Allelic variations of a light harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein gene (Lhcb1) associated with agronomic traits in barley.

Light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (LHCP) is one of the most abundant chloroplast proteins in plants.Its main chicago cubs earrings function is to collect and transfer light energy to photosynthetic reaction centers.However, the roles of different LHCPs in light-harvesting antenna systems remain obscure.Exploration of nucleotide varia

ACCELERATED WEATHERING TESTS ON PROTEIN FIBERS

Protein-based textiles, such as wool and silk, possess special properties and they are ranked higher on the hierarchical scale than the cellulosic ones (e.g., cotton, linen, hemp), in terms of quality.Wool is composed of keratin as the main protein component and silk consists of approx.80% fibroin and 20% sericin.The degradation of protein-based fi

Vibration energy harvesting for low frequency using auto-tuning parametric rolling pendulum under exogenous multi-frequency excitations

ABSTRACT: An electromagnetic parametrically excited rolling pendulum energy harvester with self-tuning mechanisms subject to multi-frequency excitation is proposed and investigated in this paper.The system consists of two uncoupled rolling pendulum.The resonance frequency of each the rolling pendulum can be automatically tuned by adjusting its geom
