description: The East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) is an important part of the global climate system and plays a vital role in the Asian climate. Its seasonal predictability is a long-standing issue within the monsoon scientist community. In this study, we analyse the seasonal (the leading time is at least 6 months) prediction skill of the EASM rainfall and its associated general circulation in non-initialised and initialised simulations for the years 1979–2005, which are performed by six prediction systems (i.e. the BCC-CSM1-1, the CanCM4, the GFDL-CM2p1, the HadCM3, the MIROC5, and the MPI-ESM-LR) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP 5). We find that most prediction systems of simulated zonal wind over 850 and 200hPa are significantly improved in the initialised simulations compared to non-initialised simulations. Based on the knowledge that zonal wind indices can be used as potential predictors for the EASM, we select an EASM index based upon the zonal wind over 850hPa for further analysis. This assessment shows that the GFDL-CM2p1 and the MIROC5 added prediction skill in simulating the EASM index with initialisation, the BCC-CSM1-1, the CanCM4, and the MPI-ESM-LR changed the skill insignificantly, and the HadCM3 indicates a decreased skill score. The different responses to initialisation can be traced back to the ability of the models to capture the ENSO (El Niño–Southern Oscillation) and EASM coupled mode, particularly the Southern Oscillation–EASM coupled mode. As is known from observation studies, this mode links the oceanic circulation and the EASM rainfall. Overall, the GFDL-CM2p1 and the MIROC5 are capable of predicting the EASM on a seasonal timescale under the current initialisation strategy.

Casimir Friction Between a Magnetic and a Dielectric Material, in the Nonretarded Limit

description: The repulsive nature of the static Casimir force between two half-spaces, one perfectly dielectric and the other purely magnetic, has been known since Boyer's work [T. H. Boyer, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 9}, 2078 (1974)]. We here analyze the corresponding friction force in the magnetodielectric case. Our main method is that of quantum mechanical statistical mechanics. The basic model we introduce is a harmonic oscillator model: an electric dipole oscillating in the $x$ direction and a magnetic one oscillating in the $y$ direction, while their separation is in the $z$ direction. This is then extended to particles with isotropic polarizabilities. We evaluate the friction force in a variety of cases: force between moving particles, between a moving particle and a half-plane, and between half-spaces sliding against each other. At the end explicit results are obtained both for finite and zero temperatures. We restrict ourselves to the nonretarded limit.

description: The Fondo Piazzi is the first core of Palermo Astronomical Observatory’s historical library and in 2019/2020 it is was object of a large scale conservation project. It counts more than 800 books and 600 journals dated back from XVI to early XIX century. The collection was fully identified and catalogued in the previous years by the work of the librarian D. Randazzo, but it had never been analysed by a conservator. So, we started a conservation survey on the collection and we designed a database to store the collected information. The database is especially important because it is multifunctional: on the one hand, it helped the conservator to prioritize and establish the program of conservation treatments, to record bibliographical, structural and material information on the books; on the other hand it is a set of data that can be enriched, shared and used for everybody working on the collection, now and in the future, improving the knowledge of Fondo Piazzi.

description: Using numerical simulations we show that a variety of novel colloidal crystalline states and multi-step melting phenomena occur on square and triangular two-dimensional periodic substrates. At half-integer fillings different kinds of frustration effects can be realized. A two-step melting transition can occur in which individual colloidal molecules initially rotate, destroying the overall orientational order, followed by the onset of interwell colloidal hopping, in good agreement with recent experiments.

description: We propose a SUSY scenario to explain the current electron and muon $g-2$ discrepancies without introducing lepton flavor mixings. Threshold corrections to the Yukawa couplings can enhance the electron $g-2$ and flip the sign of the SUSY contributions. The mechanism predicts a flavor-dependent slepton mass spectrum. We show that it is compatible with the Higgs mediation scenario.

description: We consider the 2D Ising lattice gas in a square of side L with free boundary conditions, temperature below the critical one and particle density slightly above the density of the vapor phase. Typical configurations consist of a quarter of a Wulff droplet of the liquid phase centered at one of the corners of the given square. We then introduced a reversible Markovian spin exchange dynamics, also known as Kawasaki dynamics, on the configuration space and we discuss the heuristics of the transition of a bubble of the liquid phase from one corner to another. We then present some numerical evidence suggesting that the preferred mechanism to make the transition is via evaporation of the original bubble and simultaneous reconstruction of a new bubble around a new corner.

