Graphene Solar Cells-Will it be the Ultimate Power Converter?

Solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) cells involve the direct conversion of light energy into electrical energy. PV cells are basically p-n junctions made from layers of semiconducting materials. Under light illumination, either free electron-hole pairs are generated within the bulk of the layers and subsequently separated through the internal electric field across the depletion layer of the junction (in conventional solar cells), or exactions are created and simultaneously separated across a hetero-interface (in excitonic solar cells), thus producing an open-circuited photo voltage [11. Green MA (1982) Solar cells: operating principles, technology, and system applications. Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA ,22. Brian AG (2003) Excitonic solar cells. Phys. Chem. B 107: 4688–4698.]. Upon connection with an external circuit, an electric current is drawn out and used for powering outside devices. This photocurrent, along with the photo voltage, defines the power that the solar cell can deliver..

Case Report: Reynolds Syndrome

International Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research Case Report Reynolds et al. described in 1971, 6 patients with classical primary biliary cholangitis, who presented concomitantly with varying degrees of scleroderma. Since then this association has been called Reynolds Syndrome.  https://www.peertechz.com/articles/case-report-reynolds-syndrome.pdf  #ReynoldsSyndrome#

Ministernotomy Thymectomy in Mysthania Gravis-Future

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology Research Article A thymectomy is the surgical removal of the thymus gland. The thymus has been demonstrated to play a role in the development of MG. It is removed in an effort to improve the weakness caused by MG, and to remove a thymoma if present.About 10% of MG patients have a tumor of the thymus called a thymoma. https://www.peertechz.com/articles/ministernotomy-thymectomy-in-mysthania-gravis-future.pdf
