The effect of a topically-applied cosmetic oil formulation on striae distensae
South African Family Practice, 2009 Background: Stretch marks or striae distensae are tears in the dermis, above which the epidermis remains intact. Striae result from rapid expansion of the underlying tissue, e.g. during puberty, pregnancy or rapid weight gain. The prevalence of striae is

Effects of Low-Level Artificial Light at Night on Kentucky Bluegrass and an Introduced Herbivore
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or under high levels of artificial light that are infrequent or unrealistic in urban

Effects of Substituents on the Photophysical/Photobiological Properties of Mono-Substituted Corroles
Molecules, 2023 The trans-A2B-corrole series was prepared starting with 5-(pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethene, which was then reacted with respective aryl-substituted aldehyde by Gryko synthesis. It was further characterized by HRMS and electrochemical methods.
