PENALTY FUNCTION METHOD FOR GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF IMPERFECT TRUSS WITH MULTI-FREEDOM CONSTRAINTS BASED ON MIXED FEM

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

Creativity as Predictor of Mathematical Abilities in Fourth Graders in Addition to Number Sense and Working Memory

In this study, it was investigated how domain-specific (number sense) and domain-general (working memory, creativity) factors explain the variance in mathematical abilities in primary school children.A total of 166 children aged 8 to 10 years old participated.Several tests to measure math ability, mathematical creativity, number sense, verbal and v

Camptothecin and khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) induced distinct cell death phenotypes involving modulation of c-FLIPL, Mcl-1, procaspase-8 and mitochondrial function in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines

Abstract Background An organic extract of the recreational herb khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) triggers cell death in various leukemia cell lines in vitro.The chemotherapeutics camptothecin, a plant alkaloid topoisomerase I inhibitor, was tested side-by-side with khat in a panel of acute myeloid leukemia cell lines to elucidate mechanisms caroline gard
