Clinical utility of BOLD fMRI in preoperative work-up of epilepsy

Surgical techniques have emerged as a viable therapeutic option in patients with drug refractory epilepsy.Pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy requires a comprehensive, multiparametric, and multimodal approach for precise localization of the epileptogenic focus.Various non-invasive techniques are available at the disposal of the treating physician t

Penalty function method for geometrically nonlinear buckling analysis of imperfect truss with multi-freedom constraints based on mixed FEM

This paper is concerned with the approach to implementing the Penalty function method for imposing multi-freedom constraints in geometrically nonlinear analysis of imperfect trusses based on mixed finite element formulation.Using a finite element model based on displacement formulation, it is required to incorporate both the dependent boundary rela
