Physical inactivity among Francophones and Anglophones in Canada.

OBJECTIVE Leisure-time physical activity participation is influenced by various socio-demographic factors. Recent evidence suggests that being part of a minority negatively impacts an individual's health status. The objective of this study was to compare inactive leisure-time physical activity between the Francophone minority and the Anglophone majority in Canada. METHODS Data from the fusion...

METHODS Data from the first four primary cycles ...

Construction and deconstruction of bacterial inclusion bodies.

Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are refractile aggregates of protease-resistant misfolded protein that often occur in recombinant bacteria upon gratuitous overexpression of cloned genes. In biotechnology, the formation of IBs represents a main obstacle for protein production since even favouring high protein yields, the in vitro recovery of functional protein from insoluble deposits depends on...
