Acne affects 50 million Americans annually and can have marked psychological effects on patients, who may also poor experiences with different treatments. Our goal was to determine emotional sentiment associated patient global impressions of change (PGIC) for common Through Brandwatch, a social media analysis tool, our team at The University Illinois mined 90,121 posts pertaining key words in r...

Aspartic acid is prepared chemically or by the fermentation of carbohydrates. Currently, low molecular weight polyaspartic acids are prepared commercially by heating aspartic acid at high temperatures (>220 C) for several hours in the solid state. In an effort to develop a more rapid, continuous, melt polymerization scheme, aspartic acid was copolymerized with adipic, azelaic, sebacic, and dode...

AZI1 (AZELAIC ACID INDUCED 1) of Arabidopsis thaliana could be induced by azelaic acid and was involved in priming of systemic plant immunity. In the present work, expression of AZI1 in response to low temperature was investigated via RNA gel blot analysis. AZI1 could be induced slowly by cold stress and more than 6h treatment at 4°C was required to detect an increase in mRNA abundance. However...

The oxidation of organic films on cloud condensation nuclei has the potential to affect climate and precipitation events. In this work we present a study of the oxidation of a monolayer of deuterated oleic acid (cis-9-octadecenoic acid) at the air-water interface by ozone to determine if oxidation removes the organic film or replaces it with a product film. A range of different aqueous sub-phas...

Oral administration of ozonized sunflower oil to Wistar rats has produced changes in the urinary content of dicarboxylic acids. Heptanedioic acid (Pimelic acid) and nonanedioic acid (Azelaic acid) were the major increased dicarboxylic acids founded. The aim of this work is the study of the urinary dicarboxylic acid profiles of Wistar rats, orally treated with ozonized standard triglycerides. Th...
