description: Meconium ileus (MI), a life-threatening intestinal obstruction due to meconium with abnormal protein content, occurs in approximately 15 percent of neonates with cystic fibrosis (CF). Analysis of twins with CF demonstrates that MI is a highly heritable trait, indicating that genetic modifiers are largely responsible for this complication. Here, we performed regional family-based association analysis of a locus that had previously been linked to MI and found that SNP haplotypes 5′ to and within the MSRA gene were associated with MI (P = 1.99×10−5 to 1.08×10−6; Bonferroni P = 0.057 to 3.1×10−3). The haplotype with the lowest P value showed association with MI in an independent sample of 1,335 unrelated CF patients (OR = 0.72, 95% CI [0.53–0.98], P = 0.04). Intestinal obstruction at the time of weaning was decreased in CF mice with Msra null alleles compared to those with wild-type Msra resulting in significant improvement in survival (P = 1.2×10−4). Similar levels of goblet cell hyperplasia were observed in the ilea of the Cftr −/− and Cftr −/−Msra −/− mice. Modulation of MSRA, an antioxidant shown to preserve the activity of enzymes, may influence proteolysis in the developing intestine of the CF fetus, thereby altering the incidence of obstruction in the newborn period. Identification of MSRA as a modifier of MI provides new insight into the biologic mechanism of neonatal intestinal obstruction caused by loss of CFTR function.
The third space between land and water

description: The essay concentrates on the topic of water as a significant presence of natural and urban landscapes starting from its “mutable” and “dynamic” characteristic assumed as a crucial moment in the search for technological solutions regarding the “resilient vision” that conceptually and operationally is changing the consolidated defensive approaches. Going over the idea of the project as a post-catastrophe “restoration”, new hazard-specific site-specific strategies are tracing their way, characterized by the idea of a border as an “interactive edge”, like a third space, defining open and flexible bonds that shape new “Urban porosity”. Waterfronts and quays become resilient spaces capable to adapt and maintain a “dynamic stability” in relation to the natural actions.

ارزیابی تاثیر مقیاس مکان بر شدت دلبستگی به سه مقیاس خانه، محله و شهر بر پایه دو متغیر سن و جنسیت (نمونه موردی: شهرهای تهران و ساری)
Publisher: name: دانشگاه کردستان
Year: 2018

description: دلبستگی به مکان، رابطه عاطفی مثبت میان فرد و مکان است که در شرایط مختلف نسبت به مکان های مختلف شکل\nمیگیرد. افراد ممکن است نسبت به خانه، محله و یا شهری که در آن سا کن هستند، سطوح مختلفی از دلبستگی را داشته\nباشند. عواملی چون ویژگی های ساختاری محیط، جو اجتماعی حا کم بر آن و احساسات و خاطرات یک فرد در آن محیط،\nاز جمله عواملی هستند که بر شدت و یا ضعف این احساس تأثیرگذار میباشند. در همین ارتباط، پژوهش حاضر میزان\nدلبستگی افراد نسبت به سه مقیاس خانه، محله و شهر به عنوان سه مقیاس مکانی تعریف کننده محل زندگی فرد، دلایل\nافزایش و یا کاهش دلبستگی به هر کدام از مقیاسهای یاد شده و تأثیر دو متغیر سن و جنسیت افراد در این خصوص را\nمورد بررسی قرار میدهد. به منظور تدقیق در یافته ها، سا کنان دو شهر تهران و ساری با مقیاس های کالبدی و اجتماعی\nمتفاوت به عنوان نمونه موردی انتخاب گردید که حجم نمونه در شهر تهران شامل  427نفر و در شهر ساری شامل 306\nنفر ارزیابی شد. در چارچوب نظری تدوین شده، عوامل تأثیرگذار بر دلبستگی به سه دسته عوامل کالبدی، اجتماعی و\nاحساسی تقسیم شدند. بر همین اساس سه پرسشنامه مجزا به منظور سنجش میزان دلبستگی افراد نسبت به سه مقیاس\nیاد شده تنظیم و در هر پرسشنامه، عوامل کالبدی، اجتماعی و احساسی که در شکل گیری دلبستگی به مقیاس های مورد\nنظر تأثیرگذارند، مورد سئوال قرار گرفت. داده های حاصل از پیمایش با استفاده از آزمون های تحلیل واریانس بین آزمودنی،\nآزمون اندازههای تکراری و تحلیل واریانس مختلط با کمک نرم افزار اس.پی.اس.اس مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج به دست آمده حاکی\nاز آن بود که شدت دلبستگی افراد نسبت به هر کدام از سه مقیاس مورد نظر برای سا کنان هر دو شهر تهران و ساری، متفاوت\nاز یکدیگر است. در این ارتباط دلبستگی افراد به خانه شان در بالاترین سطح و دلبستگی آنها به محله در پایین ترین سطح\nقرار دارد. همچنین عامل جنسیت در میزان دلبستگی به مقیاس های یاد شده تأثیرگذار نیست؛ این در حالی است که سن\nافراد عاملی تأثیرگذار در دلبستگی آنها به مکان های مورد نظر به شمار میرود

