description: Filipinos’ deep respect for the dead impelled the culture of holding wake, interment and memorial as expression of reverence and tribute. Although Filipinos’ daily life are influenced by Catholic teachings, there is an observable lack of knowledge of and formation in the faith. This article investigated on the rich, yet often neglected, literature that surrounds Christian formation and religious practices on honoring the dead in the Philippines. Understood as a heritage in itself, there is a need to preserve, protect, and promote such social practice on honoring the dead. Despite the call of the particular Church in the Philippines towards a renewed catechesis on Christian life, death and afterlife, there have been no available learning module or program for families of the departed that has been created, nor implemented. This study argued that by integrating a contextualized learning resource in the existing learning package for Religious Education, crafting of lessons which are responsive to the educational and social context of learners – specifically on topics that touches Catholic doctrines on life, death and afterlife – will aim at a deeper appreciation of Catholic doctrines, leading to authentic witnessing to the Faith through one’s own cultural identity.

description: Mammogram benign or malignant classification with only image-level labels is challenging due to the absence of lesion annotations. Motivated by the symmetric prior that the lesions on one side of breasts rarely appear in the corresponding areas on the other side, given a diseased image, we can explore a counterfactual problem that how would the features have behaved if there were no lesions in the image, so as to identify the lesion areas. We derive a new theoretical result for counterfactual generation based on the symmetric prior. By building a causal model that entails such a prior for bilateral images, we obtain two optimization goals for counterfactual generation, which can be accomplished via our newly proposed counterfactual generative network. Our proposed model is mainly composed of Generator Adversarial Network and a \emph{prediction feedback mechanism}, they are optimized jointly and prompt each other. Specifically, the former can further improve the classification performance by generating counterfactual features to calculate lesion areas. On the other hand, the latter helps counterfactual generation by the supervision of classification loss. The utility of our method and the effectiveness of each module in our model can be verified by state-of-the-art performance on INBreast and an in-house dataset and ablation studies.

Parametrized Post-Friedmann Signatures of Acceleration in the CMB

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We extend the covariant, parametrized post-Friedmann treatment of cosmic acceleration from modified gravity to an arbitrary admixture of matter, radiation, relativistic components and spatial curvature. Explicit expressions in the comoving, Newtonian and synchronous gauges facilitate the adaptation of Einstein-Boltzmann codes for solving CMB and matter perturbations in the linear regime. Using a comoving gauge code, we study the effect of metric evolution on the CMB through the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Modified gravity can alter the low multipole spectrum, including lowering the power in the quadrupole. From a principal component description of the primary metric ratio parameter, we obtain general constraints from WMAP on modified gravity models of the acceleration.

description: This thesis work focuses on studying the possible existence of phase transitions in the immediate compact remnants of core collapse supernova, neutron stars, and the theoretical models that describe the interior of dense matter. Specifically, we are interested in analyzing the feasibility of a transition from hadronic matter to quark matter in the cores of these objects. For the phase transition we will use two different formalisms: the Maxwell formalism or abrupt phase transition and the Gibbs formalisms or mixed phase transition. For the description of hadronic matter, we will use different parametrizations of the relativistic mean field model with density-dependent coupling constants. For the description of quark matter we will use an effective nonlocal Nambu Jona-Lasinio model of three flavors with vector interactions, in which we will include the possibility of formation of diquarks to model a superconducting phase of color in $SU(3)$. Phase diagrams and equations of state of quark matter at finite temperature are presented, and the influence of that type of matter on observables associated with neutron stars is investigated. The simplified thermal evolution of compact stars during their formation is studied, from their state of proto-neutron stars to that of cold neutron stars, and the results obtained are compared with recent astrophysical observations. The results obtained indicate that the occurrence of quark matter in the nuclei of these stars remains a promising possibility. The fact that the use of more realistic models for the description of the dense matter in these objects indicates the presence of quark matter inside neutron stars, could be an answer to the question of the behavior of that kind of matter and the determination of its corresponding equation of state.

description: Elaboration of the driver advisory functions related to the vehicle and traffic safety improvement, emission reduction and energy-efficiency increase. These functions will be realized in human-machine interface (HMI) systems with visual and haptic channels supporting interactions between the driver and on-board systems of Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicle (MAGV). The identification technique for the driver parameterization and advisory HMI functions will be developed basing on the computational and artificial intelligence methods. The whole system will be tested on an existing equipment, including the advanced driver simulator test rigs with the ability for measuring the driver’s bio-physiological parameters, as well as on a commercial MAGV.

