The hyperpersonal model of computer-mediated communication (CMC) posits that users exploit the technological aspects of CMC in order to enhance the messages they construct to manage impressions and facilitate desired relationships. This research examined how CMC users managed message composing time, editing behaviors, personal language, sentence complexity, and relational tone in their initial ...

Aggregation behaviour of cefprozil monohydrate (C18H19N3O5S.H2O), an antibiotic, has been studied in presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of drug is determined to be 0.34 mM and is observed to decrease significantly at SDS < 2 mM. Above this concentration increase is less prominent and remains almost constant. ...

Cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) in spleens and lymph nodes of allografted rats was determined by release of (51)Cr from labeled target cells incubated with aggressor lymphoid cells. CMC was first detected in grafted adult rats on day 5, peaked on days 7 and 8, and declined rapidly to background levels by days 9 to 11. In allografted neonates and in cyclophosphamide-treated or neonatally thymec...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC), such as email, instant messaging, and online texting, is an important channel for influencing message receivers’ behavior. We observe that, while most communication media are structurally biased to support either interpersonal or broadcast modes of communication CMC can support both. We argue in this paper that people respond to this ambiguity by categoriz...

Using biodegradable films is increasingly growing since they contain natural materials. In this study, sago starch and carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) were used in film preparation. Sago starch films with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% CMC concentrations were prepared using solvent casting method. The mechanical properties were determined according to standards of American Society for Testing and Materials...

Little is known about engagement of exceptional youth with this tech...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of 6.0% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in modifying the oculomotor system of rabbits by means of viscoelastic action forces, the durability of this effect and possible inflammatory reaction. METHODS Twenty-five New Zealand rabbits were divided into two experimental groups: one treated with a peribulbar injection of 6.0% CMC and a control group submitted to perib...

Many studies have addressed corticomuscular coherence (CMC), but broad applications are limited by low coherence values and the variability across subjects and recordings. Here, we investigated how the use of high-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) can improve the detection of CMC. Sixteen healthy subjects performed isometric contractions at six low-force levels using a pinch-grip, while...

Bending sensors enable compact, wearable designs when used for measuring hand configurations in data gloves. While existing data gloves can accurately measure angular displacement of the finger and distal thumb joints, accurate measurement of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint movements remains challenging due to crosstalk between the multi-sensor outputs required to measure the degrees of freed...

Computer mediated communication (CMC) is fundamentally different from other modes of informational exchange. The presence of those with whom one communicates is not completely known. Their identities are in question, easily created, and changed by CMC users themselves who are not constricted by geographical or political boundaries. CMC represents a new form of communication—a “cyborg discourse”...
