description: La formazione rappresenta uno strumento basilare nella promozione della lingua e della cultura italiana. L’argomento è articolato e complesso perché abbraccia diverse questioni. Da un lato va sostenuto l’utilizzo di mezzi adeguati, come quello telematico, che favoriscono e facilitano la diffusione all’estero. Dall’altro la proposta didattica di università e scuole deve essere riorganizzata alla luce delle nuove esigenze formative. Il ruolo degli atenei italiani potrebbe diventare più incisivo se si adeguassero maggiormente agli standard esteri, in modo da favorire la circolazione di studenti anche verso e non soltanto dall’Italia. Per quanto riguarda, invece, il tipo di formazione da sostenere, va riqualificata quella umanistica e tradizionale, non perché rappresenti la cultura nella sua totalità ma perché costituisce un patrimonio che caratterizza il nostro paese e non deve andare perso. Abbiamo parlato di queste tematiche con il Professor Roberto Greci, Preside della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università di Parma e Presidente del Consiglio scientifico e didattico del Consorzio Interuniversitario ICoN, Italian Culture On the Net.     The role of training in the promotion of Italian language and culture. An interview with Professor Roberto Greci, Dean of the Literature and Philosophy Faculty at the University of Parma   Training represents a basic tool in promoting Italian language and culture.  The topic is complex because it encompasses diverse issues.  On the one hand appropriate means are needed, like telematic resources, which encourage and facilitate spreading abroad.  On the other, university and school courses need to be reorganized in light of the new training needs.  The role of Italian universities could to be stronger if they met foreign standards, to promote the circulation of students towards and not just away from Italy.  As far as regards the type of training to be undertaken, the humanistic, traditional approach needs to be requalified, not because it represents culture in its entirety but because it is a patrimony which characterizes ou country and should not be lost.  We talked about these topics with Professor Roberto Greci, Dean of the Literature and Philosophy Faculty at the University of Parma and President of the Scientific and Didactic Committee of the inter-university Consortium ICoN, Italian Culture On the Net.

Computable function

description: The concept of a computable function is quite a well-studied one, however, it is possible to capture certain important properties of computability categorically. A special type of category used for this purpose is called a Turing category. This thesis starts with a brief overview of Turing categories, followed by a study of additional categorical structure they may contain, based on the types of structure found in the world of computable functions, and how this is reflected in the underlying combinatorial structures.

description: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative vascular disease involving focal dilation of the abdominal aorta (≥3 cm) that can lead to lethal rupture. The condition affects up to 3% of adults over the age of 65 years and no proven pharmacological treatments exist to alter the natural history of progressive expansion over time. In aneurysmal degeneration, immune-inflammatory responses and aberrant redox status initiate molecular events that culminate in destructive remodeling of aortic connective tissue. While the mechanisms underlying these changes remain incompletely understood, preclinical evidence from AAA rodent models suggests treatment strategies targeting vascular inflammation are likely to yield improvements that reduce or attenuate AAA growth. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are well documented to downregulate multiple aspects of the inflammatory process and to quench injury- and infection-induced inflammatory conditions. The potential of these fatty acids to prevent and/or improve adverse outcomes associated with impaired redox balance and disturbed antioxidant status is a new area of investigation that, in conjunction with their anti-inflammatory and pro-resolution properties adds plausibility to their proposed use as an adjunct therapy in AAA. This research thus aimed to evaluate the impact of physiologically appropriate n-3 PUFA supplementation on cellular antioxidant defence in patients diagnosed with small AAA.
PER UN APPROCCIO VARIETISTICO ALL’INSEGNAMENTO DELL’ITALIANO A STRANIERI