National identity and political behaviour in Quebec, Scotland and Brittany
Creators: name: Howe, Paul Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis makes two broad claims. It contends firstly that there is considerable variation in national consciousness across the population of a stateless nation. People can and do feel minutely, partly or wholely Breton, Scottish or Quebecois. Moreover, these are not merely differences of degree. Underlying the uneven intensity of nationalist sentiment within stateless nations is qualitative variation in the buttresses of national consciousness. Some - typically those with weaker national identities - are "pragmatist nationalists": people whose sense of belonging to a distinct community is firmly grounded in tangible sociological differences, be they ethnic, linguistic, religious or political. Others, more taken with the nation, are "idealist nationalists"; their sense of national belonging is more the product of an abstract and idealized sense of connectedness than hard and concrete sociological difference. This basic difference in the underpinnings of national identity, along with other attendant contrasts between pragmatist and idealist nationalists, are explored through historical analysis of various nationalist organizations and activists in Brittany, Scotland and Quebec. The second central proposition is that this qualitative variation in national identity is an important determinant of political behavior. Many of the wide-ranging attitudes and behaviors seen among exponents of the nationalist cause can be traced back to the conditioning effects of national identity on the outlook and political disposition of different nationalist players. In making this case, the analysis proceeds thematically, drawing examples variously from the three cases; it offers, in places, quantitative evidence based on analysis of the original data from previously conducted surveys. Various attitudinal and behavioral phenomena are thus explored: perceptions of the legitimacy of different means of effecting changes in the nation's political status (e.g. violence versus democratic means); the rationality of different nationalist players; their patterns of participation in nationalist projects; and overall mobilization trends. While these phenomena are somewhat disparate, they are linked by an overarching theme: idealist nationalists are less sensitive to empirical realities than their pragmatist counterparts. They are consequently more intransigent and uncompromising in their attitudes and behavior, and for this reason often play an important vanguard role in the process of nationalist mobilization.

description: The third-order polarization emitted from groups of individual localized excitonic transitions after pulsed optical excitation is measured. We observe the evolution of the nonlinear response from the case of a free polarization decay for a single transition, to that of a photon echo for many transitions. The echo is shown to arise from the mutual rephasing of the emission from individual transitions.

Os Dessaiados Da India Portuguesa [4to Anuario da India Portuguesa, 1933 : 229 - 256] includes a list of ‘dessaiados’ of a different kind, other than the desāis and sardesāis that we have dealt with extensively up to now. This kind were not called desāis; they feature in the list of dessaiados as ‘mercé’, that is award, benefit or endowment. Unlike the desāis and sardesāis, these were not natural persons; they were juridical persons. And in their case there was no quid pro quo; the desāis and sardesāis had certain obligations towards the ruler; either in the form of revenue collection or in the form of military support. The mercé did not call for any such service in return; the grant or award or endowment was gratis, out of the goodwill of the ruler.

description: We review recent research on the transport properties of classical waves through chaotic systems with special emphasis on microwaves and sound waves. Inasmuch as these experiments use antennas or transducers to couple waves into or out of the systems, scattering theory has to be applied for a quantitative interpretation of the measurements. Most experiments concentrate on tests of predictions from random matrix theory and the random plane wave approximation. In all studied examples a quantitative agreement between experiment and theory is achieved. To this end it is necessary, however, to take absorption and imperfect coupling into account, concepts that were ignored in most previous theoretical investigations. Classical phase space signatures of scattering are being examined in a small number of experiments.

Relay Pursuit of an Evader by a Heterogeneous Group of Pursuers Using Potential Games

description: We propose a decentralized solution for a pursuit-evasion game involving a heterogeneous group of rational (selfish) pursuers and a single evader based on the framework of potential games. In the proposed game, the evader aims to delay (or, if possible, avoid) capture by any of the pursuers whereas each pursuer tries to capture the latter only if this is to his best interest. Our approach resembles in principle the so-called relay pursuit strategy introduced in [1], in which only the pursuer that can capture the evader faster than the others is active. In sharp contrast with the latter approach, the active pursuer herein is not determined by a reactive ad-hoc rule but from the solution of a corresponding potential game. We assume that each pursuer has different capabilities and his decision whether to go after the evader or not is based on the maximization of his individual utility (conditional on the choices and actions of the other pursuers). The pursuers' utilities depend on both the rewards that they will receive by capturing the evader and the time of capture (cost of capturing the evader) so that a pursuer should only seek capture when the incurred cost is relatively small. The determination of the active pursuer-evader assignments (in other words, which pursuers should be active) is done iteratively by having the pursuers exchange information and updating their own actions by executing a learning algorithm for games known as Spatial Adaptive Play (SAP). We illustrate the performance of our algorithm by means of extensive numerical simulations.

