45. Our normalization of the quark number susceptibilities differs from that used in studies of two-flavor QCD and in our earlier reports on this work. In our present notation χI,I = χNS/4 and χB+(1/2)Y,B+(1/2)Y = χS/4, where χNS and χS are commonly referred to as the nonsinglet and singlet susceptibilities.
