Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) can possibly serve as a pervasive source of essential nutrient zinc in agricultural crops in the future. The major environmental concerns with ZnO NPs might be their toxicity and incorrect dosage, which might lead to crop damage and environmental pollution. Interplay between ZnO NPs and () will be of interest, yet little is known about apropos interaction of these two, which will assist in optimizing the dose of ZnO NPs for their commercial use in agriculture.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have a porous structure, high surface area, and high charge transfer, and they have been regarded as model electrocatalysts. Optimization of the electrocatalytic activity of MOFs is challenging, and an effective strategy for this optimization is the construction of a well-defined interfacial bond bridge. In this work, an approach of composite synthesis is reported for MOF (CoNiNHBDC) with MXenes (MoTiC), as the electrocatalytic properties of MOF can be greatly enhanced with the incorporation of the conductive material MXene.

The primary purpose of this article is to examine the issue of estimating the finite population distribution function from auxiliary information, such as population mean and rank of the auxiliary variables, that are already known. In order to better estimate the distribution function (DF) of a finite population, two improved estimators are developed. The bias and mean squared error of the suggested and existing estimators are derived up to the first order of approximation.
