Epibrassinolide Regulates <i>Lhcb5</i> Expression Though the Transcription Factor of MYBR17 in Maize by Hui Li, Xuewu He, Huayang Lv, Hongyu Zhang, Fuhai Peng, Jun Song, Wenjuan Liu, Junjie Zhang

“…The peripheral light-harvesting antenna protein <i>Lhcb5</i> is crucial for capturing and dissipating light energy. Herein, by analyzing the transcriptomic data of maize seedling leaves treated with 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) and verifying them using qPCR experiments, we found that the MYBR17 transcription factor may regulate the expression of the photosynthetic light-harvesting antenna protein gene. …”

I-Media as post-nonclassical format of public communications by A.E. Bogoyavlensky

“…The author believes that the guidance of “synergy focus” will allow: firstly, to imagine a global media system (mediaevalists) residing in the phase of transition from globalization to glocalization, as dissipative structures; secondly, to reflect on the possibility of post-nonclassical transformation of the metaphor of McLuhan's “the medium is the message”; thirdly, to consider relevant, through still understudied, aspects of media theory in the context of the present stage of development of the scientific paradigm.…”

The thermoelectric conversion efficiency problem: Insights from the electron gas thermodynamics close to a phase transition by I. Khomchenko, A. Ryzhov, F. Maculewicz, F. Kurth, R. Hühne, A. Golombek, M. Schleberger, C. Goupil, Ph. Lecoeur, A. Böhmer, G. Benenti, G. Schierning, H. Ouerdane

“…We also calculate the ideal thermoelectric conversion efficiency in noninteracting electron systems across a wide temperature range neglecting phonon effects and dissipative coupling to the heat source and sink. Our results show that driving the electronic system to the vicinity of a phase transition can indeed be an innovative route to strong efficiency enhancement, but at the cost of an extremely narrow temperature range for the use of such materials, which in turn precludes potential development for the desired wide range of thermoelectric energy conversion applications.…”