Ultradilute self-bound quantum droplets in Bose-Bose mixtures at finite temperature

description: We theoretically investigate the finite-temperature structure and collective excitations of a self-bound ultradilute Bose droplet in a flat space realized in a binary Bose mixture with attractive inter-species interactions on the verge of mean-field collapse. As the droplet formation relies critically on the repulsive force provided by Lee-Huang-Yang quantum fluctuations, which can be easily compensated by thermal fluctuations, we find a significant temperature effect in the density distribution and collective excitation spectrum of the Bose droplet. A finite-temperature phase diagram as a function of the number of particles is determined. We show that the critical number of particles at the droplet-to-gas transition increases dramatically with increasing temperature. Towards the bulk threshold temperature for thermally destabilizing an infinitely large droplet, we find that the excitation-forbidden, self-evaporation region in the excitation spectrum, predicted earlier by Petrov using a zero-temperature theory, shrinks and eventually disappears. All the collective excitations, including both surface modes and compressional bulk modes, become softened at the droplet-to-gas transition. The predicted temperature effects of a self-bound Bose droplet in this work could be difficult to measure experimentally due to the lack of efficient thermometry at low temperatures. However, these effects may already present in the current cold-atom experiments.

description: With the Great Recession as enduring scenery, this journey dwells in widening the acumen on Continental European Labour Markets, particularly during sizable downturns. The yacht, the Portuguese case, is one of its representative designs. The course departs with the specific mannerisms of wage setting institutions, where the first leg reasons the dynamics of collective bargaining in distressed periods, and the second focuses on the influence of trade unions in this wage setting protocol. Then, we have a regatta for an empirical structural analysis of the dynamics of the wage setting and its resilience under significant distress. The last straw deals with the interaction between the labour market institutions and firm liquidity; and its influence on the dynamics of wages and unemployment throughout recessionary periods. At the final harbour, we have drawn a consistent sketch of our yacht’s blueprints, and hopefully of those alike. As the zenith of the journey, we have broaden the knowledge about its conduct on rough waters.

description: We study phase transitions between black holes with scalar hair and topological black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. As the ground state solutions, we introduce the non-rotating BTZ black hole in three dimensions and topological black hole with hyperbolic horizon in four dimensions. For the temperature matching only, we show that the phase transition between black hole with scalar hair (Martinez-Troncoso-Zanelli black hole) and topological black hole is second-order by using differences between two free energies. However, we do not identify what order of the phase transition between scalar and non-rotating BTZ black holes occurs in three dimensions, although there exists a possible decay of scalar black hole to non-rotating BTZ black hole.

description: The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) enables Swift to determine GRB positions with a few arcseconds accuracy within 100 seconds of the burst onset. The XRT utilizes a mirror set built for JET-X and an XMM/EPIC MOS CCD detector to provide a sensitive broad-band (0.2-10 keV) X-ray imager with effective area of > 120 cm^2 at 1.5 keV, field of view of 23.6 x 23.6 arcminutes, and angular resolution of 18 arcseconds (HPD). The detection sensitivity is 2x10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in 10^4 seconds. The instrument is designed to provide automated source detection and position reporting within 5 seconds of target acquisition. It can also measure the redshifts of GRBs with Fe line emission or other spectral features. The XRT operates in an auto-exposure mode, adjusting the CCD readout mode automatically to optimize the science return for each frame as the source intensity fades. The XRT will measure spectra and lightcurves of the GRB afterglow beginning about a minute after the burst and will follow each burst for days or weeks.

description: How can we effectively regularize BERT? Although BERT proves its effectiveness in various downstream natural language processing tasks, it often overfits when there are only a small number of training instances. A promising direction to regularize BERT is based on pruning its attention heads based on a proxy score for head importance. However, heuristic-based methods are usually suboptimal since they predetermine the order by which attention heads are pruned. In order to overcome such a limitation, we propose AUBER, an effective regularization method that leverages reinforcement learning to automatically prune attention heads from BERT. Instead of depending on heuristics or rule-based policies, AUBER learns a pruning policy that determines which attention heads should or should not be pruned for regularization. Experimental results show that AUBER outperforms existing pruning methods by achieving up to 10% better accuracy. In addition, our ablation study empirically demonstrates the effectiveness of our design choices for AUBER.

