Eating Behaviours and Body Weight Concerns among Adolescent Girls by Nadira Mallick, Subha Ray, Susmita Mukhopadhyay

“…Worldwide adolescent girls tend to develop moderate to high level of disordered eating behaviour as a result of their excessive concern with body weight or obsession with thinness. The objective of the review is to understand the concerns over body weight and the current eating patterns of adolescent girls in the developed and developing countries.…”

Transmission of obliquely incident surface waves through a narrow gap by B. N. Mandal, P. K. Kundu

“…This note is concerned with the transmission of a train of surface water waves obliquely incident on a thin plane vertical barrier with a narrow gap. Within the framework of the linearized theory of water waves, the problem is reduced to the solution of an integral equation which is solved approximately. …”

Dye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline ZnO Solar Cells Based on Ruthenium(II) Phendione Complexes by Hashem Shahroosvand, Parisa Abbasi, Mohsen Ameri, Mohammad Reza Riahi Dehkordi

“…The AFM images clearly show both, the outgrowth of the complexes which are adsorbed on ZnO thin film and the depression of ZnO thin film. We have studied photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor solar cells based on Ru phendione complexes, which gave power conversion efficiency of (η) of 1.54% under the standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm−2) with a short-circuit photocurrent density (𝐽sc) of 3.42 mA cm−2, an open-circuit photovoltage (𝑉oc) of 0.622 V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.72. …”
