Grinding (solvent-free) method was used as a superior technique to prepare mesoporous photocatalysts of ZnO, ZnS, ZnO / ZnS, CdO, CdS and CdO / CdS-SBA-15. In this technique, the nitrate, acetate and chloride salts of zinc and/or cadmium were grinded with as-synthesized SBA-15 as a mesoporous material. The controllable sulfurationis was used to prepare ZnS, ZnO/ZnS, CdS and CdO/CdS-SBA-15 a...

In the present research, a sonochemical approach was applied to prepare new cadmium(II) coordination 2D polymer, [Cd(L)(NO2)2]n (L = 1,2-bis(1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethylidene)hydrazine) and structurally characterized with various spectroscopic techniques including XRD, elemental analysis, SEM, IR spectroscopy. The number of cadmium (II) ions is seven (CdN2O5) by two nitrogen atoms from organic Schiff ...

In view of the fact that different factor Copula models are only applicable to practical problems in collateralized debt obligations (CDO) market and there is no semianalytical solution under nonhomogeneous assumptions CDO pricing model, we designed a general numerical algorithm which was based on framework single model randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) simulation method. We took two as examp...

We consider a factor approach to the pricing of basket credit derivatives and synthetic CDO tranches. Our purpose is to deal in a convenient way with dependent defaults for a large number of names. We provide semi-explicit expressions of the stochastic intensities of default times and pricing formulae for basket default swaps and CDO tranches. Two cases are studied in detail: mean-variance mixt...

This study addresses the tracking control problem of underwater vehicles using a new robust observation-based scheme. The advantages integral sign error (RISE) control, as well saturation function and well-known super-twisting algorithm, have been exploited to design saturated RISE (S+RISE) However, proposed S+RISE method requires continuous state measurements. To resolve this issue, continuous...

highly crystalline bi3+-doped cadmium oxide (cdo) sub-micron structures were synthesized by calcination the obtained precursor from a sol-gel reaction. the reaction was carried out with cadmium nitrate (cd(no3)2.4h2o), bismuth nitrate (bi(no3)3.5h2o) and ethylene glycol (c2h6o2) reactants without any additives at 80°c for 2h. resulting gel was calcined at 900 °c with increasing temperature rate...

The relation between blood taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) concentrations and obesity was investigated. Taurine is supplied to the body by dietary ingestion as well as by de novo synthesis; it is anabolized by cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), which is abundantly expressed in liver and white adipose tissue. Overexpression of CDO in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes caused a decrease in the level of cysteine ...

Mammalian cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a mononuclear non-heme iron protein that catalyzes the conversion of cysteine (Cys) to cysteine sulfinic acid by an unclarified mechanism. One structural study revealed that a Cys-persulfenate (or Cys-persulfenic acid) formed in the active site, but quantum mechanical calculations have been used to support arguments that it is not an energetically feasibl...

The p38alpha/beta mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway promotes skeletal myogenesis, but the mechanisms by which it is activated during this process are unclear. During myoblast differentiation, the promyogenic cell surface receptor Cdo binds to the p38alpha/beta pathway scaffold protein JLP and, via JLP, p38alpha/beta itself. We report that Cdo also interacts with Bnip-2, a protein ...
