The reliability of the bacitracin inhibition test to differentiate between 125 Lancefield group A and 122 non-group A beta-haemolytic streptococci was studied. Bacitracin discs containing 0-02, 0-04, or 0-1 international units and the conditions recommended by both the Association of Clinical Pathologists and the Federal Drug Administration for routine sensitivity testing were used. The results...

In this paper energy method is used to calculate rotor response with loose rotating disk on it. System equation of motion is obtained based on energy method and Lagrange equation. Mathematical modeling of loose disk in a rotor bearing system has resulted in terms similar to unbalance and gyroscopic effect in the system equation of motion. The effect of loose disk axial position and orthotropic ...

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the causative agent in 2–7% of all urinary tract infections (UTI), including asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB), cystitis, and pyelonephritis. We used bacteriological quantitative method sowing urine samples pregnant women on Columbia agar with 5% lamb blood), Strepto chromogenic Todd Hewitt broth, identification GBS strains determination sensitivity to bacitracin, hip...

Let $C_0(alpha)$ denote the class of concave univalent functions defined in the open unit disk $mathbb{D}$. Each function $f in C_{0}(alpha)$ maps the unit disk $mathbb{D}$ onto the complement of an unbounded convex set. In this paper, we study the mapping properties of this class under integral operators.

a disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curve is a wang-bézier type generalized ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. it can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. in this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curve, that is, bounding disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curves with lower degree disk wang-b...

Antibiotic-mediated changes to the intestinal microbiome have largely been assumed to be the basis of antibiotic-induced neurophysiological and behavioral changes. However, relatively little research has addressed whether antibiotics act directly on the host nervous system to produce these changes. We aimed to identify whether acute exposure of the gastrointestinal tract to antibiotics directly...

In this paper, a radially piezoelectric functionally graded rotating disk is investigated by the analytical solution. The variation of material properties is assumed to follow a power law along the radial direction of the disk. Two resulting fully coupled differential equations in terms of the displacement and electric potential are solved directly. Numerical results for different profiles of i...
