Mycobacterium cosmeticum is a nontuberculous Mycobacterium recovered from different water sources including household potable water and Fridge Crisper Dish water collected at nail salon.Individual cases of this bacterium have been reported to be associated with gastrointestinal tract infections.Here we present the first whole-genome study and compa
Is there a right place? The effect of within-leaf clutch location on offspring survival in a glassfrog.
The choice of Apparel where to breed can have fundamental consequences for offspring development and survival.Among amphibians, desiccation is one of the biggest threats to offspring survival, especially in species that deposit their clutches in terrestrial habitats.In several species, hydration of the clutch is ensured by a caregiving parent, but

Force Trends and Pulsatility for Catheter Contact Identification in Intracardiac Electrograms during Arrhythmia Ablation
The intracardiac electrical activation maps are commonly used as a guide in the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias.The use of catheters with force sensors has been proposed in order to know if the electrode is in contact with the tissue during the Apparel registration of intracardiac electrograms (EGM).Although threshold criteria on force signals are