description: L’insegnamento della lingua italiana ha proposto per lungo tempo lo studio della lingua letteraria e della grammatica normativa, che davano l’idea di una lingua stabile, monolitica, invariata nel tempo, nello spazio e nelle diverse situazioni comunicative. Oggi, da alcuni anni, si è spostato il fuoco dell’attenzione da una grammatica prescrittiva ad una descrittiva, mentre l’approccio grammaticale si è arricchito di una prospettiva sociolinguistica, adatta a favorire l’acquisizione della lingua e delle sue varietà in relazione alle loro differenti funzioni, cercando di rispondere, anche in ambito scolastico, ai bisogni linguistici reali di chi si accinge ad affrontare lo studio dell’italiano, immerso nella realtà linguistica del nostro paese. In questa sede si esaminano la lingua italiana e le sue varietà (diatopiche, diafasiche¸ diastratiche, diamesiche) in modo da fornire indicazioni sulla scelta e la selezione dei fenomeni da segnalare per un approccio varietistico che consenta allo straniero di diventare “padrone della nostra lingua”, in un percorso articolato, che tenga conto degli effettivi bisogni linguistico-comunicativi.  Si cerca, inoltre, di dare alcune indicazioni didattiche su strumenti e metodi che prevedono l’utilizzazione e l’analisi di testi autentici.     For a varietistic approach to the teaching of italian to foreigners   For a long time, the teaching of Italian involved the study of literary language and normative grammar, suggesting it was a stable, monolithic, language, unchanging in time, space and in different communicative situations. In recent years, the focus has switched from  prescriptive to  descriptive grammar, while the grammar approach has been enriched by a sociolinguistic perspective. This has promoted functional language learning,  in an attempt to respond to the real linguistic needs of Italian language learners immersed in the linguistic reality of our country. In this article Italian language and its varieties are examined (diatopic, diaphasic, diastratic, diamesic) so as furnish guidelines for the choice and screening of the phenomenon, to support a varietistic approach that leads foreigners to become “experts in Italian language”, always taking account of students’ real linguistic-communicative needs. A few didactic guidelines regarding tools and methods for the use and analysis of real texts are given.

The knowledge of 'self' from the Bhagavad-Gita and its significance for human capital development
Creators: name: Satpathy, Biswajit

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores the perspective of self knowledge from the Bhagavad-Gita and its significance to human capital development. A review of literature in this field shows that several studies have been done in the area of human capital development from various perspectives; however very few have been done to integrate the Bhagavad-Gita and self knowledge. As a result, this paper not only fills the gap in the literature of human capital development, but also provides some significance and insights on human capital development from the ancient Indian philosophical perspective. Chinmayananda asserted that from time to time an ancient philosophy like the Bhagavad-Gita needs intelligent re-interpretation to apply effectively in the context of modern times. This paper is based on literature review and hermeneutics, a qualitative research methodology which involves study, understanding and interpretation of ancient or classical text. The Bhagavad-Gita is more than 5,000 years old and is written in Sanskrit language. In a nutshell, the Bhagavad-Gita provides an inside-out approach to human capital development unlike the outside-in western perspective.

description: HPV vaccination schedules have changed as evidence has supported reduced dosing and extended intervals. Women living with HIV (WLWH) represent an important population with no data on alternative dosing. Girls and WLWH received quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine in a pan-Canadian study of immunogenicity and efficacy. Serology was performed at months 0/2/7/12/18/24. Medical and sexual history was collected throughout. Linear regression was used to determine if spacing of doses was associated with peak antibody titer. Multivariable analyses demonstrated significant relationships between peak antibody titer and time to blood draw post last vaccine dose, naivety to the relevant HPV type, and HIV viral load for all qHPV types. There was a significant relationship between peak HPV16/18 antibody titer and age. Taking age, time to serology, CD4 cell count, CD4 nadir, HIV viral load, and HPV naivety into account, spacing of the three qHPV vaccine doses did not significantly impact peak antibody titers.

description: The world's population is aging rapidly, the percentage of older adults1 was 10% in 20002 and will increase to 24% in 2030. This phenomenon has several impacts on the economic and social dimensions of developed countries. One aspect of this growth is the shortage in the number of professional caregivers in forthcoming years. Also, it is very likely that involved countries will encounter financial hardships due to the unbalanced number of caregivers that are unable to respond to the increasing cost of providing proper care for older adults of society (Bemelmans, Gelderblom, Jonker, & De Witte, 2012). Feeling lonely has some negative impacts on older adults including, but not limited to, cognitive functions (Cacioppo & Hawkley, 2009; Shankar, McMunn, Banks, & Steptoe, 2011), bad sleeping patterns, deteriorating physical condition and low energy level during the day (Hawkley, Preacher, & Cacioppo, 2010), high or low blood pressure (Hawkley, Thisted, Masi, & Cacioppo, 2010) and mental health issues (Wilson et al., 2007). Older adults can experience loneliness due to the loss of partners and friends, and therefore may become socially isolated and frustrated because of limited social connections.

