description: This work explores multi-functional nanostructured coatings created from cellulose nanocrystals, tiny crystalline parts of cellulose derived from renewable plant sources. We explored first their basic behavior such as how they charge in water, and used this to control their assembly. By printing aligned cellulose crystals onto surfaces, it is possible to change the way that water interacts with the surface, control blood droplets for blood testing, and print on hydrophobic polymers for smarter packaging and high throughput medical diagnostics.

description: Brillouin light scattering measurements were performed in the backscattering geometry on a Bi-substituted rare earth iron garnet. We observed two different peaks, one attributed to a surface spin wave in the dipole-exchange regime. The other is referred to as a backscattering magnon mode, because the incident light in this case is scattered backward by exchange-dominated spin wave inside the material. We propose a method to estimate the exchange stiffness constant from the frequency of the backscattering magnon mode. The obtained value is comparable with the previously reported values for Y$ _3 $Fe$ _5 $O$ _{12} $.

description: A broad class of contour gauges is shown to be determined by admissible contractions of the geometrical region considered and a suitable equivalence class of curves is defined. In the special case of magnetostatics, the relevant electromagnetic potentials are directly related to the ponderomotive forces. Schwinger's method of extracting a gauge invariant factor from the fermion propagator could, it is argued, lead to incorrect results. Dirac brackets of both Maxwell and Yang-Mills theories are given for arbitrary admissible space-like paths. It is shown how to define a non-abelian flux and local charges which obey a local charge algebra. Fields associated with the charges differ from the electric fields of the theory by singular topological terms; to avoid this obstruction to the Gauss law it is necessary to exclude a single, gauge fixing curve from the region considered.

description: The present study investigated the effect of application rate, soil type and temperature on the degradation dynamics of mesosulfuron methyl and iodosulfuron methyl and their effect on soil enzymatic and microbial activity under laboratory conditions. Mixture of mesosulfuron methyl + iodosulfuron methyl was applied to soils at application rates of 14.4, 28.8, 43.2 and 57.5 g ha−1. Residues of herbicides were extracted using ultrasonic-assisted extraction method and analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography. Degradation was dependent on soil type and application rate of herbicides with DT50 (50% degradation time) and DT90 (90% dissipation time) of 8.71 to 47.08 and 28.95 to 156.43 days for mesosulfuron methyl while 7.17 to 38.24 and 20.81 to 127.07 days for iodosulfuron methyl. Increase in temperature enhanced the dissipation of herbicides. The fastest dissipation was observed in loam 1 soil probably because in acidic soil abiotic hydrolysis was a predominant contributor in degradation. Among both herbicides, mesosulfuron methyl was more persistent in studied soils. Various metabolites of mesosulfuron methyl and iodosulfuron methyl, viz. mesosulfuron (M1) and 2-[3-(4-hydroxy-6-methoxypyrimidin-2-yl) ureidosulfonyl] – 4 – methane sulfonamidomethyl benzoate (M2), 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-2-yl-urea (M4), 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine (M5), metsulfuron methyl (I1), methyl-2-amino-sulfonyl benzoate (I2), 4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-amine (I3) and saccharin (I4), were also detected in the studied soils and their appearance and disappearance varied with soil type and application rate. The application of herbicides showed short-lived harmful effects on dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activity and soil microbial activity while urease activity remained unaffected. The results indicated that studied herbicides have low to moderate persistence and transitory adverse effects on soil microbial activity depending on pH, organic matter content and temperature conditions.

description: Sentence-level representations are necessary for various NLP tasks. Recurrent neural networks have proven to be very effective in learning distributed representations and can be trained efficiently on natural language inference tasks. We build on top of one such model and propose a hierarchy of BiLSTM and max pooling layers that implements an iterative refinement strategy and yields state of the art results on the SciTail dataset as well as strong results for SNLI and MultiNLI. We can show that the sentence embeddings learned in this way can be utilized in a wide variety of transfer learning tasks, outperforming InferSent on 7 out of 10 and SkipThought on 8 out of 9 SentEval sentence embedding evaluation tasks. Furthermore, our model beats the InferSent model in 8 out of 10 recently published SentEval probing tasks designed to evaluate sentence embeddings' ability to capture some of the important linguistic properties of sentences.