Enhancing spatial resolution in magnetic particle imaging using eigen-reconstructions: opportunities and limitations

description: Enhancements in spatial resolution can open new avenues for novel applications, but acquiring data at higher resolutions generally comes with penalties in measurement times, signal-to-noise ratios and safety concerns. Therefore, maximizing the spatial resolution of the available data during image reconstruction is paramount. Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) has already reached sub-millimeter spatial resolutions. With standard tracers, this has been achieved using a reconstruction method that compensates for the point spread function of the system and the superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIOs). This method is known as the system matrix approach and uses a calibration measurement, relating the concentration of SPIOs and the true particle response to the measured signal. Using a calibration measurement for reconstruction requires a comprehensive assessment of the quality of the system matrix in addition to the measured image data. Analyzing the system matrix by reconstructing selected measurements contained in itself and visualizing them in image space (henceforward called eigen-reconstructions) can provide clear information regarding image quality and artifacts. This is equivalent to using ideal measurement data. Thus, it is possible to identify sources of image artifacts arising solely from the reconstruction, which can be then compensated. In a preliminary report, we presented the principle of eigen-reconstructions to identify and reduce reconstruction-induced artifacts. In this work, we focus on the application of the method to enhance spatial resolution in MPI reconstructions. The principles of an iterative algorithm based on eigen-reconstructions are also further detailed. It is shown that the algorithm compensates the blur arising during image reconstruction effectively. For validation, we present tests of our method using 2D and 3D datasets including an homogeneous and a resolution phantom to demonstrate potential opportunities and limitations. Int. J. Mag. Part.

This upper bound is non-trivial in that it is smaller than either the Kouchnirenko or the Khovanskii bounds for these systems. When the support is exactly a circuit whose affine span is ${\Z}^n$, this bound is $2n+1$, while the Khovanskii bound is exponential in $n^2$. The bound $2n+1$ can be attained only for non-degenerate circuits. Our methods involve a mixture of combinatorics, geometry, and arithmetic.

description: Many people perceive the Book of Deuteronomy as “the second law,” following its etymology. It has been misunderstood because of the mistaken rendering of the Septuagint as “this second law” (see Original Text [OT] 1); should have been correctly translated as “a copy of this law,” however. This may also be precisely the reason of our indifferent feeling towards Deuteronomy as somewhat a “collection” of dry ordinances and testimonies that have little relation to the life of the spirit, justification by faith and perfection of freedom. This paper presents, in a qualitative manner, the inseparability and indissolubility of the theologico–historico–sociological dimension of Israel as a nation and as a believer – on how the faith-struggle of the people of Israel, during and after their entry into the Promised Land, is intertwined in their history and recollection of the past. Briefly, yet substantially, this paper will show the central theme of the Book – the call towards an interpersonal relationship between God and Israel. Situating Deuteronomy in its proper setting and actual form in history, defining the unique character of Israel as “God’s chosen people,” it also aims to magnify the impact of the message of Deuteronomy in contemporary times – that our faith (generically, “belief in the Divine”) cannot be divorced from our common life. Our perception of such a relationship should transcend “duty” and legalistic understanding.
Grain Sedimentation in a Giant Gaseous Protoplanet

description: We present a calculation of the sedimentation of grains in a giant gaseous protoplanet such as that resulting from a disk instability of the type envisioned by Boss (1998). Boss (1998) has suggested that such protoplanets would form cores through the settling of small grains. We have tested this suggestion by following the sedimentation of small silicate grains as the protoplanet contracts and evolves. We find that during the course of the initial contraction of the protoplanet, which lasts some $4\times 10^5$ years, even very small (> 1 micron) silicate grains can sediment to create a core both for convective and non-convective envelopes, although the sedimentation time is substantially longer if the envelope is convective, and grains are allowed to be carried back up into the envelope by convection. Grains composed of organic material will mostly be evaporated before they get to the core region, while water ice grains will be completely evaporated. These results suggest that if giant planets are formed via the gravitational instability mechanism, a small heavy element core can be formed due to sedimentation of grains, but it will be composed almost entirely of refractory material. Including planetesimal capture, we find core masses between 1 and 10 M$_{\oplus}$, and a total high-Z enhancement of ~40 M$_{\oplus}$. The refractories in the envelope will be mostly water vapor and organic residuals.