Spectral dimension on spatial hypersurfaces in causal set quantum gravity

description: An important probe of quantum geometry is its spectral dimension, defined via a spatial diffusion process. In this work we study the spectral dimension of a ``spatial hypersurface'' in a manifoldlike causal set using the induced spatial distance function. In previous work, the diffusion was taken on the full causal set, where the nearest neighbours are unbounded in number. The resulting super-diffusion leads to an increase in the spectral dimension at short diffusion times, in contrast to other approaches to quantum gravity. In the current work, by using a temporal localisation in the causal set, the number of nearest spatial neighbours is rendered finite. Using numerical simulations of causal sets obtained from $d=3$ Minkowski spacetime, we find that for a flat spatial hypersurface, the spectral dimension agrees with the Hausdorff dimension at intermediate scales, but shows clear indications of dimensional reduction at small scales, i.e., in the ultraviolet. The latter is a direct consequence of ``discrete asymptotic silence'' at small scales in causal sets.

Molecular structural order and anomalies in liquid silica

description: The present investigation examines the relationship between structural order, diffusivity anomalies, and density anomalies in liquid silica by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We use previously defined orientational and translational order parameters to quantify local structural order in atomic configurations. Extensive simulations are performed at different state points to measure structural order, diffusivity, and thermodynamic properties. It is found that silica shares many trends recently reported for water [J. R. Errington and P. G. Debenedetti, Nature 409, 318 (2001)]. At intermediate densities, the distribution of local orientational order is bimodal. At fixed temperature, order parameter extrema occur upon compression: a maximum in orientational order followed by a minimum in translational order. Unlike water, however, silica's translational order parameter minimum is broad, and there is no range of thermodynamic conditions where both parameters are strictly coupled. Furthermore, the temperature-density regime where both structural order parameters decrease upon isothermal compression (the structurally anomalous regime) does not encompass the region of diffusivity anomalies, as was the case for water.

description: The historical archives of the Italian astronomical Observatories are a source of incredible treasures. They contain records of observations, sketches of astronomical objects (nebulae, comets, planets), letters, diaries, journey logbooks, meteorological data, maps, astronomical calculations, etc. Over 3 million documents, 122 series containing the funds of various astronomers are preserved in 12 historical archives. Rearranging these records is a long and hard task comparable to solving a puzzle not knowing how the finished picture will turn out, but we certainly know that the reorganization will constitute a fundamental resource for the study of the history of astronomy. The web portal “Polvere di stelle [Stardust] : the cultural heritage of Italian astronomy” (http://www.beniculturali.inaf.it/eng/) contains a specific section dedicated to the historical archives. It provides a brief descriptions of each archive and the possibility to consult the tree structure of the inventories and to make a search in all database fields. In 2018 a digitazion project of selected archival documents began and the 18th century meteorological registers from Padua and the solar observations made by Pietro Tacchini and Angelo Secchi in 19th century are now available on “Polvere di stelle”. This contribution will show benefits and problems encountered in dealing this particular aspect of preservation and valorization of the astronomical heritage.

description: The electrical resistivity measurements in the magnetic field are carried out on the pressure-induced superconductor UGe$_2$. The superconductivity is observed from 1.06 to 1.44 GPa. The upper critical field of $H_{C2}$ is anisotropic where $H_{C2}(T)$ exhibits positive curvature for $H//b$ and $c$-axis. The characteristic enhancement of $H_{C2}$ is reconfirmed for $H//a$-axis. In the temperature and field dependence of resistivity at $P > P_{C}$ where the ferromagnetic ordering disappears, it is observed that the application of the external field along the {\it a}-axis increases the coefficient of Fermi liquid behavior $AT^{2}$ correspondingly to the metamagnetic transition.