description: "In seeing what picture makers can make of situational materials one can begin to see what we ourselves might be engaged in doing" (Goffman, 1979). Les dernières décennies ont été marquées par d'importants changements dans les rôles traditionnels des hommes ainsi que par une explosion de l’offre commerciale qui leur est offerte. Alors que l'industrie des médias utilise des stratégies multiples pour façonner l'identité de genre et les intérêts des consommateurs, il est pertinent d'examiner la représentation de la masculinité moderne dans les médias. L’hypothèse de cette recherche est que les magazines masculins généralistes projettent une image stéréotypée, monochrome et hégémonique de la masculinité, et ce, indépendamment du segment de la population qu’ils visent. À partir d’éléments empruntés à la théorie du marketing, d’éléments archétypaux de Jung, des codes du genre développés par Goffman, ainsi que de certains concepts associés à la masculinité hégémonique définis chez Bourdieu et Connell, une analyse de 72 pages couverture provenant de 12 magazines pour hommes a été effectuée. À quelques exceptions près, l’étude a démontré une homogénéité du message commercial dans la communication des attributs de la masculinité. Ces attributs forment un idéal type qui représente diverses variantes de la masculinité hégémonique. Le portrait type de la masculinité offert aux différents profils sociodémographiques est celui d’un homme caucasien fort, rebelle, consommateur d’alcool et de femmes, qui a réussi et qui prend soin de lui-même, tout en ayant une vision (plutôt) négative de la paternité. Cette valorisation stéréotypée de la masculinité a des effets pervers sur la santé des hommes, alors que l’image commerciale de la masculinité normalise l’objectivation du corps masculin. La recherche conclut que la commercialisation de la masculinité et de ses attributs esthétiques, stéréotypés et hégémoniques globalise l’idéal masculin en le rendant attrayant pour le grand public, alors que peu de place est laissée à des masculinités alternatives et à d'autres façons de comprendre et d'être un homme.

description: In a world rife with disruption and exponentially more complex challenges, the support of future-fit leadership capabilities requires an evolution of leadership programs: from knowledge transfer (horizontal development) to transforming mindsets and worldviews (vertical development). This study explored the mechanisms of vertical development and their implications for leadership learning and program design. The core research question was: How do leaders experience vertical development during an executive leadership program?
description: A dual conceptual framework informed the research: transformative learning (Mälkki, 2019; Mezirow, 2008) and constructive developmentalism (Cook-Greuter, 2011; Kegan & Lahey, 2009; Torbert & Taylor, 2008) – both applied to leadership development. The first was chosen for its practical applications for leadership program design, and the latter for its perspectives on the continuum of adult development, its stages, and mechanisms for growth. The study aimed to link transformative learning and constructive developmentalism to better understand leaders’ vertical development and how to best support it through leadership programs.

description: How does the credibility we attribute to media sources influence our opinions and judgments derived from news? Participants read headlines about the social behavior of depicted unfamiliar persons from websites of trusted or distrusted well-known German news media. As a consequence, persons paired with negative or positive headlines were judged more negative or positive than persons associated with neutral information independent of source credibility. Likewise, electrophysiological signatures of slow and controlled evaluative brain activity revealed a dominant influence of emotional headline contents regardless of credibility. Modulations of earlier brain responses associated with arousal and reflexive emotional processing show an effect of negative news and suggest that distrusted sources may even enhance the impact of negative headlines. These findings demonstrate that though we may have distinct perceptions about the credibility of media sources, information processing and social judgments rely on the emotional content of headlines, even when they stem from sources we distrust.

description: Muslims have the starring role in the mass media’s curriculum on otherness, which circulates in-between local and global contexts to powerfully constitute subjectivities. This study inquires into what it is like to be a female, Muslim student in Ontario, in this post 9/11 discursive context. Seven young Muslim women share stories of their high schooling experiences and their sense of identity in interviews and focus group sessions. They also respond to images of Muslim females in the print media, offering perspectives on the intersections of visual media discourses with their lived experience. This interdisciplinary project draws from cultural studies, postcolonial feminist theory, and post-reconceptualist curriculum theorizing. Working with auto/ethno/graphy, my own subjectivity is also brought into the study to trouble researcher-as-knower and acknowledge that personal histories are implicated in larger social, cultural, and historical processes. Using bricolage, I compose a hybrid text with multiple layers of meaning by juxtapositing theory, image, and narrative, leaving spaces for the reader’s own biography to become entangled with what is emerging in the text. Issues raised include veiling obsession, Islamophobia, absences in the school curriculum, and mass media as curriculum. Muslim females navigate a complex discursive terrain and their identity negotiations are varied. These include creating Muslim spaces in their schools, wearing hijab to assert their Muslim identity, and downplaying their religious identity at school. I argue for the need to engage students and teacher candidates in complicated conversations on difference via auto/ethno/graphy, pedagogies of tension, and epistemologies of doubt. Educators and researchers might also consider the possibilities of linking visual media literacy with social justice issues.

description: Il presente contributo si propone di sviluppare una riflessione sulla scrittura professionale in contesti educativi. Punto di partenza è un’attenta analisi della natura della scrittura professionale attraverso le varie definizioni offerte da diversi contesti professionali e formativi. Primo risultato di questa riflessione è un tentativo di sistematizzazione, attraverso la proposta di un modello delle possibili scritture professionali, all’interno del quale è possibile collocare anche le scritture educative. Queste ultime sono analizzate da un lato richiamando la differenza tra scrittura sulla pratica professionale  e scrittura  per la pratica professionale; dall’altro ponendo l’accento sulla importanza della scrittura per la rielaborazione dell’esperienza, anche in una chiave di formazione di  insegnanti ed educatori, professionisti riflessivi.        Professional writing in educational contexts   This paper considers professional writing in educational contexts. The starting point is a rigorous analysis of the nature of professional writing based on the various definitions offered by educational and professional contexts. The first results suggest that we can systematize various definitions using a possible model for professional writing, in which educational writing falls. We analyze educational writing on the one hand keeping in mind the difference between writing on and for work; on the other, emphasizing the importance of writing for the reworking of professional experience. This is particularly important for teachers and educators as reflective practitioners.

description: Pregnancy abdominal examination is a hallmark of midwifery practice that requires considerable dexterity to master. The realities of becoming competent in this routine midwifery practice are elusive in the midwifery literature. This mixed methods study explored the student midwife experience of developing skills in the performance of a pregnancy abdominal examination. Data collection for the Phase One section of the study involved conducting semi-structured interviews with six experienced registered midwives, exploring their reality of supervising student midwives performing a pregnancy abdominal examination. Using thematic analysis, the findings drove the design of a self-completion survey for Phase Two of the study. In total, 23 student midwives described their knowledge growth in the performance of a pregnancy abdominal examination. The study identified an important connection between tacit knowledge development and competency growth in the performance of this procedure. A conceptual model was devised from the quantitative and qualitative findings, where it was proposed that tacit knowledge is embedded in experience, multi-sensory integration, palpatory literacy and the 'know-how' and support of midwife preceptors. The study raises important issues for practice by demonstrating the multi-faceted learning strategies that are fundamental for student midwives' cognitive skill development of a mandated competency. Application of any research recommendations requires a collective approach with stakeholders, to integrate effective teaching and learning strategies to support student knowledge growth. The study acknowledges the need for further empirical research, to understand knowledge growth over the progression of midwifery courses as well as the mechanisms which support practical skill learning and multi-sensory perception.
Quantifying Vein Patterns in Growing Leaves

Subjects: growth

description: How patterns arise from an apparently uniform group of cells is one of the classical problems in developmental biology. The mechanism is complicated by the fact that patterning occurs on a growing medium. Therefore, changes in an organism’s size and shape affect the patterning processes. In turn, patterning itself may affect growth. This interaction between growth and patterning leads to the generation of complex shapes and structures from simpler ones. Studying such interactions requires the possibility to monitor both processes in vivo. To this end, we developed a new technique to monitor and quantify vein patterning in a growing leaf over time using the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system. We used a transgenic line with fluorescent markers associated with the venation. Individual leaves are followed in many samples in vivo through time-lapse imaging. Custom-made software allowed us to extract the leaf surface and vein pattern from images of each leaf at each time point. Then average spatial maps from multiple samples that were generated revealed spatio-temporal gradients. Our quantitative description of wild type vein patterns during leaf development revealed that there is no constant size at which a part of tissue enclosed by vasculature will become irrigated by a new vein. Instead, it seemed that vein formation depends on the growth rate of the tissue. This is the first time that vein patterning in growing leaves was quantified. The techniques developed will later be used to explore the interaction between growth and patterning through a variety of approaches, including mutant analysis, pharmacological treatments and variation of environmental conditions.

