Millions of tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are produced each year, however only ~30% of PET is currently recycled in the United States. Improvement of PET recycling and upcycling practices is an area of ongoing research. One method for PET upcycling is chemical depolymerization (through hydrolysis or aminolysis) into aromatic monomers and subsequent biodegradation.

Organic acids are produced via photochemical reactions and are also directly emitted from various sources, including combustion, microbial activity, vegetation, soils, and ruminants. We present measurements of gas-phase formic, acetic, propionic, pyruvic, and pentanoic acids from a site near Boise, Idaho, in August 2019 made by iodide-adduct chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS).

- The study investigates how social and home environments influence early substance use initiation (SUI) in adolescents, particularly focusing on alcohol (AUI) and cannabis (CUI) use.
- It examines whether family history of substance use disorders (FH+) affects the relationship between these environmental factors and SUI.
- Findings reveal that risky peer affiliations increase the risk of AUI and CUI regardless of FH status, but a strong mother-youth relationship can provide protection from CUI, which is weakened for those with a FH+.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in unilateral Coats disease in the era of anti-VEGF therapy.
