Building blocks of self-control: increased tolerance for delay with bundled rewards.
Impulsive choice can be defined as temporary preference for a smaller-sooner reward (SS) over a larger-later reward (LL). Hyperbolic discounting implies that impulsive choices will occur less when organisms choose between a series of SSs versus LLs all at once than when they choose between single SS versus LL pairs. Eight rats were exposed to two conditions of an intertemporal choice paradigm u...
متن کاملBuilding Blocks for DNA Self-Assembly
DNA complexes, like the double crossover, are used as building blocks for the assembly of higher-order structures. Currently, the number of experimentally proven reliable complexes is small. We have begun work on expanding the collection of such complexes. Here we report on our design concepts and initial experiments. In particular, we present experimental evidence of two new complexes: quadrup...
متن کاملBuilding Blocks for Embedded Control Systems
Developing embedded control systems using a building-block approach at all the parts enables an efficient and fast design process. Main reasons are the real plug-and-play capabilities of the blocks. Furthermore, due the simulatability of the designs, parts of the system can already be tested before the other parts are available. We have applied an object-oriented approach for modeling all three...
متن کاملChoice between rewards differing in amount and delay: Toward a choice model of self control.
A concurrent-chain procedure was used to study pigeons' choices between rewards differing in both amount and delay. The shorter delay terminated with a 2-second access to grain whereas the longer delay terminated with a 6-second access to grain. The ratio of the delays was constant within a given condition while their absolute values were varied. Over conditions, ratios of 6:1, 3:1, and 3:2 wer...
متن کاملDNA building blocks: keeping control of manufacture
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is the only source for de novo production of the four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) building blocks needed for DNA synthesis and repair. It is crucial that these dNTP pools are carefully balanced, since mutation rates increase when dNTP levels are either unbalanced or elevated. RNR is the major player in this homeostasis, and with its four different subs...
