La déprotéination de la chitine consiste à solubiliser les protéines présentes dans la matrice de chitine dans une solution aqueuse. Elle peut être effectuée de façon douce ou sévère. Les méthodes douces utilisent des enzymes qui dégradent les protéines en peptides solubles dans l'eau. Ces méthodes sont peu couteuses, mais ne permettent pas l'élimination complète des protéines.

The Agreement on Internal Trade(AIT) is an intergovernmental agreement signed by Canadian First Ministers that came into force in 1995. Its purpose is to foster improved interprovincial trade by addressing obstacles to the free movement of persons, goods, services and investments within Canada. The establishment of the AIT marks a significant achievement in helping to remove the existing interprovincial trade barriers, prevent the establishment of new barriers and harmonise interprovincial standards. These actions reduce extra costs to Canadian businesses by making internal trade more efficient, increasing market access for Canadian companies and facilitating work mobility for tradespeople and professionals. 1, record 6, English, - Agreement%20on%20Internal%20Trade

L'Accord sur le commerce intérieur (ACI) est un accord intergouvernemental signé par les premiers ministres des provinces et territoires du Canada qui est entré en vigueur en 1995. Son but est de favoriser un commerce interprovincial amélioré en traitant les obstacles liés à la libre circulation des personnes, des biens, des services et des investissements à l'intérieur du Canada. La mise en œuvre de l'ACI a grandement contribué à éliminer les barrières commerciales intérieures, à prévenir l'érection de nouvelles barrières et à harmoniser les normes interprovinciales. Ces mesures ont réduit les frais supplémentaires payés par les entreprises canadiennes en rendant le commerce intérieur plus efficace, en créant un accès plus ouvert pour les entreprises canadiennes et en facilitant la mobilité de la main-d'œuvre pour les commerçants et les professionnels. 1, record 6, French, - Accord%20sur%20le%20commerce%20int%C3%A9rieur

Walled gardens were an important feature of the historic demesnes in Great Britain and Ireland. They were built to provide a favourable micro-climate for fruit, vegetable and flower production, and were staffed by large teams of highly skilled horticulturalists. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, walled gardens were in decline. With increasing labour costs, and the ready availability of fresh produce, it was no longer economic to maintain self sufficiency within an estate. A further blow was dealt by the two world wars, and the attendant social and economic changes. 1, record 13, English, - walled%20garden

The well known ACEE(Aircraft Energy Efficiency) program in the United States emerged from the fear of substantial increases in future fuel costs. The slogan was "reduced weight for reduced fuel cost". to achieve high performance, some designs called for individually tailor-made plies which saved a mere ounce at a substantial cost penalty. Instead of the cost of fuel increasing as predicted, it has actually dropped considerably(in real dollars) since the early 1980s, and the demand for high performance has somewhat diminished. Consequently, the ACEE program has lost much of its funding and clout. 3, record 14, English, - Aircraft%20Energy%20Efficiency

Since the beginning of the present object classification system in 1966, transactions between departments and programs for goods and services have been occurring throughout the government and have been recorded by standard and economic/source objects. While these transactions were few in 1966, they have increased tremendously since then, owing to the new policies on revolving funds, net voting and interdepartmental charging, and to the increasing emphasis on more adequate identification of program costs. 3, record 16, English, - interdepartmental%20charging

Depuis l'instauration du système actuel de classification par article, en 1966, les ministères et organismes consignent par article courant et par article économique ou d'origine les opérations interministérielles et inter-programmes qu'ils effectuent relativement à la fourniture de biens et de services. Alors que le nombre de ces opérations était peu élevé en 1966, il s'est accru énormément depuis, en raison des nouvelles politiques concernant les fonds renouvelables, les crédits nets et la facturation interministérielle, et de l'importance grandissante accordée à une meilleure détermination plus précise des coûts des programmes. 2, record 16, French, - facturation%20interminist%C3%A9rielle
