We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the cmc surface equation, including the minimal one, for zero boundary data, in certain domains of the plane. We obtain results that characterize the sphere and cmc graphs among compact embedded cmc surfaces with planar boundary satisfying certain geometric conditions. We also find conditions that imply that a c...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / starch (S) /Carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) / Montmorillonite (MMT) bionanocomposite films were prepared from PVA, MMT, CMC and soluble starch aqueous suspensions by casting method in the presence of a plasticizer that contained glycerol. The kinetics of thermal degradation of PVA/S/CMC/MMT blends was investigated by thermogravimetry (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetr...

The influence of surfactants (anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate, and nonionic tert-octylphenol ethoxylate with 9.5EO) and their mixtures on the adsorption of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in the presence of 0.001 M NaCl on the manganese dioxide surface (MnO(2)) was studied. The increase in CMC adsorption was observed in all measured systems in the presence of surfactants. The reason for this is the...

PURPOSE Idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a common disabling disease that often causes pain and motion loss. The aims of this study were to characterize the multidimensional motion capability of the thumb CMC joint in a group with severe CMC OA and to compare it with a control group. METHODS We included 15 subjects with stage III/IV CMC OA according to...

Contractile responses to 4-chloro-m-cresol (4-CmC) were tested in saponin- and Triton X-100-skinned fibers from soleus and edl (extensor digitorum longus) muscles of adult rats and compared with those to caffeine. The testing of different concentrations of 4-CmC on saponin-skinned fibers showed that 4-CmC induced a dose-dependent caffeine-like transient contractile response in edl and soleus du...

Theoretically based factors of computer mediated communication (CMC) competence are analyzed in the context of education for effective use of internet technology in online interpersonal communication and group interaction. An empirical analysis was performed of two versions of a newly developed CMC competence self-assessment measure. The first version of this measure was applied in a paper-and-...

Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) is the key point for surface chemistry as well as chemist and systematic data collection and day-to-day development in this regard is very essential. Hence, we have analyzed the CMC of surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer at room temperature (28C), with the change in surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer concentration CMC values were observed by two m...

−Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is used for a variety of applications due to its superior properties of high viscosity at a low concentration. In this study, the difference between a gamma ray (GR) irradiation from Co-60 and an electron beam (EB) irradiation with 10 MeV Energy on the viscosity change in CMC solution was compared. At the same irradiation doses, the viscosity of the CMC solution wa...

High-viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) promotes gastrointestinal disorders, tissue alterations and bacterial overgrowth in pigs. The impact of CMC on intestinal absorptive and secretory physiology is not known. We hypothesised that CMC consumption alters intestinal Na-dependent glucose absorption and stimulates electrogenic chloride secretion. For testing this hypothesis, twenty-four pigle...

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is characterized by recurrent or persistent infections affecting the nails, skin and oral and genital mucosae caused by Candida spp., mainly Candida albicans. CMC is an infectious phenotype in patients with inherited or acquired T-cell deficiency. Patients with autosomal-dominant (AD) hyper IgE syndrome (HIES), AD signal transducer and activator of transc...
