Abnormal anatomical connectivity between the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex in conduct disorder. by Luca Passamonti, Graeme Fairchild, Alex Fornito, Ian M Goodyer, Ian Nimmo-Smith, Cindy C Hagan, Andrew J Calder

“…<h4>Results</h4>Adolescents with CD displayed higher FA within the right external capsule relative to controls (T = 6.08, P<0.05, Family-Wise Error, whole-brain correction). Tractography analyses showed that FA values within the uncinate fascicle (connecting the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex) were abnormally increased in individuals with CD relative to controls. …”

Flowsheets for hydroxyacetone–phenol binary mixture separation: The use of special distillation methods by I. S. Gaganov, E. V. Rytova, A. K. Frolkova

“…The viability of the latter was confirmed by comparing experimental and calculated on phase equilibrium data, and azeotropic data. The average relative error does not exceed 3%.Results. The dependence of the composition and boiling point of the hydroxyacetone–phenol azeotrope on pressure was determined in a computational experiment (as the pressure increases, the azeotrope is enriched with phenol). …”
