Cortex-muscle coherence (CMC) reflects coupling between magnetoencephalography (MEG) and surface electromyography (sEMG), being strongest during isometric contraction but absent, for unknown reasons, in some individuals. We used a novel nonmagnetic high-density sEMG (HD-sEMG) electrode grid (36 mm × 12 mm; 60 electrodes separated by 3 mm) to study effects of sEMG recording site, electrode deriv...

CMC polymer is used as an additive to decrease water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling. In this study, the effect of CMC and CMC nanoparticles on water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling is investigated. CMC nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling and their size is measured by Particle size analyzer. CMC and CMC nanoparticles which were prepared by Hamilton batch mixe...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the molecular size of carboxymethylcellulose (cmc) and some hydrophobic polymer additives on the release properties of theophylline from tablet matrices. The cmc matrices were prepared by the conventional wet granulation method. The granules were evaluated for angles of repose, bulk density, compressibility index, and porosity, whi...

PURPOSE In this study, the ability of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), used in artificial tear formulations, to interact with corneal-epithelial-cells (HCECs) and facilitate corneal epithelial wound healing was investigated. METHODS HCECs were incubated with fluorescein-labeled CMC (F-CMC). CMC-epithelial binding was measured by spectrophotometry. The effect on F-CMC binding by hyaluronic acid (...

The question addressed was whether the essential oil components, carvacrol and cinnamaldehyde, would have an interactive effect with regard to growth performance. One-day old female broiler chickens were subjected to one of 5 dietary treatments for 21 days: a base diet as a negative control, the base diet with 1% Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), the CMC diet with 200 ppm carvacrol, the CMC diet w...

The effect of adsorbed and soluble carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on dispersing, dewaterability, and fines retention of pulp fibre suspensions was investigated. CMC was added to a suspension in the presence of electrolytes, causing its adsorption to the fibre surfaces, or to a suspension without electrolytes, so that it stayed in the liquid phase. Both the CMC adsorbed on fibre surfaces and that...

Polypyrrole (PPy) was chemically synthesised at two pH levels (pH = 2 and unadjusted pH, i.e. 6.6) using pre-formed carboxymethylcelluloseiron (CMC-Fe) complexes. The CMC-Fe complexes were prepared at a fixed CMC concentration, i.e. 5.5x10 mol/L, and with an increasing FeCl3 amount (from 4x10 to 5x10 mol/L). The quantity of iron bound to CMC was determined by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to identify pediatric hospitalists' perceived views of (1) barriers to delivering care to children with medical complexity (CMC) and (2) their preferred model of inpatient health care delivery for CMC. SUBJECTS American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Hospital Medicine (AAP-SOHM) Listserv subscribers. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of su...

In order to fabricate antimicrobial carboxymethyl chitosan-nanosilver (CMC-Ag) hybrids with controlled silver release, this study demonstrated comparable formation via three synthetic protocols: 1) carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and glucose (adding glucose after AgNO3), 2) CMC and glucose (adding glucose before AgNO3), and 3) CMC only. Under principles of green chemistry, the synthesis was conduc...

It has been suggested that people with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) are attracted to computer-mediated communication (CMC). In this study, several open questions regarding CMC use in people with ASC which are investigated. We compare CMC use in adults with high-functioning ASC (N = 113) and a control group (N = 72). We find that people with ASC (1) spend more time on CMC than controls, (2) ...
