Organic Solid-State Reactions

1 Introduction Organic solid-state reactions have gained much attention during the past few decades. The major reason is that organic solid-state reactions are highly selective and fast as compared with to solution-based reactions. Moreover, without the use of organic solvents, reactions can be less hazardous and are therefore environmentally benign. These reactions also have potential … Read more

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is the most studied organic photovoltaic (OPV) system. However, up to the date this system is unable to perform consistently primarily due to lack of knowledge of optimized morphological structure.1’4 Morphological structure is important in every steps of OPV operation, from photon absorption to charge collection.5 Photon … Read more

Also included are ethical problems with cloning whole organisms, and current legislation regarding this subject. HISTORY … Read more

Cellular respiration

Adenosine triphosphate is made of the organic molecule adenosine bonded to a chain of three phosphate groups. ATP is an organic phosphate molecule that is the principal source of energy for cellular works. (Reece, et al., 2011) Energy is released by ATP when bonds between phosphate groups are broken by hydrolysis, ATP thus becoming adenosine … Read more

Metagenomics

Abstract: The presently available gene annotation approaches are based on features that are unavailable in short reading sequences generated from next generation sequencing, which results in substandard performance for metagenomic samples. Innovative programs have been developed that enhance performance in undersized reading sequences. The main deficits are in the current prediction algorithm’s ability in predicting … Read more

Studying politics as if it were a science

The principal concern of the question is what it means to study a subject as if it were a science. This text will explore if the concept of analysing politics (and therefore society) by using the scientific method of observation and experiment is compatible with Critical Theory. The backbone of this essay is the Frankfurt … Read more

Endosymbiosis

The foundation of an endosymbiotic relationship commonly is by all accounts determined through complementation of the host’s restricted metabolic capacities by the biochemical flexibility of the endosymbiont. Endosymbiosis, in the sense of endocytobiosis, with one harmonious collaborator the endosymbiont living intracellularly inside the second advantageous collaborator the host, is the most personal manifestation of beneficial … Read more

Space settlement

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 What is space settlement? ‘ A space settlement can be treated as a permanent home or habitation of human beings in a pre-set location of Space. ‘ In each settlement we have to create independent biosphere which will support the life of humans inside the space settlement. ‘ All oxygen, water, … Read more

Is there a relationship between friction and the time it take a hovercraft to move across water?

Research: A hovercraft is a vehicle that glides over a smooth surface by hovering upon an air cushion. Because of this, a hovercraft is also called an Air-Cushion Vehicle, or ACV. How is the air cushion made? The hovercraft creates vents or currents of slow-moving, low-pressure air that are pushed downward against the surface below … Read more

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is found in wetlands in inorganic (IP), also called orthophosphate, and organic (OP) form. These comes in particulate (PP) and dissolved (DP) form. Depending on the nature and usage of the land in the catchment area, the pools of IP and OP that enter streams, drainage system and the wetlands will differ in relative size … Read more

Effect of varying doping density for optimisation of quantum efficiency of silicon based nanowire solar cell

Abstract-: Nanostructures with their unique physical chemical and properties show immense potential in the design and fabrication of low cost photovoltaics. To explore the various possibilities for designing an improved low cost solar cell with nanowire as the building block this research work has been carried out. In this work a single silicon nanowire structure … Read more

Pathogenic vibrio species

Introduction Vibrio, a gram negative bacterium consists of more than 70 species of which many are pathogenic. The pathogenic strains are usually associated with gastroenteritis and also infect open wounds that further leads to septicemia. The most important pathogenic vibrio species include V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. fluvialis and V. mimicus. Cholera is … Read more

The Sun

The vast amount of energy affecting and driving the Earth’s climate system comes from the Sun. The Sun is mostly made up of a hot plasma of hydrogen and helium gases and creates energy by thermonuclear fusion at its core. This energy is then radiated out from the core and into the solar system as … Read more

Protein structures

Proteins are chains of amino acids that fold into a three-dimensional shape. Each protein has a particular structure essential to bind with a high degree of specificity to one or more molecules and to carry out its function; thus, function is directly associated with the structure of protein. 2.1 PROTEIN STRUCTURES There are four levels … Read more
