The present invention provides a burner for a heater for combustion of a hydrocarbon liquid. Particularly formulations comprising at least one brassinosteroid or a derivative thereof are provided for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia or androgenic alopecia. One or more electrodes are disposed proximate a distal end of the lead body. When the detected environmental conditions indicate the likelihood of the transmission ratio increase, an automatic transmission changes in operation from a normal state to a prepared state. The context can be passed back to the host for message processing by the host.
