Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS) incorporated into ZnO nanorods (NRs) were synthesized a chemical precipitation route at room temperature. All concerned samples were characterized to examine their optical properties, elemental composition, phase formation, surface morphology and functional group presence. The aim of this research was to enhance the catalytic properties of ZnO by co-doping with various concentrations of CNCs and MoS NRs.

- Global issues of food production and waste recycling can be addressed by recycling organic waste into crop amendments like vermicompost.
- This study used earthworms (Eisenia fetida) to create vermicompost from six desert plant species mixed with farmyard manure (FYM) and found that P. cineraria vermicompost significantly enhanced maize growth and yield metrics.
- Key results showed that the vermicompost from P. cineraria led to the highest plant height, yield, nutrient uptake, and photosynthetic efficiency, suggesting its effectiveness for improving maize crops.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilisation versus the Cyriax technique for treating subacute lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in patients.
- Conducted in Pakistan, the trial involved 60 patients grouped alternately, with one group receiving Cyriax treatment and the other Mulligan techniques, yielding measurable improvements in pain and disability.
- Results indicated that while both methods were effective, Cyriax showed more significant pain relief, whereas Mulligan methods better addressed functional disability, with no notable overall difference in total evaluation scores.
