This article surveys the literature on miniature radio transmitters designed to track free-ranging wild animals using emitter-localization techniques. The articles covers the topics of power sources used in such transmitters, including miniature batteries and energy harvesting, techniques for generating the transmitted radio-frequency carrier, techniques for creating short radio pulses and more general on-off schedules, modulation in modern wildlife-tracking transmitters, construction, manufacturing, and tuning techniques, and recent trends in this area. The article also describes the recreation of the first successful wildlife-tracking transmitter, a nontrivial invention that had a profound impact on wildlife ecology, and explores its behavior.

Carl Woese's thesis of cellular evolution emphasized that the last universal common/cellular ancestor (LUCA) must have evolved by drawing from "global inventions". Yet, existing theories regarding the origin(s) of LUCA have mostly centered upon scenarios that LUCA had evolved mostly independently. In an earlier paper, we advanced a new theory regarding the origin(s) of LUCA that extends Woese's original insights.

We describe a novel experimental device, the VaMa (Vatavuk and Marić) artificial intraocular lens (IOL) capsule, and a method that enables all IOL types to be implanted in the bag. We present the application of the device and the procedure in patients with aphakia and native capsule damage and without efficient capsular support. The VaMa device and the method facilitate IOL exchange due to refractive errors and, in the case of their invention, the implementation of superior IOLs in the future.

One of the most significant industries in the world is the meat sector, and development into new goods is ongoing due to high customer demand and fierce market competition. Products made from chicken are widely favored. This phenomenon can be attributed to the lack of cultural or religious restrictions on this meat.
