โœฆ Synopsis

While research and development have resulted in extraordinary progress in improving the conversion efficiency, increasing the lifetime and reducing the cost of photovoltaic cells and systems, further improvement is required for photovoltaics to become an alternative energy source that can compete with conventional energy sources. The technical issues and problems that need to be addressed for each of the materials areas are discussed as are some projections of the results that can be expected.

Thin-ยฎlm device processing relies heavily on the integration of a variety of materials and a wide array of process steps. These include in some instances, the integration of `wet' (chemical etching) and `dry' (deposition and plasma etching) process steps. As substrates are stepped through the proces

## Abstract The clinical success of gene therapy is critically dependent on the development of efficient and safe gene delivery reagents, popularly known as โ€œtransfection vectors.โ€ The transfection vectors commonly used in gene therapy are mainly of two types: viral and nonโ€viral. The efficiencies