description: We introduce the concept of data-driven finite element methods. These are finite-element discretizations of partial differential equations (PDEs) that resolve quantities of interest with striking accuracy, regardless of the underlying mesh size. The methods are obtained within a machine-learning framework during which the parameters defining the method are tuned against available training data. In particular, we use a stable parametric Petrov-Galerkin method that is equivalent to a minimal-residual formulation using a weighted norm. While the trial space is a standard finite element space, the test space has parameters that are tuned in an off-line stage. Finding the optimal test space therefore amounts to obtaining a goal-oriented discretization that is completely tailored towards the quantity of interest. As is natural in deep learning, we use an artificial neural network to define the parametric family of test spaces. Using numerical examples for the Laplacian and advection equation in one and two dimensions, we demonstrate that the data-driven finite element method has superior approximation of quantities of interest even on very coarse meshes

description: The paper shows the results of an applied research aimed at developing an operative methodology and its corresponding computational workflow for the design of resilient architectures able to responsively react to the variation of the environmental conditions. The proposed methodology consists in a form-searching process built-up by a series of consequential and interrelated phases aimed at reducing the energy needs of the building and improving indoor and outdoor comfort conditions. The analysis of the processes, above defining the limits and potentials of the chosen design approach, opens the debate on parametric tools that allow to systematically explore the space o design possibilities.

description: Majorana representations have been introduced by Ivanov in order to provide an axiomatic framework for studying the actions on the Griess algebra of the Monster and of its subgroups generated by Fischer involutions. A crucial step in this programme is to obtain an explicit description of the Majorana representations of $A_{12}$, for this might eventually lead to a new and independent construction of the Monster group. In this paper we prove that $A_{12}$ has a unique Majorana representation on the set of its involutions of type $2^2$ and $2^6$ (that is the involutions that fall into the class of Fischer involutions when $A_{12}$ is embedded in the Monster) and we determine the degree and the decomposition into irreducibles of such representation. As a consequence we get that Majorana algebras affording a $2A$-representation of $A_{12}$ and of the Harada-Norton sporadic simple group satisfy the Straight Flush Conjecture. As a by-product we also determine the degree and the decomposition into irreducibles of the Majorana representation induced on the $A_8$ subgroup of $A_{12}$. We finally state a conjecture about Majorana representations of the alternating groups $A_n$, $8\leq n\leq 12$.

