitude stronger than the ones from measurements of the Galactic Center. Focusing on the allowed parameter space range, we calculate the flux of photons coming from the radiative DM-electron scattering in the AGN jets and the circular polarisation asymmetry of these photons. We find that this flux is two orders of magnitude lower than the background but its circular polarisation asymmetry can reach values close to $100\%$, indicating the need to experimentally exploit the high fraction of circular polarisation in order to detect these interactions. Since the origin of the photons in the GeV-TeV range from Cen A is not completely clear and an exotic origin is compatible with the measurements as well, we also consider the scenario in which synchrotron radiation can only partially explain the photon flux and we fit the excess with signals coming from DM annihilation, finding a best fit for a DM candidate with a mass $m_{\tildeχ}= 123$ GeV and a coupling $a_R = 0.018$.

Laser-Controlled Charge Transfer in a Two-Dimensional Organic/Inorganic Optical Coherent Nanojunction

description: Understanding the fundamental mechanisms ruling laser-induced coherent charge transfer in hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces is of paramount importance to exploit these systems in next-generation opto-electronic applications. In a first-principles work based on real-time time-dependent density-functional theory, we investigate the ultrafast charge-carrier dynamics of a prototypical two-dimensional vertical nanojunction formed by a MoSe$_2$ monolayer with adsorbed pyrene molecules. The response of the system to the incident pulse, set in resonance with the frequency of the lowest-energy transition in the physisorbed moieties, is clearly nonlinear. Under weak pulses, charge transfer occurs from the molecules to the monolayer while for intensities higher than 1000 GW/cm$^{2}$, the direction of charge transfer is reverted, with electrons being transferred from MoSe$_2$ to pyrene. This finding is explained by Pauli blocking: laser-induced (de)population of (valence) conduction states saturates for intensities beyond 200 GW/cm$^{2}$. Evidence of multi-photon absorption is also provided by our results. A thorough analysis of electronic current density, excitation energy, and number of excited electrons supports the proposed rationale and suggests the possibility to create an inorganic/organic coherent optical nanojunction for ultrafast electronics.

description: Power semiconductor device architectures require the inclusion of a diffusion barrier to suppress, or at best prevent the interdiffusion between the copper metallisation interconnects and the surrounding silicon substructure. The binary pseudo-alloy of titanium-tungsten (TiW), with $>$70~at.\% W, is a well established copper diffusion barrier but is prone to degradation via the out-diffusion of titanium when exposed to high temperatures ($\geq$400$^\circ$C). Here, the thermal stability of physical vapour deposited (PVD) TiW/Cu bilayer thin films in Si/SiO\textsubscript{2}(50~nm)/TiW(300~nm)/Cu(25~nm) stacks were characterised in response to annealing at 400$^\circ$C for 0.5~h and 5~h, using a combination of soft and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS and HAXPES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results show that annealing promoted the segregation of titanium out of the TiW and interdiffusion into the copper metallisation. Titanium was shown be driven toward the free copper surface, accumulating there and forming a titanium oxide overlayer upon exposure to air. Annealing for longer timescales promoted a greater out-diffusion of titanium and a thicker oxide layer to grow on the copper surface. However, interface measurements suggest that the diffusion is not significant enough to compromise the barrier integrity and the TiW/Cu interface remains stable even after 5~h of annealing.

description: Quantum machine learning has emerged as a potential practical application of near-term quantum devices. In this work, we study a two-layer hybrid classical-quantum classifier in which a first layer of quantum stochastic neurons implementing generalized linear models (QGLMs) is followed by a second classical combining layer. The input to the first, hidden, layer is obtained via amplitude encoding in order to leverage the exponential size of the fan-in of the quantum neurons in the number of qubits per neuron. To facilitate implementation of the QGLMs, all weights and activations are binary. While the state of the art on training strategies for this class of models is limited to exhaustive search and single-neuron perceptron-like bit-flip strategies, this letter introduces a stochastic variational optimization approach that enables the joint training of quantum and classical layers via stochastic gradient descent. Experiments show the advantages of the approach for a variety of activation functions implemented by QGLM neurons.

 Carra M. & Ricciardi S.

