(16) It is easy to understand Alastair Campbell's verdict on the unmanly spectacle of the governor's departure on the lease-expired colony of Hong Kong, an event which matches the taking leave of Granada by Boabdil, the last Moorish king of Spain, for dramatic bathos.
(17) These results suggest that the batho-lumi transition of iodopsin at low temperature is likely to be inhibited by the Cl- bound to the protein moiety of iodopsin, while at room temperature the Cl- bound to iodopsin could be released on the conversion process of batho- to lumiiodopsin.
