Higher Education and behavior analysis in Europe::Creating a unified approach for the training of autism professionals

Training of behaviour analysts for autism services, has improved notably within a European higher education context. However, regional discrepancies associated with economic, health care, social services, and institutional policies magnify the importance of creating appropriate unified training and consumer protection. Although the European Association for Behaviour Analysis (EABA) has endorsed the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) designations, the absence of European and national regulations, recognition, and accreditation remain significant barriers to quality training and implementation. These challenges are  particularly pertinent in light of BACB decision to limit certification to residents in the USA and Canada after 2022. Advances, challenges, and future directions are discussed within the context of higher education in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Norway, and Sweden. The post-Bologna European agenda for higher education, globalization and opportunities for the training of behaviour analysts within European higher education are outlined

Crystallization of L-aspartate oxidase, the first enzyme in the bacterial de novo biosynthesis of NAD

The flavoenzyme L-aspartate oxidase from Escherichia coli was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique with PEG 4000 as precipitant. The crystals belong to space group P3121 (or P3221) with unit-cell parameters a = b = 84.9, c = 159.9 \uc5. A solvent content of 42% corresponds to a monomer (60 kDa) in the asymmetric unit. A complete 2.8 \uc5 resolution data set was collected using a rotating-anode X-ray generator
