In this review, we first set out the general linear model (GLM) for the non technical reader, as a tool able to do both linear regression and ANOVA within the same flexible framework. We present a short history of its development in the fMRI community, and describe some interesting examples of its early use. We offer a few warnings, as the GLM relies on assumptions that may not hold in all situ...

Abstract We present a version of the Discrete Element Method considering particles as rigid polyhedra. The Principle Virtual Work is employed basis for multibody dynamics model. Each particle surface split into sub-regions, which are tracked contact with other sub-regions neighboring particles. Contact interactions modeled pointwise, vertex-face, edge-edge, vertex-edge and vertex-vertex interac...
