A clip is slidably received through apertures formed in a connector, and used in connection with the connector to selectively secure a male end form therein. The gas turbine engine has a drive shaft that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the core gas turbine engine. An interpolation section outputs CMY values corresponding to L*a*b* value by executing interpolation according to conversion parameters retrieved by a conversion parameter retrieving section. Thus, the pinion shaft is shortened and the service life span of a supporting bearing is increased as compared with a planetary gear mechanism that has a three-step pinion. The invention also describes methods using these peptides to discover pharmaceutical agents that modulate these proteases. Hybrid reading materials include text reciting written subject matter adapted to be read visually and an audio source operatively coupled to the text, the audio source including a memory device configured to store spoken presentation data, the spoken presentation data supplementing the text and being distinct from the written subject matter.
