A hybrid tactile sensor system is proposed for a robot hand to hold and grip an object adaptively as the sensor system measures the slip of an object, the gripping force, and the deformation of its silicon rubber sensor element. A hybrid tactile sensor system consists of a Carbon Micro‐Coil (CMC) touch sensor and a force sensor. The CMC sensor element is made of silicon...

We describe a novel fluorescent dye, 3-(4-aminophenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (termed case myelin compound or CMC), that can be used for in situ fluorescent imaging of myelin in the vertebrate nervous system. When administered via intravenous injection into the tail vein, CMC selectively stained large bundles of myelinated fibers in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous sys...

Dietary carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) inhibits lipid digestibility in broiler chickens by increasing the viscosity of small intestinal digesta. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary CMC on lipid digestibility in rats fed diets containing either starch or glucose. It was hypothesized that CMC would have a greater inhibitory effect on lipid digestibility when the diet cont...

Dislocation of the first carpometacarpal (CMC) is a rare occurrence. Treatment of this dislocation varies from closed reduction and casting to ligament repair. Neglected dislocation or incomplete reduction of the 1(st) CMC cause chronic instability and painful arthritis, muscle imbalance and decreased grip force. In our study 6 patients is evaluated that were visited in less than 24 hours from ...

This study proposes and tests a novel theoretical mechanism to explain increased selfdisclosure intimacy in text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) versus face-to-face (FtF) interactions. On the basis of joint effects of perception intensification processes in CMC and the disclosure reciprocity norm, the authors predict a perceptionbehavior intensification effect, according to which pe...

This study compares face-to-face (FTF) focus groups with focus groups conducted via computer-mediated communication (CMC), using a range of outcome, process and subjective measures. Sixteen groups of three undergraduates participated in focus group discussions under FTF and CMC conditions on two different topics. Topics, communication condition and order of discussion were counterbalanced over ...

We present the case of a 71-year-old, left-handed woman with left thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis. The patient had no pain and could use the hand actively in daily life with a new option of surgical treatment, a vascularized pedicled third CMC joint transfer to the thumb CMC joint.

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) derived from pathological tissues is ideal for screening specific components acting on specific diseases from complex medicines owing to the maximum simulation of in vivo drug-receptor interactions. However, there are no pathological tissue-derived CMC models that have ever been developed, as well as no visualized affinity comparison of potential active compon...

BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation, imbalance of proteolytic and antiproteolytic activities, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of lung structural cells contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD. There is increasing evidence that carboxymethylcysteine (also known as carbocisteine) (CMC), which is commonly used for its mucoactive property, has diverse pharmacologic actions, including significant antioxid...
