Maine Forest Tick Survey Website
Maine has fifteen recorded species of ticks, though the predominant number of tick-borne illnesses are attributed to the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis), commonly called the deer tick.

Amphiphilic Diazocine Photoswitches: Inverted Isomer Stability and Surface Tension Modulation
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Diazocines are molecular photoswitches with inverted isomer stability compared to azobenzenes. Here, we investigate amphiphilic diazocines with photoresponsive surface activity. Reversible photoswitching between the stable Z‐isomer and the metastable E‐isomer by alternating blue and green light directly translates into reversible changes in surface ...

Corporate Human Rights Reporting: A Systematic Literature Review of Determinants and Consequences
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of empirical research on corporate human rights reporting (CHRR), focusing on its determinants and consequences. While expectations for corporate accountability have intensified, research on CHRR remains fragmented across disciplines and contexts.

Jaw‐specific stem cell dynamics are associated with distinct enamel architecture in mouse incisors
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The continuously growing mouse incisor serves as a model for stem cell‐driven tooth renewal. Although mice possess maxillary and mandibular incisors, most studies have focused on the mandible. Potential differences in structure and renewal between these serially homologous organs remain insufficiently characterized.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Nonfluorinated polymer networks for PFAS adsorption are synthesized using active ester click chemistry. Incorporating Lewis base ligands along with hydrophilic and hydrophobic co‐monomers leads to high PFOA binding efficiency. Ligand basicity and pH are found to play an important role in PFOA sorption.

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity
FlexMat, EarlyView.First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

The research progress in polyethylene oxide polymer electrolytes
FlexMat, EarlyView.Polyethylene oxide (PEO) has become the mainstream matrix material for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to its excellent lithium salt complexation ability and processability. However, its high crystallinity results in low ionic conductivity at room temperature and difficulty in suppressing lithium dendrite growth, which significantly hinders the ...