description: Remote sensing (RS) scene classification is a challenging task to predict scene categories of RS images. RS images have two main characters: large intra-class variance caused by large resolution variance and confusing information from large geographic covering area. To ease the negative influence from the above two characters. We propose a Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Ensemble Network (MGML-FENet) to efficiently tackle RS scene classification task in this paper. Specifically, we propose Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Fusion Branch (MGML-FFB) to extract multi-granularity features in different levels of network by channel-separate feature generator (CS-FG). To avoid the interference from confusing information, we propose Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Ensemble Module (MGML-FEM) which can provide diverse predictions by full-channel feature generator (FC-FG). Compared to previous methods, our proposed networks have ability to use structure information and abundant fine-grained features. Furthermore, through ensemble learning method, our proposed MGML-FENets can obtain more convincing final predictions. Extensive classification experiments on multiple RS datasets (AID, NWPU-RESISC45, UC-Merced and VGoogle) demonstrate that our proposed networks achieve better performance than previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) networks. The visualization analysis also shows the good interpretability of MGML-FENet.

Focusing on the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model initialized in the ground state of the ferromagnetic phase, we demonstrate that the work probability distribution displays non-Gaussian behavior for quenches in the vicinity of the excited state critical point. Furthermore, we show that the entropy of the diagonal ensemble is highly susceptible to critical regions, making it a robust and practical indicator of the associated spectral characteristics. We assess the role that symmetry breaking has on the ensuing dynamics, highlighting that its effect is only present for quenches beyond the critical point. Finally, we show that similar features persist when the system is initialized in an excited state and briefly explore the behavior for initial states in the paramagnetic phase.

Chld’s play : a children’s theatre at Vanier Park
Creators: name: Billingsley, Brian Laing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The design of a children's theatre at Vanier Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, is loosely based upon the model and philosophical underpinnings of the Vancouver Children's Festival. The theatre is situated in the present site of the Children's Festival, designed to provide children with year round access to the arts. A liaison between school children or a venue for professional travelling troupes, the theatre is designed to accommodate any size of performance. The integration of landscape is a strong component of the overall theatre design, reinforcing the vitality of the annual Festival held in the park. The plan and resultant form is derived from specific site geometries and view corridors provided by its location. The hierarchy of spaces is dominated by a large central lobby which is circumvented by a looping ramp. This space is where the spontaneity of children's theatre is to take place, a space where each child becomes an actor in his or her own play. The idea of looping is a generative concept to further heighten these secondary aspects of children's theatre.

description: HVDC underground transmission is of high interest for future grid extension. Generally, directly buried DC cables and DC GIL are possible solutions, and both of them represent new technologies. This paper takes a first step in comparing their current carrying capabilities and investment costs. In order to do so, the ampacity ratings are first calculated for homogenous bedding properties with the help of analytical formulas and a numerical model. This serves as a validation of the model and gives important insights of the differences between the two technologies. In a next step, the ampacity ratings are derived under the influence of realistic constraints, such as the inclusion of drying out of the soil, variations of the backfill material or environmental demands into the calculations. Based on the derived ampacity ratings, the investment costs are assessed, considering a large variation of major cost factors. For two different scenarios, i.e. a transmission capacity of 2.5 GW and 5 GW, the relative project costs are compared.

description: Cache prefetching technology has become the mainstream data access optimization strategy in the data centers. However, the rapidly increasing of unstructured data generates massive pairwise access relationships, which can result in a heavy computational burden for the existing prefetching model and lead to severe degradation in the performance of data access. We propose cache-transaction-based data grouping model (CTDGM) to solve the problems described above by optimizing the feature representation method and grouping efficiency. First, we provide the definition of the cache transaction and propose the method for extracting the cache transaction feature (CTF). Second, we design a data chunking algorithm based on CTF and spatiotemporal locality to optimize the relationship calculation efficiency. Third, we propose CTDGM by constructing a relation graph that groups data into independent groups according to the strength of the data access relation. Based on the results of the experiment, compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our algorithm achieves an average increase in the cache hit rate of 12% on the MSR dataset with small cache size (0.001% of all the data), which in turn reduces the number of data I/O accesses by 50% when the cache size is less than 0.008% of all the data.