description: The correlations between tensile properties and some common parameters in BCC refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs) have been systematically investigated. The findings can be used as guidelines for the alloy design. We found that there exists a positive linear correlation between average atomic shear modulus mismatch and yield strength, and more negative enthalpy of mixing is peculiarly prone to brittle fracture in RMPEAs. Meanwhile, some BCC RMPEAs with first-class tensile properties were designed successfully. The analyses of alloys’ toughen mechanism revealed that their high strength, as well as good ductility, is attributed to lattice distortion and dislocation glide respectively. This work provided some effective guidelines for the design of BCC refractory multi-principal element alloys with superior strength-ductility combinations via utilizing several common physical parameters.

description: An electron-positron linear collider in the energy range between 500 and 1000 GeV is of crucial importance to precisely test the Standard Model and to explore the physics beyond it. The physics program is complementary to that of the Large Hadron Collider. Some of the main physics goals and the expected accuracies of the anticipated measurements at such a linear collider are discussed. A short review of the different collider designs presently under study is given including possible upgrade paths to the multi-TeV region. Finally a framework is presented within which the realisation of such a project could be achieved as a global international project.

description: We propose a simple phenomenological model describing composite crystals, constructed from two parallel sets of periodic inter-penetrating chains. In the harmonic approximation and neglecting thermal fluctuations we find the eigenmodes of the system. It is shown that at high frequencies there are two longitudinal sound modes with standard attenuation, while in the low frequency region there is one propagating sound mode and an over-damped phase mode. The crossover between these two regions is analyzed numerically and the dynamical structure factor is calculated. It is shown that the qualitative features of the experimentally observed spectra can be consistently described by our model.

description: We analyze the phemomenon of induced fermion number at finite temperature. At finite temperature, the induced fermion number $$ is a thermal expectation value, and we compute the finite temperature fluctuations, $(ΔN)^2=-^2$. While the zero temperature induced fermion number is topological and is a sharp observable, the finite temperature induced fermion number is generically nontopological, and is not a sharp observable. The fluctuations are due to the mixing of states inherent in any finite temperature expectation value. We analyze in detail two different cases in 1+1 dimensional field theory: fermions in a kink background, and fermions in a chiral sigma model background. At zero temperature the induced fermion numbers for these two cases are very similar, but at finite temperature they are very different. The sigma model case is generic and the induced fermion number is nontopological, but the kink case is special and the fermion number is topological, even at finite temperature. There is a simple physical interpretation of all these results in terms of the spectrum of the fermions in the relevant background, and many of the results generalize to higher dimensional models.

description: The multicritical point at which both a 3-component and a 2-component order parameters order simultaneously in 3 dimensions is shown to have the critical behavior of the decoupled fixed point, with separate n=3 and n=2 behavior. This contradicts both the extrapolation of the epsilon-expansion at leading order, which yields the biconical point, and recent Monte Carlo simulations, which gave isotropic SO(5) behavior. Thus, this tetracritical point carries no information on the relevance of the so-called SO(5) theory of high-T superconductivity.

description: The National Institute for Astrophysics in 2017 decided to adopt an open access institutional repository for collecting all their scientific production.
 The idea of putting into practice the principles of open access could no longer been procrastinated, after a series of indications from the European Union and after the official positions taken by the Institute itself: namely the European Commission’s Recommendation on access to scientific information and its conservation, the document of the Italian Ministry of Research on the European Horizon 2020 programme, the signature of the Position statement on open access to the results of scientific research in Italy. Already between 2012 and 2013 in Europe it was established that the scholarly publications on the results from research funded by public grants by at least 50% should be published in Open Access Journals, or made available through Open Access Repositories within 6 months from the publishing date. At the end of 2017, the INAF Scientific Directorate finally welcomed the proposal to acquire DSpace-CRIS, a software developed by 4Science and used by over 70 Universities and research Institutions in Italy, and over 20 Institutes abroad.
 A heterogeneous Working Group consisting of librarians and computer specialists and scientists worked on the configuration of the hardware and software and at the same time drafted an Open Access Policy, having as a model the text developed by the CRUI (Conference of Italian University Rectors) Open Access Working Group. ?In OA@INAF (https://openaccess.inaf.it) you find not only the common scientific literature (articles, proceedings, books), but also grey literature in particular technical reports (see Giovanna Caprio’s poster).
 The talk illustrates the various phases of the project, how the software works, the problems encountered and the solutions found.
 A help site (https://openaccess-info.inaf.it) has also been developed to support users.