description: Neural probes are utilized to obtain information regarding the activity of brain cells for neural stimulation. The functional longevity of a probe is dependent upon its ability to minimize injury risk during insertion and the recording period in vivo, which could be related to micromotion-related strain between the probe and surrounding tissue. A series of finite element analyses were conducted using the nonlinear transient dynamic code LSDYNA (LSTC, Livermore, CA) to study the strain induced within the brain in an area around a neural probe. A variety of displacement pulses were input into the brain, first where a high magnitude, low frequency pulse was input which signifies respiration, and second where a low magnitude, high frequency pulse was input into the brain signifying vascular pulsation. Four different materials were considered for this study: (a) silicon, (b) polyimide, (c) hypothetical material with 0.06 GPa stiffness, and (d) hypothetical material with 0.006 GPa stiffness. The study was then expanded to include frequencies from 1 Hz to 40 Hz and utilizing displacement magnitudes of 4 μm and 25 μm while examining the effects the probe material would have on deformations in the brain under micromotion. The four different materials considered for this study were: (a) silicon, (b) polyimide, ( c) arbitrary material with 0.006 GPa stiffness, and ( d) arbitrary material with 0.0002 GPa stiffness. ln this study, only longitudinal motion was considered since previous studies have shown the mode of deformation that would cause greater injury to brain cells, when the nodes on the top surface of the probe were fixed. This study showed that when the probe had the durometer of polyimide, little to no reduction is seen in either stresses or strains during longitudinal motion, relative to that of a probe with the stiffness of silicon. However, up to a 62% reduction in stress and strain with respect to a silicon probe resulted when a 0.006 GPa probe stiffness is utilized, and up to a 99.7% reduction in stress and strain resulted when a 0.0002 GPa probe stiffness is utilized. To achieve strain relief in the tip region of the brain for the full range of conditions tested, the stiffness ratio between the probe and the brain should be no greater than 103 , but achieving a stiffness ratio of 10 can provide strain relief to the brain. Ln addition, the analysis showed the importance of setting model parameters to account for the effect of micromotion.
COVINFORM - Research design: Community and citizen responses - update M28

description: This deliverable provides an update of the research design of work package 6. As such, it offers methodological guidance to partners involved in the work package, summarising the research process to date and describing the additional data collection necessary for the successful completion of the work package. Work package 6 contributes to all of the COVINFORM project-level research questions, with an emphasis on how local contexts have shaped COVID-19 impacts and responses. Based on desk research on selected municipalities within the COVINFORM target countries, as well as a review of relevant scientific literature, the WP6 team developed five sub-questions focused on this topic:

RQ5.1. Locus: How did spatial system conditions and spatialised practices mediate COVID-19impacts and responses in the sub-national research sites?

RQ5.2. Social ties: How did social networks mediate COVID-19 impacts in the sub-nationalresearch sites?

RQ5.3. Joint action: What roles have CSOs, grassroots initiatives, and residents played in theprovision of health and social services in the sub-national research sites?

RQ5.4. Sharing: How did shared attitudes, beliefs, and practices mediate COVID-19 impacts inthe sub-national research sites?

RQ5.5. Intra-community diversity: How did intra-community patterns of difference mediateCOVID-19 impacts in the sub-national research sites?

We have sought to answer these questions through interviews with representatives of civil society organisations (CSOs) active in the research sites. During the initial fieldwork period (February through May 2022), N=38 of N=50 planned interviews were completed. These served as the basis for the findings reported in deliverables D6.3 Analysis: Community and citizen responses and impact and D6.4 Synthesis and lessons learnt on community and citizen responses and impacts.

Those partners who did not achieve their full sample during the first fieldwork period have continued conducting interviews, with the aim of reaching the full sample of N=50 by early summer 2023. This should allow all findings to be reported in the forthcoming deliverable D6.7 Analysis: Community and citizen responses and impact – update M34.

description: We present results for the reference scale r_0 in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory for beta = 6/g_0^2 in the range 5.7 <= beta <= 6.57. The high relative accuracy of 0.3-0.6% in r_0/a was achieved through good statistics, the application of a multi-hit procedure and a variational approach in the computation of Wilson loops. A precise definition of the force used to extract r_0 has been used throughout the calculation which guarantees that r_0/a is a smooth function of the bare coupling and that subsequent continuum extrapolations are possible. The results are applied to the continuum extrapolations of the energy gap Delta in the static quark potential and the scale L_max/r_0 used in the calculation of the running coupling constant.

description: We report pressure-dependent neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation/rotation measurements combined with first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of BaFe$_2$S$_3$ under pressure. The experimental results reveal a gradual enhancement of the stripe-type ordering temperature with increasing pressure up to 2.6 GPa and no observable change in the size of the ordered moment. The ab initio calculations suggest that the magnetism is highly sensitive to the Fe-S bond lengths and angles, clarifying discrepancies with previously published results. In contrast to our experimental observations, the calculations predict a monotonic reduction of the ordered moment with pressure. We suggest that the robustness of the stripe-type antiferromagnetism is due to strong electron correlations not fully considered in the calculations.

description: Automatic segmentation of an image to identify all meaningful parts is one of the most challenging as well as useful tasks in a number of application areas. This is widely studied. Selective segmentation, less studied, aims to use limited user specified information to extract one or more interesting objects (instead of all objects). Constructing a fast solver remains a challenge for both classes of model. However our primary concern is on selective segmentation. In this work, we develop an effective multigrid algorithm, based on a new non-standard smoother to deal with non-smooth coefficients, to solve the underlying partial differential equations (PDEs) of a class of variational segmentation models in the level set formulation. For such models, non-smoothness (or jumps) is typical as segmentation is only possible if edges (jumps) are present. In comparison with previous multigrid methods which were shown to produce an acceptable {\it mean} smoothing rate for related models, the new algorithm can ensure a small and {\it global} smoothing rate that is a sufficient condition for convergence. Our rate analysis is by Local Fourier Analysis and, with it, we design the corresponding iterative solver, improving on an ineffective line smoother. Numerical tests show that the new algorithm outperforms multigrid methods based on competing smoothers.

description: Superconductivity of the second kind was observed in many 3D Weyl and Dirac semi-metals. However in PdT e2, superconductivity is clearly of the first kind. This is very rare in Dirac semi - metals, but is expected in clean conventional metallic superconductors with 3D parabolic dispersion relation. The conduction bands in this material exhibit the linear (Dirac) dispersion only along two directions, while in the third direction the dispersion is parabolic. Therefore the "hybrid" Dirac-parabolic material is intermediate between the two extremes. A microscopic pairing theory is derived for arbitrary tilt parameter of the 2D cone and used to determine anisotropic coherence lengths, the penetration depths and applied to recent extensive experiments. Magnetic properties of these superconductors are then studied on the basis of microscopically derived Ginzburg - Landau effective theory for the order parameter.

description: We present the study of SOL2015-03-15 M1.2 flare, revealing acceleration of electrons and plasma heating in the sheared twisted magnetic structure in the polarity inversion line (PIL). The scope is to make the analysis of nonthermal electrons dynamics and plasma heating in the highly stressed magnetic loops interacting in the PIL by using X-ray, microwave, ultraviolet, and optical observations. It is found that the most probable scenario for the energy release in the PIL is the tether-cutting magnetic reconnection between the low-lying (3 Mm above the photosphere) magnetic loops within a twisted magnetic flux rope. Energetic electrons with the hardest spectrum were appeared at the onset of plasma heating up to the super-hot temperature of 40 MK. These electrons are localized in a thin magnetic channel with width of around 0.5 Mm with high average magnetic field of about 1200 G. The plasma beta in the super-hot region is less than 0.01. The estimated density of accelerated electrons is about 10^9 cm^-3 that is much less than the super-hot plasma density. The energy density flux of non-thermal electrons is estimated up to 3x10^12 ergs cm^-2s^-1 that is much higher than in the currently available radiative hydrodynamic models. These results revealed that one need to develop new self-consisting flare models reproducing 3D magnetic reconnection in the PIL with strong magnetic field, spatial filamentation of energy release, formation of high energy density populations of nonthermal electrons and appearance of the super-hot plasma.

description: This study examines the effects of farmers’ risk aversion and loss aversion on their climate change adaptation strategies. Farmers’ risk aversion and loss aversion were elicited using incentive-compatible risk experiments. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect information on their climate change adaptation strategies in Wushen Banner in China. The logistic regression analysis results indicated that farmers’ loss aversion is consistently and positively associated with choices across adaptation behaviors, indicating that more loss-averse farmers are more likely to improve irrigation, access to credit and increase rotation. The effects of farmers’ risk aversion on adaptation practices are mixed. Farmers’ risk aversion is negatively and significantly related to adaptation strategies on changing or increasing irrigation, but positively associated with crop diversification, accessing credit, increasing rotation and planting new crop varieties. Other socioeconomic factors, such as farmers’ educational attainment and household income, also have significant and positive effects on farmers’ adaptation practices.