description: مسئله ارزیابی رویتپذیری و تأثیر بصری (اشراف) یک ساختمان بر بافت اطراف خود یکی از مسائل مهم حوزه منظر شهری\nمحسوب میشود. بر این اساس، در این مقاله رویت پذیری دو ساختمان بلندمرتبه مسکونی در مناطق مرکزی و غرب\nشهر سنندج با دریافت اطلاعات خام ورودی، به کمک سیستم های اطلاعات جغرافیایی (جی.آی.اس)مورد پردازش و تحلیل\nقرار میگیرند. برای بررسی بهتر تفاوت در میزان و روند رویت پذیری، بافت اطراف هر دو ساختمان بلندمرتبه (بافت شماره1\nً نسبتا مسطح و دارای یک رود_دره با عمق کم و بافت شماره 2شیبدار و دارای تپه ماهور) به بخشهای نزدیک، میانی و\nدور حوزه بندی گردیدند. یافته های این تحقیق نشان میدهد، روند رویت ِ پذیری طبقات مختلف این دو ساختمان یک\nروند ثابت و خطی نیست و در برخی طبقات دارای تغییر آهنگ می باشد، بنابراین در این طبقات رویت پذیری و تأثیر و تأثر\nآنها نسبت به بافت اطراف خود در حوزه های سه گانه، مهمتر از بقیه طبقات دیگر می باشند. پس نوع طراحی این طبقات\nخاص (نقاط عطف در منحنی رویت پذیری آنها) نیز در ساختمان های بلندمرتبه میتواند حائز اهمیت باشد؛ همچنین\nروند تغییرات رویت پذیری تمام طبقات و میزان آن در دو ساختمان با بافت های مختلف با هم متفاوت بودند. با ارزیابی\nنمودارهای مربوطه، دلایل این تفاوت در سه مورد مشخص گردید؛ نخست، تفاوت در میانگین ارتفاع ساختمان های بافت\nاطراف دو بنا، دوم، وجود تفاوت در شیب بافت اطراف دو بنا و سوم، وجود تپه ماهورها در بافت شماره .2در نهایت باید\nگفت، تحلیل رویت پذیری روش مؤثری برای تخمین این موضوع می باشد که یک طبقه یا واحد خاص در یک ساختمان\nِ بلندمرتبه بعد از اتمام ساخت دارای دید خوبی خواهد شد یا خیر؛ و ارزشگذاری طبقات در اینگونه ساختمانها به لحاظ\nدید و منظر به چه صورت خواهد بود. همچنین در تصمیم گیریهای مربوط به تعیین ارتفاع ساختمان های بلندمرتبه\nً نسبت به بافت اطراف خود (خصوصا در شهرهای دارای بافتهای باارزش تاریخی و یا دارای منظر توریستی) این مسئله که\nساختمان تا چه میزان رویت پذیر باشد یا نباشد بسیار حائز اهمیت خواهد بود

description: The rapid development of such natural language processing tasks as style transfer, paraphrase, and machine translation often calls for the use of semantic similarity metrics. In recent years a lot of methods to measure the semantic similarity of two short texts were developed. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis for more than a dozen of such methods. Using a new dataset of fourteen thousand sentence pairs human-labeled according to their semantic similarity, we demonstrate that none of the metrics widely used in the literature is close enough to human judgment in these tasks. A number of recently proposed metrics provide comparable results, yet Word Mover Distance is shown to be the most reasonable solution to measure semantic similarity in reformulated texts at the moment.
Urban resilience in the historical centres of Italian cities and towns. Strategies of preventative planning

description: Historical cities and towns are a valid example of resilience in a seismic context, and earthquakes have profoundly influenced their typological and constructional evolution. The improvement of this characteristic depends a great deal on the efficiency of preventative tools. Between state of the art and analytic interpretation, the development of crisis preparation strategies based on the organised knowledge of historical-constructional data and of large scale vulnerability, integrated with an urbanistic/systematic approach at the other end of the scale is proposed. The outcomes give value to two fundamental aspects: on one hand, the rapport between modifications of historical structures and relative seismic vulnerability of the aggregate of the urban fabric, on the other, the definition of priority of constructional and urban intervention.

description: We measure the direct CP-violating parameter A_CP for the decay of the charged charm meson, D+ -> K-pi+pi+ (and charge conjugate), using the full 10.4 fb-1 sample of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We extract the raw reconstructed charge asymmetry by fitting the invariant mass distributions for the sum and difference of charge-specific samples. This quantity is then corrected for detector-related asymmetries using data-driven methods and for possible physics asymmetries (from B -> D processes) using input from Monte Carlo simulation. We measure A_CP = [-0.16 +- 0.15 (stat.) +- 0.09 (syst.)]%, which is consistent with zero, as expected from the standard model prediction of CP conservation, and is the most precise measurement of this quantity to date

description: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is rapidly emerging as a de-facto standard for modelling OO systems. Given this role, it is imperative that the UML needs a well-defined, fully explored semantics. Such semantics is required in order to ensure that UML concepts are precisely stated and defined. In this paper we motivate an approach to formalizing UML in which formal specification techniques are used to gain insight into the semantics of UML notations and diagrams and describe a roadmap for this approach. The authors initiated the Precise UML (PUML) group in order to develop a precise semantic model for UML diagrams. The semantic model is to be used as the basis for a set of diagrammatical transformation rules, which enable formal deductions to be made about UML diagrams. A small example shows how these rules can be used to verify whether one class diagram is a valid deduction of another. Because these rules are presented at the diagrammatical level, it will be argued that UML can be successfully used as a formal modelling tool without the notational complexities that are commonly found in textual specification techniques.