description: The effect of nanoscale intragranular premature κ-carbide precipitates, having an ordered structure but without chemical partitioning, on the incipient plasticity behavior of austenite in Fe-Mn-Al-(Cr)-C low-density steels was investigated by nanoindentation. We found that the incipient plasticity was dominated by a heterogeneous dislocation nucleation mechanism via atom-vacancy exchange. Although the content of κ-carbide decreased with Cr addition, its negligible effect on incipient plasticity strength was witnessed by the slightly increased shear stress for dislocation nucleation. Comparatively, the increased interstitial C atoms with Cr content in austenite enhanced lattice cohesions which impeded the nucleation events by increasing the requisite shear stress. Despite being one of the most important strengthening phases, nanoscale premature κ-carbide precipitates surprisingly have a negligible effect on incipient plasticity of austenite in Fe-Mn-Al-(Cr)-C low-density steels.

description: We consider the problem of segmenting a biomedical image into anatomical regions of interest. We specifically address the frequent scenario where we have no paired training data that contains images and their manual segmentations. Instead, we employ unpaired segmentation images to build an anatomical prior. Critically these segmentations can be derived from imaging data from a different dataset and imaging modality than the current task. We introduce a generative probabilistic model that employs the learned prior through a convolutional neural network to compute segmentations in an unsupervised setting. We conducted an empirical analysis of the proposed approach in the context of structural brain MRI segmentation, using a multi-study dataset of more than 14,000 scans. Our results show that an anatomical prior can enable fast unsupervised segmentation which is typically not possible using standard convolutional networks. The integration of anatomical priors can facilitate CNN-based anatomical segmentation in a range of novel clinical problems, where few or no annotations are available and thus standard networks are not trainable.

description: We perform a many-body study of the spin dephasing due to the D'yakonov-Perel' effect in n-typed GaAs (100) quantum wells under high magnetic fields in the Voigt configuration by constructing and numerically solving the kinetic Bloch equations. We include all the spin conserving scattering such as electron-phonon, the electron-nonmagnetic impurity as well as the electron-electron Coulomb scattering in our theory and investigate how the spin dephasing time (SDT) is affected by the initial spin polarization, impurity, and magnetic field. The dephasing obtained from our theory contains not only that due to the effective spin-flipping scattering first proposed by D'yakonov and Perel' [Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. {\bf 60}, 1954 (1971)[Sov. Phys.-JETP {\bf 38}, 1053 (1971)]], but also the recently proposed many-body dephasing due to the inhomogeneous broadening provided by the DP term [Wu, J. Supercond.:Incorp. Novel Mechanism {\bf 14}, 245 (2001); Wu and Ning, Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 18}, 373 (2000)]. We are able to investigate the spin dephasing with extra large spin polarization (up to 100 %) which has not been discussed both theoretically and experimentally. A huge anomalous resonance of the SDT for large spin polarizations is predicted under the high magnetic field we used.

description: We develop and verify a phase-sensitive second harmonic generation spectroscopic scheme that allows for direct determination of the absolute surface charge density and surface potential of a water interface without need of prior interfacial information. The method relies on selective probing of surface-field-induced reorientation order of water molecules in the electrical double layer and is, hence, independent of the interfacial molecular bonding structure. Application of this technique to a mixed surfactant monolayer on water suggests the manifest effect of the chain-chain interactions among the monolayer on adsorption of soluble ionic surfactants. We also deduce the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of bulk water and prove its applicability to analysis of charges of various water interfaces. In addition, we show that the Debye-Hückle theory should be avoided in the spectroscopic analysis for its potential significant error, as evidenced experimentally and theoretically.

