Abstract The optical properties of semiconductor material are the important information for its application in solar cell. One parameter which influence is band gap energy. value energy can be obtained from experimental data UV-Vis absorbance spectrum by doing three steps, i.e. curve smoothing, baseline arrangement and calculation using Tauc plot method embedded Origin software. Conventionally,...

Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is usually insufficient to accurately predict the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is therefore necessary to identify an additional biomarker that would most likely improve the accuracy of OGTT. The current OGTT was performed in 53 volunteers after ingestion of 75 g glucose in 250 ml water to each volunteer. Similarly the sphingoid base profile of ...

Echinocandins inhibit the synthesis of β-1,3-D-glucan in Candida and are the first-line therapy in numerous clinical settings. Their use is limited by poor oral bioavailability, and they are available only as intravenous therapies. Derivatives of enfumafungin are novel orally bioavailable glucan synthase inhibitors. We performed an in vivo pharmacodynamic (PD) evaluation with a novel enfumafung...

In this paper, N-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) nanorod arrays were synthesized with hydrothermal method, and perovskite solar cells were fabricated using them as electron transfer layer. The solar cell performance was optimized by changing the N doping contents. The power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on N-TiO2 with the N doping content of 1% (N/Ti, atomic ratio) has been achieved 11.1%, whi...

This study examines the effect of wavelength light illuminated on DSSC absorption and gap dye energy. The used was sea lettuce anthocyanin from Sanur Beach, Bali. As much as 20 grams dried powder dissolved in 80 mL 96% ethanol 6% HCl. After 24 hours immersion, it filtered with Whatman 41 paper. filtrate characterized using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer so that wavelengths were 272.5 nm, 417 65...

The kinetics of the dark-adapted salamander rod photocurrent response to flashes producing from 10 to 10(5) photoisomerizations (Phi) were investigated in normal Ringer's solution, and in a choline solution that clamps calcium near its resting level. For saturating intensities ranging from approximately 10(2) to 10(4) Phi, the recovery phases of the responses in choline were nearly invariant in...

Parapodial extensions of the foot are particularly well developed in Aplysia fasciata, in which species they function during swimming. As was indicated in earlier studies (Hughes & Tauc, 1962), many of the nerves which innervate the foot sensu stricto of other species supply the parapodia of Aplysia fasciata. In fact there is no detailed account of the branching of the nerves in A. fasciata; Ma...

The compressive strain induced work function modulation in boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) has been studied. arose due to the irradiation of 30 keV Au beam on thin films BNNS. Before BNNS was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis where using Tauc plot bandgap chemically synthesized from commercial hBN powder calculated as well layer numbers also quantified an empirical relation exploiting...

In this work, MnO 2 -SnO nanocomposite based below lower exposure limit (0.5–2.0 vol%) sensing device for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is reported. The synthesized material highly crystalline with an average crystallite size of 16.786 nm, confirmed by the X-ray diffraction pattern. Williamson-Hall plot shows that induced strain 2.627 × 10 ?4 , present in nanocomposite, lies between strains bot...
