Autonomous Ticking Clocks from Axiomatic Principles [PDF]
Quantum 5, 381 (2021), 2020 There are many different types of time keeping devices. We use the phrase ticking clock to describe those which -- simply put -- "tick" at approximately regular intervals. Various important results have been derived for ticking clocks, and more are in the pipeline.

Tick bite prevention and tick removal [PDF]
BMJ, 2013 #### Summary points (advice for patients) Ticks are small blood feeding ectoparasites with a global distribution. They are important vectors of disease pathogens including rickettsiae, spirochaetes, and viruses. Prevention of tick attachment and rapid removal reduce the risk of contracting tickborne diseases, and there are many recommendations on how

Pattern of tick aggregation on mice: larger than expected distribution tail enhances the spread of tick-borne pathogens [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology 10 (11): e1003931, 2014, 2014 The spread of tick-borne pathogens represents an important threat to human and animal health in many parts of Eurasia. Here, we analysed a 9-year time series of Ixodes ricinus ticks feeding on Apodemus flavicollis mice (main reservoir-competent host for tick-borne encephalitis, TBE) sampled in Trentino (Northern Italy).
