A study conducted to investigate the fabrication of organic solar cells based on PC61BM:PCPDTBT using the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method. The research carries out a number of analyses for structural evaluations (XRD and ESEM), compositional change (XPS and FTIR), and functional assessment (absorption and I-V testing), with the goal of understanding the materials' properties, their behavior during deposition and the resulting characteristics of the fabricated solar cells. While demonstrating promise, the PVD method faces challenges in the maintenance of electrical attributes during vaporization, and the need for further optimization.

For the first time, the leaf quality control parameters, the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-inflammatory in vitro activity of ethanol extract (CRE) and its fractions of petroleum ether (CRP), methylene chloride (CRMC), ethyl acetate (CREA), -butanol (CRB), and methanol (CRME) were evaluated.

A single oral dose of 500 mg/kg of extract were given to rats, after 24 h, urine volume, its sodium and potassium concentrations were estimated. Treatment with extract caused a significant increase in tested parameters as compared to their corresponding controls, < 0.

Methods: For isolation and identification of the compounds, column chromatography and spectroscopic analysis were used, a model of hepatotoxicity by CCl(4) in rats was used to evaluate the total ethanol extract and its successive fractions.
Results: Phytochemical screening of C.
