Cohen, J. A. (1995). Computer mediated communication and publication productivity among faculty in Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) institutions (Doctoral dissertation, State University of New York at Buffalo, 1995). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether faculty who used Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) achieved greater scholarly productivity as measure...

BACKGROUND Hyaluronic acid is a prognostic factor in ovarian cancers. It is also a component of Hyaluronic Acid-Carboxymethyl Cellulose (HA-CMC) barrier, an anti-adhesion membrane widely used during abdominal surgeries in particular for ovarian carcinosis. 70% of patients who undergo ovarian surgery will relapse due to the persistence of cancer cells. This study's objective was to determine the...

In 1841, Delaunay constructed the embedded surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (CMC); these unduloids have genus zero and are now known to be the only embedded CMC surfaces with two ends and finite genus. Here, we construct the complete family of embedded CMC surfaces with three ends and genus zero; they are classified using their asymptotic necksizes. We work in a class slightl...

Zur erfolgreichen Überbrückung von Distanz in verteilten Teams müssen computerbasierte Kommunikationsmedien (Computer-Mediated Communication, CMC) neben der Unterstützung für die Kommunikation über Text, Audio oder Video auch adäquate Mechanismen für die Organisation und Verwaltung von Kontakten bieten. In diesem Beitrag berichten wir über unsere Literaturstudie und unsere empirische Untersuchu...

With the aim of better understanding the phase behavior of alkyl maltosides (n-alkyl-β-d-maltosides, CnG2) under the conditions of membrane protein crystallization, we studied the influence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 2000, a commonly used precipitating agent, on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the alkyl maltosides by systematic variation of the number n of carbon atoms in the al...

We have isolated and characterized the human cardiac mast cell (CMC) and compared this novel mast cell (MC type with MC obtained from uterus, skin, and lung. Heart tissue was obtained from 14 patients with cardiomyopathy (CMP, heart transplantation). CMC were isolated by enzymatic digestion using collagenase, pronase-E, hyaluronidase, and DNAse. Substantial amounts of CMC (0.5% to 1.5% of isola...

Employer monitoring of communications is prevalent, and new legislation is increasing use of the practice, potentially leading to unintended and unexpected consequences. While there is ample evidence that use of computer-mediated communications (CMC) media influences what people communicate, the nature of CMC content is difficult to predict. Several theories suggest that CMC is less inhibited d...

Specific cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) of lymph node cells from immunized C3Hf mice, against syngeneic C3H/Umc mammary tumor cells, assayed in vitro, is effected by T lymphocytes. This CMC response is biphasic, with an early peak attained within 6 hr and a second major peak beginning at about 18 hr. Effector cells of both the early minor and late major phases of the response belong to the Ly...

Solubilization of hexadecane by two surfactants, SDBS and Triton X-100, at concentrations near the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the related aggregation behavior was investigated in this study. Solubilization was observed at surfactant concentrations lower than CMC, and the apparent solubility of hexadecane increased linearly with surfactant concentration for both surfactants. The ca...

PURPOSE To evaluate effects of a novel multi-ingredient artificial tear formulation containing carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in a murine dry eye model. METHODS Dry eye was induced in mice (C57BL/6) using an intelligently controlled environmental system (ICES). CMC+HA (Optive Fusion™), CMC-only (Refresh Tears(®)), and HA-only (Hycosan(®)) artificial tears and control ph...
