the Sol–gel nanocomposite coatings have been investigated for copper metal as a potential replacement for the hazardous and banned hexavalent chromate conversion coatings. TiO2–CdO nanocomposite thin films were deposited on copper using the sol–gel method. The sol-gel coatings were prepared using a sol obtained by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetra-o-butyl titanate. They were doped with c...

An ab initio study has been performed for the electronic, spectroscopic, and chemical properties of the most stable configuration of the (CdO)n nanoclusters by employing B3LYP-DFT/LanL2DZ method. Different isomers were optimized to obtain structural stability and numerous chemical parameters such as dipole moment, ionization potential, etc. We report here the vibrational frequencies of the most...

Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a mononuclear, non-heme iron-dependent enzyme that converts exogenous cysteine (Cys) to cysteine sulfinic acid using molecular oxygen. Although the complete catalytic mechanism is not yet known, several recent reports presented evidence for an Fe(III)-superoxo reaction intermediate. In this work, we have utilized spectroscopic and computational methods to investiga...

Cadmium sulfide thin films are prepared on glass substrates at 82 °C for 1 hour by chemical bath deposition. After deposition, the films are annealed at 480 °C for 1 hour in air atmosphere. Both as-grown and annealed films are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, optical absorption spectroscopy and current voltage characteristics and ...

Neural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors (bHLHs) control many aspects of neurogenesis, such as proliferation, fate determination, and differentiation. We have previously shown that the promyogenic cell surface receptor Cdo modulates the Cdc42 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways via a direct association with two scaffold-type proteins, JLP and Bnip-2, to regulate ...

We performed a comprehensive analysis on the price bounds of CDO tranche options, and illustrated that the CDO tranche option prices can be effectively bounded by the joint distribution of default time (JDDT ) from a default time copula. Systemic and idiosyncratic factors beyond the JDDT only contribute a limited amount of pricing uncertainty. The price bounds of tranche option derived from a d...

in this report, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of luminescent cds and cds:mn+2 nanocrystals by reaction of cdso4 and na2s2o3 in the presence of thioglycerol (c3h8o2s) as capping agent. the influence of various experimental variables including, ph values and percentage of dopant, on the growth rate and optical properties of the obtained cds nanocrystals has been systematically in...

In this study, both the ansatz and averaging methods are carried out for analyzing complex Duffing oscillators including undamped/conserved oscillator (CDO) damped/unconserved CDO to obtain some approximate analytical solutions. To analyze conserved CDO, it is reduced two decoupled oscillators. After that, exact solution of employed derive an approximation in terms Jacobi elliptic function. dam...

The fast and thermal neutron attenuation properties through polymer composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced by micro-sized nano-sized Cadmium Oxide (CdO) particles with weight fractions of 10% 40% have been investigated. This study was carried out to present a new composite material HDPE filled CdO in the form micro nano be used as promising radiation shielding material....
