Recently, an increasing number of studies have suggested a role for the basal ganglia and related dopamine inputs in procedural learning, specifically when learning occurs through trial-by-trial feedback (Shohamy, Myers, Kalanithi, & Gluck. (2008). Basal ganglia and dopamine contributions to probabilistic category learning. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 32, 219-236). A necessary relat...

In this paper global stabilisation of a complex network is attained by applying local decentralised static output feedback control, ensuring guaranteed bounds on quadratic performance. Necessary conditions for stabilisation of a complex network with quadratic performance are derived as a convex LMI representation. Strict positive realness conditions on the node level dynamics allow nonlineariti...

Digital sculpting is a popular means to create 3D models but remains a challenging task for many users. This can be alleviated by recent advances in data-driven and procedural modeling, albeit bounded by the underlying data and procedures. We propose a 3D sculpting system that assists users in freely creating models without predefined scope. With a brushing interface similar to common sculpting...

For a reliable ow controlled multicast transport protocol to scale it must avoid the feedback implosion problem particularly if the pro tocol targets arbitrarily large multicast groups communicating over lossy networks Most existing feedback control mechanisms based on probabilistic sup pression address the feedback implosion problem by suppressing feedback using timers based on round trip time...

Determining which factors promote or impede the sharing of knowledge within organizations constitutes an important area of research. This paper looks at knowledge sharing through the lens of equity theory. The study will explore the impact of three types of justice – distributional, procedural and interactional – on knowledge sharing. Distributional justice refers to the judgments that people m...

corrective feedback (cf) and its different types have long absorbed many scholars and practitioners. as ellis (2009) mentioned some experimental studies need to be carefully designed to discover the relative effectiveness of each of these cf techniques. the goal of this qualitative study was to discover whether the employment of different cf strategies could bring about an attitudinal shift. to...
