AR Coatings in Solar Efficiency: A Study
Abstract: In the global race toward renewable energy dominance, the focus often fixes upon the exotic materials within the photovoltaic cell: silicon type, junction structure, or emergent perovskites. Yet, the most immediate and profound efficiency gains are often secured by a layer so thin it is invisible, a film of optimized material applied directly to the glass interface: the Anti-Reflective (AR) coating. These coatings are not merely an expensive aesthetic choice; …

Integrative Perspectives on Lipoma: Traditional Therapeutics from Siddha, Ayurveda, and Unani with Biomedical Correlates
Abstract: Background: Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor, with an incidence of approximately 2 per 1,000 individuals annually. Modern biomedicine attributes its pathogenesis to genetic abnormalities like HMGA2 rearrangements and dysregulated adipogenesis via PPARγ pathways. Effective pharmacological therapies are lacking. Traditional Indian systems – Siddha, Ayurveda, and Unani – offer unique perspectives and non‑surgical approaches yet remain underexplored in integrative research. Objective: To critically evaluate the descriptions, pathophysiological …