description: Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of the Thai Health Improvement Profile intervention for preventing clinically significant weight gain in people with early stage psychosis. Methods: We undertook a randomised controlled trial from 10/2018 to 05/2021. Participants with early stage psychosis (< 5 year duration) were recruited using convenience sampling from the caseloads of community psychiatric nurses in Thailand and randomly allocated to either the Thai Health Improvement Profile intervention or treatment as usual group following baseline assessment. Outcome assessors were blind to group allocation, whereas participants were not. Participants in the intervention group received three monthly (five in total) systematic health checks using the Thai Health Improvement Profile tool, which was used to develop a personal health plan in collaboration with a family member/carer. Nurses supported participants to implement the health plan using behaviour change techniques derived from motivational interviewing. The treatment as usual group consisted of medication and psychosocial support, and no additional intervention was provided. The primary outcome was weight gain (defined as a greater or equal to 7 % increase in weight against baseline) within 1 year. Results: Fifty-three participants were allocated to the intervention and an equal number to the treatment as usual group. Primary outcome data were available for 30 participants in each group at the 12 month follow-up. We undertook an intention to treat analysis with multiple imputation (to handle the missing data) for the primary outcome. The treatment as usual group was found to have higher odds than the Thai Health Improvement Profile intervention group of gaining ≥ 7 % of baseline body weight (OR = 6.52; 95 % CI: 1.88–22.65, p = 0.004). Conclusions: The Thai Health Improvement Profile intervention was effective at preventing weight gain in people with early stage psychosis at one year, though attrition was relatively high. The results highlight the need for community mental health nurses to adopt a holistic approach, the potential benefits of conducting regular comprehensive health checks and the importance of involving family members when aiming to improve the physical health of people diagnosed with early stage psychosis. A large definitive multi-site randomised controlled trial of the Thai Health Improvement Profile with a longer follow-up is now justified.

 Clythra grossa Forsberg, 1821a: 269, 290 (original description).
 Type locality. ‘America meridionali’.
 Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: J, ‘grossa. / 28 / Brasil. … [illegible] [box label, w, h]’ (UUZM).
 Distribution. Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay (AGRAIN 2013).
 Comments. AGRAIN (2013) considered it as valid species in his recent revision of the genus Megalostomis. Although Agrain did not directly examine Forsbergʼs type material, the identity of Megalostomis grossa was correctly applied in his revision.
The holotype was overlooked by WALLIN (2001) and was thus not mentioned in his catalogue of the type specimens deposited in UUZM.

description: Recently, Point of interest (POI) recommendation has gained ever-increasing importance in various Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs). With the recent advances of neural models, much work has sought to leverage neural networks to learn neural embeddings in a pre-training phase that achieve an improved representation of POIs and consequently a better recommendation. However, previous studies fail to capture crucial information about POIs such as categorical information. In this paper, we propose a novel neural model that generates a POI embedding incorporating sequential and categorical information from POIs. Our model consists of a check-in module and a category module. The check-in module captures the geographical influence of POIs derived from the sequence of users' check-ins, while the category module captures the characteristics of POIs derived from the category information. To validate the efficacy of the model, we experimented with two large-scale LBSN datasets. Our experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art POI recommendation methods.

description: Superconducting thin films have been prepared on Si-substrates, using pulsed laser deposition from a target composed of a mixture of Mg and MgB2 powders. The films were deposited at room temperature and post-annealed at 600 degrees C. The zero resistance transition temperatures were 12 K, with an onset transition temperature of 27 K. Special care has been taken to avoid oxidation of Mg in the laser plasma and deposited film, by optimizing the background pressure of Ar gas in the deposition chamber. For this the optical emission in the visible range from the plasma has been used as indicator. Preventing Mg from oxidation was found to be essential to obtain superconducting films.
