In this work In2S3 and CdS nanoparticles were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and then annealed at 500 °C for 2 h in an Ar gas until CdIn2S4(CdIS)-CdS nanocomposites were formed. Afterwards, efficiency of the as-synthesized CdIS-CdS nanocomposite in quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) was evaluated. For this purpose, the as-prepared CdIS-CdS nanocomposites were deposited on TiO...

As-grown Ar-deposited Cd1−xVxO and Ar/O2-deposited Cd1−yVyO feature lower higher electron concentrations than 4 × 1020 cm−3, respectively. After isothermal isochronal annealing under N2 ambient, we find that the two series exhibit a decrease or increase in until ~4 cm−3 which is close to Fermi stabilization energy (EFS) level of CdO, with assistance native defects. An amphoteric defects model u...

Abstract The anion photoelectron spectra of Cl − ⋅⋅⋅CD 3 CDO, ⋅⋅⋅(CD CDO) 2 , Br ⋅⋅⋅CH CHO, and I CHO are presented with electron stabilisation energies 0.55, 0.93, 0.48, 0.40 eV, respectively. Optimised geometries the singly solvated species featured halide appended to CH molecule in‐line electropositive portion C=O bond having binding between 45 52 kJ mol −1 . doubly ⋅⋅⋅(CH CHO) features asym...

This article gives examples illustrating the static hedging of CDO correlation risk. Changes in correlation result in changes in the relative portioning out of the total expected loss of a reference portfolio to the different tranches. Thus, portfolios with low correlation risk contains a number of CDO tranches whose weights are adjusted so that the daily changes in the mark-tomarket values of ...

Rating collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), which are based on tranched pools of credit risk exposures, does not only require attributing a probability of default to each obligor within the portfolio. It also involves assumptions concerning recovery rates and correlated defaults of pool assets, thus combining credit risk assessments of individual collateral assets with estimates about defaul...

Determination and differentiation of cells in the skeletal muscle lineage is positively regulated by cell-cell contact. Cell-surface proteins proposed to mediate this effect include both classical cadherins and Ig superfamily members; potential interactions between the promyogenic activities of these classes of protein, however, are unknown. We show here that CDO and BOC, two promyogenic Ig sup...

We investigated mechanisms controlling taurine synthesis in cultured rat cerebral astrocytes. The mean ± SE rate of taurine synthesis from extracellular cysteine was 21.2 ± 2.0 pmol ⋅ mg protein-1 ⋅ min-1, whereas taurine degradation was <1.3% of this rate. Eliminating cellular glutathione and inhibiting glutathione biosynthesis increased taurine synthesis from extracellular cysteine by 39%. In...
