In this paper simulation study of optimized n-i-p a-si single junction solar cell which having defect density in different layers. From the simulation result, it was found that the conversion efficiency is affected due to the presence of defect density in different layers. The maximum conversion efficiency is found 24.74% and 22.94% at without defect density at 0ºC and 30ºC respectively, while the conversion efficiency become zero in p-type front layer in 10 22 cm -3 defect density and 11.35% in i-type absorber layer in 10 -21 cm -3 defect density. It is clear that the quality of absorber layer and front layer is the key factor in cell performance or efficiency improvement. These results are consistence with the fact that n-i-p a-Si single junction solar cell with the higher defect densities and dislocation exhibits a lower efficiency of the cell.
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of low-dose mifepristone (25 mg) on symptomatic myoma in perimenoapausal women.
Study design
Prospective observational clinical trial.
Materials and methods
Ninety-three perimenopausal women of age 35 to 50 years having symptomatic myoma were selected from gynecology outpatient department and given 25 mg mifepristone once daily continuously for 3 months. Baseline uterine size, uterine volume, myoma size, volume, their number, position, characteristics, hemoglobin and blood parameters, were taken and followed monthly for 6 months. Bleeding and pain scores were checked on monthly visits. Change in above parameters were tabulated during the first 3 months treatment phase and then next 3 months post-treatment phase for analysis.
Statistical analysis
Done by calculating mean, standard deviation, standard error and percentage distribution of variables.
Results
Menorrhagia was the commonest symptom which led patients to report to hospital. Mean uterine volume reduced to 63.69% of baseline, mean dominant myoma volume reduced to 53.62% and hemoglobin level raised to 137% after complete treatment of 3 months. Changes persisted in next 3 months post-treatment follow-up, while hysterectomy was required in 10 (12.2%) cases.
Conclusion
Three months treatment of 25 mg mifepristone effectively controls bleeding, reduces the uterine and myoma volume and thus can avoid blood transfusion and hysterectomy in a lot of symptomatic myoma cases.
