The lepidopteran-specific, insecticidal crystal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis vary in toxicity to different species of lepidopteran larvae. We report studies of CryIA(a) and CryIA(c), two related proteins that have different degrees of toxicity to Heliothis virescens yet very similar degrees of toxicity to Manduca sexta. The amino acid differences between these proteins are located primari...

s of papers 25 and β-glucanase, except a low level of α-amylase activity (85,000 U/gm vs. 19,000,000 U/gm pure α-amylase). Results of chick growth at 21 d showed positive (P < 0.05) main effects of CP level and enzyme supplementation on BW and FCR. Birds receiving diets with higher CP content had higher BW (800 gm at 23% vs. 722 gm at 17% CP, P < 0.05). Birds fed diets supplemented with keratin...

ITU-T Recommendations G.711.1 Annex D and G.722 Annex B, which are super-wideband (50–14,000 Hz) extensions to G.711.1 and G.722, have been recently standardized. This paper introduces a new coding method proposed and employed in the above ITU-T standards. The proposed coding method employs an adaptive spectral masking of the algebraic vector quantization (AVQ) for MDCT-domain non-sparse signal...