description: The solutions to the metric that we normally find in textbooks and scientific articles are usually vacuum solutions. They are the cases of the most used metrics such as Schwarzschild, Kerr-Newman, Reissner-Nordstrom, etc. However, it is possible to find solutions of matter when it is defined by means of a distribution function that can be of mass density or probability density of finding our object in a certain position.However, it is possible to find solutions of matter when it is defined by means of a distribution function that can be of mass density or probability density of finding our object in a certain position. We will deduce the necessary conditions so that the components of the metric and the stress-energy tensor adjust to those of a realistic object and an elementary object. We will describe a simple technique to find the components of the metric and, finally, we will define two realistic minimum stress-energy tensor models for elementary realistic objects.
Three-Loop O(alpha_s^2 G_F M_t^2) Corrections to Higgs Production and Decay at e^+e^- Colliders

description: We evaluate the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections of O(alpha_s^2 G_F M_t^2) to the Standard-Model l^+l^-H, ZZH, and W^+W^-H couplings in the heavy-top- quark limit. Exploiting these results together with knowledge of Delta rho to the same order, we analyze a variety of production and decay processes of low- mass Higgs bosons at e^+e^- colliders. Specifically, we consider H->l^+l^-, H->l^+l^-l'^+l'^-, e^+e^-->ZH, Z->ff-barH, and e^+e^-->ff-barH, with f=l,nu. We work in the electroweak on-shell scheme formulated with G_F and employ both the on-shell and MS-bar definitions of the top-quark mass in QCD. As expected, the scheme and scale dependences are greatly reduced when the next-to-leading- order corrections are taken into account. In the on-shell scheme of top-quark mass renormalization, the O(alpha_s^2 G_F M_t^2) corrections act in the same direction as the O(alpha_s G_F M_t^2) ones and further increase the screening of the O(G_F M_t^2) terms. The coefficients of (alpha_s/pi)^2 range from -6.847 for the ZZH coupling to -16.201 for the l^+l^-H coupling. This is in line with the value -14.594 recently found for Delta rho.

description: X-ray observations of the accreting X-ray pulsar 4U~1907+09, obtained during February 1996 with the Proportional Counter Array on the Rossi X-ray Timing Experiment (RXTE), have enabled the first measurement of the intrinsic pulse period Ppulse since 1984: Ppulse=440.341[+0.012,-0.017] s. 4U 1907+09 is in a binary system with a blue supergiant. The orbital parameters were solved and this enabled the correction for orbital delay effects of a measurement of Ppulse obtained in 1990 with Ginga. Thus, three spin down rates could be extracted from four pulse periods obtained in 1983, 1984, 1990, and 1996. These are within 8% equal to a value of dPpulse/dt=+0.225 s/yr. This suggest that the pulsar is perhaps in a monotonous spin down mode since its discovery in 1983. Furthermore, the RXTE observations show transient ~18 s oscillations during a flare that lasted about 1 hour. The oscillations may be interpreted as Keplerian motion of an accretion disk near the magnetospheric radius. This, and the notion that the co-rotation radius is much larger than any conceivable value for the magnetospheric radius (because of the long spin period), renders it unlikely that this pulsar spins near equilibrium like is suspected for other slowing accreting X-ray pulsars. We suggest as an alternative that perhaps the frequent occurrence of a retrograde transient accretion disk may be consistently slowing the pulsar down. Further observations of flares can provide more evidence of this.

description: We compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constants of quark bilinears on the lattice in the quenched approximation at three values of the coupling beta=6/g_0^2=6.0,6.2,6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermion action. We perform a Renormalization Group analysis at the next-to-next-to-leading order and compute Renormalization Group invariant values for the constants. The results are applied to obtain a fully non-perturbative estimate of the vector and pseudoscalar decay constants.

Performance of top-quark and $W$-boson tagging with ATLAS in Run 2 of the LHC

description: The performance of taggers for hadronically decaying top quarks and $W$ bosons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. A set of techniques based on jet shape observables are studied to determine a set of optimal cut-based taggers for use in physics analyses. The studies are extended to assess the utility of combinations of substructure observables as a multivariate tagger using boosted decision trees or deep neural networks in comparison with taggers based on two-variable combinations. In addition, for highly boosted top-quark tagging, a deep neural network based on jet constituent inputs as well as a re-optimisation of the shower deconstruction technique is presented. The performance of these taggers is studied in data collected during 2015 and 2016 corresponding to 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ for the $t\bar{t}$ and $γ+$jet and 36.7 fb$^{-1}$ for the dijet event topologies.