description: The circumnuclear region of M31, consisting of multiphase interstellar medium, provides a close-up view of the interaction of the central supermassive black hole and surrounding materials. Far-infrared (FIR) line structure lines and their flux ratios can be used as diagnostics of physical properties of the neutral gas in this region. Here we present the first FIR spectroscopic mapping of the circumnuclear region of M31 in [C ii] 158 um, [O i] 63 um and [O iii] 88 um lines with the Herschel Space Observatory, covering a ~500 x 500 pc (2' x 2') field. Significant emissions of all three lines are detected along the so-called nuclear spiral across the central kpc of M31. The velocity field under a spatial resolution of ~50 pc of the three lines are in broad consistency and also consistent with previous CO(3-2) line observations in the central region. Combined with existing [C ii] and CO(3-2) observations of five other fields targeting on the disk, we derived the radial distribution of [C ii]/CO(3-2) flux ratio, and found that this ratio is higher in the center than the disk, indicating a low gas density and strong radiation field in the central region. We also found that the [C ii]/FIR ratio in the central region is 5.4 (+-0.8) x 10^-3, which exhibits an increasing trend with the galactocentric radius, suggesting an increasing contribution from old stellar population to dust heating towards the center.

Fast and robust magnon transport in a spin chain

description: A protocol for fast and robust magnon transport in a one-dimensional spin chain is devised. Employing an approximate mapping between the chain and a single harmonically trapped particle, we exploit the known analytic control protocols for the latter and adopt them to achieve fast, high-fidelity transport in the chain. We compare the performance with finite time adiabatic protocols, establishing that the designed scheme allows for significantly faster and more stable transport. Furthermore, we show that a sharp transition exists between regions in which the protocol is effective and when it breaks down, giving rise to a heuristic speed limit for the process.

description: We consider a hybrid atom-optomechanical system consisting of a mechanical membrane inside an optical cavity and an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate outside the cavity. The condensate is confined in an optical lattice potential formed by a traveling laser beam reflected off one cavity mirror. We derive the cavity-mediated effective atom-atom interaction potential, and find that it is non-uniform, site-dependent, and does not decay as the interatomic distance increases. We show that the presence of this effective interaction breaks the Z$_2$ symmetry of the system and gives rise to new quantum phases and phase transitions. When the long-range interaction dominates, the condensate breaks the translation symmetry and turns into a novel self-organized lattice-like state with increasing particle densities for sites farther away from the cavity. We present the phase diagram of the system, and investigate the stabilities of different phases by calculating their respective excitation spectra. The system can serve as a platform to explore various self-organized phenomena induced by the long-range interactions.

description: We study the effect of a small fermion mass in the formulation of the on-shell effective field theory (OSEFT). This is our starting point to derive small mass corrections to the chiral kinetic theory. In the massless case, only four Wigner functions are needed to describe positive and negative energy fermions of left and right chirality, corresponding to the vectorial components of a fermionic two-point Green's function. As soon as mass correction are introduced, tensorial components are also needed, while the scalar components strictly vanish in the OSEFT. The tensorial components are conveniently parametrized in the so-called spin coherence function, which describe quantum coherent mixtures of left-right and right-left chiral fermions, of either positive or negative energy. We show that, up to second order in the energy expansion, vectorial and tensorial components are decoupled, and obey the same dispersion law and transport equation, depending on their respective chirality. We study the mass modifications of the reparametrization invariance of the OSEFT, and check that vector and tensorial components are related by the associated symmetry transformations. We study how the macroscopic properties of the system are described in terms of the whole set of Wigner functions, and check that our framework allows to account for the mass modifications to the chiral anomaly equation.

description: We present the GALEX NUV (2310 A) and FUV (1530 A) galaxy luminosity functions of the nearby cluster of galaxies A1367 in the magnitude range -20.3< M_AB < -13.3. The luminosity functions are consistent with previous (~ 2 mag shallower) estimates based on the FOCA and FAUST experiments, but display a steeper faint-end slope than the GALEX luminosity function for local field galaxies. Using spectro-photometric optical data we select out star-forming systems from quiescent galaxies and study their separate contributions to the cluster luminosity function. We find that the UV luminosity function of cluster star-forming galaxies is consistent with the field. The difference between the cluster and field LF is entirely due to the contribution at low luminosities (M_AB >-16 mag) of non star-forming, early-type galaxies that are significantly over dense in clusters.
