Static Aeroelastic Characteristics of Morphing Trailing-Edge Wing Using Geometrically Exact Vortex Lattice Method by Sen Mao, Changchuan Xie, Lan Yang, Chao Yang

“…The results indicate that the geometrically exact VLM can better describe the aerodynamic nonlinearity of a morphing TE wing in consideration of geometrical deformation in aeroelastic analysis. Moreover, out of consideration of the angle of attack, the deflection angle of the trailing edge, among others, the wing system does not show divergence but bifurcation. …”

Ultrastructural Changes in Clinical and Microbiota Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae Carriers of Genes blaSHV, blaTEM, blaCTX-M, or blaKPC When Subject to β-Lactam Antibiotics by Dyana Leal Veras, Ana Catarina de Souza Lopes, Grasielle Vaz da Silva, Gabriel Gazzoni Araújo Gonçalves, Catarina Fernandes de Freitas, Fernanda Cristina Gomes de Lima, Maria Amélia Vieira Maciel, Ana Paula Sampaio Feitosa, Luiz Carlos Alves, Fábio André Brayner

“…The K. pneumoniae isolates showed different morphological and ultrastructural changes after subjection to β-lactams tested at different concentrations, such as cell filamentation, loss of cytoplasmic material, and deformation of dividing septa. Our results demonstrate that K. pneumoniae isolates harboring different genes that encode for β-lactamases show cell alterations when subjected to different β-lactam antibiotics, thus suggesting that they possess residual activity in vitro, despite the phenotypic resistance presented in the isolates analyzed.…”
