The Finnis-Sinclair type potentials (Finnis and Sinclair 1984) are central-force potentials but have a many-body character in that the energy of a system of particles is not merely a sum of pair interactions between individual atoms. In this scheme, modified for binary alloys by Ackland and Vitek (1990), the total energy of a system of N atoms is written as...

A short report demonstrated the absence of a reliable correlation between kiUing kinetics and normal laboratory tests for pristinamycin susceptibility testing of some pneumococci (42). Eight selected multiresistant clinical isolates and two reference pristinamycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains were studied. Disk diffusion susceptibility and MICs were determined by the agar dilution method, and all clinical isolates appeared to be susceptible to pristinamycin, whereas the two reference strains were not. In contrast, time-kill experiments identified a limited bactericidal effect of pristinamycin in three clinical and both reference strains. These three strains had been classified as pristinamycin-resistant by the Vitek-II system, which uses a kinetic turbidimetric measurement of bacterial growth. Epidemiological information is hindered by the use of highly selected strains for the study. 

For the Ti-Al system the pair potentials V iTi -n-n slightly modified potentials originally constructed for the pure Ti (Ackland 1992) and Vaiai and 4>aiai are potentials that have been used in studies of Ni-Al cdloys (Vitek, et al. 1991). As suggested by Ackland and Vitek (1990) is t en as...