description: In Italian regions regularly affected by disasters and crises in the settlement process, half a century of earthquakes have underscored the acute vulnerability and extended risk exposure of the country’s architectural and urban heritage. On the whole, the greatest damage is found where interventions are incompatible with the technological, typological and morphological components of built fabric in smaller settlements. It is therefore reasonable to ask architecture and arts to commit to improving the resilience of communities settled in the most fragile territories. To be effective and timely this commitment should recover methods used by predecessors and forerunners, rather than be tempted to start from scratch.

description: Creativity is thought to involve searching and selecting amongst multiple discrete idea candidates. Honing theory predicts that it involves actualizing the potentiality of as few as a single ill-defined idea by viewing it from different contexts. This paper reports on a study that tests between these theories. Participants were invited to "Create a painting that expresses yourself in any style that appeals to you", and asked "Were all of your ideas for your painting distinct and separate ideas?" Naive judges were provided with descriptions of the two theories of creativity, sample answers, and practice responses to classify. The judges were significantly more likely to classify the artists' responses as 'H', indicative of honing theory rather than 'S' indicative of a search-select view of creativity.

description: Genetic variants in intron 1 of the fat mass– and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been consistently associated with body mass index (BMI) in Europeans. However, follow-up studies in African Americans (AA) have shown no support for some of the most consistently BMI–associated FTO index single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This is most likely explained by different race-specific linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns and lower correlation overall in AA, which provides the opportunity to fine-map this region and narrow in on the functional variant. To comprehensively explore the 16q12.2/FTO locus and to search for second independent signals in the broader region, we fine-mapped a 646–kb region, encompassing the large FTO gene and the flanking gene RPGRIP1L by investigating a total of 3,756 variants (1,529 genotyped and 2,227 imputed variants) in 20,488 AAs across five studies. We observed associations between BMI and variants in the known FTO intron 1 locus: the SNP with the most significant p-value, rs56137030 (8.3×10−6) had not been highlighted in previous studies. While rs56137030was correlated at r2>0.5 with 103 SNPs in Europeans (including the GWAS index SNPs), this number was reduced to 28 SNPs in AA. Among rs56137030 and the 28 correlated SNPs, six were located within candidate intronic regulatory elements, including rs1421085, for which we predicted allele-specific binding affinity for the transcription factor CUX1, which has recently been implicated in the regulation of FTO. We did not find strong evidence for a second independent signal in the broader region. In summary, this large fine-mapping study in AA has substantially reduced the number of common alleles that are likely to be functional candidates of the known FTO locus. Importantly our study demonstrated that comprehensive fine-mapping in AA provides a powerful approach to narrow in on the functional candidate(s) underlying the initial GWAS findings in European populations.

description: We develop a new method to find the number of volatility regimes in a nonstationary financial time series by applying unsupervised learning to its volatility structure. We use change point detection to partition a time series into locally stationary segments and then compute a distance matrix between segment distributions. The segments are clustered into a learned number of discrete volatility regimes via an optimization routine. Using this framework, we determine a volatility clustering structure for financial indices, large-cap equities, exchange-traded funds and currency pairs. Our method overcomes the rigid assumptions necessary to implement many parametric regime-switching models, while effectively distilling a time series into several characteristic behaviours. Our results provide significant simplification of these time series and a strong descriptive analysis of prior behaviours of volatility. Finally, we create and validate a dynamic trading strategy that learns the optimal match between the current distribution of a time series and its past regimes, thereby making online risk-avoidance decisions in the present.

