Bursectomizing small bursa line birds produced susceptibility to Mycoplasma synoviae. This suggested that M. synoviae is B cell dependent, but does not rule out a T cell effect.

The CLSI reduced the cefepime Enterobacteriaceae susceptibility breakpoint and introduced the susceptible-dose-dependent (S-DD) category. In this study, MICs were determined for a Gram-negative collection to assess the impact of this change. For Enterobacteriaceae, this resulted in <2% reduction in susceptibility, with 1% being S-DD. If applied to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the % susceptibility (%...

Based on protein structural ensembles determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, we study the position fluctuations of residues by calculating distance-dependent correlations and conducting finite-size scaling analysis. The fluctuations exhibit high susceptibility and long-range correlations up to the protein sizes. The scaling relations between the correlations or susceptibility and protein siz...

We investigate the nonlinear susceptibility of noble gas atom interacting with intense laser field. The solution is obtained by solving the time dependent Schrödinger equation. It is shown that the behavior of nonlinear susceptibility strongly depends on the intensity; it increases almost linearly in low intensity regime, then becomes saturated at higher intensity. Furthermore it is also shown ...