The prehistoric site of Bazzarola is characterized by three different Neolithic horizons, giving
evidence of a Neolithic occupation which lasted continually for about two thousand years: the “Ceramica
Impressa” culture, the “Fiorano” culture and the “Vasi a Bocca Quadrata” culture. This paper presents the
results of archaeobotanical analysis of samples from nine of the investigated features. [The Neolithic of

La collezione della palafitta di Ledro del Museo di Antropologia dell'Università di Padova: ricostruzione del paleoambiente.
 Pinton V. & Carrara N.

The archaeological remains from Ledro constitute one of the most important collections for their
number, variety and state of conservation which are currently preserved at the Museum of Anthropology of
the University of Padova. They were collected by prof. R. Battaglia during the 1937 excavation campaign.
According to the archaeological conclusions and the 14C dating, the lake-dwelling was built between 2000
and 1800 BC and abandoned between 1500 and 1200 BC. The collection is composed by 1296 catalogued
pieces of different materials: animal and human bones, botanical remains, lithic artefacts, horn and bone
objects, terracotta, bronze, wood and tissue fragments.
Considering Battaglia’s report (1943), Dalla Fior’s pollinic analysis (1940) and Riedel’s archaeozoological
study, the collection was revisited according with the modern methodologies, trying to reach a better
comprehension of the ancient environment in the valley of Ledro. The museal collection confirms presences
of typical mountain flora and fauna and a strong human action in order to improve agriculture and breeding,
two important economical activities at time. Landscape was probably characterized by brushy forest with a
band without trees round the lakeside utilized in agriculture. [The collection of Ledro lake-dwellings of the

description: Emittance is a beam quality that is vital for many future applications of advanced accelerators, such as compact free-electron lasers and linear colliders. In this paper, we review the challenges of preserving the transverse emittance during acceleration, both inside and outside accelerator stages. Sources of emittance growth range from space charge and instabilities caused by transverse wakefields, which can occur in any advanced accelerator scheme regardless of medium or driver type, to sources more specific to plasma accelerators, such as mismatching, misalignment, ion motion, Coulomb scattering, chromaticity between stages, and more.

description: Limited data exist on pharmaceutical product use by infants, although available data suggests higher prevalence of use among children under 12 months of age. We conducted a descriptive study of 3050 infants recruited in the CHILD Cohort Study, a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal cohort following children from pregnancy through childhood. Parents were surveyed for use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and natural health products (NHPs, including homeopathic products and vitamins) at 3, 6, and 12 months after delivery. By one year of age, 96.0% of children had taken at least one pharmaceutical product. Among 307 reported products, 32 were given to at least 1% of cohort infants. Vitamin D, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, topical hydrocortisone, amoxicillin, and nystatin were the most common medications and natural health products (NHPs) received, with 8/32 of the most frequently used products being NHPs. Overall, 14.7% of pharmaceutical products administered to children were off-label and 35.8% were NHPs or products without a Drug Identification Number (DIN). The use of over-the-counter medications and NHPs is common and off-label use of drugs is frequent, even in the first year of life. This study highlights the importance of conducting studies on medication use in infants, and of infant medication use monitoring by healthcare providers.

description: We verify a method which allows to obtain the $β$-function of supersymmetric theories regularized by higher covariant derivatives by calculating only specially modified vacuum supergraphs. With the help of this method for a general renormalizable ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory a part of the three-loop $β$-function depending on the Yukawa couplings is constructed in the general $ξ$-gauge. The result is written in the form of an integral of double total derivatives with respect to the loop momenta. It is demonstrated that all gauge dependent terms cancel each other in agreement with the general statements. Taking into account that the result in the Feynman gauge (found earlier) coincides with the one obtained by the standard technique, this fact confirms the correctness of the considered method by a highly nontrivial multiloop calculation.

description: We study U(1) gauge theories with a modified Villain action. Such theories can naturally be coupled to electric and magnetic matter, and display exact electric-magnetic duality. In their simplest formulation without a $θ$-term, such theories are ultra-local. We extend the discussion to U(1) gauge theories with $θ$-terms, such that $θ$ periodicity is exact for a free theory, and show that imposing electric-magnetic duality results in a local, but not ultra-local lattice action, which is reminiscent of the Lüscher construction of axial-symmetry preserving fermions in 4d. We discuss the coupling to electric and magnetic matter as well as to dyons. For dyonic matter the electric-magnetic duality and shifts of the $θ$-angle by $2π$ together generate an SL$(2,\mathbb Z)$ duality group of transformations, just like in the continuum. We finally illustrate how the SL$(2,\mathbb Z)$ duality may be used to explore theories at finite $θ$ without a sign problem.