description: The cultivation terraces that characterise the territory of the Langhe are formed by a sandstone that is brought to light during the burial of the plow in the ground that after being grouped at the edges of the fields, is used to build the retaining walls of the terraces for the vineyard cultivation. The photographic project was born as a path from the natural fault that looks like an archaeological wall with its alternation of horizontal strips of sandstone and sand, to go through views of the landscape designed by the terraces to get to the most minute architecture that uses the same stone (Marco Introini, Pietra di Langa, 2003).

description: Klebsiella species is known as a common pathogen associated with both community- acquired and nosocomial infections. It is also recognized for its ability to develop resistance to antibiotics by the production of β-lactamases which can result in the failure of treatment plans. This study included 100 samples collected from two different farms, two different Abattoirs and a private Medical Centre over a period of one month from March to April, 2022. Samples collected include blood (10), urine (10), poultry dung (40) cattle blood (20), cattle rectal swab (10), goat rectal swab (5), abattoir effluent (5). Samples were cultured and identified by standard methods and confirmed using biochemical test. All isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the disk diffusion method. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that Klebsiella species exhibited increasing multidrug resistance. All isolates exhibited 100% resistance to Penicillin (Ampiclox), Imipenem, Augumetin and Cefuroxime according to CLSI breakpoints. All isolates showed resistance and reduced susceptibility to Penicilin, Augmetin, Cephalosporins and carbapenems respectively. This study revealed a resistance prevalence of 100% for Penicillin, Cephalosporins and Carbapenems among other classes of antibiotics which indicates the increasing development of multidrug resistant pathogens in the environment. Proper prescription and usage of antibiotics is highly recommended.

Subjects: Fire safety engineering

description: Steel structural members exhibit lower fire resistance due to high thermal conductivity, low specific heat, and faster degradation of strength and elastic modulus of steel material with temperature. These structural members are often applied with spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRM) to delay temperature rise in the cross-section. This paper investigates the temperature-dependent thermal properties of gypsum-based Cafco 300 and cement-based Cafco Mandolite CP2 fire protection materials through fire furnace tests of protected beam members under constant loading. These properties are crucial for computational heat transfer models, which are utilized to evaluate the fire resistance of protected steel sections. A total of 3 fire furnace tests are conducted under 3-sided standard fire exposure. The average temperature of steel sections from the experiments are compared against the steel section temperature calculated by Eurocode method for steel profiles insulated by fire protection material. Nonlinear regression and random sampling methods are employed to minimize the residual sum of squares between the experimental and numerical temperature results. The results show that the temperature-dependent conductivity of SFRMs ranged from 0.08 W/(m˚C) to 0.25 W/(m˚C) with increasing temperature. The specific heat did not have a significant effect on the section temperature development and therefore kept temperature-independent at 1100 J/(kg˚C). The experimental results are closely captured by using the estimated temperature-dependent SFRM conductivity curves.

description: Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ has drawn much attention as the leading candidate to be the first topological superconductor and the realization of coveted Majorana particles in a condensed matter system. However, there has been increasing controversy about the nature of its superconducting phase. This study sheds light on present ambiguity in the normal state electronic state, by providing a complete look at the quantum oscillations in magnetization in Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ at intense high fields up to 31T. Our study focuses on the angular dependence of the quantum oscillation pattern in a low carrier concentration. As magnetic field tilts from along the crystalline c-axis to ab-plane, the change of the oscillation period follows the prediction of the ellipsoidal Fermi surface. As the doping level changes, the 3D Fermi surface is found to transform into quasi-cylindrical at high carrier density. Such a transition is potentially a Lifshitz transition of the electronic state in Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$.

description: Recent results indicate that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to explain much of the heritability of common complex phenotypes, but methods are lacking to reliably identify the remaining associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We applied stratified False Discovery Rate (sFDR) methods to leverage genic enrichment in GWAS summary statistics data to uncover new loci likely to replicate in independent samples. Specifically, we use linkage disequilibrium-weighted annotations for each SNP in combination with nominal p-values to estimate the True Discovery Rate (TDR = 1−FDR) for strata determined by different genic categories. We show a consistent pattern of enrichment of polygenic effects in specific annotation categories across diverse phenotypes, with the greatest enrichment for SNPs tagging regulatory and coding genic elements, little enrichment in introns, and negative enrichment for intergenic SNPs. Stratified enrichment directly leads to increased TDR for a given p-value, mirrored by increased replication rates in independent samples. We show this in independent Crohn's disease GWAS, where we find a hundredfold variation in replication rate across genic categories. Applying a well-established sFDR methodology we demonstrate the utility of stratification for improving power of GWAS in complex phenotypes, with increased rejection rates from 20% in height to 300% in schizophrenia with traditional FDR and sFDR both fixed at 0.05. Our analyses demonstrate an inherent stratification among GWAS SNPs with important conceptual implications that can be leveraged by statistical methods to improve the discovery of loci.

