Ignition Component fuel moisture (FFM) which expresses the effective moisture content of the fine fuels. The closer the initial temperature of the fuel is to the ignition temperature, the more likely a fire will result when a firebrand in introduced into the fine fuel complex, since not a much energy is required to raise the fuel particle to its ignition temperature. Ignition Component The Ignition Component is a number which relates the probability that a fire will result if a firebrand is introduced into a fine fuel complex. The ignition component can range from 0 when conditions are cool and damp, to
Carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein Carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein Carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) also known as MLX-interacting protein-like (MLXIPL) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "MLXIPL" gene. The protein name derives from the protein's interaction with carbohydrate response element sequences of DNA. This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor of the Myc / Max / Mad superfamily. This protein forms a heterodimeric complex and binds and activates, in a glucose-dependent manner, carbohydrate response element (ChoRE) motifs in the promoters of triglyceride synthesis genes. This gene is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of
