The zinc-cadmium oxide (ZnO-CdO) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (CEPS) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. Scanning electron...

We investigated the characterization and the regulation of TAUT (taurine transporter) and CDO (cysteine dioxygenase), one of the key enzymes of taurine biosynthesis, in human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells. The activity of TAUT in the HepG2 cells was evaluated by means of a sodium- and chloride-dependent high-affinity transport system, the characteristics of which were similar to those of the beta ...

The purpose of the study is to understand the profile (if any) of the typical Prosecco wine consumer, for both Controlled Denomination of Origin (CDO) and Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin (CGDO) types, with a twofold objective. First, the study aims at contributing to the economics literature dealing with opening the “black box of preferences” and understanding consumers’ behavi...

In the Black-Cox model, a firm makes default when its value hits an exponential barrier. Here, we propose an hybrid model that generalizes this framework. The default intensity can take two different values and switches when the firm value crosses the barrier. Of course, the intensity level is higher below the barrier. We get an analytic formula for the Laplace transform of the default time and...

A new tris-chelate Cd(II) complex, [Cd(DADMBTZ)3](ClO3)2 has been successfully synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray determination. The thermal behavior, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra of compound were studied. In reaction with DADMBTZ, Cadmium (II) forms a tris-chelate complex with nearly C3 symmetry for coordination polyhed...

By appointing a chief digital officer (CDO), firms decide for central role responsible their transformation. While CDOs have recently appeared in the C-suites of across globe, current literature lacks insights into specific antecedents CDO presence. Grounded peculiarities age, we provide theoretical arguments explaining how decision to centralize transformation responsibilities might be related...

A key feature of the 2007 financial crisis is that for some classes of securities trade has practically ceased. And where trade has occurred, it appears that market prices are well below their intrinsic values. This seems especially true for those securities where the payoff streams are particularly complex, for example, structured finance ABS CDOs. One explanation for this is that information ...

[email protected] Abstract – The CdO thin films were deposited using NaOH as the complexing agent by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used for film characterization. The deposited CdO thin film shows high absorbance in the UV region and low in the visible to near IR region of the spectroscopy. The energy band gap of the deposi...