description: We present a generalized frequency redistribution function for the polarized two-term atom in an arbitrary magnetic field. This result is derived within a new formulation of the quantum problem of coherent scattering of polarized radiation by atoms in the collisionless regime. The general theory, which is based on a diagrammatic treatment of the atom-photon interaction, is still work in progress. However, the results anticipated here are relevant enough for the study of the magnetism of the solar chromosphere and of interest for astrophysics in general.

description: How non-coding DNA gives rise to new protein-coding genes (de novo genes) is not well understood. Recent work has revealed the origins and functions of a few de novo genes, but common principles governing the evolution or biological roles of these genes are unknown. To better define these principles, we performed a parallel analysis of the evolution and function of six putatively protein-coding de novo genes described in Drosophila melanogaster. Reconstruction of the transcriptional history of de novo genes shows that two de novo genes emerged from novel long non-coding RNAs that arose at least 5 MY prior to evolution of an open reading frame. In contrast, four other de novo genes evolved a translated open reading frame and transcription within the same evolutionary interval suggesting that nascent open reading frames (proto-ORFs), while not required, can contribute to the emergence of a new de novo gene. However, none of the genes arose from proto-ORFs that existed long before expression evolved. Sequence and structural evolution of de novo genes was rapid compared to nearby genes and the structural complexity of de novo genes steadily increases over evolutionary time. Despite the fact that these genes are transcribed at a higher level in males than females, and are most strongly expressed in testes, RNAi experiments show that most of these genes are essential in both sexes during metamorphosis. This lethality suggests that protein coding de novo genes in Drosophila quickly become functionally important.

description: Data centers are large scale, energy-hungry infrastructure serving the increasing computational demands as the world is becoming more connected in smart cities. The emergence of advanced technologies such as cloud-based services, internet of things (IoT) and big data analytics has augmented the growth of global data centers, leading to high energy consumption. This upsurge in energy consumption of the data centers not only incurs the issue of surging high cost (operational and maintenance) but also has an adverse effect on the environment. Dynamic power management in a data center environment requires the cognizance of the correlation between the system and hardware level performance counters and the power consumption. Power consumption modeling exhibits this correlation and is crucial in designing energy-efficient optimization strategies based on resource utilization. Several works in power modeling are proposed and used in the literature. However, these power models have been evaluated using different benchmarking applications, power measurement techniques and error calculation formula on different machines. In this work, we present a taxonomy and evaluation of 24 software-based power models using a unified environment, benchmarking applications, power measurement technique and error formula, with the aim of achieving an objective comparison. We use different servers architectures to assess the impact of heterogeneity on the models' comparison. The performance analysis of these models is elaborated in the paper.

description: Recent experimental progresses allow for exploring some important physical quantities of ultracold Fermi gases, such as the compressibility, spin susceptibility, viscosity, optical conductivity and spin diffusivity. Theoretically, these quantities can be evaluated from suitable linear response theories. For BCS superfluid, it has been found that the gauge invariant linear response theories can be fully consistent with some stringent consistency constraints. When the theory is generalized to stronger-than-BCS regime, one may meet serious difficulties to satisfy the gauge invariance conditions. In this paper, we try to construct density and spin linear response theories which are formally gauge invariant for a Fermi gas undergoing BCS-Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) crossover, especially below the superfluid transition temperature $T_c$. We adapt a particular $t$-matrix approach which is close to the $G_0G$ formalism to incorporate non-condensed pairing in the normal state. We explicitly show that the fundamental constraints imposed by the Ward identities, $Q$-limit Ward identity are indeed satisfied.
