REDISCOVERY OF REMARKABLY RARE ANAEROBIC TENTACULIFEROUS CILIATE GENERA LEGENDREA AND DACTYLOCHLAMYS (CILIOPHORA: LITOSTOMATEA)

Rediscovery of Remarkably Rare Anaerobic Tentaculiferous Ciliate Genera Legendrea and Dactylochlamys (Ciliophora: Litostomatea)

Free-living anaerobic ciliates are of considerable interest from an ecological and an evolutionary standpoint.Extraordinary tentacle-bearing predatory lineages have evolved independently several times within the phylum Ciliophora, including two Red by kiss rarely encountered anaerobic litostomatean genera, Legendrea and Dactylochlamys.In this study

First-in-human demonstration of floating EMG sensors and stimulators wirelessly powered and operated by volume conduction

Abstract Background Recently we reported the design and evaluation of floating semi-implantable devices that receive power from and bidirectionally communicate with an external system using coupling by volume conduction.The approach, of which the semi-implantable devices are proof-of-concept prototypes, may overcome some limitations presented by ex
