Recent energy efficiency and conservation programs have created an unprecedented demand for home energy management systems (HEMS) in the residential sector aimed at reducing electricity consumption and saving on electricity bills.This paper gives a brief review of the Rice basic algorithms found in the literature for HEMS that target optimum schedu
The Arabidopsis glutathione S-transferase GSTF8 promoter directs root-specific responses to stress.In this study, the response of this promoter to plant infection with Rhizoctonia solani was investigated using a luciferase reporter system.Arabidopsis seedlings harboring the GSTF8:luciferase construct were monitored in vivo for bioluminescence follo
By promoting tissue invasion, cell growth and angiogenesis, the Y-box binding protein 141 (YB-1) became famous as multifunctional oncoprotein.However, this designation is telling only part of the story.There is one particular time in life when actual tumorigenic-like processes become undoubtedly welcome, namely pregnancy.It seems therefore reasonab
Parthenogenesis, unisexuality and triploidy are interesting but poorly studied phenomena occurring in some reptile species.The mourning gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris) represents a complex of diploid and triploid parthenogenetic mostly all-female populations (males occur quite rarely) widely distributed in coastal areas of 141 the Indian and Pacifi
