Deep insights into the optoelectronic properties of AgCdF-based perovskite solar cell using the combination of DFT and SCAPS-1D simulation.

The main focus of this research is to explore the properties and photovoltaic application of AgCdF, and hence, initially, the CASTEP software was used in this study to assess the structural, optical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the AgCdF perovskite absorber layer within the context of the density functional theory (DFT) method. AgCdF resulting from the structural research is confirmed to be chemically and thermodynamically stable by the estimated tolerance factor and formation enthalpy. According to the band structure analysis, AgCdF is an indirect band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 1.

Drought vulnerability assessment and its impact on crop production and livelihood of people: An empirical analysis of Barind Tract.

North-Western section of Bangladesh is experiencing a protracted decrease in precipitation, irregular rainfall, and the depletion of ground water, which results in water scarcity and extreme dry weather that impedes the production of agricultural commodities and threatens the people's way of life. Analyzing the precipitation deficit and ground water deficit, along with vegetation cover, temperature condition, and the condition of the vegetation is a crucial component of drought vulnerability assessment. Rajshahi Zilla, a region of Bangladesh located in the middle of the Barind tract, is experiencing a severe water shortage.

Anxiolytic Effect of Sesamol, Possibly Through the GABAkine Interaction Pathway.

Plant-based components have helped generate novel lead molecules and scaffolds for anxiety research in psychopharmacology. The present study examined the anxiolytic properties of sesamol (SES), a phenolic lignan derived from Sesamum indicum, employing both in vivo and computational methods to understand its mechanisms of action. In this experiment, adult Swiss albino mice received various doses of SES (25 and 50 mg/kg, p.

Integer programming framework for pangenome-based genome inference.

Affordable genotyping methods are essential in genomics. Commonly used genotyping methods primarily support single nucleotide variants and short indels but neglect structural variants. Additionally, accuracy of read alignments to a reference genome is unreliable in highly polymorphic and repetitive regions, further impacting genotyping performance.

The Role of Protonation in the PfMATE Transporter Protein Structural Transitions.

Multi-antimicrobial extrusion (MATE) transporter membrane proteins provide drug and toxin resistivity by expelling compounds from cells. MATE proteins can be pictured as V-shaped. To regulate its functioning, the protein structure can switch between outward-facing (OF) and inward-facing (IF).
