DIVERSE ACCUMULATION OF SEVERAL DEHYDRIN-LIKE PROTEINS IN CAULIFLOWER (BRASSICA OLERACEA VAR. BOTRYTIS), ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA AND YELLOW LUPIN (LUPINUS LUTEUS) MITOCHONDRIA UNDER COLD AND HEAT STRESS

Diverse accumulation of several dehydrin-like proteins in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), Arabidopsis thaliana and yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus) mitochondria under cold and heat stress

Abstract Background Dehydrins represent hydrophilic proteins acting mainly during cell dehydration and stress response.Dehydrins are generally thermostable; however, the so-called dehydrin-like (dehydrin-related) proteins show variable thermolability.Both groups immunoreact with antibodies directed against the K-segment of dehydrins.Plant mitochond

Optimisation Design of a Low-Frequency Eddy Current Rail Heater

The aim of the work is the optimisation of a rail heater, constituted by a magnetic core supplied by a sinusoidal current, which induces an eddy current in the rail.Optimisation parameters are electrical and geometrical quantities: supply frequency, voltage amplitude, airgaps, and core shape, while objectives are power transferred to the rail, abso

Statistical Comparison and Assessment of Four Fire Emissions Inventories for 2013 and a Large Wildfire in the Western United States

Wildland fires produce smoke plumes that impact air quality and human health.To understand the effects of Horse Neck Rugs wildland fire smoke on humans, the amount and composition of the smoke plume must be quantified.Using a fire emissions inventory is one way to determine the emissions rate and composition of smoke plumes from individual fires.Th
