The nature and magnitude of the optical gaps of rocksalt alkaline earth (MgO, CaO, SrO, MgS, MgSe) and transition metal chalcogenide (CdO, PbS) nanoparticles are studied using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations on (MX)32 nanoparticles. We demonstrate, just as we previously showed for MgO, that TD-DFT calculations on rocksalt nanoparticles require the use of hybrid ex...

CDO is a cell-surface protein of the immunoglobulin/fibronectin type III repeat family that positively regulates myogenic differentiation in vitro. To gain a better understanding of the role of cdo during vertebrate development, we carried out an extensive in situ hybridization study to characterize its expression pattern from postimplantation to late stages of mouse embryogenesis and in rat br...

Equilibrium constants of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles complexes in human cancer cells with DNA/RNA ligands have been studied with biospectroscopic methods such as 1HNMR, 13CNMR, 31PNMR, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR–FTIR) and FT–Raman spectroscopies in cosolvent systems at 10, 20, 30°C ± 0.5 and 1 mol.dm–3 ionic strength, was maintained using Sodium Chloride ...

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway plays an important role in cell differentiation, but the signaling mechanisms by which it is activated during this process are largely unknown. Cdo is an immunoglobulin superfamily member that functions as a component of multiprotein cell surface complexes to promote myogenesis. In this study, we report that the Cdo intracellular region in...

In recent years, researchers have focused on cadmium oxide (CdO) due to its applications, specifically in the field of optoelectronic devices such as solar cells [2-3], photo transistors [4] and diodes [5], transparent electrodes [6], gas sensors [7], etc. These applications of CdO are based on its specific optical and electrical properties. For example, CdO films show a high transparency in th...

A potassium channel Kir2.1-associated membrane hyperpolarization is required for myogenic differentiation. However the molecular regulatory mechanisms modulating Kir2.1 channel activities in early stage of myogenesis are largely unknown. A cell surface protein, Cdo functions as a component of multiprotein cell surface complexes to promote myogenesis. In this study, we report that Cdo forms a co...

CdO nanoparticles efficiently catalyzes the condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 2-aminophenol at room temperature to afford 2-aryl benzoxazole derivatives by grinding method. The reactions proceed under heterogeneous and mild conditions to provide 2-aryl benzoxazoles in excellent yields (87-97 %) with high purity under solvent free condition. The reaction requires short time (5-23 minutes) ...

A forward starting CDO is a single tranche CDO with a specified premium starting at a specified future time. Pricing and hedging forward starting CDOs has become an active research topic. We present a method for pricing a forward starting CDO by converting it to an equivalent synthetic CDO. The value of the forward starting CDO can then be computed by the well developed methods for pricing the ...

ZnO nanowire-CdO composite nanostructures were fabricated by a simple two-step process involving ammonia solution method and thermal evaporation. First, ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown on Si substrate by aqueous ammonia solution method and then CdO was deposited on these ZnO NWs by thermal evaporation of cadmium chloride powder. The surface morphology and structure of the synthesized composite s...