description: A main source of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) residues in agricultural plants is their uptake from contaminated soil. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) can be an important tool to derive recommendations for cultivation or handling of crops prior consumption. This review compiles >4500 soil-to-plant BAFs for 45 PFASs from 24 studies involving 27 genera of agricultural crops. Grasses (Poaceae) provided most BAFs with the highest number of values for perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid. Influencing factors on PFAS transfer like compound-specific properties (hydrophobicity, chain length, functional group, etc.), plant species, compartments, and other boundary conditions are critically discussed. Throughout the literature, BAFs were higher for vegetative plant compartments than for reproductive and storage organs. Decreasing BAFs per additional perfluorinated carbon were clearly apparent for aboveground parts (up to 1.16 in grains) but not always for roots (partly down to zero). Combining all BAFs per single perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid (C4-C14) and sulfonic acid (C4-C10), median log BAFs decreased by -0.25(+/-0.029) and -0.24(+/-0.013) per fluorinated carbon, respectively. For the first time, the plant uptake of ultra-short-chain (= C3) perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) was reviewed and showed a ubiquitous occurrence of trifluoroacetic acid in plants independent from the presence of other PFAAs. Based on identified knowledge gaps, it is suggested to focus on the uptake of precursors to PFAAs, PFAAs = C3, and additional emerging PFASs such as GenX or fluorinated ethers in future research. Studies regarding the uptake of PFASs by sugar cane, which accounts for about one fifth of the global crop production, are completely lacking and are also recommended. Furthermore, aqueous soil leachates should be tested as an alternative to the solvent extraction of soils as a base for BAF calculations. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

description: Optical backscattering (OBS) signal values were used to evaluate the flocculation of kaolin slurries and seek the implications of using seawater. Two anionic flocculants were applied to kaolin suspensions at several dosages and in water of varying pH and electrolyte concentration. An OBS height scan method was used to estimate the degree of aggregation, supernatant quality, and solids concentration of the sediments. The residual solids of the supernatant depended of the extent of particle coagulation before flocculant was added, where the pH and salinity displayed a significant impact on flocculation. The OBS results were highly sensitive to the presence of fine particles, which was estimated in parallel from the focused beam reflectance measurements (FBRM.) In seawater, without flocculant added, the samples had increased root-mean-square scattering (Frms) values and larger final sediment volume than samples prepared in water with lower electrolyte concentration. This indicates a higher initial state of aggregation of the particles in seawater. Then, the aggregation degree was best linked to the square-weighted chord length distribution of the FBRM data, which intensifies the sensitivity to coarse aggregates.

The effects of leg cycling training on lactate threshold and maximal oxygen consumption measured during leg cycling and arm cranking exercise.
Creators: name: Saumure, Nancy E.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if the training effects on lactate threshold (LT) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO$\sb2$max) are specific to musculature involved in training or if there is evidence of a general training effect, such that adaptations are also found during exercise with untrained muscle groups. Seven moderately active male students participated in an eight week progressive endurance training program that involved leg cycling at specific intensities above and below the pre-training LT to give a total of 30 minutes of training above LT three times per week. All subjects were tested before and after training for LT and VO$\sb2$max while performing leg cycling and arm cranking exercises. VO$\sb2$max showed a significant increase during both leg cycling and arm cranking exercise following training. Conversely, increases in both absolute and relative LT were confined to leg cycling exercise only. It is suggested that peripheral adaptive responses of oxidative capacity within the trained muscles are primarily responsible for the specificity of the LT response, while cardiovascular adaptations were beneficial to VO$\sb2$max of both of the muscle groups tested. Furthermore, the significant improvement in relative LT during leg cycling and of VO$\sb2$max to both arm and leg exercise suggests that adaptive responses of LT and VO$\sb2$max to training are not governed by the same physiological processes. Therefore, it was concluded that, for the conditions of this experiment, the concept of specificity of training applies to LT but not to VO$\sb2$max when comparing exercise modalities which involve separate musculature.

