Cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films have been deposited by a locally developed spray pyrolysis method onto glass substrate at 473K. The optical and electrical properties of the as-deposited and annealed films are studied in details. The surface morphology of the samples was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM micrograph of as-deposited film shows uniform deposition over the substr...

February 2000 www.dcrco.com n recent years, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) have emerged as one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of the asset-backed securities (ABS) market. Due to increasing use of bond and loan collateral within one transaction, the term collateralized debt obligation is becoming more popular, and the terms collateralized bond obligation (CBO) and collaterali...

Template synthesis is a powerful method for the preparation of nanoscale materials with specific size and shape. Cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were synthesized by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Cd(OAc)2.2H2O and sodium hydroxide as starting materials. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern prove...

In this work, the optical emission spectrum technique was used to analyze of (CdO: Fe) plasma produced by laser Nd: YAG with a wavelength (532) nm, period 10 ns, and focal length cm in energy range (200-500) mJ. The electron temperature (Te) determined using method line intensities ratio. Using Saha-Boltzmann equation, density (ne) determined. Other parameters such as frequency (fp), Debye (λD)...

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...

The objective of this article is to prepare a time-inhomogeneous intensity model for valuing cash-flow CDOs, which explicitly incorporates the credit rating of the firms in the collateral portfolio as the indicator of the likelihood of default. Our model can prove very useful for the pricing, structuring, rating and risk management of CDO notes, whenever the legal structure of the transaction, ...

The wettability of reactively sputtered Y₂O₃, thermally oxidized Y-Y₂O₃ and Cd-CdO template assisted Y₂O3 coatings has been studied. The wettability of as-deposited Y₂O3 coatings was determined by contact angle measurements. The water contact angles for reactively sputtered, thermally oxidized and template assisted Y₂O3 nanostructured coatings were 99°, 117° and 155°, respectively. The average ...

There are only two known thiol dioxygenase activities in mammals, and they are ascribed to the enzymes cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol) dioxygenase (ADO). Although many studies have been dedicated to CDO, resulting in the identification of its gene and even characterization of the tertiary structure of the protein, relatively little is known about cysteamine dioxyg...
