Common scab disease-induced changes in geocaulosphere microbiome assemblages and functional processes in landrace potato (Solanum tuberosum var. Rongpuria) of Assam, India.

Common scab (CS) caused by pathogenic Streptomyces spp. plays a decisive role in the qualitative and quantitative production of potatoes worldwide. Although the CS pathogen is present in Assam's soil, disease signs and symptoms are less obvious in the landrace Rongpuria potatoes that indicate an interesting interaction between the plant and the geocaulosphere microbial population.

Correlations between preparation methods, structural features and electrochemical Li-storage behavior of reduced graphene oxide.

Wide differences in the structural features of graphenic carbon, especially in the case of reduced graphene oxides (rGO), are expected to have considerable impacts on the properties, thus leading to significant scatter and poor understanding/prediction of their performances for various applications, including as electrode materials for electrochemical Li-storage. In this context, the present work develops a comprehensive understanding (via thorough experimentation, including in situ X-ray diffraction studies, and analysis) on the effects of graphene oxide (GO) reduction methods/conditions on the structural features (mainly 'graphenic' ordering) and concomitant influences of the same on electrochemical Li-storage behavior. 'Moderately oxidized' GO (O/C ∼0.

Work function modulation and thermal stability of reduced graphene oxide gate electrodes in MOS devices.

Work function (WF) tuning of the contact electrodes is a key requirement in several device technologies, including organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors. Here, we demonstrate that the WF of the gate electrode in an MOS structure can be modulated from 4.35 eV (n-type metal) to 5.
