The impact of installing process control systems can be expected in terms of performance improvements through reduced operating costs.  Since these installations impose considerable capital expenditure, the profitability of the new systems should be economically justified. Controlled variable trend was reconstructed by a combination of simple waves, which provided a means to simulate the ef...

since the emergence of the process-oriented approach to second language writing instruction two main questions have been what and how error feedback should be given to the students. the question of whether teachers should provide feedback on grammar in the writing assignments of english as a foreign language students, and if so how, has been a matter of considerable debate in the field of secon...

An important feature of adaptive social behavior is the ability to flexibly modify future actions based on the successes or failures of past experiences. The ventral striatum (VS) occupies a central role in shaping behavior by using feedback to evaluate actions and guide learning. The current studies tested whether feedback indicating the need to update social knowledge would engage the VS, the...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore anaesthetists' perceptions and experience of the implementation of multi-source feedback (MSF) for their performance review. METHODS Twelve semi-structured thematic interviews were conducted with staff anaesthetists and their director to explore the perceptions of, and responses to, the MSF system, the feedback given, and their work context. An ...

For day-to-day decisions, multiple factors influence our choice between alternatives. Two dimensions of decision making that substantially affect choice are the objective perceptual properties of the stimulus (e.g., salience) and its subjective value. Here we measure EEGs in human subjects to relate their feedback-evoked EEG responses to estimates of prediction error given a neurally derived ex...

the objective of the present paper is to shed some light on peer feedback in efl writing courses. in recent years, with regard to teaching writing, there has been a total shift of approach, from product-orientation to process-orientation. a key component of the latter is peer assessment in which learners read each other's compositions and provide feedback to the writer, based on the teache...

researchers have suggested that interactional feedback which is between teacher and learner during their writing is associated with l2 learning because it prompts learners to notice l2 forms. this paper reports a classroom-based study that investigated the role of feedback in socio-cultural theory. in this study, 12 efl learners performed on three writing tasks and were provided with a three-st...

Learning from feedback lies at the foundation of adaptive behavior. Two prior neuroimaging studies have suggested that there are qualitative differences in how children and adults use feedback by demonstrating that dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and parietal cortex were more active after negative feedback for adults, but after positive feedback for children. In the current study we used...

introduction: feedback cards are recommended as a feasible tool for structured written feedback delivery in clinical education while effectiveness of this tool on the medical students’ performance is still questionable. the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of structured written feedback by cards as well as verbal feedback versus verbal feedback alone on the clinical performance ...

This paper analyzes the performance of different controllers such as feedback, feedback plus feed-forward and internal model controller to regulate the temperature of outlet fluid of a shell and tube heat exchanger to a certain reference value. The transient performance and the error criteria of the controllers are analyzed and the best controller is found out. From the simulation results, it i...
