Ethanoic Extractions of Lagerstroemia Speciosa Flowers for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted great interest as potential candidates of “low cost solar cells” in the solution of global energy demand. To accelerate the progress of DSSCs, it is important to evaluate device performance with reliable measurements that will enable more effective comparison and application of new findings in materials and technologies by different research groups. In this perspective, Lagerstroemia Speciosa Flowers dye was extracted using two methods of soxhlet and cold ethanol extraction. Our findings show that the open-circuit voltage is low which might be due to reduction in electron conduction .The Conversion efficiency of cold ethanol dye extract is higher than that of the soxhlet ethanol dye extract, which indicate that the dye pigment is more degraded in the latter method. However with further investigation, the constructed DSSC’s be made to serve as a power source for driving self-powered devices.Key word: - lagerstroemia speciosa flowers, Ethanol, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead
