Selecting the best power source that is legal, affordable, environmentally friendly, and able to ensure long-term viability is a difficult but vital task. Existing frameworks based on traditional fuzzy and soft sets are unable to adequately capture the complexity of the optimal energy system selection (ESS). These decision models may also be complex, especially when rough data and integrity need to be taken into account. In this study, the imperative concepts of rough set and hypersoft set are integrated into a novel theoretical framework called hypersoft rough set (HSRS). The former provides a broad theoretical framework to address information-based ambiguities and uncertainties, while the latter can be thought of as a trustworthy aid for incomplete data analysis using approximate methods. Elementary notions of HSRS, its relevant approximation space, lower and upper approximations, and operations are characterized along with essential properties and results. A rigorous algorithmic strategy for assessing the feasibility of ESS based on the operations of HSRS is suggested to assist decision-makers in identifying appropriate strategies to address the electric power deficit. Potential benefits of the newly suggested approach include improved versatility in modeling complex decision-making scenarios, better discriminating ability, suitability for handling abnormalities in data, and parametrization. The algorithm's adaptability is evaluated through a practical application to a real-world problem about the identification of the best ESS in Pakistan. The outcomes show that the suggested approach effectively ascertains the ideal ESS. Compared to the methods currently in use, the analytical framework that has been suggested seems to be more robust.

MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) materials with versatile applications in optoelectronics, batteries, and catalysis. To unlock their full potential, it is crucial to characterize MXene interfaces and intercalated species in more detail than is currently possible with conventional optical spectroscopies. Here, we combine ultra-broadband ellipsometry and transmission spectroscopy from the mid-infrared (IR) to the deep-ultraviolet (UV) to probe quantitatively the composition, structure, transport, and optical properties of spray-coated TiCT MXene thin films with varying material properties.

Establishing a high-throughput detection technology for amino acid (AA) content in milk using mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has profound implications for enhancing nutritional value of milk, identifying superior milk sources, producing specialty dairy products, and expanding Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) metrics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of MIR spectroscopy in predicting the content of 15 individual total AA (TAAs) and 16 free AA (FAAs) in bovine milk as well as to investigate the major factors affecting the phenotypic variability of AA content. From March 2023 to March 2024, 513 milk samples were collected from 10 Holstein dairy farms in China and analyzed using Bentley spectrometers for MIR measurements.

High volumetric shrinkage and rheological behavior of polypropylene (PP) are the main problems that make material extrusion (MEX) uncommon for this material. The complexity is raised when recycled materials are used. This research covered different aspects of the MEX process of virgin and recycled PP, from the analysis of rough materials to the mechanical evaluation of the final products.
