The investigation of high-efficiency electrodes is essential for the energy conversion/storage devices. In this work, mesoporous two-dimensional Ni-Co hydroxide nanosheets stabilized by BO (denoted as (NiCo)(OH)/Co(BO)) are prepared via a facile and cost-effective procedure to circumvent the shortage of nickel hydroxide, viz. poor conductivity and fast phase transition.

Data of 61,984 litters were collected from 16 herds, and general linear model (GLM), multilevel Poisson regression model (MPM) and multilevel linear model (MLM) were established to compare their goodness of fit for these data. Influencing factors of piglet litter performance at birth were analysed using the established optimal model.

Information on sow diets, management and climate from 2478 weaning batches completed in 16 pig farms was collected from 2009 to 2013. Multi-level mixed models, which included batch level (level 1) and farm level (level 2), were used to analyze the factors associated with SQRM and AWW.
