I could be wrong, but check your :log file, you will likely see in it:

(x) lcore -up
(x) lcore -dn

It may be that the 0.109619395 Ry (or similar value that you got) comes from the "x lcore -up" while the 0.142149349 Ry comes from the "x lcore -dn".  Since the equation in section V of [2] has epsilon_3d_up, it may be that the values are needed from the "-up" instead of the "-dn".

Dear wien2k users:

According to Georg K. H. Madsen and Pavel Novak method for the estimation of Ueff, they use the penultimate eigenvalue of d orbital d (head -2 | tail -1), I would be grateful if you can explain to me why they did not take the last value (tail -1)?
Thank you in advance
