Fire Detection Design Based on Gas Leakage Accompanied by fire Location Point Using ESP32 Based on IoT by Nanda Wibowo, Hilman Zarory, Dian Mursyitah, Aulia Ullah

“…Type B fires are fires that occur due to the burning of fuel in the form of gas, this type of fire occurs quite often where in DKI Jakarta this type of fire occurs in up to 180 cases and one of the causes of this fire is due to LPG gas leaks then at this time the fire extinguisher fire only has 1 method to find the location of the fire, therefore in this research a tool was created that can detect gas leaks and fires which can send danger warning messages to users, namely building owners and firefighters via the telegram application, from research carried out by the tool created to successfully detect the presence of gas leaks when the PPM value of LPG gas exceeds 100 PPM as well as fires when the presence of fire is detected, the carbon dioxide value in smoke exceeds 100 PPM, and also high temperatures, the tool will identify dangerous conditions and send a danger warning message to the user along with the coordinates and Google Maps link for the location of the equipment when a fire occurs.…”

Unravelling the interplay of nitrogen nutrition and the Botrytis cinerea pectin lyase BcPNL1 in modulating Arabidopsis thaliana susceptibility by Antoine Davière, Aline Voxeur, Sylvie Jolivet, Luka Lelas, Samantha Vernhettes, Marie-Christine Soulié, Mathilde Fagard

“…Additionally, in nitrogen-sufficient detached leaves, the elevated expression of jasmonic acid repressor genes observed upon infection with the wild-type strain was abolished with the mutants. These results linked the increased production of BcPNL-derived products to the increased expression of jasmonic acid repressor genes, contributing partially to the higher susceptibility of nitrogen-sufficient detached leaves. …”

Structural basis of inhibition of human NaV1.8 by the tarantula venom peptide Protoxin-I by Bryan Neumann, Stephen McCarthy, Shane Gonen

“…Abstract Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaVs) selectively permit diffusion of sodium ions across the cell membrane and, in excitable cells, are responsible for propagating action potentials. One of the nine human NaV isoforms, NaV1.8, is a promising target for analgesics, and selective inhibitors are of interest as therapeutics. …”
