Tardigrade: A Hardware Accelerator for Sparse Matrix Multiplication and Sparse Convolution
… This work addresses this challenge through Tardigrade, a hardware accelerator for both SpMSpM and sparse convolution. Tardigrade extends the design of Gamma, a recent hardware accelerator for SpMSpM, to accelerate sparse convolution while retaining its SpMSpM capabilities. We compare …

Molecular Mechanisms of DNA Protection by Tardigrade Damage Suppressor Protein (Dsup): Structural Adaptation and Functional Interactions
… leading to DNA damage, mutations, and disease. Tardigrades, extremotolerant organisms, exhibit remarkable resilience to such stressors, largely attributed to the DNA damage suppressor protein (Dsup). This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying Dsup’s DNA-protective function, …

A comparative Study of the Population Densities of Various Tardigrada Species
… was to compare the population density of tardigrades in regions as related to: (a) high and low particulate counts without reference to the nature of the particulate present and (b)high and low traffic flow density without reference to particulate counts. Procedure. Bark-lichen samples …

The tardigrada of southwest Virginia: with the addition of a description of a new species from Florida
… carried out primarily to study the semi-aquatic tardigrade fauna of Southwestern Virginia. Specimens were obtained from mosses and lichens and were mounted by use of a procedure employing a modification of Hoyer's medium. During the course of this study, 694 specimens were obtained and the …

Marine Interstitial Tardigrades and Other Meiofauna of Huntington Beach, South Carolina.
… The purpose of the study was to determine tardigrade species present and any significant differences in the distribution pattern. Meiofauna were analyzed to determine if there were significant differences in their distribution patterns in relation to abiotic variables.</p><p>Cores were …

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS OF A UNIQUE FULL-SCALE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AS REVEALED BY 454-PYROSEQUENCING
… an upset in 2012 with respect to excessive tardigrade growth. In response introduced sludge from another wastewater treatment plant (seed event) to help improve the microbial populations. 454-pyrosequencing was used as a method to identify and analyze the microbial populations of this …

A Bioinspired Approach to Engineer the Seed Microenvironment
Bioinspired by the tardigrade and bombyx mori, we engineer the seed microenvironment to encapsulate, preserve and deliver Rhizobium tropici. Scientific discoveries in agriculture and sustainability are at the crossroads of material science, biochemistry, agriculture and biology. They underpin the …

Next generation sequencing technology and phylogenomics enhance the resolution of deep node phylogenies: A study of the Protostomia
… adaptable group of ecdysozoans called the tardigrades or “water bears”. Their rapidly evolving nature has made the phylogenetic affinity of the Tardigrada ambiguous with three alternative hypotheses contesting their placement. A phylogenomic approach was implemented in order to clarify …

Using Fluorescent Probes to Study the Location and Interaction of Disaccharides within Lipid Bilayers
… well known that certain organisms, such as the tardigrade, are capable of surviving extreme conditions including dehydration, freezing and / or oxygen deficiency. The tardigrades ability to withstand such extreme conditions is associated with a decrease in its internal water content and the …

Species Redescriptions and Novel data on Study Methodologies, Biodiversity and Phylogeny of limno-terrestrial Tardigrades [Ridescrizione di Specie e Nuovi dati su Metodologie di Studio, Biodiversità e Filogenesi dei Tardigradi limno-terrestri]
I tardigradi costituiscono un phylum di animali (Tardigrada Doyère, 1840) di dimensioni ridotte, che variano da circa 50 a circa 1000 μm, con attualmente quasi 1500 specie note (Degma & Guidetti, 2007, 2024; Guidetti & Bertolani, 2005). Si trovano ovunque sia presente almeno un velo d'acqua e sono …
