T he CMS experiment processes petabytes of data every second\, using an FPGA -based trigger system to identify rare signatures amid overwhelming backgr ounds. Recent advances incorporate unsupervised machine learning to flag a nomalous events within nanoseconds. This talk highlights recent developmen ts in trigger-level anomaly detection-including FPGA-deployed autoencoders \, graph networks\, and quantized transformers-and outlines how these tech nologies enable scalable\, model-driven and model-independent searches at the HL-LHC and future colliders.

[1]. As a result\, when integrated into electronic devices\, a potentially huge impact of the spi n-state switching on the device properties can be foreseen. In this talk\, I will present a review of research conducted in our team on electrical a nd charge transport properties of molecule-based spin crossover complexes. The presentation covers different size scales from bulk materials to thin films and nanoparticles\, including their device integration\, and embrac es the topic of hybrid materials/systems with coupled (electrical and spin crossover) properties as well.

Rabban\, the Dahr Jamail\, Randall Hage Jamail\, and Robert Lee Jamail Regents Chair in Law and Distinguished Teaching Profess or at the University of Texas at Austin\, will deliver a lecture on "The M eaning of Academic Freedom as a First Amendment Right of Universities." Ra bban has made substantial contributions to the fields of legal history and academic freedom\, including his recent book Academic Freedom\: From Prof essional Norm to First Amendment Right.\n\nFounded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg\, Virginia\, Phi Beta Kappa is the old est and most respected honorary society in the United States with chapters at 293 of the foremost institutions of higher education across the countr y. The organization recognizes and encourages a commitment to excellence i n the liberal arts.\n\nThe Alpha of Nebraska Chapter was chartered at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1895 and elected its first members in 1896. The membership and activities of the organization have reflected th eir respective times. The local chapter has held meetings\, sponsored occa sional programs\, talks\, and lectures\, and elected a full slate of new m embers.