description: A convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted-6,7-dihydrobenzo[d]oxazol-4(5H)-ones and 2-aryl-6,7-dihydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-ones through a Rh2(OAc)4-catalyzed C≡X (X = N, C) insertion of cyclic 2-diazo-1,3-diketones with nitriles and aromatic alkynes has been developed. This reaction uses readily available starting materials and stable cyclic 2-diazo-1,3-diketone compounds, with desired products formed in good to high yields. A tentative mechanism involving a C≡X bond insertion and 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization/ring opening and cyclization sequence for this reaction is proposed.

description: Quantum reflection is a universal property of atoms and molecules when scattered from surfaces in ultracold collisions. Recent experimental work has documented the quantum reflection and diffraction of He atoms, dimers, trimers and Neon atoms when reflected from a grating. Conditions for the observation of emerging beam resonances have been discussed and measured. In this paper, we provide a theoretical simulation of the quantum reflection in these cases from a grating. We confirm, as expected the universal dependence on the incident de Broglie wavelength only of the threshold angles for the observation of emerging beam resonances. However, the angular dependence of the reflection efficiencies, that is the ratio of scattered intensity into specific diffraction channels relative to the total intensity is found to be dependent on the specifics of the incident particle. The dependence of the reflection efficiency on the identity of the particle is intimately related to the fact that the incident energy dependence of quantum reflection depends on the details of the particle surface interaction.

description: We realize a heat engine using a single electron spin as a working medium. The spin pertains to the valence electron of a trapped $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ion, and heat reservoirs are emulated by controlling the spin polarization via optical pumping. The engine is coupled to the ion's harmonic-oscillator degree of freedom via spin-dependent optical forces. The oscillator stores the work produced by the heat engine and therefore acts as a flywheel. We characterize the state of the flywheel by reconstructing the Husimi $\mathcal{Q}$ function of the oscillator after different engine runtimes. This allows us to infer both the deposited energy and the corresponding fluctuations throughout the onset of operation, starting in the oscillator ground state. In order to understand the energetics of the flywheel, we determine its ergotropy, i.e. the maximum amount of work which can be further extracted from it. Our results demonstrate how the intrinsic fluctuations of a microscopic heat engine fundamentally limit performance.
A Search for Distant Galactic Cepheids Toward l=60

description: We present results of a survey of a 6-square-degree region near l=60, b=0 to search for distant Milky Way Cepheids. Few MW Cepheids are known at distances >~ R_0, limiting large-scale MW disk models derived from Cepheid kinematics; this work was designed to find a sample of distant Cepheids for use in such models. The survey was conducted in the V and I bands over 8 epochs, to a limiting I~=18, with a total of ~ 5 million photometric observations of ~ 1 million stars. We present a catalog of 578 high-amplitude variables discovered in this field. Cepheid candidates were selected from this catalog on the basis of variability and color change, and observed again the following season. We confirm 10 of these candidates as Cepheids with periods from 4 to 8 days, most at distances > 3 kpc. Many of the Cepheids are heavily reddened by intervening dust, some with implied extinction A_V > 10 mag. With a future addition of infrared photometry and radial velocities, these stars alone can provide a constraint on R_0 to 8%, and in conjunction with other known Cepheids should provide good estimates of the global disk potential ellipticity.

description: This thesis reports on enhancements to AudioGenev9, an ensemble machine learning model. These enhancements involve a novel method - intra-ensemble data partitioning - to produce a diverse set of sub-models, and heuristics derived from domain knowledge regarding typical deafness phenotype-genotype associations. The context for this prediction is personalized genomic, or precision, medicine which has the potential to improve diagnosis leading to improved treatments and outcomes for patients. Previously, AudioGenev4, a patient-level support vector-based ML tool, has filled this niche as a supplemental diagnostic tool for predicting a hearing loss patient’s disease-causing gene, when autosomal dominant inheritance has been identified, using multiple audiograms. AudioGenev9, an audiogram-level ensemble prediction model, is the latest version of this pioneering tool. It is a publicly available alternative that offers improved overall predictive performance, from 70.9% to 77.8%, on single audiograms, achieved through careful consideration of the effects of imbalanced training data and selective data partitioning for ensemble sub-model training.

description: We present a method for parametrizing heavy meson semileptonic form factors using dispersion relations, and from it produce a two-parameter description of the B -> B elastic form factor. We use heavy quark symmetry to relate this function to B -> D* l nu form factors, and extract |V_cb|=0.0355^{+0.0029}_{-0.0025} from experimental data with a least squares fit. Our method eliminates model-dependent uncertainties inherent in choosing a parametrization for the extrapolation of the differential decay rate to threshold.