description: This thesis examines the everyday experiences of Anglophone communities in three different regions of Quebec – the Gaspésie, Gatineau and Eastern Townships – with the aim to understand their sense of place. Specifically, the focus is on the role of different geographic contexts on everyday access to social services, particularly healthcare, and how these experiences contribute to Anglophones’ place attachment. Data collection involved semi-structured personal interviews with ten participants in each region. Comparative analysis yielded three main findings: (1) issues with accessing healthcare in English reinforces Anglophones’ minority status; (2) in spite of the challenges faced as a linguistic minority, Anglophones demonstrate a strong sense of place to their region; and (3) feelings of home, heritage, and rootedness constitute elements in Anglophones’ place attachment and contribute to their sense of place in Quebec. The study also concludes that age, mobility, and location are important variables in influencing everyday experiences in each of the three regions.
A multi-perspective investigation of community pharmacy as a setting for public health nutrition intervention among ante & post-natal women

description: Public health nutrition (PHN) as a discipline aims to improve nutrition-related outcomes for population groups and increasing morbidity-free life years. Optimising nutritional health and wellbeing among mothers and their infants is a priority for PHN as evidence demonstrates both short and long term influence on health. Settings based intervention approaches offer a holistic approach to addressing multiple determinants of health and wellbeing. The community pharmacy (CP) is an accessible, conveniently located and widely utilised health care settings and therefore may be a potential setting for PHN intervention. The aim of the research undertaken in this thesis was to explore community pharmacy as a potential setting for public health nutrition intervention particularly among pregnant women and new mothers. Given the exploratory nature of this research a qualitative approach was undertaken based on an action research approach which positions research as informed inquiry focused on social change. The research was underpinned by assumptions regarding the complexity of practice, the role of context in developing understanding to inform action and the need for multiplicity of perspectives to enhance and deepen the investigation. Four key sources of knowledge were investigated - research literature, interventionists, mothers and public health nutritionists. Each source was explored using qualitative questioning, and a critical perspective seeking to question taken for granted ways of practicing and knowing.
Structure of the insecticidal crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-73.

description: The structure of the DNA-protein complex in the insecticidal crystals produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-73 was investigated. The role of DNA in the activation mechanism of the crystals was determined by monitoring the fate of the DNA and protein during the activation process with gut juice enzymes from spruce budworm, Choristeneura fumiferana. The results demonstrate that the DNA is co-processed with the protein, giving rise to novel DNA-protein complexes as intermediates. The role of the DNA appears to be mainly structural, providing a framework for the sequestering of the protein into the crystal. Based on the results obtained, a structural model for the arrangement of the DNA-protein complex is proposed. An activation model is also proposed, which accounts for the processing of the DNA and protein components of the crystals. The model offers explanations for the unusual mechanism of proteolytic activation of the Bt crystal protein. The sunlight inactivation (photo-inactivation) of Bt crystals was studied by UV-irradiation studies. The results of these studies suggest that the photo-inactivation is due to the formation of covalent linkages between the DNA and crystal protein. UV irradiation at 302 nm for 8 hours was sufficient to cause the total loss of biological activity of the crystals. Incorporation of water-soluble antioxidants into crystal preparations inhibits the photo-inactivation reaction. Ascorbic acid was found to be an effective antioxidant and inhibited the photo-inactivation of Bt crystals. In the presence of ascorbic acid, the toxicity of the irradiated crystals did not decrease significantly under the same conditions and the retention of toxicity is estimated to be approximately one order of magnitude longer than unprotected crystals. The inactivation of crystals was inducible in the presence of a free-radical generator, suggesting that a free-radical mechanism is responsible for the photo-inactivation of the crystals. A highly sensitive method has been developed for the determination of the C-terminal sequence of proteins. The C-terminal sequence of chymotrypsin was determined using this methodology. C-terminal peptides from ribonuclease and from the crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-73 were also isolated using this procedure.
