\caption{Selected features of the evolution of massive intermediate-mass
  stars prior to carbon ignition. The quantities shown are: the maximum
  extent of the convective core during the central hydrogen ($M_{\rm HB}$)
  and helium ($M_{\rm HeB}$) burning phases, the mass coordinate of the
  base of the convective envelope at its deepest extent during the first
  dredge-up ($M_{\rm 1DUP}$), the mass of the CO core at carbon ignition
  ($M_{\rm COi}$), the durations of central hydrogen ($\Delta t_{\rm HB}$)
  and helium ($\Delta t_{\rm HeB}$) burning phases, the time elapsed
  between the end of central helium burning and carbon ignition ($\Delta
  t_{\rm HeB-CB}$) and the central \chem{C}{12} and \chem{O}{16} mass
  fractions at the end of He core burning. Masses are in solar unit
  (\msun), times in years (yr). $M_{\rm COi}$ is defined as the mass
  coordinate of maximum nuclear energy production in the He burning shell.
